Risk Factor Analysis for 30-day Mortality After Surgery for Infective Endocarditis
CONCLUSION: This study indeed clearly indicates that significant risk factors for 30-day mortality cannot be changed. Nevertheless, they should be taken into account for preoperative counselling, and they will alert the surgical team for an even more careful management.PMID:38373718 | DOI:10.1055/s-0044-1779709 (Source: The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon)

Diagnostic work-up and current management strategies for infective endocarditis in the pediatric population
AbstractInfective endocarditis (IE) remains a serious disease that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and despite the significant advances that have been made in understanding the disease process in past decades, its incidence appears to be on the rise recently. Endocarditis in children is no longer a rare occur rence. This appeared to be related to a combination of the improved survival of children with congenital heart diseases (CHDs), increase use of intracardiac protheses, and catheter-related interventions. The American Heart Association (AHA) 2007 guidelines reduced the recommendations for use ...

Biofilm-mediated infections by multidrug-resistant microbes: a comprehensive exploration and forward perspectives
Arch Microbiol. 2024 Feb 14;206(3):101. doi: 10.1007/s00203-023-03826-z.ABSTRACTA biofilm is a collection of microorganisms organized in a matrix of extracellular polymeric material. Biofilms consist of microbial cells that attach to both surfaces and each other, whether they are living or non-living. These microbial biofilms can lead to hospital-acquired infections and are generally detrimental. They possess the ability to resist the human immune system and antibiotics. The National Institute of Health (NIH) states that biofilm formation is associated with 65% of all microbial illnesses and 80% of chronic illnesses. Addit...
