Is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus colonization associated with higher rate of admission to pediatric intensive care unit?
We conclude that MRSA colonization does not increase the need of care in PICU upon admission to hospital from emergency department. However, these preliminary results need to be confirmed through larger, multicenter, and multicountry data analysis.
In addition to local toxic effects, GDP cause systemic toxicity. Here we showed that, in SNX rats, administration of GDP increased cardiovascular damage. In particular, we found increased levels of AGE, RAGE, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Whether these findings are of clinical relevance has to be further investigated.
