Paxlovid was granted an Emergency Use Authorization for the treatment of mild to moderate coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), based on interim analysis Evaluation Protease Inhibition COVID-19 in High-Risk Patients (EPIC-HR) trial. effectiveness needs be assessed a noncontrolled setting. In this study we used population-based real-world data evaluate Paxlovid.The database largest healthcare provider Israel identify all adults aged 18 years or older with first-ever positive test severe acute...
This study describes neuropsychiatric side effects in patients after treatment with mefloquine. Reactions consisted mainly of seizures, acute psychoses, anxiety neurosis, and major disturbances sleep-wake rhythm. Side occurred both therapeutic prophylactic intake were graded from moderate to severe. In a risk analysis Germany, it is estimated that one 8,000 mefloquine users suffers such reactions. The incidence calculation revealed 215 had reactions, compared 13,000 the prophylaxis group,...
Recent exposure to azoles is an important risk factor for infection with fluconazole-resistant Candida spp., but little known about the role of antibacterial drug in emergence drug-resistant Candida. We did a prospective nationwide surveillance study candidemia Israel and analyzed propensity score-adjusted association between antifungal bloodstream C. glabrata isolates. Four hundred forty-four episodes (450 isolates, 69 [15%] 38 [8.5%] isolates) from 18 medical centers were included. was...
Molnupiravir was granted emergency use authorization for the treatment of mild to moderate coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In this study, we used population-based real-world data evaluate effectiveness molnupiravir.The database largest healthcare provider in Israel identify all adults with first-ever positive test severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) performed community during January-February 2022, who were at high risk COVID-19, and had no contraindications molnupiravir...
Tixagevimab and cilgavimab, a combined monoclonal antibody (Evusheld), was granted emergency use authorization for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) preexposure prophylaxis in individuals with immunocompromising conditions. In this study we used population-based real-world data to evaluate the effectiveness of Evusheld immunocompromised patients.Using computerized database largest healthcare provider Israel, identified all adult patients who were eligible receive...
Vaccination, especially with multiple doses, provides substantial population-level protection against COVID-19, but emerging variants of concern (VOC) and waning immunity represent significant risks at the individual level. Here we identify correlates (COP) in a multicenter prospective study following 607 healthy individuals who received three doses Pfizer-BNT162b2 vaccine approximately six months prior to enrollment. We compared 242 fourth dose 365 did not. Within 90 days enrollment, 239...
Due to the increasing burden on hospital systems, most elderly patients with non-surgical sepsis are admitted general internal medicine departments. Disease-severity scoring systems used for stratification of utilization management, performance assessment, and clinical research. Some widely septic inappropriate when rating in a non-intensive care unit (ICU) environment mainly because their calculations require types data that frequently unavailable. This study aimed assess fitness four...
An outbreak of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 1 occurred in a closed community that was characterized by poverty and crowding. Vaccine administered to individuals aged >2 years; no new cases among vaccine recipients. Six weeks after vaccination, carriage 1, but not other serotypes, decreased 8.8-fold. This suggests the reduction reflects natural course rather than effect. Polysaccharide may be helpful terminating pneumococcal outbreaks affect carriage.
Abstract Background Following 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) implementation in infants worldwide, overall and vaccine-type invasive disease (IPD) rates declined children, with variable indirect impact on adults. Methods A population-based, prospective, nationwide active surveillance of IPD Israel, 2004–2019 (for adults ≥18 years, 2009–2019). The 7-valent PCV (PCV7)/PCV13 were implemented Israel July 2009/November 2010, respectively, >90% uptake children <2...
Abstract Background Little is known about the risk of progression from carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) carriage to CPE bloodstream infection (BSI) outside high-risk settings. We aimed determine incidence BSI among carriers and assess whether differs by carbapenemase, species, setting. Methods conducted a nationwide population-based retrospective cohort study using national databases. The consisted all patients in Israel with detected screening 1 January 2020 10 October 2022....
We describe 6 cases of meningitis after spinal anesthesia associated with a single anesthesiologist over the course 5 years. The earliest case occurred in 2000, and other 14 months 2004-2005. identified 2000 was culture-positive for Streptococcus salivarius . were culture-negative this organism but 2 cases, cerebrospinal fluid found to be positive bacterial DNA that as belonging S. by sequencing 16S rRNA gene. association hospital during relatively short interval, however, lead us believe...
For use in a millimeter-wave direct detection radiometer for earth remote sensing, we have developed low-noise amplifier (LNA) module with small-signal gain of 19.5 dB at 243 GHz and 3 bandwidth 40 GHz.

Drug Prescribing for Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease in General Practice: a Cross-Sectional Study
We present a case of Acremonium vertebral osteomyelitis that relapsed despite surgical debridement and prolonged treatment with liposomal amphotericin B, but which responded to voriconazole therapy. The report highlights the role molecular diagnosis rare fungal osteomyelitis. patient was successfully treated voriconazole.
This paper describes a single-chip W-band frequency multiplier MMIC in waveguide package. The multiplication factor by 12 has been obtained with doubler, tripler and doubler chain. realized 100 nm metamorphic HEMT technology. It packaged split-block module using high precision 50 µm thick quartz transition for the output low cost ceramic on input. A power supply board, embedded module, provides six different voltages to MMIC. achieves an of -0.8 dBm, conversion gain 0.2 dB 3-dB bandwidth 16...
Background: Elderly patients are at a higher risk of acquiring sepsis, and largely being treated in Internal Medicine (IM) departments. Aim: To characterize the differences between nonagenarians other age groups admitted to IM departments with assess predictors for survival older than 90 years age. Design methods: A prospective registry all-comers sepsis community-based Medical Center was build. Patients' demographics, medical history, clinical presentation outcomes were recorded analyzed...
