Genome sequences of four Ixodes species expands understanding of tick evolution.
BMC Biol
January 2025
Oniris, INRAE, BIOEPAR, 44300, Nantes, France.
Background: Ticks, hematophagous Acari, pose a significant threat by transmitting various pathogens to their vertebrate hosts during feeding. Despite advances in tick genomics, high-quality genomes were lacking until recently, particularly in the genus Ixodes, which includes the main vectors of Lyme disease.
Results: Here, we present the genome sequences of four tick species, derived from a single female individual, with a particular focus on the European species Ixodes ricinus, achieving a chromosome-level assembly.
Self-reported perceptions of adults with diabetes regarding their care and health in the time of COVID-19 pandemic in a Swiss region: a cross-sectional study.

Obes Surg
January 2025
Department of Surgery and Transplantation, University Hospital of Zurich, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.
Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass may present long-term complications that require revisional surgery or even reversal to normal anatomy. Data on the indications, surgical technique, and outcomes of RYGB reversal remain scarce.
Methods: We identified 48 cases of RYGB reversals with complete 90-day follow-up within a multi-centric international retrospective database of elective secondary bariatric surgery.
Individualization of piperacillin dosage based on therapeutic drug monitoring with or without model-informed precision dosing: a scenario analysis.
J Antimicrob Chemother
January 2025
Service of Clinical Pharmacology, Lausanne University Hospital and University of Lausanne, Rue du Bugnon 17, 1011, Lausanne, Switzerland.
Background: Model-informed precision dosing (MIPD) combines population pharmacokinetic knowledge with therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) to optimize dosage adjustment. It could improve target concentration attainment over empirical TDM, still widely practised for broad-spectrum antibiotics.
Objectives: To evaluate the respective performance of TDM and MIPD in achieving target piperacillin exposure.
