Blood stream infections after allogeneic stem cell transplantation: a single‐center experience with the use of levofloxacin prophylaxis. Transpl Infect Dis 2011. All rights reserved
Abstract: Blood stream infections (BSIs) remain one of the major causes of morbidity...
Zygomycosis is an emerging fungal infection that is associated with high mortality in hematological patients and stem cell transplantation (SCT) recipients. Radiology—computed tomography (CT) imaging in particular—facilitates the detection of lung involvement at an early stage of the infection. The reversed halo sign (RHS) has previously been reported in cryptogenetic organizing pneumonia and, more...
In this paper we study the problem of representing different forms of imperfect temporal knowledge. Imperfection in knowledge can be present in the forms of coarse knowledge about temporal events or even in the form of incomplete, imprecise, vague or uncertain temporal information. The two orthogonal notions of coarseness and fuzziness seem to be quite adequate to manage these two kinds of temporal...
Starting from the complexity classification of qualitative algebra recently proposed by Jonsson and Krokhin, we study the tractable fragments of fuzzy qualitative algebra QAfuz, an integrated framework able to deal with qualitative temporal constraints between points and intervals affected by vagueness and uncertainty. To do this we generalize the results obtained for the classical case exploiting...
This paper describes a framework for temporal reasoning that allows managing a restricted form of disjunctive temporal constraints without making the modelled problems intractable as in the case of general DTPs. This is obtained by assigning classes to the constraints and by allowing only one constraint per class, in order to build a collection of independent STPs that can share sub-problems and therefore...
Early diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is important as prompt treatment with antifungal drugs may increase patient survival. Our study investigated the efficiency of routine testing of the Aspergillus galactomannan antigen (AGA) test in combination with chest CT scans for IPA diagnosis. From February 2002 to June 2004, 74 hemato-oncologic patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell...
