DOI: 10.1002/ppul.25769
Abstract: BACKGROUND Little is known about the airway microbiome in intubated mechanically ventilated children. We sought to characterize the airway microbiome longitudinally and in association with clinical variables and possible ventilator-associated infection (VAI). METHODS Serial tracheal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bbi.2016.10.004
Abstract: BACKGROUND Infections represent the most frequent medical complications in stroke patients. Their main determinants are dysphagia and a transient state of immunodepression. We analyzed whether distinct anatomical brain regions were associated with the occurrence of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-08948-w
Abstract: Perioperative administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) is thought to be related to decreased postoperative implant-associated infection rates; however, the relationship remains unclear. We explored the inhibitory effect of TXA on infection both in vitro and… read more here.
