Risk of transmission of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and related "superbugs" during gastrointestinal endoscopy.

To evaluate the risk of transmission of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and their related superbugs during gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. Reports of outbreaks linked to GI endoscopes contaminated with different types of infectious agents, including CRE and their related superbugs, were reviewed. Published during the past 30 years, both prior to and since CRE's emergence, these reports were obtained by searching the peer-reviewed medical literature (via the United States National Library of Medicine's "MEDLINE" database); the Food and Drug Administration's Manufacturer and User

Experimental data-sets on sex reversal and histopathological assessment of potential endocrine disrupting effects of graphene oxide on Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) larvae at the onset of maturity.

The datasets of this article present the experimental parameters resulting from the assessment of sex reversal (SR) as a biomarker of endocrine disrupting effect of graphene oxide (GO), together with the histopathological assessment of ovary, testis, liver and kidneys of medaka larvae. These data sets support the published article "Sex-reversal and histopathological assessment of potential endocrine-disrupting effect of graphene oxide on Japanese medaka (Oryzias larvae) larvae." The experiments were conducted on one day-post hatch (dph) Japanese medaka fries (orange-red variety) exposed to dif

Spatial and temporal risk mapping of human and porcine Taenia solium infections in Malawi: a systematic review and geostatistical approach.

BACKGROUND: Taenia solium, colloquially called the pork tapeworm, is a zoonotic parasite with a human definitive host and a porcine intermediate host. Humans can become an aberrant intermediate host due to accidental ingestion of parasite eggs from the environment or through autoinfection, resulting in human cysticercosis (HCC), or neurocysticercosis (NCC) if the central nervous system is infected. Pigs become infected with the larval stage, porcine cysticercosis (PCC), through the ingestion of parasite eggs shed by humans through defecation. Malawi has been classified as endemic for T. solium

Single-center retrospective study of the effectiveness and toxicity of the oral iron chelating drugs deferiprone and deferasirox.

BACKGROUND: Iron overload, resulting from blood transfusions in patients with chronic anemias, has historically been controlled with regular deferoxamine, but its parenteral requirement encouraged studies of orally-active agents, including deferasirox and deferiprone. Deferasirox, licensed by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2005 based upon the results of randomized controlled trials, is now first-line therapy worldwide. In contrast, early investigator-initiated trials of deferiprone were prematurely terminated after investigators raised safety concerns. The FDA declined market approval

Anaphylactic and nonanaphylactic reactions to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Currently there is no systematic review and meta-analysis of the global incidence rates of anaphylactic and nonanaphylactic reactions to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in the general adult population. OBJECTIVES: To estimate the incidence rates of anaphylactic and nonanaphylactic reactions after COVID-19 vaccines and describe the demographic and clinical characteristics, triggers, presenting signs and symptoms, treatment and clinical course of confirmed cases. DESIGN: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses [PRISMA] statement

[Diagnostic kits in parasitology: which controls?].

The development of new diagnostic tools particularly for some parasitic "neglected diseases", is slowed or even hindered by limited resources assigned for basic and applied research in public institution and private sector. Even if the time-line and costs needed for developing a new In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) test are generally lower compared to vaccines or new drugs, industry is poorly engaged in investing resources due to the perception of limited markets. To accelerate the development of diagnostics for the world's most deadly diseases, the World Health Organization's (WHO) Special Programme

First Report of Albugo ipomoeae-panduratae Causing White Rust on Ivyleaf morningglory (Ipomoea hederacea) in Iowa.

Ivyleaf morningglory (Ipomoea hederacea L.) is a prevalent weed in Iowa. This weed was found in corn field with approx. >50% incidence and from 10-40% severity of white pustules in Boone County during summer 2022, 2023, and 2024. The weed was observed with irregularly yellow-necrotic spots on the adaxial surface of leaves with white pustules on the abaxial side. Initially, the adaxial surface of the infected leaf exhibited yellow irregular spots that gradually turned brown and necrotic (Fig. S1A). On the yellow irregular spots of the abaxial surface, tiny, powdery, and chalky-white-cream sori

OBJECTIVES: To compare effects of oral paliperidone with any other treatment for people with schizophrenia and schizophrenia-like illnesses. SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched the Cochrane Schizophrenia Group's Register (December 2006), and inspected references of identified studies for further trials. We contacted the manufacturers of paliperidone, the Food and Drug Administration, and authors of relevant

Acute Gastroenteritis on Cruise Ships - Maritime Illness Database and Reporting System, United States, 2006-2019.

