background: excessive use of antibiotic growth promoters leaded in the creation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and by consuming animal products, humans are at risk of receiving their residual. therefore, instead of using antibiotics as growth promoters, some alternatives must be identified and introduced to animal breeders. objectives: the purpose of this research was to study the effect of a...

A 62-year-old diabetic woman suffering from high fever was admitted to our hospital. She had a lower abdominal phantom tumor and hyperglycemia. The results of urine analysis showed hematuria and bacteriuria. X-ray and computed tomography revealed gas accumulation in the wall of the bladder. Escherichia coli was identified in urine culture. On the basis of the lack of urine output and the identi...

The growth kinetics of Helicobacter pylori after it has been exposed to amoxicillin have been investigated in conjunction with studies of cell morphology. A potent bactericidal effect was observed at concentrations 10-fold higher than the MIC, but this was accompanied by an increase in the residual numbers of coccoid forms observed. In the presence of 10 micrograms of amoxicillin per ml, these ...

The effect of optimized maternal therapy by bactericidal agents was evaluated in a reproducible rabbit model of Escherichia coli maternofetal infection simulating human pharmacokinetics. Intravenous antibiotic therapy was begun in the pregnant rabbit 12 h after bacterial intrauterine inoculation, using a computer-controlled pump to simulate human pharmacokinetics of ceftriaxone (1 g/day) associ...

purpose: to evaluate residual refractive errors after cataract surgery and its determinant factors at farabi eye hospital, tehran. methods: simple random sampling was done among cataract surgery scheduled patients over a 4 year period (2003-2006). exclusion criteria were uveitis, previous intraocular surgery and ocular trauma. after applying the exclusion criteria, 423 patients were studied. le...

background: induction chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia achieves complete remis sion in over 90% of children. it is apparent therefore that many patients in clinical remission and with out residual disease detectable by conventional light microscopy of peripheral blood or bone marrow films still harbor viable cells of the original disease mrd analysis does have a useful role to play...

Abstract Veterinary antibiotics (VAs) administered to livestock are introduced into the soil through manure and compost. These can run off surface water or leach groundwater during rainfall, causing problems such as antibiotic contamination occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In this study, an analytical method for detecting four classes VAs (penicillin, tetracyclines, macrolides, sulf...

Abstract Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi and Paratyphi have been imputed in the causation of enteric fever. Cardiovascular extraintestinal infections documented among immunocompromised individuals. Rarely these pathogens are ascribed immunocompetent hosts due to hematogenous seeding. We report a case anterior chest wall abscess with osteomyelitis an adult by paratyphi A without any prior pred...

Pituitary abscesses are infrequent entities, often forgotten and hence rarely included in the differential diagnosis of sellar lesions. However, given that they share clinical manifestations other more common pathologies this region, treatment pituitary is usually performed correctly without demonstrating a relevant delay therapeutic decisions when surgical options considered as alternative cho...

BACKGROUND Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are a major primary care challenge in children because they are common and costly, there is uncertainty regarding their diagnosis, prognosis, and management, and the overuse of antibiotics leads to illness medicalisation and bacterial resistance. AIM To investigate healthcare professional (HCP) diagnostic and antibiotic prescribing decisions for ...
