Antimicrobial resistance is increasingly prevalent worldwide. The inappropriate use of antimicrobials, including in the hospital setting, considered a major driver antimicrobial resistance.To inform improvements stewardship, we undertook point prevalence surveys prescribing at Yangon Children's Hospital and General Yangon, Myanmar.We conducted our using Global Point-Prevalence Survey Consumption Resistance (Global-PPS) method. All inpatients who were prescribed an on day survey included...
To inform coverage by potential vaccines, we aimed to systematically review evidence on the prevalence and distribution of non-typhoidal
The aim of this study was to verify the clinical efficacy a diet associated with already commercially available oral amino acid functional cluster (AFC) compared administration nitrogen protein-based supplement (casein) in antagonizing malnutrition patients Chronic renal failure (CRF) undergoing haemodialysis. secondary assess changes protein levels during acute phase such as expression inflammatory cytokines. Twenty haemodialysis aged between 18 and 85 both genders (13 m, 7f) were...
STRUCTURED ABSTRACT Objective We aimed to review global studies reporting on mortality, morbidity, and post-operative complications in patients with typhoid intestinal perforation (TIP). Summary Background Data TIP is a serious life-threatening complication of fever that requires emergency surgery an important driver burden. Methods searched multiple databases for articles case-fatality ratio (CFR) or undergoing published from 1980 through 30 January 2024. described the prevalence each...
Asthma is a serious chronic health condition, and social determinants may affect its prevalence.Data from the Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance Survey (BRFSS), Georgia Call-back (ACBS), hospital emergency department survey for patients with diagnosis of asthma were used. All data years 2011 through 2014. SAS SUDAAN software used to calculate weighted prevalence estimates perform univariate multivariate analyses association between determinants, other risk factors, outcomes.The was highest...
Summary To inform vaccine development strategies, we aimed to systematically review evidence on the prevalence and distribution of non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica serogroups serovars. We searched four databases from inception through 4 June 2021. included articles that reported at least one strain by serogroup or serovar isolated a normally sterile site. Of serogrouped isolates, pooled O:4, O:9, other using random-effects meta-analyses. serotyped Typhimurium (member O:4), Enteritidis O:9),...
