BACKGROUND Both typical and atypical bacteria can cause community-acquired pneumonia (CAP); however, the need for empiric atypical coverage remains controversial. Our objective was to evaluate the impact of antibiotic regimens with atypical coverage (a fluoroquinolone or combination of a macrolide/doxycycline with a β-lactam) to a regimen without atypical antibiotic coverage (β-lactam monothera...

background: despite the effective pre- and post-exposure treatments, at least 60,000 deaths from rabies occur worldwide every year. post-exposure treatment is considered as one of the most significant measures for preventing human deaths in exposed individuals. the 2-1-1 rabies post-exposure treatment schedule known as zagreb regimen is an abbreviated immunization plan in which a tissue culture...

Free radical generation is increasingly implicated in a variety of pathological processes, including drug toxicity. Recently, a number of studies have demonstrated the ability of gentamicin to facilitate the generation of radical species both in vivo and in vitro, which suggests that this process plays an important role in aminoglycoside-induced ototoxicity. Free radical scavengers are compound...

To determine the impact of initial antimicrobial choice on 30-day mortality rate in patients with community-acquired pneumonia due to Streptococcus pneumoniae (CAP-SP), a prospective, observational study was conducted in 35 Spanish hospitals. A total of 638 patients with CAP-SP were identified. Antimicrobials were chosen by the attending physician. Patients were grouped into the following categ...

abstract the limitation of water sources in most places all over the world, especially in arid and semi-arid lands is an important issue for those who live in these areas. many governments have dedicated their efforts toward finding new water resources to obtain water. fog and cap clouds harvesting are one of the candidate methods to produce pure water. many countries including chile, peru, ecu...

BACKGROUND Few studies describe the community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) burden in children in Asia. We estimated the proportion of all CAP hospitalizations in children from nine hospitals across the Republic of Korea (high-income), Indonesia, Malaysia (middle-income), and Vietnam (low/middle-income). METHODS Over a one or two-year period, children <5 years hospitalized with CAP were identified...

Algal biorefinery process utilizes every component of algal biomass to produce multiple useful fuel products. In this technique, acid pretreatment of algal biomass hydrolyzes microalgal carbohydrates into fermentable sugars, makes lipids more extractable and a protein part accessible for additional products. In the present study, Chlorella sorkiniana produced higher quantity of biodiesel than B...

No comparative effectiveness study has been conducted for the following 3 antibiotics: respiratory uoroquinolone, b-lactam, and blactam þ advanced macrolide. To gain insights into the real-world clinical effectiveness of these antibiotics for community-acquired pneumonia in adult outpatients, our study investigated the treatment failure rates in 2 million representative participants from the Na...
