Faecal transplants.
Recurrent Clostridium difficile infection is a severe and often fatal condition, affecting up to 3000 people in the United Kingdom and 100 000 in the United States, where it kills an estimated 14 000 a year.About a quarter of patients experience a recurrence after an initial mild infection because treatment with antibiotics destroys the diversity of the normal gut microbes and allows C difficil...
متن کاملEstimating the risks of faecal transplants.
Recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (RCDI) is a severe and often fatal condition, killing an estimated 14,000 Americans per year. Treatment with faecal microbial transplantation (FMT) has been shown to be vastly superior to traditional antibiotic treatments, with success rates of around 90%. In studies performed so far, the stool (or its cryopreserved microbial content) of a healthy donor...
متن کاملDeep Enteroscopy: Which Technique Will Survive?
The advent of deep enteroscopy (DE) has dramatically changed diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to small bowel diseases. Unlike capsule endoscopy, which is unable to obtain biopsies or treat a disease, DE techniques have diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities. Double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) was introduced in 2001, and single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) and spiral enteroscopy (SE) were subse...
متن کاملWhich neurons survive the glutamate storm?
TRAUMATIC SOUND EXPOSURE CAUSES sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) by destroying or damaging the neural elements of the cochlea (Young 2011). Until recently, the focus of SNHL research was on the hair cells (HCs), the transducer cells in the cochlea (Fig. 1). Severe acoustic trauma destroys HCs, leading to loss of function in damaged regions (Engström et al. 1966). Less severe trauma can cause s...
متن کاملBacterial Infection in Bone Marrow Transplants
Bacteria remain an important cause of infection in bone marrow transplants. To examine shifts in the etiology and susceptibility of bacterial isolates from transplants, we reviewed the incidence and susceptibility of blood isolates during a 7-year period. The infection rate fell dramatically during this time. Gram-positive organisms were isolated more often than gram-negative organisms, but the...
