UV radiation is the main etiological agent of skin cancer. Other factors such as pollution, diet and lifestyle are also contributing factors. Our aim was to investigate the association between melanoma and exposome factors in the Spanish population with a prospective multicenter case-control study.

- Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria are a major global health issue, particularly in intensive care units (ICUs) where high antibiotic use contributes to resistance.
- This study evaluated the effects of a Selective Digestive Decontamination (SDD) protocol on antibiotic use and colonization by carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterale (CPE) in an ICU over two years.
- Results showed that implementing SDD significantly reduced overall antibiotic consumption (especially carbapenems) and colonization rates of CPE, indicating it could be an effective approach to combat antimicrobial resistance in critical care without promoting MDR bacteria.
Background: Hospital-acquired pressure injury is an enduring problem in intensive care. Several intensive care-specific pressure injury risk assessment tools have been developed, but to date, only the COMHON Index has been aligned with risk-stratified preventative interventions.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a risk-stratified intervention bundle to reduce pressure injury in intensive care and to assess compliance with bundled interventions.
