Sources and Transmission Routes of Carbapenem-Resistant : Study Design and Methodology of the SAMPAN Study.

: The global spread of carbapenem-resistant (CRPA) warrants collaborative action. Guidance should come from integrated One Health surveillance; however, a surveillance strategy is currently unavailable due to insufficient knowledge on the sources and transmission routes of CRPA. The aim of the SAMPAN study ("A Smart Surveillance Strategy for Carbapenem-resistant ") is to develop a globally applicable surveillance strategy.

Detection methods for carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in surface water and wastewater.

Water systems can act as an important reservoir for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can pose public health risks during human contact. Carbapenem resistance is one of the most concerning resistances in P. aeruginosa making it a high-priority pathogen according to the World Health Organization (WHO), due to its ability to cause difficult-to-treat infections.

Full moon mesencephalon sign: a transient cytotoxic lesion in a hemodialysis patient with newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation and severe stenosis of the right vertebral artery.

Brain cytotoxic edema is a neuroradiological sign secondary to variegate diseases ranging from migraine to fulminant Listeria rhombencephalitis. The tempestive identification of its underlying cause is vital for an effective treatment as any delay may be fatal. However, the lack of distinctive imaging biomarkers and the paucity of reports pose a significant challenge in its diagnosis and frequently lead to a misdiagnosis particularly with the more common acute ischemic stroke.

Preservation of Murine Whole Eyes With Supplemented UW Cold Storage Solution: Anatomical Considerations.

Purpose: Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) apoptosis and axon regeneration are the principal obstacles challenging the development of successful whole eye transplantation (WET). The purpose of this study was to create a neuroprotective cocktail that targets early events in the RGC intrinsic apoptotic program to stabilize RGCs in a potential donor eye.

Methods: University of Wisconsin (UW) solution was augmented with supplements known to protect RGCs.
