AI Article Synopsis
- The 39th ASM ICAAC Meeting attracted over 16,000 attendees and showcased over 600 reports on late-stage development antibacterials and resistance emergence.
- The presentations emphasized established antibacterial classes like quinolones, beta-lactams, protein synthesis inhibitors, and carbapenems as the most discussed topics.
- Quinolones, particularly moxifloxacin, gatifloxacin, and gemifloxacin, were the most frequently presented, while the new class, oxazolidinones, with Linezolid, also received attention.
Article Abstract
The 39th ASM ICAAC Meeting, attended by over 16,000 delegates, highlighted numerous late-stage development antibacterials. The presentation of over 600 reports (posters, symposia and oral presentations) regarding resistance emergence underscores the evolving landscape of antibiotic susceptibility worldwide. Although bacterial genomic efforts are slowly expanding the potential sources of novel targets, the established antibacterial classes, including quinolones, beta-lactams, protein synthesis inhibitors and carbapenems, were most prevalent among the presentations. Quinolones dominated this conference, with many presentations of moxifloxacin (> 72 presentations), gatifloxacin (> 66 presentations) and gemifloxacin (> 59 presentations). The new class of antibacterials, the oxazolidinones, represented by Linezolid, was also highlighted.

Scant Evidence for Long-Range Atmospheric Transport of Particle-Bound Benzotriazole Ultraviolet Stabilizers.
Environ Sci Technol
January 2025
Department of Physical and Environmental Sciences, University of Toronto Scarborough, 1265 Military Trail, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M1C 1A4.
Despite benzotriazole UV stabilizers (BT-UVs) being widely used since the 1960s, few empirical data on their atmospheric presence exist. UV-328 was added to the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, based in part on model calculations indicating atmospheric long-range transport potential. We investigated the atmospheric occurrence of BT-UVs at multiple sites that differ greatly in their proximity to potential sources.

Background: The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) sparked significant health concerns worldwide, prompting policy makers and health care experts to implement nonpharmaceutical public health interventions, such as stay-at-home orders and mask mandates, to slow the spread of the virus. While these interventions proved essential in controlling transmission, they also caused substantial economic and societal costs and should therefore be used strategically, particularly when disease activity is on the rise. In this context, geosocial media posts (posts with an explicit georeference) have been shown to provide a promising tool for anticipating moments of potential health care crises.

Background: Health worker migration from Nigeria poses significant challenges to the Nigerian health care sector and has far-reaching implications for health care systems globally. Understanding the factors driving migration, its effects on health care delivery, and potential policy interventions is critical for addressing this complex issue.
Objective: This study aims to comprehensively examine the factors encouraging the emigration of Nigerian health workers, map out the effects of health worker migration on the Nigerian health system, document the loss of investment in health training and education resulting from migration, identify relevant policy initiatives addressing migration, determine the effects of Nigerian health worker migration on destination countries, and identify the benefits and demerits to Nigeria of health worker migration.
Clozapine for Treatment-Resistant Disruptive Behaviors in Youths With Autism Spectrum Disorder Aged 10-17 Years: Protocol for an Open-Label Trial.

Graduate Program of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Department of Psychiatry, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Porto Alegre, Brazil.
Background: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition emerging in early childhood, characterized by core features such as sociocommunicative deficits and repetitive, rigid behaviors, interests, and activities. In addition to these, disruptive behaviors (DB), including aggression, self-injury, and severe tantrums, are frequently observed in pediatric patients with ASD. The atypical antipsychotics risperidone and aripiprazole, currently the only Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments for severe DB in patients with ASD, often encounter therapeutic failure or intolerance.
