    To develop the 'Stronger Towns Index': a deprivation index that took into account characteristics of areas encompassing towns that may be eligible for redevelopment funding and explore how this index was associated with self-rated health and migration within England between 2001 and 2011.. There were areas in the lowest deciles of Town Strength who did not receive funding. After multiple adjustment, LS members living in areas with higher deciles were significantly more likely (7% to 38%) to report good health than those in the lowest decile in 2001. Remaining in the same decile between 2001 and 2011 was associated with 7% lower odds of good self-rated health in 2011.. It is important to consider health in towns when allocating funding. Areas in the Midlands may have missed out on funding which might help mitigate poor health.. Ferritin levels <30µg/L were associated with unexplained infertility and might be screened in the future. Further studies with a focus on iron deficiency and iron treatment on women with unexplained infertility are warranted.. This EGM provides a valuable resource for researchers, policy-makers and the public to access the available evidence on the determinants of various COVID-19 health-related behaviours. The map can also be used to help guide research commissioning, by evidence synthesis teams and evidence intermediaries to inform policy during the ongoing pandemic and potential future outbreaks of COVID-19 or other respiratory infections. Evidence included in the map will be explored further through a series of systematic reviews examining the strength of the associations between malleable determinants and the uptake and maintenance of individual protective behaviours.. Patients with polymicrobial bloodstream infections are typically critically ill and harbor multidrug-resistant bacteria. Thus, to minimize mortality rate in critically ill patients, changes in infectious flora should be monitored, antibiotics selected reasonably, and invasive procedures reduced.. Altogether, these findings clearly revealed the great potential of the in vitro biological activity of linseed extract as a safe source for combatting multidrug-resistant. In this work, the capture of carbon dioxide using a dense hollow fiber membrane was studied experimentally and theoretically. The factors affecting the flux and recovery of carbon dioxide were studied using a lab-scale system. Experiments were conducted using a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide to simulate natural gas. The effect of changing the CO. Persistent gender and racial disparities in high-impact medical and critical care journals underscore the need to revise policies and strategies to encourage greater diversity in critical care research.. Thirty evaluable patients were enrolled. Median age was 60.5 years. Median follow-up for all patients was 17 months. Ten patients (33%) experienced grade ≥ 3 treatment-related adverse events, the most common being neutropenia and diarrhea; 50% required ≥ 1 dose reduction. The disease control rate was 90% (progressive disease: 10%, partial response: 23%, stable disease: 67%). There was zero treatment-related mortality. Twenty-two patients (73%, 90% CI 57-86; p = 0.008) completed all chemotherapy and surgery. Two patients (9%) who successfully underwent resection had minor postoperative complications. Median length of hospital stay was 4 days. Median RFS was 7.1 months. Median OS for the entire cohort was 24 months and was not reached in patients who underwent surgical resection.. Neoadjuvant treatment with gemcitabine, cisplatin, and nab-paclitaxel is feasible and safe prior to resection of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and does not adversely impact perioperative outcomes.

[A case of toxic shock syndrome (TSS) induced by methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) presenting as acute renal failure with disseminated intravascular coagulation].
    Nihon Jinzo Gakkai shi, 1996, Volume: 38, Issue:1

    A case of a 73-year-old woman with acute renal failure due to toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is reported. The patient was admitted to our hospital with the complaints of high fever, disturbance of consciousness and shock. Laboratory findings on admission were; CRP 25.11 mg/dl, WBC 35000/ microl, Plt 1.6 x 10(4)/ microl, GOT 155 U/l, GPT 65 U/l, CPK 4202 U/l (CPK-MM 96%), BUN 123 mg/dl and SCr 7.0 mg/dl. Because of anuria, hemodialysis was performed. This patient was treated with dopamine, methyl prednisolone (MP), frozen fresh plasma, AT III, antibiotics, and platelet transfusion. The bacterial cultures of blood and cerebrospinal fluid were negative, but MRSA was isolated subsequently from the pharynx and vagina. We investigated the production of toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1) and staphylococcal enterotoxins (SE). The isolated MRSA produced TSST-1, SEB and SEC. Accordingly, we made the diagnosis of TSS. After improvement of acute renal failure and the patient's general condition, MRSA persisted and TSST-1 was still found in the patient's blood. Finally we eradicated the MRSA and TSST-1 after administration of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CPFX) and Rifampicin (RFP).

Rifampicin induced shock during re-exposure for treatment of latent tuberculosis.
    BMJ case reports, 2020, Feb-02, Volume: 13, Issue:1

    We present a case of a young Asian female with rheumatoid arthritis who received latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) treatment prior to treatment with a biologic agent, and developed shock with resistant hypotension on re-exposure to rifampicin. We discuss the epidemiology, pathophysiology and management of rifampicin induced shock, concluding that clinicians should be aware of this rare, but potential adverse effect, and be aware that adverse reactions to rifampicin are more frequent during re-exposure or longer dosing interval regimes. The evidence for desensitisation following such a reaction is lacking and this approach is not currently recommended. We would suggest close collaboration between specialties prescribing immunosuppression and the tuberculosis team when LTBI treatment is required after a reaction, with patient involvement to discuss the risks and benefits of treatment options.

