The Commonly Encountered Bacterial Agents and their Antibiotic Sensitivity in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units of Cairo University Children Hospitals: An Observational Study by Dina Khedr, Peter Samaan, Abdulrahman Abdulrazek, Noha Adel Yassin

“…The frequency of MRSA and MDR Klebsiella pneumoniae in the blood cultures was higher among those who died than those who survived (p= 0.03) and (p= 0.04) respectively. Logistic regression showed that bulging fontanel, feeding intolerance, temperature instability, long duration of admission, and high CRP were associated with high mortality among the studied cases (odd ratio > 1 (p= 0.0001), (p=0.007), (p=0.03), (p=0.001) and (p=0.006) respectively, while normal blood pressure, blood transfusion, appropriate birth weight, and normal serum albumin were protective variables (odd ratio < 1) (p= 0.008), (p=0.03), (p=0.001) and (p=0.001) respectively. …”

Positive Associations between Adipocyte Fatty Acid-Binding Protein Level and Central Arterial Stiffness in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients by Cheng-Hao Sung, Bang-Gee Hsu, Jen-Pi Tasi, Chih-Hsien Wang, Chiu-Huang Kuo

“…Compared with the patients in the low arterial stiffness group, the high arterial stiffness group was older (P = 0.002) and had a longer PD vintage (P = 0.011), higher diastolic blood pressure (DBP, P = 0.036), higher fasting glucose levels (P = 0.012), higher serum C reactive protein levels (P = 0.001), and higher serum A-FABP levels (P < 0.001). A multivariate logistic regression analysis of the factors significantly associated with central arterial stiffness revealed that A-FABP (odds ratio (OR): 1.165, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.056–1.284, P = 0.002), age (OR: 1.423, 95% CI: 1.153–1.757, P = 0.001), PD vintage (OR: 1.049, 95% CI: 1.015–1.085, P = 0.005), and DBP (OR: 1.152, 95% CI: 1.033–1.285, P = 0.011) were independent predictors of central arterial stiffness in PD patients. …”
