Bacteriome interactions in pediatric atopic dermatitis in a rural and urban South African cohort
… cases (regardless of location) and anterior nares among urban cases than the control group. The carriage of S. capitis on nonlesional skin and anterior nares was positively associated with more severe disease in both rural and urban cases. 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing analysis revealed that …

The Presence of Staphylococcus Aureus on Mothers Admitted to Selected Maternity Unit
… 31, 1960. The specimens were obtained from the nares and external vulva of all mothers upon admission to the maternity unit, and from the nares and head of their infants after delivery. Of the one hundred and forty mothers participating, specimens were also obtained from the external vulva of …

THE EFFECT OF INDOOR TOTAL SUSPENDED PARTICLES (TSP) ON THE HUMAN UPPER RESPIRATORY SYSTEM: FROM THE MICROBIOME TO HERV METHYLATION
… The biological samples included anterior nares and nasopharynx swabs to evaluate the upper respiratory microbiome, and buccal brushes to measure the HERV methylation. The first part of the project analyzed the environmental samples collected in the two seasons. The indoor and outdoor TSP …

Host and Bacterial Determinants of Staphylococcus aureus Nasal Colonization in Humans
… opportunistic pathogen colonizing the anterior nares in approximately 30% of the human population, causes severe hospital-associated and community-acquired infections. SA nasal carriage plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of staphylococcal infections and SA eradication from the nares has …

A Comparative Analysis of Methods for Baseline Drift Removal in Preterm Infant Respiration Signals
… within the sensor and in relation to the infant nares. This work compares four methods for baseline drift removal using the same event detection algorithm. The methods compared were a linear spline subtraction, a cubic spline subtraction, a neural network baseline approximation, and a double …

Defining feline brachycephaly and benefits of ala vestibuloplasty in the brachycephalic cat
… Results: Preoperatively, all cats had stenotic nares, a prolonged normalized pulmonary artery transit time (nPTT), and a hyperattenuating pulmonary pattern. No complications occurred following surgery, and all cats improved in owner assessment of respiratory and activity parameters. Significant …

High-throughput sequencing to understand pathogen carriage and transmission
… that alpha and beta diversity of the anterior nares significantly differs by carriage status. I demonstrate that persistent carriage in the anterior nares is negatively associated with multiple species, compared with other carriage states. These findings redefine intermittent carriage, which …

Surgical Site Infection Reduction Through Nasal Decolonization Prior to Surgery
… positive patients with mupirocin ointment to nares BID and chlorhexidine showers for five days prior to surgery. Adherence to the protocol was problematic and SSI rates increased in these populations. New evidence-based practice recommendations published in 2105 described a 50% reduction of …

Prevalence and Characterization of Staphylococcus Species, Including MRSA, in the Home Environment
… organisms commonly colonize the skin and nasal nares of healthy individuals, as well as livestock and other animals. There is a growing body of evidence that the environment (surfaces) plays an important role in the transmission of pathogens in the community. MRSA can be spread from contaminated …

Patterns and Predictors of HIV, Sexually Transmitted Infections, and Staphylococcus Aureus Co-Infection among New York State Prison Inmates
… Cultures were obtained from the anterior nares and oropharynx of a convenience sample of male (n = 383) and female (n = 373) prisoners in each facility. Descriptive and comparative statistics were used to accomplish the study aims. Overall S. aureus colonization rate was 53.8%. Among men, …

A Comparative Effectiveness Study of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Related Skin Breakdown when using Different Nasal Interfaces in the Extremely Low Birth Weight (ELBW) Neonate
… current CPAP devices place constant pressure on nares, nasal septum and forehead, increasing injury risk. Through the framework of comparative effectiveness research an examination of nasal interfaces currently used during neonatal CPAP was conducted in an effort to provide scientifically …

The role of superantigens during Staphylococcus aureus nasal colonization and infection
… aureus are able to successfully colonize human nares in addition to causing infections, the bacterial strains were assessed in a model of nasal colonization as well as a model of bacteremia. Compared to wild-type S. aureus COL and Newman, the SAg-deletion mutants COL Δseb and Newman Δsea were …

Radiocarbon (Δ14C) and Stable Carbon (δ13C) Isotopic Composition of Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC) in Baffin Bay
… estimated assuming surface brine rejection in Nares Strait is the main source of BBDW. Another plausible source of BBDW is the entrainment of dense north Atlantic Water over Davis Strait mixed with brine enriched surface water. A comparison of DICanth and Δ14Cbomb corrected deep DIC Δ14C values …

Asignación y diagramabilidad de sistemas distribuidos de tiempo real duro
… Sobre la base de estos resultados prelimi-nares obtenidos, se refinaron los métodos heurísticos incorpo-rando parámetros sintonizables que guían el proceso de asig-nación para obtener distintos tipos de soluciones (e.g. con red de comunicación interprocesadores más descargada). El diseño de …
