Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOpiates Upregulate Adhesion Molecule Expression in Brain MicroVascular Endothelial Cells (BMVEC): Implications for Altered Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) PermeabilityMadhavan P.N. Nair, Supriya D. Mahajan, Jessica L. ReynoldsThe blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an intricate cellular system composed of vascular endothelial cells and perivascular astrocytes that restrict the passage of immunocompetent cells into the central nervous system (CNS). Expression of the adhesion molecules, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) on brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMVEC) and their interaction with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,610 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIdentification of Nocardiopsis dassonvillei in a Blood Sample from a ChildFlavio Lejbkowicz, Raya Kudinsky, Luisa Samet et al.Nocardiopsis dassonvillei is an environmental aerobic actinomycete producing a funguslike mycelium and aerial hyphae. Here we report the first Nocardiopsis dassonvillei isolated from a blood sample from a 3-year-old child hospitalized with fever, respiratory difficulty and cough. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time this organism has been detected in the BacT/Alert system. This Nocardiopsis was … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,280 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBacterial Resistance in Primary Bloodstream Infections in the COVID-19 Pandemic: What has Changed at a Reference Hospital in Northeastern Brazil?Jonathan Da Silva Xavier, Jorge Luiz Nobre Rodrigues, Caroline Mary Gurgel Dias Florêncio et al.The increased use of central venous catheters due to the severity of COVID-19 cases and the difficulty in implementing preventive Healthcare-Associated Infection measures contributed to worsening an already challenging scenario of bacterial resistance. Characterizing the impact of these significant health crises on the bacterial resistance profile is necessary to strengthen antimicrobial control protocols in an effort to decrease morbidity. Our … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 4 Sep 2024 · 5,033 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFactors Associated with Mortality Among Patients with Central Venous Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection in an Intensive Care UnitPriscilla Roberta Silva Rocha, Marcelo de Oliveira Maia, Gisele Brocco Magnan et al.Central venous catheterization is a common practice in the management of critically ill patients and is associated with various complications, such as Bloodstream Infections (BSI), which are major determinants of increased morbidity, mortality and healthcare expenses. Few studies have addressed factors that predict mortality in patients with this complication. The aim of this study was to investigate factors associated with … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 13 Feb 2013 · 7,618 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparison of Linear and Non-Linear Regression Models for Non-Invasive Blood Glucose MeasurementDorsaf Ghozzi, Yassine Manai, Khaled NouriThis paper deals with a new approach of non-invasive glucose monitoring based on near infrared spectroscopy. The proposed approach is coupled with a regression analysis in order to improve the predictive capacity of the designed device. Basic spectral data is a comparison that has been established between linear and non-linear machine learning regression algorithms. The experimental results show that feed … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 11 · 13 Nov 2019 · 7,864 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImpact of Multi-Enzyme Machine Cleaning, Multi-Enzyme Soaking, and Traditional Tap Water Cleaning on the Cleanliness of Blood-Contaminated Hemostatic ForcepsLi Kang, Qingmin Gao, Yi FengEffective cleaning of surgical instruments is critical for infection prevention in healthcare settings. This study compared the cleaning efficacy, efficiency, and resource consumption of three methods, multi-enzyme machine cleaning (Group S1), multi-enzyme soaking (Group S2), and traditional tap water cleaning (Group S3), on blood-contaminated hemostatic forceps. A total of 600 blood-contaminated hemostatic forceps collected from the disinfection supply room of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 24 Apr 2026 · 1,881 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleQuantitative Analysis of Hypothalamic Proline-Rich Peptide-1 in Blood Serum of Patients with Malignant TumorsNarine Tumasyan, Silva Abrahamyan, Nune Kocharyan et al.The proline-rich-peptides are a class of neurosecretory hypothalamic bioactive polypeptides derived from cattle and comprise the content of bovine posterior pituitary neurosecretory granules. These peptides are co-validated through a single precursor protein neurophysin-vasopressin-associated glycoprotein. Proline-Rich-Polypeptide-1 (PRP-1) is a 15-amino acid peptide with anti-neurodegenerative, immunoregulatory, hematopoietic, antimicrobial, and antitumor activity. The aim of this study, accordingly, is to elaborate an assay … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 27 Nov 2025 · 2,283 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Association of Blood Serum Atherogenicity with Risk Factors for Cardiovascular DiseaseTatiana Vladimirovna Kirichenko, Igor Alexandrovich Sobenin et al.Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) caused by atherosclerosis are the most frequent cause of mortality worldwide, so the identification of new biomarkers of atherosclerosis development is quite actual.
