Changing the culture: impact of a diagnostic stewardship intervention for urine culture testing and CAUTI prevention in an urban safety-net community hospital

Antimicrobial Stewardship & Healthcare Epidemiology
Cultures from urinary catheters are often ordered without indication, leading to possible misdiagnosis of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), increasing antimicrobial use, and C difficile.

Fungal Antimicrobial Resistance: Mechanisms, Drivers, and Global Clinical Burden

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fungal antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern for world health caused by an increase in multidrug‐resistant infections, an increase in environmental reservoirs, and the ineffectiveness of current antifungal treatments. Fungal infections continue to be largely excluded from AMR initiatives while causing over 1.6 million deaths ...

Commonalities of platelet dysfunction in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and underlying comorbidities

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1013-1028, April 2025.
Abstract Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is characterized by a lack of a specific targeted treatment and a complex, partially unexplored pathophysiology. Common comorbidities associated with HFpEF are hypertension, atrial fibrillation, obesity and diabetes.

Healthcare-associated urinary tract infection: epidemiology, burden of disease, and related factors at a teaching hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam 2017–2022

Antimicrobial Stewardship & Healthcare Epidemiology
Introduction: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common healthcare-associated problem. UTI has a lower mortality prevalence than other infections, but it is at high risk of leading to sepsis and increased treatment costs.
