Objective To study urinary tract complications in and patients with UTI had the highest mean catheterization volume now, and the highest increase in patients treated using long-term clean intermittent catheterization (CIC), and to evaluate the physical mean catheterization volume from 1989 to 1995. Bacteriuria was found in 61% of the urine samples, factors which might be implicated in these complications.with Escherichia coli the dominant species among women and Gram-positive cocci among men. Patients Patients and methods During 1995, 170 patients (84 men and 86 women, mean age 56.9 years) with a who did not use anti-infective agents had a 31% rate of sterile urine while the corresponding value among mean duration of use of CIC for 8.8 years were assessed for complications related to CIC. The same those using antibiotics was 54%. The frequency of catheterization was the only variable predictive of patients had participated in a thorough follow-up study during 1988-9 and were examined again using bacteriuria apart from the use of antibiotics. Conclusion This study confirms previous reports showquestionnaires and the analysis of urine samples.

“…aeruginosa is a leading cause of nosocomial infections and is responsible for 10 per cent of all hospital-acquired infections. 13,14 Infections caused by P. aeruginosa are sometimes severe and life-threatening, and are difficult to treat because of the limited susceptibility to antimicrobial agents and the high frequency of emergence of antibiotic resistance during therapy, 15,16 thus resulting in severe adverse outcomes. 17 β-lactams, aminoglycosides, and fluoroquinolones have been the mainstay for the treatment of P. aeruginosa infections.…”

Outcome of orthotopic liver transplantation in autoimmune hepatitis according to subtypes

et al. 2002

The relevance of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) classification for clinical purposes is controversial. We analyzed the outcome after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) of nine type I and seven type I1 AIH patients. Type I1 patients had a significantly higher incidence of cirrhosis at the time of diagnosis, more resistance to steroid therapy, and a higher Child-Pugh score at the time of OLT. OLT was performed in emergency in three type I1 patients and electively in all type I patients. Four type I1 and one type I patients died in the postoperative period. There was no difference regarding the incidence of post-OLT infection and rejection between the two types. No recurrence of AIH was observed. The 6-year actuarial survival rates for type I and type I1 patients were 76% and 43%, respectively. Type I1 AIH patients who have a poor response to medical therapy should be considered for OLT with a shortened delay.
