Objective: The failure mode and effect analysis of the prevention and control in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with multi-drug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infection were explored and analyzed in this research.
Methods: A total of 251 critically ill patients who were hospitalized in the ICU from June to December 2019 were selected as the control group, and another 258 patients who were hospitalized in the ICU from January to June 2020 were set as the observation group. The control-group patients received conventional ICU care, the observation group was treated by the failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), and then the prevention and control effect of the two nursing modes on multi-drug-resistant bacteria infection in the two groups were compared accordingly.
Results: The RPN values of the five highest-level factors in the nursing process were critically lower after the improved interventions than before the improvement. The infection rate of MDR bacteria in the observation group was obviously lower than that in the control group (14.73%, 26.69%, =11.1233, P=0.0009). In addition, the mortality rate of patients with MDR in the observation group was remarkably lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (5.26%, 22.39%, =5.2405, P=0.0221). The satisfaction of the observation group with the ICU treatment was critically higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (89.53%, 76.49%, =15.4094, =0.0001).
Conclusion: Through the application of FMEA to prevent MDR bacterial infection in ICU patients, nursing staff can accurately pay attention to the keynotes in nursing process, and as such reduce the proportion and mortality of MDR infection in ICU patients and promote the patients' satisfaction with nursing, which are all worthy of clinical application.

Leishmania presents a complex life cycle that involves both invertebrate and vertebrate hosts. By regulating gene expression, protein synthesis, and metabolism, the parasite can adapt to various environmental conditions. This regulation occurs mainly at the post-transcriptional level and may involve epitranscriptomic modifications of RNAs.

Leaf dry matter content (LDMC) is an important determinant of plant flammability. Investigating global patterns of LDMC could provide insights into worldwide plant flammability patterns, informing wildfire management. We characterised global patterns of LDMC across 4074 species from 216 families, revealing that phylogenetic and environmental constraints influence LDMC.

Introduction: Lorecivivint (LOR), a CDC-like kinase/dual-specificity tyrosine kinase (CLK/DYRK) inhibitor thought to modulate inflammatory and Wnt pathways, is being developed as a potential intra-articular knee osteoarthritis (OA) treatment. The objective of this trial was to evaluate long-term safety of LOR within an observational extension of two phase 2 trials.
Methods: This 60-month, observational extension study (NCT02951026) of a 12-month phase 2a trial (NCT02536833) and 6-month phase 2b trial (NCT03122860) was administratively closed after 36 months as data inferences became limited.
This retrospective observational multicentre cohort study compared the rate of postoperative cystoid macular oedema (CME) between two intraocular lens (IOL) scleral fixation (SFIOL) techniques: a flanged IOL fixation technique (Yamane technique) and a suture IOL transscleral fixation technique (conventional technique). The study included 207 eyes with postoperative CME that had undergone SFIOL and were observed for > 12 weeks between January 2019 and January 2021. The primary endpoint was a comparison of the rate of postoperative CME at 3 months between groups.

Background: Early neurological deterioration (END) is associated with a poor prognosis in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Effectively lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) can improve the stability of atherosclerotic plaque and reduce post-stroke inflammation, which may be an effective means to lower the incidence of END. The objective of this study was to determine the preventive effects of evolocumab on END in patients with non-cardiogenic AIS.
