Anatomists' experience and perspectives on the international transfer of human remains for the purpose of education

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Anecdotally, educational institutions without access to human remains may choose to import these from other countries; however, there is currently no published information illuminating the existence of this trade. This study therefore aimed to document the nature of international transfer of human remains for education, and explore anatomists'

A systematic scoping review of metrics utilized to measure antibiotic consumption in hospital settings

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs were introduced to promote the judicious use of antimicrobials and to combat antimicrobial resistance. Quantifying antibiotic consumption is an important part of AMS initiatives to achieve these objectives.

Induction heating combined with antibiotics or SAAP-148 effectively reduces biofilm-embedded Staphylococcus aureus on a fracture-related implant mimic

Bone & Joint Research
Aims: Fracture-related infections and the associated treatment failure burden our society and healthcare system significantly. As an alternative approach, we investigated the effect of non-contact induction heating (NCIH) against Staphylococcus aureus ...

MRSA—the tip of the iceberg [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2006
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains cause serious nosocomial infections all over the world. Overall, approximately 20% of S. aureus isolates in Europe are reported as methicillin-resistant, whereas in US hospitals the prevalence ranges from 33% to 55%.

Systematic review and scoring‐based selection of pharmacokinetic models for precision dosing of vancomycin in neonates and children

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
This systematic review identified 112 population pharmacokinetic models of vancomycin in neonates and children. To support rational model selection for model‐informed precision, we developed and applied expert‐driven, transparent criteria that integrate both methodological rigour and clinical relevance.

[MRSA in otorhinolaryngology].

Laryngo- rhino- otologie, 2007
Antibiotic resistance in bacteria, particularly MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus (S.) aureus) is a crucial problem in the field of human medicine. Due to limited therapeutic choices, infections with these bacteria are causing higher morbidity and mortality compared to infections caused by MSSA (methicillin-susceptible S. AUREUS). In addition,
