HACEK-IE represented 1.3% of all IE cases. Clinical features and outcomes were comparable to those of the VGS-IE control group. Despite the trend towards a larger vegetation size, the embolic event rate was not higher and the 1-year mortality was significantly lower for HACEK-IE.
La endoscopia tiene el riesgo inherente de introducir bacterias en el organismo a través de las membranas mucosas, lo que podría ocasionar bacteriemia y posterior infección. El valor del uso de antibióticos profilácticos en pacientes que requieren procedimientos endoscópicos ha sido objeto de debate y su uso debe considerar el riesgo individual de cada paciente para desarrollar infecciones. La Asociación Mexicana de Endoscopia Gastrointestinal convocó a un grupo de endoscopistas, gastroenterólogos y enfermeros especializados en procesamiento de endoscopios con la finalidad de evaluar de manera crítica la evidencia científica y proponer estrategias para el uso racional de antibióticos mediante un consenso.
Significant association was shown between Hp and p53 expression, even in patients with pre-neoplastic lesions that no longer presented with Hp. Given that the identification of pre-neoplastic lesions is important for the prevention of cancer, immunohistochemistry could benefit routine biopsy carried out during endoscopy for the detection of Hp, by identifying patients with expression of the important oncogene regulator, p53.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
