Aim Of The Study: Sarcoidosis is characterized by noncaseating granulomas that can affect multiple organs. Due to the lack of prospective studies regarding treatment of hepatic sarcoidosis with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), we set out to evaluate its effects in a single-center, open-label, prospective, pre-post study.
Material And Methods: A total of 10 patients were screened from August 2018 to July 2020; seven met the criteria and were enrolled.
Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual visiting technologies were rapidly integrated into the care offered by intensive care units (ICUs) in the UK and across the globe. Today, these technologies offer a necessary adjunct to in-person visits for those with ICU access limited by geography, work/caregiving commitments, or frailty. However, few empirical studies explore the ethical issues associated with virtual visiting.

- * During the study from 2020 to 2022, high resistance rates were recorded against multiple antibiotics, particularly penicillin, lincomycin, and tetracycline, with a notable increase in resistance to amoxicillin, cephalexin, and ceftiofur.
- * A quarter of the isolates were found to produce extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL), indicating a potential risk for the spread of resistant S. Heidelberg in poultry production.
