PURPOSE To document the response of mycotic aneurysms to antibiotic therapy and correlate these findings with patient outcome. METHODS Clinical findings, CT studies, and serial cerebral angiograms of patients with endocarditis related aneurysms seen over 10 years were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS In 14 patients infective endocarditis was diagnosed. The patients presented with subarachn...

This study investigated the levels of the antibiotic tetracycline contained in cow milk, goat milk, butterfat, soft cheese and yoghurt samples. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) standard methods were used for the detection and quantification of tetracycline in 40 dairy products samples. All the analysed samples contained residues of tetracycline antibiotics. The mean tetracycline re...

High residual oil content in antibiotic production waste mother liquor makes solid–liquid separation of fermentation residue and wastewater difficult. A yeast-based pretreatment process was established for the removal of oil and promotion of solid–liquid separation in antibiotic production wastewater treatment systems. Six yeast strains acquired from different sources were inoculated into seque...

Animal waste from concentrated swine farms is widely considered to be a source of environmental pollution, and the introduction of veterinary antibiotics in animal manure to ecosystems is rapidly becoming a major public health concern. A housefly larvae (Musca domestica) vermireactor has been increasingly adopted for swine manure value-added bioconversion and pollution control, but few studies ...

An outbreak-causing strain of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium was exposed to groundwater with residual antibiotics for up to four weeks. Representative concentrations (0.05, 1, and 100 μg L(-1)) of amoxicillin, tetracycline, and a mixture of several other antibiotics (1 μg L(-1) each) were spiked into artificially prepared groundwater (AGW). Antibiotic susceptibility analysis and the vi...

The faster growth of aquaculture has ensued in a series of developments harmful to the human and aquatic animal health as well as environment. People are using various prophylactic antibiotics indiscriminately in aquaculture mainly developing countries to prevent different bacterial infections resulting from sanitary shortcomings in fish and shellfish rearing. Also, the abuse of wide variety hu...

aim: the increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a major health-care problem worldwide. who recommends did (daily defined dose/ 100 inhabitant /day) as a standard tool for measurement of antibiotic consumption. since there was not any information regarding the antibiotics usage pattern in the north of iran, the aim of this study was determine this in our centre.method: this cr...

Caucasian woman with a 3.5 cm residual polyp embedded in tissue scar, as a result of three endoscopic piecemeal resection sessions of a 10 cm sessile polyp of the lower rectum, previously diagnosed from biopsy as tubulous−villous adenoma with high−grade dysplasia. The patient was then submitted to en bloc resection with endoscopic submuco− sal dissection (ESD) according to the tech− nique of Ya...

INTRODUCTION Two-stage revision arthroplasty is today considered as the gold standard for control of chronic deep prosthetic infection. Although the revision arthroplasty should only be considered when infection is eliminated, the diagnosis of residual infection prior to the revision remains a challenging problem. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated triple-phase bone scintigraphy as a useful d...

Antibiotics are widely used for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases in medicine veterinary medicine, as well growth stimulants animal husbandry. The presence residual traces antibiotics products, further food products derived from it, poses a danger to both humans environment whole. irrational use agriculture stimulates emergence antibiotic-resistant bacteria that can cause anim...
