Article Synopsis
- Thawing permafrost releases pathogens and antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs), which can lead to bacterial epidemics in circumpolar regions.
- Researchers studied the link between climate change, permafrost thawing, and the potential global healthcare impacts of these antibiotic-resistant pathogens.
- Their analysis of 13 studies identified diverse bacterial genera with over 1,000 ARGs, highlighting the need for increased awareness and action regarding this emerging healthcare challenge.
Purpose: Diverting Loop Ileostomy (DLI) with intraoperative colonic lavage has emerged as a potential alternative to Total Abdominal Colectomy (TAC) for treating Fulminant Clostridium Difficile Colitis (FCDC). This study aims to provide an updated review comparing DLI with TAC in managing FCDC.
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Embase to identify retrospective and prospective studies comparing DLI with TAC for fulminant CDC treatment.
Information on vaccination rates and factors associated with adherence in persons with HIV (PWH) is limited. We report vaccine adherence in 653 adult PWH attending an urban Infectious Disease Clinic from January 2015 to December 2021. Vaccines evaluated included influenza, pneumococcal, tetanus, hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV), human papillomavirus (HPV), and zoster vaccines.

We aim to evaluate clinical outcomes in patients with severe COVID-19 receiving high-dose corticosteroids (HDC) versus low-dose corticosteroids (LDC).
Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study conducted at a large, quaternary care center in Michigan.
