Although many frailty scales exist, a single scale has not been agreed upon to define frailty. Herein, we determined whether the Canadian Study on Health and Aging Clinical Frailty Scale (CSHA CFS) can predict the risk of elderly patients for hospital mortality and discharge to skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) following traumatic injury.Charts from trauma patients aged ≥65 y admitted from December...
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a model pathogen with which to advance the notion that microbial endocrinology plays a central role in the pathogenesis of bacteria and other microbes. P. aeruginosa is a gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that can infect a variety of host species, including Arabidopsis, Drosophila, Caenorhabditis elegans, rodents, and man. Like many opportunistic pathogens, virulence...
Secondary peritonitis continues to carry a high mortality rate despite the aggressive use of imaging, drainage, and antibiotics. Although host factors and microbial burden contribute to the outcome of peritonitis, we propose a role for bacterial virulence as a determinant of outcome from peritonitis. Bacterial virulence is an inducible trait that is activated in response to specific local “cues” that...
