Immunomodulatory effect of macrolides: At what cost?
We present the case of a 60-year old female patient, with a 10 year history of non-CF bronchiectasis and use of macrolides as maintenance immunomodulatory treatment, who was diagnosed with macrolide-resistant Mycobacterium avium complex lung disease. Macrolides' immunomodulatory effect is appealing for non- CF bronchiectasis patients, hiding a high risk for resistance emergence.
متن کاملImmunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties of macrolides
Macrolides are a group of antibiotics whose activity is ascribable to the presence of the macrolide ring, a large macrocyclic lactone ring, to which one or more deoxy sugars, usually cladinose and desosamine, may be attached. The most commonly used macrolides have 14 (e.g. erythromycin, clarithromycin, roxithromycin) or 15 (e.g. azithromycin) atoms attached to their macrocyclic ring and therefo...
متن کاملGME: at what cost?
Current computing methods impede determining the real cost of graduate medical education. However, a more accurate estimate could be obtained if policy makers would allow for the application of basic cost-accounting principles, including consideration of department-level costs, unbundling of joint costs, and other factors.
متن کاملImmunomodulatory therapies for sepsis: unexpected effects with macrolides.
Despite intensive efforts to increase our knowledge of the inflammatory pathways involved in the pathogenesis of sepsis, several clinical trials of agents aimed at modulating the immune response of the host, such as anti-endotoxin antibodies, anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) antibodies and soluble TNF receptors, have failed to disclose any definite clinical benefit. The same applies to the adm...
متن کاملScalability! But at what COST?
We offer a new metric for big data platforms, COST, or the Configuration that Outperforms a Single Thread. The COST of a given platform for a given problem is the hardware configuration required before the platform outperforms a competent single-threaded implementation. COST weighs a system’s scalability against the overheads introduced by the system, and indicates the actual performance gains ...
