Non-typhoidal in humans in India, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka: a systematic review.
JAC Antimicrob Resist
December 2024
Objectives: Non-typhoidal (NTS) commonly causes a self-limiting illness but invasive disease (iNTS) can be life-threatening. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) increases the risk of mortality. This systematic review aimed to estimate the proportion of NTS isolated in those attending healthcare services, serovar burden, AMR, serovar-specific AMR, and case fatality rate (CFR) in India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Vietnam.

- - The study investigates how effective digital radiographs (DR) and standing computed tomography (sCT) are in assessing the risk of condylar stress fractures in Thoroughbred racehorses, which can lead to catastrophic injuries.
- - Four observers analyzed images of 31 horses, focusing on bone structure changes, and found that while both imaging methods had high specificity, the sensitivity for detecting structural changes was relatively low.
- - Results indicated that sCT provided better repeatability and reliability for risk assessments compared to DR, particularly for identifying horses at high risk of injury.
Objective: To assess cochlear implant (CI) sound processor usage over time in children with single-sided deafness (SSD) and identify factors influencing device use.
Study Design: Retrospective, chart review study.
Setting: Pediatric tertiary referral center.
Objective: There are complex and interrelated factors that lead to inequitable healthcare delivery in Canada. Many of the factors that underlie these inequities for Canada's geographically dispersed Indigenous peoples remain underexamined.
Methods: A cohort of 831 First Nations (FN) individuals from urban and remote communities were recruited into a longitudinal study of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) risk from 2005 to 2017.
