Is the Infection Rate in Primary THA Increased After Steroid Injection? KU Leuven
Injection of the hip is performed for diagnostic and therapeutic reasons. Articular cartilage deterioration and increased risk of prosthetic infection have been reported with steroid injections. However, the literature contains contradictory reports on an increased risk of infection after a subsequent THA.
Infection control in the management of highly pathogenic infectious diseases: consensus of the European Network of Infectious Disease Universiteit Gent
The European Network for Infectious Diseases (EUNID) is a network of clinicians, public health epidemiologists, microbiologists, infection control, and critical-care doctors from the European member states, who are experienced in the management of patients with highly infectious diseases. We aim to develop a consensus recommendation for infection control during clinical management and invasive procedures in such patients. After an extensive ...
Association of HIV infection with anal and penile low-risk human papillomavirus infections among men who have sex with men in Amsterdam: the HIV & HPV in MSM study Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
BACKGROUND: This study among men who have sex with men (MSM) aimed to (1) assess prevalence of anogenital low-risk human papillomavirus (lrHPV) infections, (2) evaluate associations with HIV infection, and (3) investigate lrHPV concordance.
METHODS: In 2010 to 2011, MSM 18 years or older were recruited in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and provided anal and penile self-swabs (HIV & HPV in MSM study). Using the HPV ...
Estimating Time of Infection Using Prior Serological and Individual Information Can Greatly Improve Incidence Estimation of Human and Wildlife Infections Universiteit Hasselt Universiteit Antwerpen
Diseases of humans and wildlife are typically tracked and studied through incidence, the number of new infections per time unit. Estimating incidence is not without difficulties, as asymptomatic infections, low sampling intervals and low sample sizes can introduce large estimation errors. After infection, biomarkers such as antibodies or pathogens often change predictably over time, and this temporal pattern can contain information about the ...
A multidisciplinary infection control bundle to reduce the number of spinal cord stimulator infections Universiteit Antwerpen
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of a quality improvement project that resulted in an infection control bundle to reduce the number of spinal cord stimulator (SCS) infections. Materials and MethodsThe study was performed in a single center for neuromodulation from January 1, 2014, through May31, 2016.
