Objective: Evaluate Department of Defense (DoD) antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) by assessing the relationship between key clinical outcome metrics (antibiotic use, incidence of resistant pathogens, and incidence of infections) and CDC Core Element (CE) adherence.
Design: Retrospective, cross-sectional study of DoD hospitals in 2018 and 2021.
Methods: National Healthcare Safety Network Standardized Antimicrobial Administration Ratios (SAARs) were used to measure antibiotic use and microbiology results to evaluate four types of pathogen incidence.

Objectives: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) with endotherapy (ET) is the first-line treatment in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) and main pancreatic duct stone (PDS). Our study aimed to evaluate factors that predict the outcome of ESWL in CP patients with PDS.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data of 166 patients with CP and radiopaque PDS.

Background And Aims: Better understanding the challenges faced by patients on medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), including methadone and buprenorphine, is critical to increasing their use/retention. Social media platforms such as Reddit offer a space for patients to share their experiences with medications. We aimed to identify and characterize challenges faced by patients taking MOUD through analysis of discussions from the r/Methadone and r/suboxone subreddits.

Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) is the successive multiple-access methodologies for modern communication devices. Energy Efficiency (EE) is suggested in the NOMA system. In dynamic network conditions, the consideration of NOMA shows high computational complexity that minimizes the EE to degrade the system performance.

Background: Breast cancer, a highly prevalent global cancer, poses significant challenges, especially in advanced stages. Prognostic models are crucial to enhance patient outcomes. Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) within the tumor microenvironment have been associated with better prognostic outcomes.
