Ceftazidime-resistance in pediatric melioidosis: A case report and literature review.

We report a first case of ceftazidime-resistant pediatric melioidosis involving a previously healthy seven-year-old boy who presented with right lobar pneumonia complicated with a 5-cm lung abscess. Ceftazidime was initiated on Day-6 of admission when (ceftazidime-susceptible, minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC] 1.0 mcg/mL) was isolated from blood.

Dose-response analysis of music intervention for improving delirium in intensive care unit patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Delirium is a common and severe condition among adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Music intervention, as a non-pharmacological approach, has the potential to reduce delirium, but the optimal dosage and type of intervention remain unclear.

Aim: To explore the effects of music intervention at different doses and types on reducing delirium in ICU patients.

Fluorinated and methylated -benzodipyrrole-based acceptors suppressing charge recombination and minimizing energy loss in organic photovoltaics.

The elimination of the A' unit from -type Y6-derivatives has led to the development of a new class of -benzodipyrrole (-BDP)-based A-DBD-A-type NFAs. In this work, two new A-DBD-A-type NFAs, denoted as CFB and CMB, are designed and synthesized, where electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms and electron-donating methyl groups are substituted on the benzene ring of the -BDP moiety, respectively. CFB exhibits a blue-shifted absorption spectrum, stronger intermolecular interactions, shorter π-π stacking distances, and more ordered 3D intermolecular packing in the neat and blend films, enabling it to effectively suppress charge recombination in the PM6:CFB device showing a higher PCE of 16.

Clinical Relevancies of Sarcopenic Obesity in Patients with Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MASLD).

Aim: Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is associated with adverse outcomes in diseased patients. This study aimed to examine the prevalence and risks associated with SO, with a focus on the impact of SO on cardiovascular risk in patients with MASLD.

Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, patients with MASLD were prospectively enrolled.

Creating an Extremely Long-lasting Neuroischemic Wound Model.

In wound study and dressing development, a lack of a suitable animal model that can recapitulate the complex pathophysiology of human chronic wounds has been a major hurdle. Chronic wounds are defined as wounds that heal with a significant delay, usually over a period >2-3 months, but no current animal wound model has such a longischemia. After a longexploration, our group has developed an animal wound model with ischemia and nerve damage lasting for at least 6 months.
