Clinical risk factors for admission with Pseudomonas and multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas community-acquired pneumonia
ConclusionIncidence of MDRPseudomonas CAP was stable over time. COPD was associated withPseudomonas CAP but not with MDRPseudomonas CAP. Larger cohort studies are needed to confirm findings.

Cilostazol: a Review of Basic Mechanisms and Clinical Uses
AbstractPrimarily used in the treatment of intermittent claudication, cilostazol is a 2-oxyquinolone derivative that works through the inhibition of phosphodiesterase III and related increases in cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels. However, cilostazol has been implicated in a number of other basic pathways including the inhibition of adenosine reuptake, the inhibition of multidrug resistance protein 4, among others. It has been observed to exhibit antiplatelet, antiproliferative, vasodilatory, and ischemic-reperfusion protective properties. As such, cilostazol has been investigated for clinical use in a variety o...

Prevalence, risk factors and outcomes of patients coming from the community with sepsis due to multidrug resistant bacteria
ConclusionIn light of the prevalence and impact of MDR bacteria causing sepsis in patients coming from the community, physicians should consider ESBL coverage when starting an empiric antibiotic therapy in patients with specific risk factors, especially in the presence of septic shock.

Isolation of Antimicrobial Compounds From Cnestis ferruginea Vahl ex. DC (Connaraceae) Leaves Through Bioassay-Guided Fractionation
Conclusion In conclusion, aqueous extracts of C. ferruginea leaves showed antimicrobial activity due to the presence of hydroquinone and caffeic acid methyl ester. This supports its traditional use for infections and confirmed that the active molecules are water-soluble. Author Contributions KK, SP, LVP, and WL conceived and designed the experiments. SP, KK, M-RY, and J-GL performed the experiments. SP, LVP, WL, M-RY, J-GL, and Z-HJ analyzed the data. WL and Z-HJ contributed reagents, materials, and analysis tools. KK, SP, WL, M-RY, Z-HJ, and LVP contributed to the writing of the manuscript. All authors contributed to m...

Superbugs, Anti-Vaxxers Make WHO ’ s List Of 10 Global Health Threats
(CNN) — From climate change to superbugs, the World Health Organization has laid out 10 big threats to our global health in 2019. And unless these threats get addressed, millions of lives will be in jeopardy. Here’s a snapshot of 10 urgent health issues, according to the United Nations’ public health agency: Not vaccinating when you can One of the most controversial recent health topics in the US is now an international concern. “Vaccine hesitancy — the reluctance or refusal to vaccinate despite the availability of vaccines — threatens to reverse progress made in tackling vaccine-prevent...

Monitoring of hospital acquired pneumonia in patients with severe brain injury on first access to intensive neurological rehabilitation: First year of observation.
Authors: Beghi G, De Tanti A, Serafini P, Bertolino C, Celentano A, Taormina G Abstract Nosocomial or hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP) is an illness contracted during a hospital stay, generally with onset 48 hours or more after admission to hospital, or within 14 days of discharge from hospital. HAP is divided into subgroups: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), accounting for 86% of hospital acquired pneumonia, and stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP). The incidence of SAP in neurological intensive care units (NICUs) is 4.1-56.6%, in medical intensive care units (MICUs) it is 17-50%, in stroke units it is 3.9-44% ...

Safety and Interactions of Direct Oral Anticoagulants with Antiarrhythmic Drugs
AbstractDirect oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are novel direct-acting medications that are selective for either thrombin or activated factor X. Due to their obvious benefits for patients (fewer interactions, broader therapeutic window, etc.), they are increasingly used as an alternative to warfarin, phenprocoumon, or acenocoumarol. One of the major indications for use of DOACs is stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, interactions still exist, especially in combination with antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs), which are frequently given to AF patients for rhythm or rate control. These interactions are d...

Abnormal haemodynamic postural response in patients with chronic heart failure
ConclusionsIn HF patients, the autonomic vasomotor response to postural stress is abnormal, more pronounced with increasing disease severity, and frequently associated with overt postural hypotension. These phenomena appear related to the cardiac condition rather than treatment.

Importance of detoxifying enzymes in differentiating fibrotic development between SHRSP5/Dmcr and SHRSP rats
Conclusions The greater progression of fibrosis in SHRSP5/Dmcr induced by HFC may be due to greater suppression of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase activity detoxifying toxicants, such as hydrophobic BAs.

To intervene or not? A man with multidrug-resistant hypertension, endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair, bilateral renal artery stenosis and end-stage renal disease salvaged with renal artery stenting.
We report the case of a 69-year-old man with uncontrolled multidrug-resistant secondary hypertension following a 10 year history of endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, with suprarenal fixation and concurrent angioplasty with stenting of the left renal artery for atherosclerotic renal disease, and progressive chronic kidney disease. Renal scintigraphy revealed complete loss of the right kidney's and severe reduction of the left kidney's perfusion and function. Following recent evidence and consultation with vascular surgeons regarding the technical difficulties of any procedure, escalation of antihypertensive tre...
