Infections related to intrathecal baclofen therapy in children and adults: frequency and risk factors.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of infection and to identify risk factors for infection in connection with the implantation of an intrathecal baclofen (ITB) pump. METHODS: This retrospective study included all ... Read more...

An oxygen-sensing diguanylate cyclase and phosphodiesterase couple for c-di-GMP control.

18 Oct 2009 A commonly observed coupling of sensory domains to GGDEF-class diguanylate cyclases and EAL-class phosphodiesterases has long suggested that c-di-GMP synthesizing and degrading enzymes sense environmental signals. Nevertheless, relatively few signal ... Read more...

Hospital and societal costs of antimicrobial-resistant infections in a Chicago teaching hospital: implications for antibiotic stewardship.

13 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Organisms resistant to antimicrobials continue to emerge and spread. This study was performed to measure the medical and societal cost attributable to antimicrobial-resistant infection (ARI). METHODS: A sample of high-risk hospitalized ... Read more...
