Article Synopsis
  • - Treatment of multidrug resistant infections is tough because there aren't many effective antibiotics available, prompting the use of specialized strategies by pharmacists.
  • - A two-part approach is used: in vitro antibiotic combination testing and therapeutic drug monitoring to tailor treatment, similar to precision medicine.
  • - This method showed promising results in two patients with hard-to-treat Acinetobacter baumannii infections, using higher-than-recommended doses without causing any negative side effects.

In this study, Zophobas morio protein (ZMP) was extracted via combining alkaline extraction with ultrasound-assisted (AE-UAE) or microwave-assisted (AE-MAE) extraction in comparison with their respective single extraction methods and conventional method. AE-UAE and AE-MAE exhibited a higher extraction yield (40.68 % and 36.

Background: Pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures present considerable surgical challenges due to the difficulty of achieving proper fracture alignment and stable fixation while avoiding injury to the ulnar nerve. This study assesses the biomechanical performance of a novel Kirschner wire (K-wire) fixation device (KFD), designed to enhance stability and reduce complications linked to traditional K-wire configurations.

Methods: Using finite element analysis (FEA), we evaluated four fixation strategies for treatment of pediatric supracondylar humeral simple transverse fractures: crossed pin fixation, crossed pin fixation with KFD, two lateral pin fixation, and two lateral pin fixation with KFD, under various mechanical loads.
