Nonresponses and treatment failures with conventional empiric regimens in patients with community-acquired pneumonia.

Although most patients with suspected CAP respond to empiric therapy,a small number of patients do not respond in the expected fashion. Age and underlying comorbid conditions have a strong influence on the course of illness. Less common causes of…

Outcomes of modular proximal femoral replacement in the treatment of complex proximal femoral fractures: a case series.

BACKGROUND: The treatment of complex femur fractures poses a significant challenge. Even with current advancements and the various implements available for the fixation of femoral fractures, results are often disappointing. This study sought to…

Optimal treatment strategies for community-acquired pneumonia: non-responders to conventional regimens.

When patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) fail to respond after initiation of empirical therapy, it is necessary for the physician to consider a number of possibilities. The diagnosis should be reviewed, with consideration given to both…

Ethyl vinyl chloride vapocoolant spray fails to decrease pain associated with intravenous cannulation in children.

The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of ethyl vinyl chloride vapocoolant spray on pain reported by children undergoing intravenous cannulation. A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial was conducted on eligible children…

International guidelines for the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia in adults: the role of macrolides.

The significance of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) has led to the publication of guidelines from numerous international organisations. Because the macrolide class of antimicrobials is active against most of the key pathogens associated with CAP,…

The use of sensory electrical stimulation for pressure ulcer prevention.

Pressure ulcer prevention is critically important for many people with reduced mobility. The authors investigated whether sensory (sub-motor-threshold) electrical stimulation (ES) may provide a convenient preventive intervention. A double-blinded,…

Clinical and public health implications of macrolide-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae

Macrolide resistance among Streptococcus pneumoniae is a growing global concern, although its specific impact on public health is not currently well defined. A Consensus Working Group was convened in March 2001 to address whether credible, scientific…

Most Patients With Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Who Failed Proton Pump Inhibitor Therapy Also Have Functional Esophageal Disorders.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: As many as 45% of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) still have symptoms after receiving once-daily proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy. We aimed to compare reflux characteristics and patterns between responders…
