Profile of Genes Encoding Antimicrobial Resistance and Virulence in 3963 Escherichia coli Isolates.

Zum Einsatz von Informationstechnologie zur Verbesserung der Arzneimitteltherapiesicherheit (Memorandum AMTS-IT)

[english] Information technology in health care has a clear potential to improve quality and efficiency of health care, especially in the area of medication processes. On the other side, existing studies show possible adverse effects on pat...

Assessing the Microbial Quality of Shrimp (<i>Xiphonaeus kroyeri)</i> and Mussels (<i>Perna perna</i>) Illegally Sold in the Vitória Region, Brazil, and Investigating the Antimicrobial Resistance of <i>Escherichia coli</i> Isolates

The consumption of seafood is crucial for food security, but poor hygiene along the food production chain can result in low microbiological quality, posing significant risks for public health and seafood quality. Thus, this study aimed to a...

Exposure to particulate matter (PM2.5) and prevalence of diabetes mellitus in Indonesia

Background: Recently emerging evidence suggests an association between particulate matter less than 2.5 µm in diameter (PM2.5) exposure and diabetes risk. However, evidence from Asia is limited. Here, we evaluated the association between PM...

Degradation of Organophosphorus and Pyrethroid Insecticides in Beverages: Implications for Risk Assessment

Since urinary insecticide metabolites are commonly used as biomarkers of exposure, it is important that we quantify whether insecticides degrade in food and beverages in order to better perform risk assessment. This study was designed to qu...

The Evolution of Phytochemical and Medicinal Plant Research in Chile: Status, Opportunities, and Challenges

Background: The global use of herbal medicines and research on plant bioactive compounds have steadily increased. In Chile, this growth is linked to ethnobotanical knowledge and advances in phytochemistry, although gaps persist in its evolu...

Rheumatoid Arthritis and Cardiovascular Risk: Retrospective Matched-Cohort Analysis Based on the RECORD Study of the Italian Society for Rheumatology

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with an increase in cardiovascular (CV) risk. This issue maybe not only explained by a genetic component, as well as by the traditional CV risk factors, but also by an underestimation and ...

Role of Chat GPT in Public Health

Removal of Microcystin-LR by a Novel Native Effective Bacterial Community Designated as YFMCD4 Isolated from Lake Taihu

Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is the most toxic and frequently detected monocyclic heptapeptide hepatotoxin produced by cyanobacteria, which poses a great threat to the natural ecosystem and public health. It is very important to seek environment-...

Protective effects of ceria nanoclusters against delayed paraplegia after spinal cord ischemia

Abstract Spinal cord ischemia reperfusion injury (SCIRI) induced delayed paraplegia is a complex complication of thoracoabdominal aortic surgery. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a critical role in the pathogenesis of delayed paraplegia, ...

Click Chemistry in Materials Science

Despite originating only a little more than a decade ago, click chemistry has become one of the most powerful paradigms in materials science, synthesis, and modification. By developing and implementing simple, robust chemistries that do not...

Recent advances in surface functionalization of cardiovascular stents

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading global threat to human health. The clinical application of vascular stents improved the survival rates and quality of life for patients with cardiovascular diseases. However, despite the benefit...

Antiviral humoral immunity as biomarker and effector in oncolytic adenovirus TILT-123 therapy.

Neoadjuvant pepinemab in combination with nivolumab and/or ipilimumab in resectable metastatic melanoma: a pilot biomarker-driven trial.

The LEGACy study: a European and Latin American consortium to identify risk factors and molecular phenotypes in gastric cancer to improve prevention strategies and personalized clinical decision making globally

Abstract Background Gastric Cancer (GC) is the fourth most deadly cancer worldwide. Enhanced understanding of its key epidemiological and molecular drivers is urgently needed to lower the incidence and improve outcomes. Furthermore, tumor b...

DNA methylation patterns of circadian and ultradian genes are altered in the peripheral blood of patients with hidradenitis suppurativa

BackgroundHidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects hair follicles in areas with apocrine sweat glands, such as the underarms, groin, and buttocks. The pathogenesis of HS is not fully understood, bu...

Exposure of Microglia to Interleukin-4 Represses NF-κB-Dependent Transcription of Toll-Like Receptor-Induced Cytokines

Interleukin (IL)-4 is a cytokine that affects both adaptive and innate immune responses. In the central nervous system, microglia express IL-4 receptors and it has been described that IL-4-exposed microglia acquire anti-inflammatory propert...

Cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes associated with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Background: Chronic systemic inflammation in individuals with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) potentially predisposes them to metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Nevertheless, evidence with regard to such association is limited...
