The sensitivity and specificity of these monthly blood cultures to detect CRBSI in the following month were 0.44 and 0.95, respectively. The positive and negative predictive values of the test were 0.14 and 0.99, respectively. CONCLUSION In this study, systematic catheter blood cultures did not predict the occurrence of CRBSI. The sensitivity of these tests could be improved by increasing the sampling frequency. A cost-benefit analysis of such measures should be performed.
.Hereditary spastic paraparesis (HSP) caused by mutations in the SPAST (SPG4) gene are autosomal-dominant inherited disorders characterized by weakness of lower extremities, spasticity and hyperreflexia. Some cases with cognitive decline have been repored. Herein we present an asymptomatic carrier of a SPAST gene mutation who developed an adult-onset cognitive decline, compatible with Alzheimer's disease with co-pathologies such as argyrophylic grain disease and cerebrovascular pathology. No pathological changes described in HSP patients were present in this case.
.Rabbi Moses Ben Maimon, known as Maimonides, or The "Rambam" (a Hebrew acronym for his name), was one of the greatest arbiters of all times on matters of Jewish law, one of the greatest philosophers of the Middle Ages, a scientist, and a researcher. In addition, he was a court physician to the Egyptian Sultan. In addition to his monumental work on Jewish law and ethics, his writings on medicine have been considered classics over the generations. The aim of this paper is to assess Maimonides' health regimen and to compare his dietary recommendations with contemporary dietary regimens. To this end, Maimonides' recommendations were compared to the modern guidelines of the United States, the Netherlands, and the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as to the Mediterranean
