Systematic review and meta-analysis of colistin plus meropenem therapy for the treatment of nosocomial pneumonia.
Iran J Microbiol
December 2024
Nosocomial Infection Research Center, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran.
Background And Objectives: Nosocomial pneumonia caused by multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria presents a significant challenge for healthcare systems, as there are limited effective treatments available. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to investigate the outcomes of colistin plus meropenem combination therapy on nosocomial pneumonia.
Materials And Methods: An exhaustive search of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science (WOS), and Embase databases was conducted, resulting in the extraction of 5 studies for qualitative assessment and meta-analysis.
The utility of customised tissue probability maps and templates for patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: a computational anatomy toolbox (CAT12) study.

Department of Behavioural Neurology and Cognitive Neuroscience, Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine, 2-1, Seiryo-machi, Aoba-ku, Sendai, 980-8575, Miyagi, Japan.
Background: Disproportionately enlarged subarachnoid space hydrocephalus (DESH) is one of the neuroradiological characteristics of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), which makes statistical analyses of brain images difficult. This study aimed to develop and validate methods of accurate brain segmentation and spatial normalisation in patients with DESH by using the Computational Anatomy Toolbox (CAT12).
Methods: Two hundred ninety-eight iNPH patients with DESH and 25 healthy controls (HCs) who underwent cranial MRI were enrolled in this study.
Pedicle Screw Pull-Out Strength Between the Jamshidi Needle and Pedicle Probe Techniques in an Osteoporotic Cancellous Bone Model: A Biomechanical Study.
Cureus
November 2024
Aerospace Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, MYS.
Introduction Spinal fusion surgery with pedicle screws is commonly performed to stabilize the spine of osteoporotic patients. However, securing a strong screw fixation in osteoporotic bone presents significant challenges due to the reduced bone density. This study aimed to compare the biomechanical performance in an osteoporotic bone model of pedicle screws inserted using two different techniques, the Jamshidi needle technique and the pedicle probe technique, as well as the influence of tapping on both these techniques.

SAGE Open Med Case Rep
December 2024
Department of Anesthesiology, Showa University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Remimazolam, a short-acting benzodiazepine approved for use in general anesthesia in Japan in 2020, has cardiovascular stability superior to conventional anesthetics. Anesthesia management using remimazolam of a patient with impaired cardiac function and several complications is reported. A man in his 50s with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease (G 5) on dialysis came to our hospital with a chief complaint of exertional dyspnea and chest tightness, and a close examination showed stenoses of three coronary arteries.

State Key Laboratory of Organ Failure Research, Department of General Surgery, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Precision Medicine for Gastrointestinal Tumor, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou 510515, Guangdong Province, China.
Background: Intestinal ischemiareperfusion (I/R) injury (II/RI) is a critical condition that results in oxidative stress, inflammation, and damage to multiple organs. Zinc, an essential trace element, offers protective benefits in several tissues during I/R injury, but its effects on intestinal II/RI remain unclear.
Aim: To investigate the effects of zinc pretreatment on II/RI and associated multiorgan damage.
