Evaluation of the Bacterial Infections and Antibiotic Prescribing Practices in the Intensive Care Unit of a Clinical Hospital in Romania.

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are associated with increased mortality, antimicrobial resistance, and high antibiotic use. : The characteristics of bacterial resistance and antibiotic consumption in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a clinical hospital in Romania were evaluated. Demographic data of patients, identified bacteria, antibiotics administered, and their sensitivity profiles were collected and analyzed.

Xanomeline-trospium (Cobenfy) for Schizophrenia: A Review of the Literature.

Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental illness associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Antipsychotics primarily rely on direct dopamine blockade, leading to potential life-interfering adverse events. The purpose of this review is to describe the safety and efficacy of xanomeline-trospium (Cobenfy), a Food and Drug Administration approved treatment for schizophrenia in adults.

Integrating Pollutant registers for the climate change risk evaluation of industrial companies in Australia, Europe and North America.

We present a methodology to develop the integrated climate change transition and physical risk assessment of industrial companies in Europe, Northern America and Australia. There is an increasingly important need for effective large-scale climate change risk assessment solutions with more governments aligning their company reporting regulations with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures recommendations. In this paper, we measure key aspects of climate change risks of industrial firms on the globe and vice versa.

How does air quality reflect the land cover changes: remote sensing approach using Sentinel data.

Significant environmental challenges, such as urban and industrial expansion, alongside vegetation preservation, directly influence the concentrations of critical air pollutants and greenhouse gases in cities and their surroundings. The urban development and expansion process is aptly captured by classifying land use and land cover (LULC). We aimed to analyze LULC changes in an Andean area, Ecuador, and to reveal the relations of LULC classes with three air pollutants ozone ( ), nitrogen dioxide ( ), and sulfur dioxide ( ), using remote sensing datasets (Sentinel-5P - Sentinel 1 - Sentinel-2) across different periods.

Morbidity and Mortality Risk Among People With Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Central or Visceral Adiposity: A Targeted Literature Review.

Background: Given the known relationship between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), antiretroviral therapies, and excess visceral adipose tissue (VAT), this review sought to characterize risk of negative health outcomes associated with excess VAT and increased waist circumference (WC) in people with HIV (PWH).

Methods: Comprehensive targeted literature searches were conducted in Medline/Embase (27 June 2022), identifying peer-reviewed articles and conference abstracts reporting on cohorts of PWH. Screening was guided by PECOS (Population, Exposure, Comparator, Outcomes, Study design) criteria.
