Article Synopsis
- Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant challenge in treating bacterial infections in humans and animals, particularly in food-producing species like sheep, where data on bacterial susceptibility is limited.
- A study sampled the upper respiratory tracts of 620 sheep in California to analyze the susceptibility of the bacteria Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida, often linked to ovine respiratory disease (ORD).
- Results showed a 55.3% recovery rate of the target bacteria, with M. haemolytica exhibiting notable resistance to penicillin, while P. multocida was mostly susceptible, highlighting critical gaps in antimicrobial stewardship in veterinary practices.
Background: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are chronic gastrointestinal diseases that negatively affect the enjoyment of food and engagement in social and cultural gatherings. Such experiences may promote psychosocial challenges, an aspect of IBD often overlooked and under-supported in clinical settings and research.
Objectives: This study explored the psychosocial experiences that young adults with IBD have with food via a qualitative patient-led research process.
Purpose: Treatment of malignant and nonmalignant hematologic diseases with hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) was first described almost 60 years ago, and its use has expanded significantly over the last 20 years. Whereas HSCT has become the standard of care for many patients in developed countries, the significant economic investment, infrastructure, and health care provider training that are required to provide such a service have prohibited it from being widely adopted, particularly in developing countries.
Methods: Over the past two decades, however, efforts to bring HSCT to the developing world have increased, and several institutions have described their efforts to establish such a program.
Background: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention to increase the implementation of healthy eating and physical activity policies and practices by centre-based childcare services. The study also sought to determine if the intervention was effective in improving child dietary intake and increasing child physical activity levels while attending childcare.
Methods: A parallel group, randomised controlled trial was conducted in a sample of 128 childcare services.
