Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease: A Delphi Consensus Study.
medRxiv
August 2024
"Aldo Ravelli" Center for Neurotechnology and Experimental Brain Therapeutics, Department of Health Sciences, University of Milan, Via Antonio di Rudinì 8, 20142 Milan, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- The evolution of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is shifting from conventional methods to adaptive techniques (aDBS), which are expected to become standard practice in the next decade, similar to past advancements in cardiac pacing.
- Research involving 21 experts highlighted the challenges and potential of aDBS, showing consensus on its safety and effectiveness compared to conventional DBS, particularly for Parkinson's Disease patients with motor fluctuations and dyskinesias.
- Further studies are necessary to refine the algorithms used in aDBS, ensuring its widespread and effective use in clinical settings.
Patterns of community antibiotic use with reference to the AWaRe classification of the World Health Organization.
JAC Antimicrob Resist
August 2024
Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA), Rome, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates antibiotic use in Italy's community settings and compares prescription patterns across regions by evaluating quality indicators to identify variability in antibiotic consumption.* -
- In 2021, Italy's overall antibiotic consumption was 15.6 DDDs per 1000 inhabitants per day, with a notable increase from the northern to southern regions, while only three out of 21 regions met the WHO's AWaRe guideline for appropriate antibiotic use.* -
- A significant negative correlation was found between regional antibiotic consumption and the percentage of 'Access group' antibiotics prescribed, suggesting that as total antibiotic use increases, the proportion of recommended antibiotics decreases.*
