Regional antimicrobial stewardship program in a provincial medical zone in Japan: A multifaceted approach
Jpn J Infect Dis. 2021 Dec 28. doi: 10.7883/yoken.JJID.2021.577. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a threat to patient health. However, there is a lack of data for optimizing antimicrobial use. Furthermore, reducing antibiotic use raises concerns regarding patient safety; there is controversy regarding its effectiveness in reducing AMR prevalence. Researchers at the Japanese Red Cross Ishinomaki Hospital (JRCIH), the only tertiary care hospital in the medical zone, along with local medical and pharmacy associations and public health centers, has been leading the AMR control program since 2018....

Symptoms and PCR testing interval for bacterial pathogens in patients with diarrhoea
Conclusions . This study shows that early testing correlates with more positive PCR results and underlines that PCR for SSYCP is of lesser importance in the diagnostic workup of chronic diarrhoea and/or gastrointestinal symptoms. The shorter STI found in immunocompromised patients is possibly due to a lower threshold for testing in this population. It is also important to take recent antibiotic use into consideration when interpreting PCR results, given the correlation between negative PCR results and antibiotic use. Careful and precise documentation of symptoms in medical records is essential for clinical practice and res...

Food Safety Curriculum
Pregnant women are at increased risk for developing certain types of foodborne illness due to hormonal changes necessary during pregnancy to promote the survival of the fetus. Pathogens of special concern to pregnant women and their fetuses include Listeria monocytogenes, Toxoplasma gondii, Salmonella species, and Campylobacter jejuni.1,2 Nutrition education curricula for pregnant women typically focus on basic food safety concepts, which may not address the pathogen-specific information pregnant women need to understand why they are at higher risk for certain foodborne illnesses, potential health risks to their fetus, and...

Integrated Device Design Critical to Rapid Medical IoT Development
Medical IoT holds the promise of vastly improved patient outcomes, along with the potential for an evolutionary step-change in the way healthcare is managed and delivered. Medical IoT devices will enable more rapid detection of disease, continuous remote monitoring of a patient’s condition, and far more targeted, effective treatment of conditions ranging from diabetes to cancer. All aspects of fundamental healthcare will be impacted: Prevention and wellness, chronic care, acute care, and post-acute care monitoring. As a consequence, the market for connected medical devices is estimated to grow from $20.6B...

Medical Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Activity of Rose Oil on Some Standard Bacteria Strains and Clinical Isolates
CONCLUSIONS: Different percentages of diluted solutions of rose oil might be used as a preventive and therapeutic treatment for infections caused by E coli, B subtilis, and S aureus, provided that this is supported by evidence from clinical trials. Consequently, natural antimicrobial rose oil may have beneficial effects on human and environmental health.PMID:34653022
