Gaps and Barriers to the Implementation of Antimicrobial Stewardship Programmes in Hospitals of Pakistan.

Antimicrobial-resistant bacteria are particularly prevalent in Southeast Asia, mainly due to inadequate infection prevention and control (IPC) and the widespread and uncontrolled use of antibiotics. Pakistan is the third largest low-middle-income country (LMIC) user of antibiotics. Antibiotic consumption increased by 65%, from 800 million to 1.

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus and predicted risk of maternal cardiovascular disease 10-14 years after delivery: A prospective cohort.

Aims: Studies evaluating the relationship between adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs), namely hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), with the estimated risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remains limited and could inform patient-centred decision-making in the postpartum period. We examined whether HDP or GDM were associated with a higher 10- and 30-year predicted risk of ASCVD measured 10-14 years after delivery.

Methods: A secondary analysis from the international prospective Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome Follow-up Study (2013-2016) cohort.

Nitrogen-Rich Barium-Organic Framework for Capture and Cocatalysts Free Chemical Fixation of CO via Cyclic Carbonates and Oxazolidinones.

The carbon dioxide (CO) capture and utilization strategy has emerged as an innovative and multifaceted approach to counteract carbon emissions. In this study, a highly porous muffin polyhedral barium (Ba) ̵ organic framework (BaTATB; HTATB = 4,4',4″--triazine-2,4,6-triyl-tribenzoic acid) was synthesized solvothermally. The three-dimensional honeycomb pore architectures were densely populated with Lewis acidic Ba(II) metal sites and basic nitrogen-rich triazines.

A Rare Case of Wolfram Syndrome Presenting With Tuberculous Meningitis: A Case Report.

Wolfram syndrome is an extremely rare condition composed of a tetrad of diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, and deafness. When concurrently presenting with another condition, such as tuberculous meningitis, the widespread range of resulting symptoms delays the establishment of diagnosis and treatment, which results in increased patient morbidity.
