Article Synopsis
- * The study was retrospective and involved matching patients based on age and antibiotic usage to analyze recurrence rates, finding a significantly lower recurrence rate in the tapered vancomycin group (5.3%) compared to the standard group (28%).
- * The results suggest that tapering vancomycin might be a more effective treatment for initial CDI infections, but more extensive studies are needed to confirm these findings.
In the first 20 orbits of the Juno spacecraft around Jupiter, we have identified a variety of wave-like features in images made by its public-outreach camera, JunoCam. Because of Juno's unprecedented and repeated proximity to Jupiter's cloud tops during its close approaches, JunoCam has detected more wave structures than any previous surveys. Most of the waves appear in long wave packets, oriented east-west and populated by narrow wave crests.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAge-related hearing loss affects hearing at high frequencies and is associated with difficulties in understanding speech. Increased audio-visual integration has recently been found in age-related hearing impairment, the brain mechanisms that contribute to this effect are however unclear. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging in elderly subjects with normal hearing and mild to moderate uncompensated hearing loss.
