TNF-α inhibitor therapy and prosthetic aortic valve endocarditis: a case report
Others Infectious Diseases 1 min.
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors and other biologics used for autoimmune diseases are associated with low-grade immunosuppression. Treatment with these and the presence of prosthetic mechanical cardiac valves both increase the risk of infective endocarditis (IE). However, evidence...
Serum proteomes and their prognostic values in sepsis patients admitted to a medical intensive care unit: a single-center study using SWATH-MS proteomics
Others Infectious Diseases 5 min.
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition characterized by organ dysfunction resulting from a dysregulated host response to infection [1]. Approximately one-third of critical illness patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) are diagnosed with sepsis [2]. Although advances in critical care management...
