006), and female physicians' patients received their first intravenous (IV) antibiotic dose later than male physicians' patients in the ED ( = .003). Our study indicates that the sex of the attending physician may affect the chosen level of care and antibiotic treatment, and that admitted male patients with CAP were more seriously ill than admitted female patients with CAP.

Though extensively studied, data on the frequency and mutual associations of present mutations are still incomplete in adult patients. This retrospective study aims to map the genomic landscape of B-other ALL in a cohort of adult patients with a focus on the -like ALL subtype. We analyzed bone marrow and peripheral blood samples of adult B-other ALL patients treated consecutively at three major Czech teaching hospitals. Samples were analyzed by cytogenetic methods, gene expression profiling, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), and next-generation sequencing (NGS). Fifty-eight B-other ALL patients (not , -rearranged, , , or iAMP21) were included in the study. Median follow-up was 23.8months. Samples from 33 patients were available for a gene expression analysis, 48.9% identified as -like ALL. Of the -like ALL cases, 18.8% harbored and 12.5% fusion gene. We observed and identifies a number of novel gene variants.Since chronic dyslipidemia and inflammation play a major role in the etiopathogenesis of atherosclerotic plaque, we investigated the effects of a 7-week exercise on the serum lipid profile, plasma atherogenic index (PAI), and inflammatory biomarkers interleukin (IL), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 in male soccer players. Methods The participants in this study were 22 healthy male soccer players aged 19-25 years. IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-a, MCP-1, and lipid profile were recorded before and after the program. PAI was calculated as log (TG/HDL-C), where TG is triglyceride and HDL-C is high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Results There were significant decreases in post-exercise IL-6, TNF-α, and MCP-1 (for all, p less then .05). Compared to the pretest values, there were significant decreases in posttest total cholesterol (TC), TGs, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), non- high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), and PAI (for all, p less then .05). click here In contrast, HDL-C values increased after exercise (p less then .001). After exercise training TC, TGs, LDL-C, non-HDL-C, and PAI decreased and HDL-C increased, indicating improvement in parameters of dyslipidemia. The decreases in IL-6, TNF-α, and MCP-1 suggest a decrease in systemic inflammation.Purpose To analyse clinico-microbiological profile, antimicrobial susceptibilities, and visual prognostic factors in post-traumatic endophthalmitis (PTE).Methods Retrospective clinico-microbiological data analysis for five years (2014-18). Prognostic factors for visual outcomes were analysed by multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results Four hundred and eighteen patients with clinically diagnosed PTE were analysed. Culture positivity was found in 46.7% samples (44.5% vitreous, 83.3% non-vitreous). Pathogens isolated were Gram positive cocci (GPC, 49.3%, good susceptibility to vancomycin/cefazolin), Gram negative bacilli (GNB, 28.1%, less then 90% susceptibility to all antibiotics and 25.8% multidrug resistance), Gram positive bacilli (13.1%) and fungi (9.5%). Poor visual prognosis was associated with culture positivity, fungal or polymicrobial PTE, poor view of fundus and presence of membranes
