Background: This study aimed to identify factors associated with antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) in patients in the department of intensive care medicine who received antibiotic monotherapy in order to reduce the incidence of AAD and improve rational use of antibiotics in these patients.
Aim: To report the incidence of AAD and the factors associated with AAD in patients receiving antibiotic monotherapy.
Methods: The study used a single-center retrospective design. A total of 209 patients were enrolled. Patients were divided into two groups: No-AAD group (without AAD) and AAD group (with AAD). There were 45 cases in the AAD group and 164 cases in the no-AAD group. Clinical data of all patients were collected. Data were analyzed using SPSS (version 18.0), and statistical significance was set at < 0.05.
Results: The overall incidence of AAD was 21.53%. Age [odds ratio (OR) 1.022, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.001-1.044, = 0.040], proton pump inhibitor usage time (OR 1.129, 95%CI: 1.020-1.249, = 0.019), antibiotic usage time (OR 1.163, 95%CI: 1.024-1.320, = 0.020), and intensive care unit (ICU) stay time (OR 1.133, 95%CI: 1.041-1.234, = 0.004) were associated with AAD in ICU patients receiving antibiotic monotherapy. mean ± SD ICU stay time was lower in the no-AAD group (8.49 ± 6.31 15.89 ± 10.69, < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in ICU-related mortality rates between the two groups ( = 0.729).
Conclusion: Older age, longer ICU stay time, duration of use of proton pump inhibitors, and duration of antibiotic increase the incidence of AAD in ICU patients receiving antibiotic monotherapy.

Background: This study investigated the impact of posaconazole (POSA) prophylaxis in COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory failure receiving systemic corticosteroids on the risk for the development of COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA).
Methods: The primary aim of this prospective, multicentre, case-control study was to assess whether application of POSA prophylaxis in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients reduces the risk for CAPA development. All consecutive patients from centre 1 (cases) who received POSA prophylaxis as standard-of-care were matched to one subject from centre 2 and centre 3 who did not receive any antifungal prophylaxis, using propensity score matching for the following variables: (i) age, (ii) sex, (iii) treatment with tocilizumab and (iv) time at risk.

Background: Excessive tachycardia is associated with impaired hemodynamics and worse outcome in critically ill patients. Previous studies suggested beneficial effect of β-blockers administration in ICU patients, including those with septic shock. However, comparisons in ICU settings are lacking.

Purpose: Synchronous esophageal (EC) and rectal carcinoma (RC) is a rare and challenging condition, particularly in curative-intended treatment. Especially locally advanced tumors may not be suitable for primary resection and require individual multimodal treatment. This review examines curative-intended management of synchronous EC and RC.

Purpose Of Review: The purpose of this review is to outline considerations for treating older adults with rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) as it relates to infection, comorbidities, cancer, and quality of life.
Recent Findings: The recent 2023 American College of Rheumatology/American College of Chest Physicians guideline conditionally recommended specific disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), antifibrotics, and short-term glucocorticoids to treat RA-ILD. Since RA-ILD often affects older adults, we contextualize these pharmacologic options related to infection, gastrointestinal (GI) effects, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and quality of life.
