	CDC - The Impact of Hospital-Acquired Bloodstream Infections
		Estimates of nosocomial bloodstream infections from the SCOPE database indicate that 70% occur in patients with central venous catheters (12).
		Assuming 200,000 total nosocomial bloodstream infections of which 35% are attributable to central venous catheters and assuming that 45% could be prevented with a catheter bonded with minocycline and rifampin, the number of lives saved according to varying attributable mortality rate estimates would be 4,745 to 9,450 (Table 2).
		Previous studies showed 175,000-350,000 nosocomial bloodstream infections/yr, 70% of which were related to central venous catheters; 90% of central venous catheter-related bloodstream infections prevented with antibiotic bonded catheters (11).

		Although these infections are usually associated with the presence of fever, a study of intensive-care unit patients with new onset of fever found that 80 to 90 percent of these fevers were not associated with a documented catheter infection.
		The estimated percentage of all bacterial bloodstream infections in the adult population that are related to a catheter ranges from 5 to 15 percent, though experts in the field believe the incidence to be higher.
		Due to difficulties in diagnosing catheter-related bloodstream infections, a large proportion of patients enrolled into a study may ultimately be found not to have this infection.

		In fact, I can honestly say that Bloodstream is a movie that stays in your head hours after the film has ended.
		But as I said, the main problems with Bloodstream are not bad enough to keep the movie stashed on the shelves.
		Even though the net result is set at an adequate pace, I did notice one or two minor gaps in the plot, which thankfully managed not to detract credit from the complexity of the story.

	Can We Do More to Prevent Nosocomial Bloodstream Infections? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		On the basis of these figures, nosocomial bloodstream infection is rated at anywhere from the fourth to the 13th leading cause of death in the United States, stated Richard Wenzel, MD, chairman and professor of medicine at the Medical College of Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.
		However, nosocomial bloodstream infections are preventable, said Dr. Wenzel, who spoke recently at the 4th Decennial International Conference on Nosocomial and Healthcare-Associated Infections.
		Because most nosocomial bloodstream infections are associated with central venous catheters, using catheters coated with antibiotics such as rifampin and doxycycline may be the best available preventive method.

	Heparin May Reduce Cancer's Spread
		This study, however, demonstrates that heparin acts differently from the drugs taken orally, and it is this different action that is responsible for its potential ability to discourage the spread of cancer throughout the body.
		Normally, cancer spreads when pieces of the original tumor break off and travel through the bloodstream to other parts of the body, where they start the growth of a new tumor.
		During their travels though the bloodstream, these tumor cells are protected from the body's immune system because platelets -- one of many types of cells in the bloodstream -- stick to them and prevent the immune system from recognizing them.

		The spleen, which is located in the upper left part of the abdomen under the ribcage, works as part of the lymphatic system to protect the body, clearing worn out red blood cells and other foreign bodies from the bloodstream to help fight off infection.
		Lymph vessels collect the interstitial fluid and then return it to the bloodstream by emptying it into large veins in the upper chest, near the neck.
		After these substances have been filtered out, the lymph fluid leaves the lymph nodes and returns to the veins, where it re-enters the bloodstream.

		Research in animals has found that this fat, floating in the bloodstream, contributes in many ways to blockage formation.

	ScienceDaily: Sandbagging Cancer In The Bloodstream
		Furthermore, blocking Src in normal mice dramatically protects the mice against metastatic tumors because it keeps the cancer cells "sandbagged" in the bloodstream where they are vulnerable to attack and clearance from the immune system.
		Cheresh, Weis, and their colleagues thought that if they could prevent this by blocking VEGF or Src kinase--in essence, sandbagging the tumor cells in the bloodstream--this might have a positive therapeutic effect on patients with metastatic cancer, because the human immune system handles tumor cells very well if they are in the circulation.
		Metastasis is a dangerous phenomenon in which cancer cells separate from a tumor mass, move through the bloodstream, anchor down in a distant tissue or organ, and begin a new cancer that might compromise the function of that organ.
