Antibiotic use (ABU) in animals is postulated to be a major contributor to selection of antibiotic resistance (ABR) which subsequently causes infections in human populations. However, there are few quantifications of the size of this association. Denmark, as a country with high levels of pig production and strong ABR surveillance data, is an ideal case study for exploring this association.

Materials And Methods: This single-center retrospective study included 2310 PTBD (right-side: 1164; left-sided: 966; bilateral: 180) interventions for biliary obstruction (benign/malignant) in 449 patients between 2010-2020. Patients with percutaneous cholecystostomy alone were excluded.
Article Synopsis
- Plasma p-tau217 is identified as a promising blood-based marker for detecting Alzheimer Disease (AD) pathology, particularly in memory clinic patients undergoing lumbar punctures.
- A study involving 108 participants found that plasma p-tau217 levels were significantly higher in those with detected amyloid (Aβ) pathology compared to those without, indicating its strong potential for diagnosis.
- The analysis showed that plasma p-tau217 had excellent performance metrics for Aβ detection (AUC: 0.91), outperforming other biomarkers and suggesting it could be a reliable tool in Alzheimer's diagnostics.
