Abstract

Infective endocarditis is relatively uncommon, affecting approximately 10,000 to 20,000 people in the United States, and accounting for one of every 1000 hospital admissions. (1) These infections can involve the right or left side of the heart and both native and prosthetic valves. Of the left-sided native valve infections, the aortic valve accounts for 5% to 36% of cases, mitral valve 28% to 45% of cases and zero to 35% of cases involve both valves. In right-sided native valve infections, the tricuspid valve is involved in zero to 6% of cases and the pulmonary valve is involved in less than 1% of cases. (1) The incidence of prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE), while not as common as native valve infections, is reported to be 3.1%, with the probability of infection being highest within the first year of valve placement. (2) The coagulase-negative staphylococcus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, is the most common pathogen of prosthetic valve endocarditis, especially within the first year after surgery. Methicillin-resistant strains, which are most common in the first year, can account for up to 79% of infections. (3) The treatment of methicillin-susceptible organisms include naficillin plus rifampin in combination with gentamicin. The recommendation for methicillin-resistant organisms or those with a penicillin allergy is vancomycin plus rifampin and gentamicin. Other agents used include linezolid and quinupristin-dalfopristin. (4) Daptomycin, a novel antibiotic, is emerging as a new treatment option for right-sided endocarditis resulting from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus species. Originally approved in 2003 for skin and skin structure infections, it was approved in 2006 for the treatment of S. aureus (methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) and resistant isolates (MRSA)) bacteremia and right-sided endocarditis. (5) To our knowledge, we present the first case of a patient with pulmonary valve endocarditis due to methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcusepidermidis treated with valve replacement and daptomycin. Keywords: Daptomycin Infective endocarditis, Case Report A 31-year-old female with a history of pulmonary valve replacement presented with fevers and chills of unknown etiology. On initial evaluation the patient was worked up by her [...]

18. Could Wind or Solar Energy Replace Diesel Generators for Aviation Ground Maintenance Operations?

Author

MARINE CORPS COMMAND AND STAFF COLL QUANTICO VA, Rivera-Rivera, Jose O, MARINE CORPS COMMAND AND STAFF COLL QUANTICO VA, and Rivera-Rivera, Jose O

Abstract

The USMC is working to reduce their energy and logistic footprints, as a result, the USMC is looking fro green alternatives to reduce their dependency on fossil fuels. Wind and solar power, although two of the cleanest sources of energy, fall short of being the right alternatives to replace the use of diesel generators by the USMC to supply external power for their aviation ground maintenance operations. These two alternatives, when used independently. present several challenges related to their electricity generation capacity, thus rendering them ineffective and inefficient In addition to these challenges, both systems have other issues when installed in the vicinity of airfields.
