Department of Neurosurgery, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT 06510, USA. Electronic address:
Background: The health and well-being of refugees are critically compromised by harsh living conditions, which foster the emergence of infectious diseases and the misuse of antimicrobial agents. This multicentre cross-sectional community-based study investigated the prevalence of urine carriage of bacteria and the associated antimicrobial resistance patterns among Syrian refugees living in makeshift camps in Lebanon, an East Mediterranean country.
Methods: We used multivariable logistic regression models to identify the risk factors associated with bacteriuria in this vulnerable population.

Background: Accurate diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) in children continues to be challenging, primarily due to the low bacterial load characteristic of the disease and the obstacles in collecting sputum samples. Furthermore, detecting cases of latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) infection (LTBI) that have a high risk of progressing to active TB disease remains a significant diagnostic hurdle.

Department of Social Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Crete, Heraklio, Crete, Greece.
Background: Nursing home (NH) residents are frequently treated with antibiotics for urinary tract infections (UTIs), often due to overdiagnosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the proportion of potentially unnecessary antibiotic use for suspected UTIs in NHs across eight European countries.
Research Design And Methods: Over a three-month period (February to April 2024), NH professionals recorded information on all antibiotic treatments for UTIs using a specific registration chart.
Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Pregnancy: A Systematic Review of the Reported Cases.
Clin Med Insights Endocrinol Diabetes
January 2025
Department of Metabolism, Digestion and Reproduction, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London, UK.
Background: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a rare but serious complication that can develop during pregnancy, with up to 30% of patients presenting with euglycemia, making prompt recognition challenging. It is associated with increased perinatal mortality rates, although the exact risk of maternal mortality remains unclear. The purpose of this systematic review was to examine the available literature and provide an overview of reported cases of DKA during pregnancy.

Department of Geriatrics, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Background And Objectives: Pneumonia portrays a critical health concern in geriatrics. Geriatric pneumonia can lead to changes on other complications, in which hypoalbuminemia is a common complication. However, few studies have looked at the impact of pneumonia on the course of hypoalbuminemia and predicting.
