The aim of this study was to compare sequelae and acute kidney injury (AKI) occurrence among patients with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) after changing institutional guidelines replacing vancomycin with ampicillin for gram-positive coverage. This was a retrospective, single-center cohort analysis of patients from 2016-2020 (n = 73) with NEC at a surgical neonatal intensive care unit with a high community prevalence of methicillin-resistant (MRSA). Multivariate logistic regression was utilized to assess associations.

- Nirsevimab shows significant efficacy in preventing respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections in infants, with a reported 79.5% reduction in medically attended lower respiratory tract infections and a 77.3% reduction in hospitalizations.
- The treatment was well-tolerated, exhibiting a safety profile comparable to placebo, with only minor dermatologic reactions reported.
- Despite its approval for widespread use, further questions remain about its effectiveness in preterm infants and the economic implications of its usage.
Sylvatic plague, a primarily flea-borne zoonosis, is a significant threat to prairie dogs ( spp., PDs) and their specialized predators, endangered black-footed ferrets (, BFFs). Host-fed fipronil baits have proven effective in controlling fleas on PDs for the purposes of plague mitigation and BFF conservation.

Recent Findings: Studies have further validated the use of fluconazole for IC prophylaxis among high-risk patients in the NICU. It remains unclear if prophylaxis leads to resistance development and the ideal dosage regimen is still not clear.
