Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleDiagnostic Value of Serum and Cerebrospinal Fluid Procalcitonin in Differentiation Bacterial from Aseptic MeningitisZhinous Bayat Makoo, Hamid Reza Soltani, Akbar Hasani et al.Problem statement: Acute bacterial meningitis is one of the most important causes of medical emergency diseases, which can cause high mortality and morbidity rates. Early antibiotic therapy is life saving in bacterial meningitis. One of the most common etiologies of acute meningitis is viral. Differentiation between bacterial and Aseptic meningitis is mandatory, which leads to avoid useless administration of antibiotics. … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 12,084 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleCerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Ferritin for Differentiation of Aseptic and Bacterial Meningitis in AdultsZhinous Bayat Makoo, Nagmeh Ahadi, Akbar Hasani et al.Problem statement: Bacterial meningitis is one of the most important causes of mortality and morbidity. Rapid diagnosis of bacterial cause is very important and critical, because early antibiotic therapy prevents complications; different tests have been developed for rapid diagnosis of bacterial meningitis. One of them is CSF ferritin, which is evaluated in this study. Approach: During cross sectional study from … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTrends in the Causes of Meningitis/Encephalitis Analyzed Using the BioFire FilmArray PanelYoung Jun Hong, Bo Kyeung Jung, Jae Kyung KimCerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) infections can be caused by various pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Therefore, accurate and timely detection of infectious agents is critical for the effective treatment of CSF infections. The FilmArray Meningitis/Encephalitis (M/E) panel is a potential complementary diagnostic tool for detecting CSF pathogens. The aim of this study was to identify trends in the causes of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 25 Jul 2024 · 4,887 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractFree-Living Amoebae and Central Nervous System Infection: Report of Seven CasesAlcalá Martínez Enrique, Gaona Flores Verónica A., Paz Ayar Nibardo, González Guerra EduardoThe Free-Living Amoeba (FLA) is an opportunistic protozoan with a cosmopolitan distribution that can cause Central Nervous System (CNS) infection. It develops in relatively stagnant waters such as swimming pools, lagoons and ponds but only species belonging to the genera Hartmannella, Naegleria, Acanthamoeba and Balamuthia have been found in humans. The resulting pathology is highly lethal due to the lack … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 14 Dec 2019 · 7,063 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEtiology of Meningitis from Patients Suspected of Meningitis Attending Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu, NepalPinky Pandey, Bharat Jha, Anima ShresthaMeningitis is an inflammatory infection of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, which occurs either as a primary disease or secondarily to disease in some other parts of the body. Its most frequent causes are Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae. The epidemiological trend of acute meningitis varies with time and geography. Information on the relative frequency … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 14 Jul 2015 · 9,146 accessesView PDFCite
HypothesisOpen accessIn the abstractIncreased Tissue Pressure Induces Demyelinated Lesions and Necroses in the BrainHelmut Barz, Ulrich Barz, Almut SchreiberA general brain edema increases the size of the brain tissue and stretches the elastic neuronal and glial fibers. Myelinated fibers are more elastic than unmyelinated fibers. The stretching of the neuronal fibers leads particular in regions of the white matter or areas surrounded by myelinated fiber tracts to an increased tissue pressure. This physical principle can be the reason … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2015 · 7,431 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHIV-1 Infection and Central Monoamine NeurotransmittersAdarsh M. Kumar, J. B. Fernandez, Irina Borodowsky et al.Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) enters the central nervous system (CNS) shortly after infection and gets localized in different brain regions, leading to various types of neuropathological problems. It has been hypothesized that HIV-1 infection mediated neuropathogenesis may also adversely affect the activity of the central monoamine neurotransmitters systems, such as dopamine (DA), and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin), resulting in … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,493 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNa,K-ATPase α Subunit-like Immunoreactive Proteins in Human Body FluidsJeng-Hsiung F. PengNa,K-ATPase was recently considered a target for breast cancer treatment since its potent inhibitors ouabain and related digitalis compounds that were reported circulating in body fluids before, were found to possess potent anti-breast cancer activity. Based on this finding, it is hypothesized that Na,K-ATPase derivatives could be circulating in the body and potential candidate biomarkers for early disease detection. Western … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,893 accessesView PDFCite
