  • Antimicrobial resistance is a growing concern, largely due to improper antibiotic use, storage, and re-use by residents of Saudi Arabia, leading to serious health risks.
  • A study surveyed 738 participants across various demographics, revealing that while most understood the purpose of antibiotics, a significant number reused leftover medications without completing prescribed courses.
  • Findings suggest a need for enhanced public health measures and education to address the misuse of antibiotics, especially among families with children.

Article Synopsis
  • Wheeler proposes a new method to handle inapplicable characteristics in phylogenetic analysis by treating feature absences as insertion/deletion events within a broader context, leading to dynamic homology.
  • This approach can erroneously consider different character states (like head and foot) as homologous and is sensitive to the character ordering, which may result in different phylogenetic trees.
  • The authors argue that removing the character ordering assumption aligns the dynamic homology framework with established methods in the field, specifically reducing it to known analyses that effectively address inapplicable characters.
