    Abstract Objectives: The historical treatment of choice for Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infection is trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and this is primarily based on preclinical studies. The objective of this study was to examine the clinical outcomes of patients receiving monotherapy with different agents.
    Methods: This was a retrospective study of adult patients receiving monotherapy for S. maltophilia infection with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX), a fluoroquinolone, or minocycline from 2010 to 2016. The primary outcome was clinical failure, a composite of recurrence, alteration of therapy due to adverse reaction or concern for clinical failure, or 30-day in-hospital mortality. The secondary outcome was 30-day in-hospital mortality. To account for treatment selection bias, multivariate regression and propensity score weighting were conducted.
    Results: 284 patients were included (217 received TMP/SMX, 28 received a fluoroquinolone, and 39 received minocycline). The TMP/SMX and minocycline groups appeared to include similar patients whereas the fluoroquinolone group appeared to represent a slightly less severely ill population. Clinical failure was similar between groups (36%, 29%, and 31% in the TMP/SMX, fluoroquinolone, and minocycline groups, respectively, P=0.69) as was 30-day mortality (15%, 7%, and 5% in the TMP/SMX, fluoroquinolone, and minocycline groups, respectively, P=0.16). After controlling for confounding factors, receipt of minocycline (adjusted odds ratio [OR]=0.2 [0.1-0.7]) but not a fluoroquinolone (adjusted OR=0.3 [0.1 to 2.1]) was associated with lower mortality compared with TMP/SMX. This association persisted after propensity score weighting.
    Conclusions: Outcomes were similar or better with alternatives to TMP/SMX monotherapy, which indicates this may not be the treatment of choice for infections caused by S. maltophilia.

    Abstract Background: National consensus guidelines outline recommendations for best practices in treating patients with candidemia. This study evaluated the impact of receiving care adherent to the best practice recommendations on clinical outcomes in patients with candidemia.
    Methods: This retrospective, multicenter study included patients with candidemia from 2010 to 2015 at 9 hospitals. The primary outcome was the composite of 30-day in-hospital mortality and 90-day candidemia recurrence. Outcomes were compared between those receiving and not receiving care adherent to the guideline recommendations. Inverse probability weights with regression adjustment were utilized to determine the average treatment effect of adherent care on the composite outcome.
    Results: 295 patients were included with 14.2% meeting criteria for the composite outcome (11.9% mortality and 2.4% recurrence). The average treatment effect of adherent care was not significant (
    Conclusions: Central venous catheter removal and appropriate initial antifungal treatment were associated with a lower incidence of the composite of mortality and recurrence. Additional studies are needed to determine the optimal duration of therapy following candidemia clearance.

    Abstract Purpose: The accuracy of a bedside scoring system, ATLAS, for predicting clinical cure and recurrence of Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs) was evaluated.
    Methods: A single-center retrospective medical record review was performed for symptomatic adult patients with stool assay-diagnosed CDI treated with metronidazole or vancomycin or both. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the potential association of the ATLAS score and other potential factors on achieving cure and 90-day CDI recurrence. ATLAS scores were calculated, and risk factors for severe CDI, severe-complicated CDI, decreased cure rates, and recurrence were recorded.
    Results: Data from 245 adult patients were assessed. ATLAS scores showed a significant inverse association with the cure rate (p = 0.009) but not with the 90-day recurrence rate (p = 0.901). The only ATLAS component to be independently associated (inversely) with cure was the concomitant use of antibiotics (p = 0.022). Metronidazole was initiated in 97% of patients, with 32% switching to oral vancomycin. Longer courses of vancomycin were associated with a higher cure rate (p = 0.0009) but not with recurrence (p = 0.170). Complicated cases were less likely to be cured (p = 0.027) and more likely to recur within 90 days (p = 0.002). Antibiotics continued after CDI treatment was associated with recurrence (p = 0.055).
    Conclusion: A low ATLAS score was found to correlate with higher cure rates in patients with CDI receiving metronidazole, oral vancomycin, or both. However, the score could not predict CDI recurrence.

    Abstract Background & aims: Increased intestinal permeability is seen in a variety of inflammatory conditions such as enteric infections and inflammatory bowel disease. Because barrier function can provide a key biomarker of disease severity, it often is assayed in animal models. A common methodology involves gavaging mice with fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated dextran (FITC-D), followed by cardiac puncture to assay plasma fluorescence on a spectrophotometer. Although the FITC-D method is relatively simple, its sensitivity is limited and enables only a single measurement because the test requires killing the subject. Herein, we describe a novel flow cytometry-based method of intestinal permeability measurement based on detection of orally gavaged ovalbumin (OVA) that leaks out of the gut. Our approach uses minute blood volumes collected from the tail vein, permitting repeated testing of the same subject at multiple time points. By comparing this assay against the gold standard FITC-D method, we show the expanded utility of our OVA assay in measuring intestinal permeability.
    Methods: We directly compared our OVA assay against the FITC-D assay by co-administering both probes orally to the same animals and subsequently using their respective methodologies to measure intestinal permeability by detecting probe levels in the plasma. Permeability was assessed in mice genetically deficient in intestinal mucus production or glycosylation. In addition, wild-type mice undergoing dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis or infected by the enteric bacterial pathogen Citrobacter rodentium also were tested.
    Results: The OVA assay showed very high efficacy in all animal models of intestinal barrier dysfunction tested. Besides identifying intestinal barrier dysfunction in mice with impaired mucin glycosylation, the assay also allowed for repeated tracking of intestinal permeability within the same animal over time, providing data that cannot be easily acquired with other currently applied methods.
    Conclusions: The OVA assay is a highly sensitive and effective method of measuring intestinal permeability in mouse models of barrier dysfunction and experimental colitis.

    Abstract Background and importance: Since Trousseau's initial publication, the development of thromboembolic events related to malignancy has been well established. The pathophysiology of this is understood to be through activation of the coagulation cascade through neoplastic cells themselves or the therapy initiated (chemotherapy or surgery). To date, there have been a variety of studies, such as the OASIS-CANCER trial, which highlight the relationship of hypercoagulability to ischemic stroke. Despite these efforts, clear evidence is lacking for the utilization of antiplatelet or anticoagulation therapy in the secondary prevention of stroke following mechanical thrombectomy in patients with suspected or confirmed malignancy.
    Clinical presentation: A 71-year-old female with a history of immune thrombocytopenia, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension who was undergoing an evaluation for a lung nodule, later determined to be adenocarcinoma of the lung, underwent three successful mechanical thrombectomies for acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion over a one month period. This patient had improved National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores following each of her thrombectomies. However, her history of immune thrombocytopenia and underlying malignancy complicated her discharge medication regimen following each of her thrombectomies and may have contributed to her repeat strokes.
    Conclusion: Clear guidance is lacking regarding the utilization of antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapy in patients with suspected or confirmed malignancy following mechanical thrombectomy. Review of the literature suggests that controlling a patient's hypercoagulability may lead to improved clinical outcomes, but further clinical trials are warranted.
