Of all COVID-19 vaccination-associated adverse events, 2.69% may be neurological in nature. We report the first case of myelitis from India with ChAdOX1 nCoV-19 vaccine; patient had excellent recovery. Having occurred after an administration > 50 million doses, benefits vaccination seem to outweigh risk events.

Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is a third-generation nucleoside analogue commonly used as first-line therapy for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. However, it associated with nephrotoxicity, which can occur through mechanisms such mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) depletion and damage to renal tubules. This nephrotoxic effect typically manifests mild increase in serum creatinine decrease phosphate, usually within 4-12 months after starting treatment. Recent studies...

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAb), a major public health threat, causes severe infections in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients. It resists β-lactam antibiotics through mechanisms like New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM). In ICU patients, 69 species were isolated from 86 non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli. Isolates identified using biochemical methods and Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS), carbapenem...
