The Relationship Between esentation and the Time of Initial Administration of Antibiotics With utcoes of erionitis in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: The PROMPT Study.

Introduction: The impact of time to treatment on clinical outcome is an established precept in infectious disease but is not established in peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis (PDRP).

Methods: In a prospective multicenter study of PDRP, symptom-to-contact time (SC), contact-to-treatment time (CT), defined as the time from health care presentation to initial antibiotic, and symptom-to-treatment time (ST) were determined.

Results: One hundred sixteen patients had 159 episodes of PDRP.

Climate and soil properties limit the positive effects of land use reversion on carbon storage in Eastern Australia.

Australia's "Direct Action" climate change policy relies on purchasing greenhouse gas abatement from projects undertaking approved abatement activities. Management of soil organic carbon (SOC) in agricultural soils is an approved activity, based on the expectation that land use change can deliver significant changes in SOC. However, there are concerns that climate, topography and soil texture will limit changes in SOC stocks.
