Consumption of antibiotics at St Luke’s Hospital : a critical factor behind the local prevalence of antimicrobial resistance? [PDF]

, 2006
The intensity of antibiotic use in hospital settings is recognised as possibly the most important factor for the selection of antimicrobial resistance. Hospitals are therefore being encouraged to undertake surveillance and benchmarking of antimicrobial ...

Impact of changes in the WHO's 2019 update of DDDs on the measurement of adult hospital antibacterial consumption in Catalonia, 2008-18 [PDF]

, 2021
Objectives: in 2019 the WHO fully adopted new DDD values. The objective of this study is to analyse their impact on the measurement of consumption of antibacterials in hospitals participating in the Catalan Infection Control and Antimicrobial Stewardship

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Data-driven antimicrobial stewardship:Using local data to reduce antimicrobial consumption [PDF]

, 2023
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a growing threat to human health around the world. As more bacteria become resistant to antibiotics, mortality due to antibiotic-resistant infections increases.

Consumption of antibiotics within ambulatory care in Malta [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Antibiotic use is recognised as the most important driver for the development of antimicrobial resistance in community pathogens. Surveillance is therefore critical for improvement programmes.

Risk factors for oral antimicrobial consumption in Swiss fattening pig farms – a case–control study [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Antimicrobial consumption in veterinary medicine is of great importance. Increased awareness by the public and media has led to demands for decreased use of antimicrobials in pigs. This study aimed to identify risk factors for regular oral

Recurrent Hypothermia and Autonomic Dysfunction Secondary to Shapiro Syndrome

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 44‐year‐old man presented with recurrent hypothermia, diaphoresis and hypertension. Extensive investigation for infectious, inflammatory, metabolic and endocrine aetiologies was negative. MR scan of the brain demonstrated no lesions but revealed callosal dysgenesis, consistent with Shapiro syndrome.

Antimicrobial consumption and resistance in adult hospital inpatients in 53 countries: results of an internet-based global point prevalence survey.

Lancet Global Health, 2018
BACKGROUND The Global Point Prevalence Survey (Global-PPS) established an international network of hospitals to measure antimicrobial prescribing and resistance worldwide. We aimed to assess antimicrobial prescribing and resistance in hospital inpatients.

Point Prevalence Survey of Antibiotic Use in Latin American Hospitals: 2022–2023

Antibiotics
Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a public health challenge, exacerbated by the inappropriate use of antibiotics (ABs) and the lack of standardized surveillance in healthcare settings.

Abundance and Antimicrobial Resistance of Three Bacterial Species along a Complete Wastewater Pathway

Microorganisms, 2019
After consumption, antibiotic residues and exposed bacteria end up via the feces in wastewater, and therefore wastewater is believed to play an important role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). We investigated the abundance and AMR profiles
