Metabolic Syndrome Is Associated with Impaired Survival after Surgery for Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors.

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms. Surgery is the only curative treatment option. However, our understanding of predictors of survival after surgery remains incomplete.

Community-acquired serious bacterial infections in the first 90 days of life: a revisit in the era of multi-drug-resistant organisms.

Background: Infants in the first 90 days of life are more prone to develop serious bacterial infections (SBIs). Multi-drug-resistant organisms (MDROs) are emerging as important pathogens causing SBIs. We reviewed the epidemiology of SBIs in infants 0-90 days old and compared the clinical features, laboratory values and final outcome for SBIs due to MDROs vs.

Knowledge, practices & attitude toward antibiotics use and bacterial resistance in Jordan: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance represents a significant public health problem worldwide. Irrational use of antibiotics is the main driving factor for the evolution of antimicrobials-resistant organisms. The aim of this study is to evaluate the areas of defects in the knowledge and practices of the community about antibiotic use.
