The CDC has declared C. auris as an urgent Antifungal Resistant (AR) Threat Candida auris, C. auris, is a type of fungus that causes severe infections and is spread very easily, especially through healthcare facilities and equipment. C. auris has been a burden on healthcare systems since it was discovered in 2009 and surfaced in the United States in ...
Feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) can cause acute and highly contagious infectious diseases in cats, namely feline infectious rhinotracheitis. In 1958, FHV-1 was isolated and identified for the first time from kittens suffering from respiratory diseases in the United States by Crandell et al. Clinical manifestations include keratoconjunctivitis, upper respiratory tract infection and miscarriage, ...
According to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the target to reach a 90% reduction in Tuberculosis (TB) deaths around the world is 2030. Global efforts have saved 74 million lives since 2000 and are continuing to do so with the decisive actions being taken by all the countries involved. Every year, the 24th of March is recognized as World Tuberculosis Day to ...
ABSTRACT: The incidence of wartime vascular injury has increased and is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. While ligation remains an option, current resuscitation and damage control techniques have resulted in vascular repair being pursued in more than half of wartime injuries. Options for vascular reconstruction are currently limited to autologous vein or synthetic conduits, choices ...
Recently, the Wolf Foundation published a list of Wolf Chemistry Award winners in 2022, with honors from Professor Bonnie L. Bassler at Princeton University, Professor Carolyn R. Bertozzi at Stanford University, and Professor Benjamin F. Cravatt III at the Scripps Institute. The press release points out that these scientists have made pioneering contributions to understanding the chemistry behind ...
ABSTRACT Infection of prosthetic vascular grafts can manifest as pain, pseudoaneurysms, or arterial insufficiency in the leg. We present the case of a female patient with a medical history of a right external iliac artery endofibrosis, with a persistently infected synthetic iliofemoral bypass graft, which we replaced with a bioengineered human acellular vessel. At the 12-month follow-up visit, ...
According to the WHO, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest threats to health and food safety. It is increasingly evident that antibiotics, resistant micro-organisms, and their resistance genes are spreading invisibly through water. It is important that we tackle AMR effectively in water too. Antibiotics and other medicines will continue to play a key role in our everyday lives, ...
Improve sepsis testing accuracy. Enhance patient safety. These are the driving forces behind Magnolia Medical Technology’s Mission to ZERO. Mission to ZERO™ is a nationwide plan to create greater awareness of patient safety and antibiotic-associated risks caused by false-positive diagnostic test results for sepsis. The goal is to initiate change by improving national blood culture ...
Poland has 38 large regional hospitals responsible for hematology and oncology. Genano has delivered a total of over 150 air purifiers to these hospitals. Of the 16 regions in Poland, 13 are using Genano to protect immunocompromised patients. Challenge Polish regional hospitals have recognized the need for protecting patients from infections by providing ultra pure air in patient ...
This case study discusses hospital readmissions and provides healthcare professionals with recommended medical algorithms in the form of scores, models, and calculators that can aid in reducing readmissions, especially when related to antibiotic resistant microbiological pathogens. When health analytics, such as the CDC antibiotic resistance program and other algorithms are integrated into ...
According to the EPA and American Medical Association (AMA), studies indicate that indoor levels of many pollutants may be 25 times and occasionally more than 200 times higher than outdoor levels. While older buildings present the issue of a large buildup of contaminants over time, today’s modern building codes mandate that building must be built with tighter wraps so new buildings are ...
