Chemical agents to control biofilm formation in step 1 of care—Toothpastes and mouthwashes/concepts and challenges

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Maintaining optimal oral hygiene is important for overall oral care, ensuring the well‐being of teeth and their surrounding tissues. In addition, it promotes fresh breath and a pleasing smile. A key element of oral self‐care is the daily use of toothpaste during regular brushing.

Effectiveness of nonsurgical therapy of peri‐implant mucositis: A systematic review

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives This systematic review intends to respond to the question: “How do clinical parameters change in implants affected by peri‐implant mucositis following different non‐surgical treatment approaches or no treatment in patients monitored for a minimum of six months?” Materials and Methods A search for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) or

Establishment of an Antimicrobial Stewardship Program to Spare the Use of Oral Fluoroquinolones for Acute Uncomplicated Cystitis in Outpatients

The increase in fluoroquinolone (FQ)-resistant Escherichia coli (EC) is a serious global problem. In addition, much of acute uncomplicated cystitis (AUC) cases are caused by EC.

Outcomes of a Routine Screening Protocol to Prevent Metamycoplasma and Ureaplasma Infection in Lung Transplant Recipients

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
This study analyzed outcomes of an early Mollicute (Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma spp.) screening protocol using BAL PCR with preemptive treatment and ammonia monitoring in lung transplant recipients. This appears to be a practical and reasonably effective approach for preventing early Mollicute infection and hyperammonemia syndrome.

Documenting Clinical Complexity: A Model for Improving Documentation and Billing in Transplant Infectious Diseases

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
A low‐intensity educational intervention improved high‐level E/M coding and uptake of G0545 and critical care billing in transplant infectious diseases, demonstrating that targeted documentation practices can better capture cognitive complexity and enhance reimbursement.

Bridging the Gap Between General and Transplant Infectious Disease Practice

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The population of iatrogenic immunocompromised individuals is steadily rising as we continue to improve in our ability to manage diseases, including cancer, autoimmune disease, and end‐organ dysfunction, with increasing access to novel agents and transplantation.

A Regional Approach to Strengthening the Implementation of Sustainable Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs in Five Countries in East, Central, and Southern Africa

Background: Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs optimize the use of antimicrobials and reduce antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This study evaluated the implementation of AMS programs in Africa using a harmonized regional approach.
