Objective: To assess the effectiveness of a 3-question decision-support tool to guide the diagnosis and treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in acute care hospitalized patients as an antibiotic and diagnostic stewardship initiative.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Four acute care hospitals within the same health system in Miami, FL.
Article Synopsis
- - A new bacterial isolate named A520 was discovered from the skin of the bandtail puffer fish in Brazil, characterized as Gram-negative, flagellated, and aerobic, with optimal growth conditions at 25-30 °C and 3% salt.
- - The genome of A520 has a size of 4.5 Mb, containing 4082 coding genes, and shows high similarity (97.9%) to the bacteria Pseudoalteromonas shioyasakiensis, indicating it may belong to a related lineage.
- - This novel species, named Pseudoalteromonas simplex sp. nov., exhibits unique phenotypic features and contains gene clusters for bioactive compounds that may relate to the ecological interactions
Hydrogels are often synthesized through photoinitiated step-, chain-, and mixed-mode polymerizations, generating diverse network topologies and resultant material properties that depend on the underlying network connectivity. While many photocrosslinking reactions are available, few afford controllable connectivity of the hydrogel network. Herein, a versatile photochemical strategy is introduced for tuning the structure of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels using macromolecular monomers functionalized with maleimide and styrene moieties.

- Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral infection affecting livestock, leading to significant economic losses worldwide.
- The study aimed to create more effective monoclonal antibody-based blocking ELISAs (mAb-bELISAs) for detecting antibodies against specific FMDV serotypes, in comparison to traditional polyclonal antibody-based assays.
- The developed mAb-bELISAs demonstrated high diagnostic specificity and sensitivity for FMDV serotypes O, A, Asia1, and SAT2, outperforming existing methods and showing potential for widespread use in disease detection.
