Potential Cost-effectiveness of Early Identification of Hospital-acquired Infection in Critically Ill Patients.
(Ann Am Thorac Soc, 2016-03)
RATIONALE: Limitations in methods for the rapid diagnosis of hospital-acquired infections
often delay initiation of effective antimicrobial therapy. New diagnostic approaches
offer potential clinical and cost-related improvements ...
Pilot study of myocardial ischemia-induced metabolomic changes in emergency department patients undergoing stress testing.
(PloS one, 2019-01)
BACKGROUND:The heart is a metabolically active organ, and plasma acylcarnitines are
associated with long-term risk for myocardial infarction. We hypothesized that myocardial
ischemia from cardiac stress testing will produce ...
Host gene expression classifiers diagnose acute respiratory illness etiology.
(Sci Transl Med, 2016-01-20)
Acute respiratory infections caused by bacterial or viral pathogens are among the
most common reasons for seeking medical care. Despite improvements in pathogen-based
diagnostics, most patients receive inappropriate antibiotics. ...
Gene expression-based classifiers identify Staphylococcus aureus infection in mice and humans.
(PLoS One, 2013)
Staphylococcus aureus causes a spectrum of human infection. Diagnostic delays and
uncertainty lead to treatment delays and inappropriate antibiotic use. A growing literature
suggests the host's inflammatory response to the ...
Association of a peripheral blood metabolic profile with coronary artery disease and risk of subsequent cardiovascular events.
(Circ Cardiovasc Genet, 2010-04)
BACKGROUND: Molecular tools may provide insight into cardiovascular risk. We assessed
whether metabolites discriminate coronary artery disease (CAD) and predict risk of
cardiovascular events. METHODS AND RESULTS: We performed ...
