Impact of COVID‐19 Pandemic on Antibiotic Resistance Patterns of Common Bacterial Pathogens to Antibiotics in Northern Ghana

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This retrospective study analyzed and compared antimicrobial resistance patterns of common bacterial pathogens before (October 2018–March 2020) and during (April 2020–December 2022) the COVID‐19 pandemic in Ghana's Northern Region. Amoxiclav (p = 0.027), ceftazidime (p = 0.002), ciprofloxacin (p = 0.001), gentamycin (p = 0.035), and meropenem (p < 0 ...

An Evaluation of a Molecular Point‐of‐Care Testing System Designed for Early Diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
On the basis of RT‐qPCR results, 549 oropharyngeal swabs were classified into four groups: MP‐positive (n = 109), MP‐negative (n = 160), RSV‐positive (n = 122), and RSV‐negative (n = 158). Using these as the reference standard, we evaluated a molecular point‐of‐care testing (mPOCT) system (EasyNAT) for simultaneous MP and RSV detection.

Sex differences in 5‐year incidence and prevalence of physical illnesses following early childhood autism diagnosis

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sex differences in the clinical presentation of autism are established, but evidence on early‐life co‐occurring physical illnesses in early‐diagnosed autistic individuals is scarce. This nationwide cohort study examined sex‐stratified incidence of physical illnesses within 5 years after autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis in ...

Longitudinal 4D Flow MRI‐Derived Wall Shear Stress in Patients With an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background 4D flow MRI‐derived parameters such as wall shear stress (WSS) may improve abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) progression prediction. Validation of this biomarker is needed, but longitudinal data are lacking. Purpose Investigate longitudinal WSS changes and associations with AAA morphology. Study Type Prospective.

Evaluating the Diagnostic Utility of Spinal Ultrasound in Neonates With a Simple Sacral Dimple: An Eight‐Year Retrospective Study

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study retrospectively analysed eight years of neonatal spinal ultrasound data from a major Australian children's hospital to assess the value of imaging for simple sacral dimples. Out of 448 scans, 195 were for an isolated simple dimple, and only two infants (1%) were found to have spinal dysraphism, both with other congenital anomalies.

Complaints Involving Sonographers: What Three Decades of Cases From A Public New Zealand Database Can Teach Us

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Health consumer complaints to the New Zealand Health and Disability Commissioner involving sonographers are rare, totalling 15 in the last 31 years and averaging 1.5 cases per year over the last decade. A large proportion of complaints involve an undetected finding, obstetric examination and private setting.
