A matched case-control study to assess the carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae infections among hospitalized children at King Fahad Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
CONCLUSION: This study identified prior antibiotic exposure, recent surgery and the use of invasive procedures as significant risk factors for colonization or infection with CRE. Also, the need for public awareness, continuing education for healthcare professionals, optimum use of invasive devices, enhanced surveillance, and antimicrobial stewardship are highlighted here which can limit CRE transmission in healthcare facilities.

Scoping Review on Search Queries and Social Media for Disease Surveillance: A Chronology of Innovation
Conclusions: The use of search queries and social media for disease surveillance are relatively recent phenomena (first reported in 2006). Both the tools themselves and the methodologies for exploiting them are evolving over time. While their accuracy, speed, and cost compare favorably with existing surveillance systems, the primary challenge is to refine the data signal by reducing surrounding noise. Further developments in digital disease surveillance have the potential to improve sensitivity and specificity, passively through advances in machine learning and actively through engagement of users. Adoption, even as suppor...

Microbiological screenings for infection control in unaccompanied minor refugees: the German Armed Forces Medical Service ’s experience
ConclusionsWe conclude that the applied in-house PCR screening systems, which have proven to be useful for screening military returnees from tropical deployments, can also be used for health assessment of immigrants from the respective sites. Apparently healthy UMRs may be enterically colonized with a broad variety of pathogenic and apathogenic microorganisms. Increased colonization rates, as shown forG. duodenalis, can pose a hygiene problem in centralized homes for asylum seekers.

In vitro Activity of Sitafloxacin and Other Antibiotics against Bacterial Isolates from HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Medical Center, Srinakharinwirot University and Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital.
Conclusion: Sitafloxacin had more susceptible percentage to E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, A. baumannii, and S. maltophilia compared to comparative fluoroquinolones. It should be considered an antibiotic for treatment of respiratory tract and urinary tract infections caused by the resistant strains of these bacteria with susceptible proven of in vitro susceptibility.

Trends in antimicrobial susceptibility patterns in King Fahad Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Conclusion: Streptococcus pneumoniae susceptibility to penicillin significantly improved over time, which might be because of the introduction of the pneumococcal vaccine. Conversely, the upward trend in resistant gram-negative organisms is worrisome and warrants the implementation of antimicrobial stewardship programs.

Spinning Up Antibacterial Silver On Glass
The antibacterial effects of silver are well established. Now, researchers at Yonsei University in Seoul, Republic of Korea, have developed a technique to coat glass with a layer of silver ions that can prevent growth of pathogenic bacteria including Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium and Campylobacter jejuni. The technology could be used to protect medical equipment and be particularly useful for applications in disaster recovery and the military environment...

Janssen Initiates First-of-its-Kind Clinical Study to Bridge Critical Gaps in Care for People of Color with Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis
HORSHAM, PENNSYLVANIA, March 22, 2022 – Psoriasis (PsO) can take a physical, psychological, and emotional toll on the more than 8 million Americans living with the disease; and for people of color, there are additional challenges due to limited medical research and education, as well as underrepresentation in clinical studies.1,2,3 This has led to a lack of data and barriers to optimal care for diverse patient populations.2 PsO may also present with less noticeable skin reddening on darker skin tones, which can make it harder for healthcare providers to identify and lead to misdiagnoses in people of color. To help addres...

Proctoclysis for rehydration in children - A scoping review and a pilot survey among medical doctors
Complement Ther Med. 2022 Nov 15:102902. doi: 10.1016/j.ctim.2022.102902. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough proctoclysis (enema) is a historically proven, safe and cost-effective rehydration method that needs little training for users and can effectively replace intravenous hydration in different care settings, it is an uncommon choice for hydration in children with fever and is often missing in official guidelines. To evaluate the usefulness of proctoclysis, this study provides a scoping review of the existing literature. The matched literature was labelled in 5 categories, identifying 6 indication fields that are em...
