Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by SARS-COV2, represents a highly transmissible and potentially fatal disease that is of great global public health concern at this moment. The pandemic situation in Bangladesh is also evolving rapidly with positive cases and deaths increasing each day.

Background: Group B streptococcus (GBS) infection of the newborn is a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality in North America. Up to 30% of pregnant women are colonized with GBS. Half of the babies born to colonized mothers will become colonized themselves, and of those, about 1-2% may

The majority of skin cancers are treated by surgical excision which is being performed in outpatient and primary care settings. Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the few complications of this relatively minor surgery. These infections often require antibiotics and repeat consultations to

Prolonged wound drainage following total joint replacement surgery has been shown to be a predictor of Periprosthetic Joint Infection (PJI) 1-3. Several studies have highlighted this subject, and estimates of the risk of postoperative infection range from 1.3% to 50% among patients with persistent

Obese patients with a BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2 undergoing endoscopic gastric bypass surgery will receive a 100 mg or a 200mg dose of micafungin. A PK curve will be determined after administration at t=0.5, 0.95, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, and (if feasible) 48 hours post infusion. Blood samples (4 mL) on PK

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with multiple comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease, anemia, mineral and bone disorders, malnutrition, body wasting, muscle loss (sarcopenia), neurological problems and infections resulting in a poor survival. Important promoters of these obstacles

Hypertension has become one of the most common diseases in the world and considered a public health challenge due to its association with morbidity and mortality and increased cost to society. Hypertension is the most important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease,

- The overall trial design is a prospective, open-label, non-randomized, single-centre, single-dose, multiple dose level trial, (1 mg/kg and 2 mg/kg). - A total of sixteen patients with a BMI ≥40 kg/m2 undergoing bariatric surgery who receive a pre-surgery dose of AmBisome 1 mg/kg (n=8) or 2 mg/kg

The current incidence of post-operative surgical infections varies between 6% for patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery to greater than 30% in high-risk surgery. 1 The administration of an antibiotic preoperatively is an important intervention that helps to reduce the risk of post-operative

All obese patients with a BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2 undergoing endoscopic gastric bypass surgery who receive a prophylactic single dose of 100 mg anidulafungin will be included in the analysis. A PK curve will be determined after administration of anidulafungin at t=0.5, 1, end of infusion, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12,

There are many publications indexed by Medline dealing with pomegranate and Punica granatum and there is interest in pomegranate as a medicinal and nutritional product. The pomegranate tree, Punica granatum, especially its fruit, possesses a vast ethnomedical history and represents a phytochemical

Hypothesis: Exposure to triclosan changes microbial flora and leads to changes in Objectives: 1. Assess diversity and quantities of microbial flora in gut, skin, mouth before, during, and after TC use 2. Assess whether TC use correlates with microbial resistance 3. If any, assess time to change in

This study is designed to explain the unexpected effects of obesity on NO bioavailability in the airways of asthmatics: Specifically, that obesity induces systemic oxidative stress in part through increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in adipose tissue and, in parallel (or as a
