AI Article Synopsis
- A study compared the effectiveness and safety of ceftaroline fosamil (ceftaroline-F) and ceftobiprole medocaril (ceftobiprole-M) for treating infections in hospitalized patients in Spain.
- Ceftaroline-F was found to be given to younger patients and associated with higher rates of severe infections like bacteremia and infective endocarditis, while ceftobiprole-M was more often used for polymicrobial and Gram-negative infections.
- Both antibiotics had similar infection-related mortality rates and dropout rates due to side effects, but patients on ceftaroline-F had longer hospital stays.
Article Abstract
Background: To compare the real-life effectiveness and safety of ceftaroline fosamil (ceftaroline-F) and ceftobiprole medocaril (ceftobiprole-M) for infections in hospitalized patients.
Methods: This comparative, observational, retrospective, and multicenter Spanish study included patients receiving outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) and hospitalized patients treated for at least 48 h with ceftaroline-F or ceftobiprole-M between their first incorporation in the clinical protocol of each hospital and 31 July 2022.
Results: Ceftaroline-F was administered to 227 patients and ceftobiprole-M to 212. In comparison to the latter, ceftaroline-F-treated participants were younger (63.02 vs. 66.40 years, OR 1.1; 95%CI: 1.001-1.05) and had higher rates of septic shock (OR 0.27; 95%CI: 0.09-0.81) and higher frequencies of targeted (57.7 vs. 29.7%; OR: 0.35; 95%CI: 0.18-0.69) and combined (89.0 vs. 45.8%, OR: 0.13; 95%CI: 0.06-0.28) therapies that were second line or more (82.4% vs. 64.6%%; OR 0.35; 95%CI: 0.18-0.69), and higher rates of infections due to Gram-positive cocci (92.7 vs. 64.7%, = 0.001), bacteremia (51.9 vs. 21.7%, = 0.001), infective endocarditis (24.2 vs. 2.4%, = 0.0001), and mechanical ventilation-associated pneumonia (8.8 vs. 2.4%, = 0.0001). Ceftobiprole-M was more frequently administered against polymicrobial infections (38.1 vs. 14.0%, = 0.001), those produced by Gram-negative bacilli (19.7 vs. 6.0%, = 0.0001), nosocomial pneumonia (33 vs. 10.6%, = 0.0001), and skin and soft-tissue infections (25.4 vs. 10.1%, = 0.0001). Patients treated with ceftaroline-F had a longer hospital stay (36 (IQR: 19-60) vs. 19.50 (IQR: 12-30.75, = 0.0001) days), with no difference in infection-related mortality at 14 (13.2 vs. 8.0%, = 0.078) or 28 (4.8 vs. 3.3%, = 0.415) days or in dropout rate for adverse effects (2.2 vs. 0.9%; = 1).
Conclusions: The fifth-generation cephalosporins, ceftaroline-F and ceftobiprole-M, are safe and effective in real life, with no difference between them in health outcomes.

Trigger finger (TF), also known as stenosing flexor tenosynovitis, is a common pathology of the fingers causing functional deficit of the hand. In recent years, new therapeutic approaches such as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and ultrasound-guided (USG) procedures have joined the most traditional conservative treatments as the adaptation of daily activities involving the affected hand and the orthosis. Likewise, the ultrasound (US) examination of the affected finger using modern high-frequency probes has progressively become part of the comprehensive assessment of patients with TF coupled with the medical history, the physical examination, and the functional scales.

Purpose: This study aims to accurately predict the effects of hormonal therapy on prostate cancer (PC) lesions by integrating multi-modality magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the clinical marker prostate-specific antigen (PSA). It addresses the limitations of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in capturing long-range spatial relations and the Vision Transformer (ViT)'s deficiency in localization information due to consecutive downsampling. The research question focuses on improving PC response prediction accuracy by combining both approaches.

Objective: Cognitive-motor dual-tasking training (CMDT) might improve limb function and motor performance in stroke patients. However, is there enough evidence to prove that it is more effective compared with conventional physical single-task training? This meta-analysis and Trial Sequential Analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of CMDT on balance and gait for treating hemiplegic stroke patients.
Methods: The databases were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Ovid Database and The Cochrane Library, SinoMed database, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wan Fang database, and VIP database up to December 8, 2023.
Efficacy and safety of low-intensity ultrasound therapy for myofascial pain syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Rehabilitation Medicine Center and Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, PR China.
Background: Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) is a common pain disorder characterized by the presence of trigger points within the muscles or fascia. Low-intensity ultrasound therapy, as a noninvasive modality, has indeed found application in the management of MPS, but its efficacy for myofascial pain syndrome has still been controversial. The objective of this systematic review was to assess the safety and efficacy of low-intensity ultrasound therapy for MPS.
