Extended-Spectrum β-Lactam Resistant and in Wild European Hedgehogs () Living in Populated Areas.

Wildlife has been suggested to be a good sentinel of environmental health because of its close interaction with human populations, domestic animals, and natural ecosystems. The alarming emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in human and veterinary medicine has activated/triggered the awareness of monitoring the levels of AMR pollution in wildlife. European hedgehogs () are common wild species habiting urban areas in Europe.

Local Growth Hormone Therapy for Pressure Ulcer Healing on a Human Skin Mouse Model.

The growth hormone is involved in skin homeostasis and wound healing. We hypothesize whether it is possible to improve pressure ulcer (PU) healing by locally applying the recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) in a human skin mouse model. Non-obese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient mice ( = 10) were engrafted with a full-thickness human skin graft.
