is identified as an emerging pathogen worldwide. It is multidrug resistant and causes invasive healthcare-associated infections. Our retrospective study was conducted to determine the prevalence and epidemiology of infections in a tertiary care hospital in Jaipur. 24 clinical strains were included, most being from urine. The majority patients needed intensive care and had at least one underlying co-morbid condition. A history of broad-spectrum antibiotic or antifungal usage was present in 85%. Fluconazole, voriconazole, amphotericin B and 5-fluorocytosine resistance was seen in 96, 42, 33 and 8% isolates respectively. No echinocandin resistance was noted.

Background And Objectives: Despite growing interest in how patient frailty affects outcomes (eg, in neuro-oncology), its role after transsphenoidal surgery for Cushing disease (CD) remains unclear. We evaluated the effect of frailty on CD outcomes using the Registry of Adenomas of the Pituitary and Related Disorders (RAPID) data set from a collaboration of US academic pituitary centers.
Methods: Data on consecutive surgically treated patients with CD (2011-2023) were compiled using the 11-factor modified frailty index.

Importance: Surgeon stress can influence technical and nontechnical skills, but the consequences for patient outcomes remain unknown.
Objective: To investigate whether surgeon physiological stress, as assessed by sympathovagal balance, is associated with postoperative complications.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This multicenter prospective cohort study included 14 surgical departments involving 7 specialties within 4 university hospitals in Lyon, France.

Importance: Perioperative bleeding is common in general surgery. The POISE-3 (Perioperative Ischemic Evaluation-3) trial demonstrated efficacy of prophylactic tranexamic acid (TXA) compared with placebo in preventing major bleeding without increasing vascular outcomes in noncardiac surgery.
Objective: To determine the safety and efficacy of prophylactic TXA, specifically in general surgery.
