No Increased Risk of Infection Following a Protocol Change to Decrease Duration of Perioperative Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Liver Transplantation

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
There was no increased rate of surgical site infection or bacteremia in liver transplant recipients following a decrease in perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis duration, with a change from 2.4% to 2.8% in patients hospitalized prior to transplant and 7.5% to 2.9% in other patients.

Incidence of and risk factors for infection or colonization of vancomycin-resistant enterococci in patients in the intensive care unit. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The prevalence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) colonization or infection in the hospital setting has increased globally. Many previous studies had analysed the risk factors for acquiring VRE, based on cross-sectional studies or prevalent cases.

Impact of Advanced Age on Posttransplant Infections and Outcomes in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients: A Multicenter Cohort Study

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Advanced age (≥60 years) was independently associated with higher mortality in solid organ transplant recipients, despite similar infection incidence. Even a single infection episode significantly increased mortality risk, underscoring the need for close clinical monitoring in elderly patients.

S2k Guideline: Hygienic requirements for patient beds, bed linen, bed accessories and personal protection when handling beds

GMS Hygiene and Infection Control
Hospitalized patients are often more susceptible to infection than healthy people due to their illness, the presence of devices and their reduced immune defenses.

Linear Approximations to AC Power Flow in Rectangular Coordinates

, 2015
This paper explores solutions to linearized powerflow equations with bus-voltage phasors represented in rectangular coordinates. The key idea is to solve for complex-valued perturbations around a nominal voltage profile from a set of linear equations ...

VRE and VSE Bacteremia Outcomes in the Era of Effective VRE Therapy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis [PDF]

Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, 2015
BACKGROUNDPrior data suggest that vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) bacteremia is associated with worse outcomes than vancomycin-sensitive Enterococcus (VSE) bacteremia. However, many studies evaluating such outcomes were conducted prior to the availability of effective VRE therapies.OBJECTIVETo systematically review VRE and VSE bacteremia ...

When First‐Line Therapies Fail: Surgical Site Infections and the Declining Antimicrobial Utility in a Resource‐Limited Nation

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
In Belize, a 7‐year nationwide study reveals a sharp rise in antimicrobial resistance in surgical infections. ESBL‐producing bacteria more than doubled to > 45%, with critical treatment gaps and geographic hotspots identified. Sentinel pan‐drug‐resistant cases and a correlation between antibiotic use and resistance underscore the urgent need for ...

The effect of antibiotic use on prevalence of nosocomial vancomycin-resistant enterococci- an ecologic study

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2017
Background Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are among the most common antimicrobial-resistant pathogens causing nosocomial infections. Although antibiotic use has been identified as a risk factor for VRE, it remains unclear which antimicrobial ...

Optimal Control‐Based Generic Framework for Radiofrequency Pulse Design in MRI

NMR in Biomedicine, Volume 39, Issue 6, June 2026.
This paper presents an open‐source Python‐based optimal control RF design framework, which can tackle various problems (short‐T2 selective excitation or B1‐robust excitation/inversion). It features three main methodological contributions: a specific cost is introduced to reduce pulse peak amplitude; consistent integration of various hard constraints on
