Early diagnosis of acute posttraumatic osteomyelitis (POM) is of vital importance for avoiding devastating complications. Diagnosing POM is difficult due to the lack of a highly specific and sensitive test, such as in myocardial infarct, stroke and intracranial bleeding. Serum We aimed to evaluate patients with vertebral osteomyelitis (VO) in our region and to compare the clinical and laboratory parameters of brucellar and non-brucellar VO patients (NBVO). This retrospective study included 80 patients with VO followed in our hospital between August 2004 and September
Osteomyelitis, or bone infection, is a major worldwide cause of morbidity. Treatment is frequently unsatisfactory, yet little is known about pathogenesis of infection. Plasma tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-8 concentrations were measured before and after lipopolysaccharide
Scintigraphy was used after injection of technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate (MDP) and indium-111-labeled white blood cells (WBCs) to assess for the presence of osteomyelitis in 97 patients who had undergone prior surgical procedures. Thirty-four patients with abnormal In-111-labeled WBC patterns
In the present study, quantification of different serum proteins known as inflammatory reactans was performed during different stages of chronic osteomyelitis of the jaws, to find a suitable tool for evaluation of treatment. In all 46 sera from 17 osteomyelitis patients and 6 healthy subjects were
Variceal bleeding and hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) are serious and life-threatening complications of advanced liver disease. Terlipressin is widely used to manage both acute variceal bleeding and HRS due to its potency and long duration of action. The most severe (though rare) adverse event is
We sought to identify factors associated with treatment failure and leg amputations among those patients who presented with foot osteomyelitis. Characteristics, treatments, and outcomes for all patients treated for probable or definite foot osteomyelitis (per consensus definition) between January
Unsatisfactory diagnosis and therapy of osteomyelitis are still common but challenging issues for clinicians. To overcome these problems, a bacterial inflammation-specific multifunctional agent, denoted bovine serum albumin-manganese dioxide-ubiquicidin29-41-indocyanine green (ICG)
Developed in this study is a multifunctional material for simultaneous osseoinduction and drug delivery, potentially applicable in the treatment of osteomyelitis. It is composed of agglomerates of nanoparticles of calcium phosphate (CAP) with different monophasic contents. The drug-loading capacity
Introduction: Pressure ulcer-related pelvic osteomyelitis is a relatively under-studied entity in the field of bone infection. We sought to add to the limited evidence base for managing this challenging syndrome. Methods: Cases were identified retrospectively from a surgical database
Twelve patients who had a large ulceration over the heel were managed with a partial calcanectomy, in lieu of a below-the-knee amputation, after unsuccessful non-operative treatment of the ulcer. Only patients who had an ankle-arm index (the ratio of blood pressure at the ankle to the brachial blood
Retrospective case series.To investigate the efficacy and complication profile of the use of paraspinous muscle flaps for closure of complex spinal wounds.Paraspinous muscle flap closure offers an innovative option in OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rh-EGF) in healing foot ulcers in diabetic patients.
METHODS
A total of 28 subjects with foot ulcers were recruited into the pilot study. Patients who had obvious peripheral arterial disease, trans-tibial
BACKGROUND
Rhodococcus (R) equi is an opportunistic, uncommon human pathogen that causes mainly infection in immunocompromised hosts. The disease is usually presented as subacute pneumonia that is mostly cavitary and sometimes bacteremic.
METHODS
We reported the extremly rare case of a 43-year-old
Vertebral osteomyelitis (VO) is a severe infection of the vertebral body and the adjacent disc space, where Staphylococcus aureus is most commonly isolated. The objective of this retrospective study was to determine risk factors for and compare outcome differences between de novo
