"It's easier to take a pill than fix a problem:" qualitative analysis of barriers and facilitators to antimicrobial stewardship program implementation in carceral settings.

Background: Widespread antibiotic prescribing contributes to globally emerging antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Despite stewardship recommendations by the Infectious Diseases Society of America, there is a lack of literature identifying barriers and facilitators to antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) in United States (U.S.

A ChatGPT Assisted Reading Protocol for Undergraduate Research Students.

A major challenge for undergraduate students is reading scientific literature. This is especially true in biophysics, where many of the concepts may not have been covered in undergraduate courses. Students can become overwhelmed, which may lead to less overall engagement with the scientific literature.

Responses to clinical treatment of bipolar versus unipolar depressive episodes in women versus men.

Background: Whether responses to treatment of major depressive episodes differ between women and men or with bipolar (BD) and major depressive disorders (MDD) remains unresolved.

Aims: To test for diagnostic and sex differences in responses to treatment of depression.

Methods: We compared changes in the 21-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) ratings of depression ( = 3243) between women (64.

Spatiotemporal distribution of organochlorine pesticides in the upper La Antigua watershed, Veracruz Mexico.

Even though the use of organochlorine pesticides has been prohibited since the last century their presence is still being recorded around the world. In the upper La Antigua watershed, Veracruz, Mexico we have reported concentrations of these contaminants in different compartments of the riverine ecosystems. This is of relevance due to their potential disruptive endocrine effect on the vertebrates drinking the water or feeding in the riverine area.

Does the diversity of vegetation and diatoms correlate with soil and water factors in a tropical cloud forest's complex land use/land cover scenario?

Soil and water characteristics in micro basins with different land uses/land cover (LULC) can influence riparian vegetation diversity, stream water quality, and benthic diatom diversity. We analyzed 18 streams in the upper part of the La Antigua River basin, México, surrounded by cloud forests, livestock pastures, and coffee plantations. Concentrations of P, C, and N were elevated in the humus of forested streams compared to other land uses.
