Epidemiology and risk factors for invasive candidiasis. | LitMetric

Epidemiology and risk factors for invasive candidiasis.

Ther Clin Risk Manag

Department of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, Dokuz Eylül University, İzmir, Turkey.

Published: June 2014

The number of immunosuppressive patients has increased significantly in recent years. These patients are at risk for opportunistic infections, especially fungal infections. Candidiasis is one of the most frequent fungal infections determined in these immunosuppressive patients and its epidemiology has changed over the last two decades. Recently, new antifungal agents and new therapy strategies such as antifungal prophylaxis, secondary prophylaxis, and preemptive therapy have come into use. These changes resulted in the alteration of Candida species causing invasive infections. The incidence of Candida albicans was decreased in many countries, especially among patients with immunosuppressive disorders, while the incidence of species other than C. albicans was increased. In this review, incidence, risk factors, and species distribution of invasive candidiasis are discussed.

This study explores the effect of aspirin on preeclampsia (PE) and analyzes the influencing factors of PE in high-risk pregnant women. We encompassed 110 high-risk pregnant women receiving prenatal examination at Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Yichang City between January 2022 and December 2023, categorized them into the intervention group (n=58,received aspirin therapy), and the control group (n=52, didn't receive pharmaceutical prophylaxis). Clinical and laboratory parameters were compared between groups, with logistic regression performed.

Intestinal failure-associated liver disease in adult patients with chronic intestinal failure receiving home parenteral nutrition: A descriptive cohort study.

JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr

March 2025

Gastroenterology Department, CHU de Bordeaux, Centre Medico-chirurgical Magellan, Hôpital Haut-Lévêque, Université de Bordeaux, Bordeaux, France.

Background: Intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD) is a major complication of chronic intestinal failure. Few data exist about hepatic monitoring of IFALD using the liver stiffness measurement. The aim of this study was to provide a descriptive analysis of IFALD and its prevalence in a tertiary center and to determine the IFALD risk factors and high liver stiffness measurement values using FibroScan.

In a review of the generalized results of foreign and domestic studies on the development mechanism and pathogenesis of vascular calcification. The etiopathogenetic, pathophysiological and histomorphological features of mediacalcinosis, which reveal changes in the vascular bed in patients with DM, are considered. The role of risk factors for diseases, such as increased glycemia, changes in insulin levels, impaired lipid metabolism, obesity, arterial hypertension, CKD and aging, is indicated.

Background: Undernutrition denotes inadequate intake of energy and nutrients to meet one's optimal needs. Pregnant women are at an increased risk of undernutrition due to the added nutritional demand for fetal growth and development. Updated evidence is important for monitoring progress and informing healthcare decisions.
