ACUTE LUNG INJURY AFTER PLATELET TRANSFUSION IN A PATIENT WITH DENGUE FEVER


Clinical Isolates of Acinetobacter spp. Are Highly Serum Resistant Despite Efficient Recognition by the Complement System

Gram-negative bacteria from the genus Acinetobacter are responsible for life-threating hospital-related infections such as pneumonia, septicemia, and meningitis, especially in immunocompromised patients.Worryingly, Acinetobacter have become multi- and extensively drug resistant (MDR/XDR) over the last few decades.The complement system is King Panel

Comparing large-scale computational approaches to epidemic modeling: Agent-based versus structured metapopulation models

Abstract Background In recent years large-scale computational models for the realistic simulation of epidemic outbreaks have been used with increased frequency.Methodologies adapt to the scale of interest and range from very detailed agent-based models to spatially-structured metapopulation models.One major issue thus concerns to what extent the ge
