Objectives: To determine whether MDR occurs more frequently in nitrofurantoin-resistant urinary isolates in England, compared with nitrofurantoin-susceptible isolates.

Methods: Using routine urine isolate antibiotic susceptibility laboratory surveillance data for England, 2015-19 inclusive, the percentage of MDR or XDR phenotype was estimated for nitrofurantoin-susceptible and nitrofurantoin-resistant laboratory-reported urinary tract samples by region, patient sex and age group.

Results: Resistance to nitrofurantoin among urinary samples decreased slightly year on year from 2.

Objective: Helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) literature has been assessed in reviews focusing on various diagnoses, but there are few, if any, summaries of the entire body of HEMS outcomes evidence. Our goal was to summarize the existing research addressing patient-centered outcomes potentially accrued with HEMS.

Methods: As part of the Critical Care Transport Collaborative Outcomes Research Effort, we generated the HEMS Outcomes Assessment Research Database and executed descriptive analyses of longitudinal trends from 1983 to 2022.

In the United States, there are approximately 750,000 ST-elevation myocardial infarction cases each year. Streamlined care and rapid delivery for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is associated with improved survival. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to generate a practical estimate of mortality savings for every notional 30-minute decrease in the time to achieving PPCI.

Background: This case-series study examined canal morphology and common factors for endodontic failure in maxillary first and second premolars that were referred for retreatment owing to clinical symptoms or radiographic signs.

Methods: Records were retrospectively searched using Current Dental Terminology codes to identify maxillary first and second premolars with endodontic failure. Periapical and cone-beam computed tomographic images were examined to determine Vertucci classifications and suspected factors related to treatment failure.
