Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) as one of the three critical priority pathogens. There is scarce literature evaluating the treatment outcomes in patients with CRPA infections treated with traditional non-carbapenem β-lactam (NCBL) agents. Thus, this study aims to assess the effectiveness of traditional NCBL compared to novel β-lactam agents (NVL) for treating non-carbapenem β-lactam -susceptible CRPA.

Background: Loss to follow-up (LTFU) of patients with presumed tuberculosis (TB) before completing the diagnostic process (pre-diagnosis LTFU) and before initiating treatment for those diagnosed (pre-treatment LTFU) is a challenge in the realization of the End TB Strategy. We assessed the proportion of pre-diagnosis and pre-treatment LTFU and associated factors among patients with presumed TB and those diagnosed in the selected health facilities.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study involving a review of routinely collected data from presumptive, laboratory and TB treatment registers from January 2019 to December 2022.

Upon endoscopic identification of the lesion, normal saline is injected into the submucosa to establish a fluid cushion, which elevates the lesion's mucosa. Methylene blue may also be applied to improve visualization of the relationship between the submucosa and muscular layer.

Human adenovirus (HAdV) infections are estimated to account for at least 5% of pediatric ARTIs. The circulated genotypes of HAdV and the correlation between genotype and clinical manifestations in Wuhan, China, before and after the complete relaxation of nonpharmaceutical interventions against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, remain unknown.
