Improving the quality of hospital antibiotic use is a major goal WHO's global action plan to combat antimicrobial resistance. The WHO Essential Medicines List Access, Watch, and Reserve (AWaRe) classification could facilitate simple stewardship interventions that are widely applicable globally. We aimed present data on patterns paediatric AWaRe be used for local national interventions.1-day point prevalence survey prescription were combined from two independent networks: Global Antimicrobial...
To the Editors: I am grateful for Davis et al presenting their rare case of bilateral renal obstruction from fungal bezoars and comprehensive review arguably sparse literature.1 would like to contribute a couple points this discussion, highlighting importance prevention infection, application peritoneal dialysis as bridging or rescue therapy. Fungal colonization is substantially higher in premature infants than term babies, with 30% colonized by day 5 80% 14.2 Being very premature,...
In the absence of effective treatments or vaccines, non-pharmaceutical interventions are mainstay control in COVID-19 pandemic. Refugee populations displacement camps live under adverse conditions that likely to favour spread disease. To date, only a few cases have appeared refugee camps, and whether feasible can prevent SARS-CoV-2 virus such settings remains untested.We constructed first spatially explicit agent-based model outbreak camp, applied it evaluate interventions. We parameterised...
Abstract Aim To identify health needs and healthcare access barriers of accompanied refugee asylum‐seeking (RAS) children in the North East England, pilot a new service model to address these. Methods Mixed‐methods study (retrospective analysis routinely collected data, qualitative data from focus groups) who attended hospital‐based specialist clinic. Results Over two years, 80 were referred this service. Most frequent diagnoses (total n = 104) anaemia ( 17), neurodevelopmental 12),...
Plasmodium knowlesi malaria is an uncommon, but highly prevalent parasitic infection in parts of Malaysia. This the case a 14-year-old Singaporean boy presenting to our emergency department with 11-day history fever following school trip Hepatosplenomegaly was only clinical finding; laboratory tests showed thrombocytopaenia, lymphopaenia, mild anaemia and liver transaminitis. Specific antigen were negative, peripheral blood film plasmodia atypical features, parasite load 0.5%. PCR confirmed...
Abstract Refugee camp populations are expected to be vulnerable COVID-19 due overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, and inadequate medical facilities. Because there has been no outbreak in a refugee date, the potential for nonpharmaceutical interventions slow spread of camps remains untested. We used an agent-based model simulate outbreaks Moria camp, we studied effects feasible interventions. Subdividing (’sectoring’) “flattened curve,” reducing peak infection by up 70% delaying several...
From pandemics to war, from climate change disasters-in humanitarian settings, children bear a disproportionate burden.Half of all deaths among under five years occur in such settings [1].Globally, one six children-approximately 450 million-lived conflict zone 2020 [2].In 2021, represented 41% displaced people despite only comprising 30% the population [3].Yet, for children, machinery is ill-fit purpose.Humanitarian often suffer protracted violence and political economic instability, which...
