This study assessed the prevalence and spatial distribution of viable ultrafine and fine antibiotic-resistant bacteria aerosols (ARB) in the Metropolitan Area of Barranquilla, Colombia, pre- and post-lockdown (September 2019 to December 2020). Samples were systematically collected from urban, suburban, and rural sites using a six-stage viable cascade impactor. We employed logistic regression and Bayesian Neural Network Classifiers to analyze meteorological variables' influence on antibiotic resistance persistence.

Objective: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a therapeutic option in the guidelines for liver primaries after standard strategies like surgery or thermoablation have failed. To assess its efficacy and safety, we reviewed all patients treated by SBRT for a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) over a six-year period.

Methods And Materials: The study included all patients treated by SBRT for HCC between April 2015 and November 2021 in the University Cancer Institute at Toulouse-Oncopole.
