Consuming and Thinking About Nangs: A Survey of Nitrous Oxide Use, Knowledge, Attitudes and Perceptions in Aotearoa New Zealand.
J Psychoactive Drugs
January 2025
Department of Psychology, University of Otago, Ōtepoti/Dunedin, Aotearoa, New Zealand.
Non-medical use of nitrous oxide (NO) is becoming increasingly popular globally, yet little data exists regarding NO in Aotearoa New Zealand. We aimed to explore patterns of use and harm in those who consume NO in Aotearoa, and related knowledge, perceptions and attitudes of those with and without NO experience. A convenience sample of people with NO experience ( = 466) and without ( = 510) completed an online survey about NO.

Department of Paediatrics and Child Health, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Stellenbosch University, PO Box 241, Cape Town, 8000, South Africa.
Background: Neonatal sepsis is a leading cause of death in low- and middle- income countries (LMIC). Increasing antibiotic resistance in early onset (< 72 h of life) bloodstream infection (EO-BSI) pathogens in LMIC has reduced the effectiveness of the recommended empiric antibiotic regimen (ampicillin plus gentamicin).
Methods: We retrospectively analysed blood culture-confirmed EO-BSI episodes at nine neonatal units from three central and six peripheral hospitals in the Western Cape Province, South Africa between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2018.
A framework towards implementation of sequencing for antimicrobial-resistant and other health-care-associated pathogens.
Lancet Infect Dis
January 2025
Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA, USA.
Antimicrobial resistance continues to be a growing threat globally, specifically in health-care settings in which antimicrobial-resistant pathogens cause a substantial proportion of health-care-associated infections (HAIs). Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and the analysis of the data produced therein (ie, bioinformatics) represent an opportunity to enhance our capacity to address these threats. The 3rd Geneva Infection Prevention and Control Think Tank brought together experts to identify gaps, propose solutions, and set priorities for the use of NGS for HAIs and antimicrobial-resistant pathogens.

Health Expect
February 2025
Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Amsterdam UMC Location University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Introduction: The ethical obligation to reduce the environmental impact of healthcare systems prompts an exploration of if and when environmental concerns should be integrated into clinical decision-making. In this study, we aimed to elucidate patients' attitudes regarding the provision of environmental information in healthcare decision-making and to identify preferred approaches for integrating these considerations into patient-provider consultations.
Methods: This interview study served as an in-depth follow-up of a survey study on gynaecological patients' perspectives on environmental sustainability within healthcare settings.
[Expert consensus on neuropsychological assessment for mild cognitive impairment (2025 edition)].
Zhonghua Yi Xue Za Zhi
January 2025
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a state of objective cognitive decline that falls between normal aging and dementia, with a high prevalence among the elderly in China. Cognitive impairments in MCI patients involve multiple cognitive domains such as memory, language, attention, executive, visuospatial functions, and social cognition, as well as non-cognitive domains such as neuropsychiatric, mood, sleep, daily living activities, and frailty. The assessment and clinical diagnosis of MCI highly rely on neuropsychological testing.
