Background: Delayed prescription is a strategy used in various countries to reduce antibiotic overuse and contend the effects of antibiotic resistance; however this practice is not yet used in Switzerland. The present qualitative study was thus conducted to investigate Swiss patients' attitudes towards the possible implementation of delayed prescription.

Method: Five focus groups with the general population based on a fixed script of questions to elicit opinions on delayed prescription.

The human brain is a complex spiking neural network (SNN) capable of learning multimodal signals in a zero-shot manner by generalizing existing knowledge. Remarkably, it maintains minimal power consumption through event-based signal propagation. However, replicating the human brain in neuromorphic hardware presents both hardware and software challenges.

The wind-blown sand protection system in the Shapotou section of the Baotou-Lanzhou Railway is a representative artificial ecosystem in a desert region. Over the past 70 years, this system has transformed mobile dunes into fixed dunes through vegetation succession, relying solely on natural rainfall without additional irrigation. However, ecosystem sustainability has been endangered by the emergence of numerous blowouts.

: A large amount of recent evidence suggests that cellular inability to consume oxygen could play a notable part in promoting sepsis as a consequence of mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. The latter could, in fact, represent a fundamental stage in the evolution of the "natural history" of sepsis. Following a study previously conducted by the same working group on heart samples, the present research project aims to evaluate, through an immunohistochemical study, the existence and/or extent of oxidative stress in the brains of subjects who died due to sepsis and define, after reviewing the literature, its contribution to the septic process to support the use of medications aimed at correcting redox anomalies in the management of septic patients.