PROBLEM/CONDITION: Gastrointestinal illness is common worldwide and can be transmitted by an infected person or contaminated food, water, or environmental surfaces. Outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness commonly occur in crowded living accommodations or communities where persons are physically close. Pathogens that cause gastrointestinal illness outbreaks can spread quickly in closed and semienclosed environments, such as cruise ships. CDC's Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP) is responsible for conducting public health inspections and monitoring acute gastroenteritis (AGE) illness on cruise ships

Military medical research in the IDF: an array of fields and interests.

War is as old as history. Some may say it is older. The first Biblical war, dated 1880-1875 BCE, is depicted in the book of Genesis between nine kings in the vicinity of the Jordan river near Jericho. By the end of the war, Abraham (Abram) gets involved in saving his nephew Lot. In addition to war, military medicine also has its roots in historical times. Hippocrates (460-377 BCE), the father of medicine, derived his medical knowledge from the battlefield, and Sushruta [1], the father of plastic surgery, mentioned the physician's preventive role in noting environmental hazards: "A common pract

Paliperidone palmitate for schizophrenia.

BACKGROUND: Paliperidone palmitate, a long-acting, intramuscular formulation of paliperidone, is now available for clinical use. Paliperidone is an active metabolite of risperidone and it is also available in an oral formulation for daily use. OBJECTIVES: To compare the effects of paliperidone palmitate with any other treatment for people with schizophrenia and schizophrenia-like illnesses. SEARCH METHODS: We searched the Cochrane Schizophrenia Group's Register (November 2009) and inspected references of identified studies for further trials.

Traumatic brain injury: progress and challenges in prevention, clinical care, and research.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has the highest incidence of all common neurological disorders, and poses a substantial public health burden. TBI is increasingly documented not only as an acute condition but also as a chronic disease with long-term consequences, including an increased risk of late-onset neurodegeneration. The first Lancet Neurology Commission on TBI, published in 2017, called for a concerted effort to tackle the global health problem posed by TBI. Since then, funding agencies have supported research both in high-income countries (HICs) and in low-income and middle-income countrie

Global ethylene oxide uses in foods and considerations for food safety.

Ethylene oxide (EtO) is a sterilant widely used for medical devices, but its use is controversial due to its carcinogenicity. In some countries, EtO is also used to fumigate food to eliminate foodborne pathogens, though this practice is banned in others. National regulations on EtO use in food vary widely; exporting countries prioritize trade facilitation and prevention of foodborne illness, while importing countries emphasize maintaining food safety and promoting domestic public health. These divergent public health priorities present challenges to establishing universal maximum residue limit

… The EU also maintains a robust importation food inspection system, enabling authorities to identify violations [ 2 ]. In the EU, MRLs for EtO are calculated by combining the concentrations of EtO and 2-CE using the formula: sum EtO and 2-CE = conc EtO + (conc 2-CE × 0.55) [ 28 ]. …

A liberalized diet does not improve caloric intake during neutropenia in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplants: A prospective randomized controlled trial.

BackgroundThe neutropenic diet has been a long-standing approach to preventing infection in patients with hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCTs), although data on its efficacy are inconclusive and its restrictive nature might contribute to harm by reducing dietary intake in this patient population who typically experiences poor oral intake. The aim was to determine if a liberalized diet (LD), in comparison with a neutropenic hospital diet (ND), would improve energy intake and lessen weight loss during neutropenia in patients with HSCTs.MethodsA randomized controlled trial was conducted in

Safety and tolerability study of sotrovimab (VIR-7831) prophylaxis against COVID-19 infection in immunocompromised individuals with impaired SARS-CoV-2 humoral immunity.

BackgroundMultiple vaccines have been approved since August 2021 to prevent infection with SARS-CoV-2; however, 20-40% of immunocompromised people fail to develop SARS-CoV-2 spike antibodies after COVID-19 vaccination and remain at high risk of infection and more severe illness than non-immunocompromised hosts. Sotrovimab (VIR-7831) is a monoclonal neutralizing antibody that binds a conserved epitope on the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. It is neither renally excreted nor metabolized by P450 enzymes and therefore unlikely to interact with concomitant medications (e.g., immunosuppressive medications

The Influence of Local Pamidronate Application on Alveolar Dimensional Preservation after Tooth Extraction-An Animal Experimental Study.

The aim of this randomized, controlled animal exploratory trial was to investigate the influence of local application of aminobisphosphonate pamidronate during the socket preservation procedure. Mandibular premolars were extracted in five Göttingen minipigs. Two animals underwent socket preservation using BEGO OSS (n = 8 sockets) and three animals using BEGO OSS + Pamifos (15 mg) (n = 12 sockets). After jaw impression, cast models (baseline, eight weeks postoperative) were digitized using an inLab X5 scanner (Dentsply Sirona) and the generated STL data were superimposed and analyzed with GOM I
