Reducing antibiotic repeat prescriptions would impact resistance
Reducing antibiotic repeat prescriptions for respiratory tract infections (RTIs) within primary care could be a ‘quick win’ for antimicrobial stewardship, a new study has revealed. High rates of repeat antibiotic prescriptions, known as ‘within-episode’ prescriptions, were observed across England in a study among patients visiting their GP with RTIs. Researchers found that twenty per cent... Read moreThe post Reducing antibiotic repeat prescriptions would impact resistance appeared first on Nursing in Practice. (Source: Nursing in Practice)

Whooping Cough Is Surging in China With Tens of Thousands of Cases and Over a Dozen Deaths
Discussions are needed to determine if the country should update the vaccine it uses for the disease or adjust the immunization program, Shen Hongbing, director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said at a conference in March.
“It requires close attention to prevent and control the spread of whooping cough in China,” Shen said, according to local media reports.
Vaccination woes
Whooping cough infections have been rising in China since 2014, with more than 30,000 in 2019, according to the Chinese CDC. After a respite during the Covid isolation days, they bounced ...

Meningococcal disease on the rise in the US
Neisseria meningitidis bacteria, responsible for causing meningococcal meningitis. Courtesy: CDC A rise in invasive serogroup Y meningococcal disease has prompted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to issue a health advisory for healthcare providers. "Meningococcal disease is a bacterial infection caused by Neisseria meningitidis. About 1 in 10 people are natural carriers of the bacteria, and it can spread to others by sharing respiratory secretions," says Dr. Matthew Binnicker, director of the Clinical Virology Laboratory at Mayo Clinic. Serogroups B, C&helli...

Young Adults May Soon Be Able to Get an RSV Shot
Pfizer Inc.’s RSV shot produced immune reactions in young adults at higher risk of severe illness just as well as in older people, spurring the company’s plans to apply for wider U.S. approval.
A single dose of the vaccine, called Abrysvo, produced a strong immune response in adults ages 18 to 59 with conditions such as asthma, diabetes, or chronic lung disease, Pfizer said. Based on the final-stage trial results, the company plans to ask the Food and Drug Administration to extend the shot’s approval to adults 18 and older.

Call to reduce repeat 'within-episode' antibiotic prescriptions for respiratory tract infections in primary care
A new study exploring the use of repeat antibiotic prescriptions for the same respiratory tract infection (RTI) episode – known as repeat 'within-episode' prescriptions – in primary care has found high rates of their use in England, despite evidence that they are of little benefit. The study authors, from the Universities of Bristol, Bath, King's College London, and University Medical Center Utrecht, are calling for a reduction in their use and to make them a target for antimicrobial stewardship interventions.

How Do You Treat Nasal Fractures?
Discussion
Facial trauma is common and accounts for about 11% of all pediatric emergency room visits. Nasal fractures are fewer in younger ages but increase in incidence as children age because of increased opportunity for trauma (e.g. playing, sports, car accidents, etc.). Anatomy also plays a part as young children have more cartilaginous structures and the nose does not protrude as much as an older child or adult who also have more osseous structures. The nasal structures have 2 bigger growth phases from 2-5 years and also at puberty. Adult size is reached in 16-18 years for females and about 2 years later for males (18...