Factors predictive of treatment failure in staphylococcal prosthetic vascular graft infections: a prospective observational cohort study: impact of rifampin.
    BMC infectious diseases, 2014, Apr-28, Volume: 14

    There exists considerable debate concerning management of prosthetic vascular graft infection (PVGI), especially in terms of antimicrobial treatment. This report studies factors associated with treatment failure in a cohort of patients with staphylococcal PVGI, along with the impact of rifampin (RIF).. All data on patients with PVGI between 2006 and 2010 were reviewed. Cure was defined as the absence of evidence of infection during the entire post-treatment follow-up for a minimum of one year. Failure was defined as any other outcome.. 84 patients (72 M/12 F, median age 64.5 ± 11 y) with diabetes mellitus (n = 25), obesity (n = 48), coronary artery disease (n = 48), renal failure (n = 24) or COPD (n = 22) were treated for PVGI (median follow-up was 470 ± 469 d). PVGI was primarily intracavitary (n = 47). Staphylococcus aureus (n = 65; including 17 methicillin-resistant S. aureus) and coagulase-negative Staphylocococcus (n = 22) were identified. Surgical treatment was performed in 71 patients. In univariate analysis, significant risk factors associated with failure were renal failure (p = 0.04), aortic aneurysm (p = 0.03), fever (p = 0.009), aneurysm disruption (p = 0.02), septic shock in the peri-operative period (p = 0.005) and antibiotic treatment containing RIF (p = 0.03). In multivariate analysis, 2 variables were independently associated with failure:septic shock [OR 4.98: CI 95% 1.45-16.99; p=0.01] and antibiotic containing rifampin [OR: 0.32: CI95% 0.10-0.96; p=0.04].. Results of the present study suggest that fever, septic shock and non-use of antibiotic treatment containing RIF are associated with poor outcome.

Recurrent menstrual toxic shock syndrome despite discontinuation of tampon use: is menstrual toxic shock syndrome really caused by tampons?
    The Australasian journal of dermatology, 2013, Volume: 54, Issue:4

    Menstrual toxic shock syndrome (MTSS) is a rare and potentially life-threatening illness. We present a case of recurrent MTSS initially associated with tampon use that continued to recur when tampons were discontinued, which was successfully treated with rifampicin and clindamycin.

Pretreatment of mice with rifampicin prolongs survival of endotoxic shock by modulating the levels of inflammatory cytokines.
    Immunopharmacology and immunotoxicology, 2008, Volume: 30, Issue:3

    To investigate the effects of rifampicin in a mouse model of endotoxin shock, mice were pretreated with rifampicin for at different times before and after challenging with a lethal dose of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). We found that rifampicin had a significant preventive effect and reduced the mortality of mice at early stages. To further understand the mechanism, plasma cytokine levels were examined. Mice treated with LPS alone showed markedly increased plasma levels of TNF, IL-1beta, IL-6, and IL-10, while mice pretreated with rifampicin showed significantly lower plasma levels of these cytokines compared to the LPS alone. Our results suggest that rifampicin has a beneficial effect on septic shock caused by LPS through modulation of cytokines. This suggests that rifampicin could be a candidate for treatment of septicemia caused by gram-negative bacterial infection.

Efficacy of colistin/rifampin combination in experimental rat models of sepsis due to a multiresistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain.
    Critical care medicine, 2007, Volume: 35, Issue:7

    To investigate the efficacy of rifampin and colistin in three experimental rat models of Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis.. Prospective, randomized, controlled animal study.. Research laboratory in a university hospital.. Adult male Wistar rats.. Adult male Wistar rats were given a) an intraperitoneal injection of 1 mg of P. aeruginosa 10 lipopolysaccharide; b) 2 x 10(10) colony-forming units of P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853; and c) 2 x 10(10) colony-forming units of one clinically multiresistant strain of P. aeruginosa. For each model, all animals were randomized to receive intravenously isotonic sodium chloride solution, 10 mg/kg rifampin, 1 mg/kg colistin, and 10 mg/kg rifampin plus 1 mg/kg colistin.. Lethality, bacterial growth in blood and peritoneum, and endotoxin and tumor necrosis factor-alpha concentrations in plasma were measured. Colistin exerted a strong antimicrobial activity and achieved a significant reduction of plasma endotoxin and tumor necrosis factor-alpha concentration compared with control and rifampin-treated groups. Rifampin exhibited no antimicrobial activity with no substantial impact on endotoxin and tumor necrosis factor-alpha plasma concentrations. The combination of colistin and rifampin resulted in a significant reduction in bacterial count compared with colistin monotherapy, whereas no significant difference was found in positive hem cultures and mortality rates between the two groups.. Colistin and rifampin might have a role in the therapy of multiresistant P. aeruginosa infection.

Intraventricular rifampicin in severe tuberculous meningo-encephalitis.
    The European respiratory journal, 1992, Volume: 5, Issue:7

    We present a patient acutely ill from severe tuberculous meningo-encephalitis, in whom acute hepatic and renal failure, due to intercurrent septic shock, precluded the administration of full systemic dosage of antituberculous drugs. Daily direct intraventricular administration of 5 mg rifampicin, via a subcutaneous Ommaya reservoir connected to a catheter placed in the right lateral cerebral ventricle, resulted in rapid improvement without neurological sequelae. Intraventricular rifampicin administration for 50 consecutive days was well-tolerated without local or systemic side-effects. In well-selected patients with severe tuberculous meningo-encephalitis, intraventricular rifampicin may safely and highly effectively be added to systemic antituberculous therapy.
