Pharmacists nationwide may play a critical role in expanding naloxone access after several states enacted legislation to allow pharmacist prescribing of opioid antagonists. This created a unique opportunity for inpatient pharmacists to participate in combating the opioid epidemic by prescribing naloxone at hospital discharge. A multifaceted intervention was developed to identify and educate hospitalized patients eligible for naloxone prescribing.

The avermectin emamectin benzoate (EMB) is widely used for salmon delousing. While resistance to EMB is widespread in Atlantic populations of L.

- Mesophotic ecosystems, found between 30-150 meters deep, cover a large part of the oceans but have been under-researched due to accessibility challenges.
- Recent advances in underwater technology and increased interest have led to significant exploration of these ecosystems, particularly tropical and temperate coral reefs.
- An updated database review identified four main research biases: uneven geographical studies, differences in depth focus, varied research fields, and a scarcity of long-term studies, indicating areas for improvement in future research.
Real-time evaluation of macozinone activity against through bacterial nanomotion analysis.

Novel drugs and improved diagnostics for (MTB) are urgently needed and go hand in hand. We evaluated the activity of two benzothiazinone drug candidates (MCZ, PBTZ169; BTZ043) and their main metabolites against MTB using advanced nanomotion technology. The results demonstrated significant reductions in MTB viability within 7 h, indicating the potential for rapid, precise antibiotic susceptibility testing based on a phenotypic read-out in real time.

Current methods of identifying tolerance based on bacterial growth are time-consuming. This study explores the use of a growth-independent method utilizing nanomotion technology to detect antibiotic-tolerant bacteria.
