The Disinfecting Efficacy of Root Canals with Laser Photodynamic Therapy
Aliu Xhevdet,David Stubljar,Igor Kriznar,Tomislav Jukić,Miha Skvarc,Peter Veranič,Alojz Ihan +6 more
TL;DR: Results ex vivo suggested that prolonging the time from 1 to 5 minutes of PDT increased the number of killed microorganisms significantly, therefore longer times of photodynamic therapy were recommended.
Non-culture-based methods to diagnose bloodstream infection: Does it work?
TL;DR: The clinical utility of molecular methods for the detection of pathogens in blood have been developed and their integration into the clinical workflow is discussed.
Dynamics of inflammation biomarkers C-reactive protein, leukocytes, neutrophils, and CD64 on neutrophils before and after major surgical procedures to recognize potential postoperative infection
TL;DR: CD64 index with its slightly higher cut-off (> 1.27) is the only biomarker that could be used as a diagnostic tool to rapidly detect postoperative bacterial infection.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Presepsin (sCD14-ST) for Prediction of Bacterial Infection in Cerebrospinal Fluid Samples from Children with Suspected Bacterial Meningitis or Ventriculitis
David Stubljar,Andreja Nataša Kopitar,Mojca Groselj-Grenc,Kristina Suhadolc,Teja Fabjan,Miha Skvarc +5 more
TL;DR: Presepsin-guided 16S rRNA gene PCR could be used in everyday clinical practice to improve etiological diagnosis of meningitis and ventriculitis and to prescribe more appropriate antibiotics, as well as to predict bacterial infection in comparison to the accuracy of established biomarkers like those demonstrated in biochemical analysis of CSF.

Predictive factors for sperm retrieval from males with azoospermia who are eligible for testicular sperm extraction (TESE).
TL;DR: None of the parameters investigated herein predicted successful TESE outcomes, however, in cases with negative TESE only smoking was identified as a predictive factor for negative sperm retrieval and was established as a risk factor.
