BACKGROUND: Telephone hotlines in infectious diseases (ID) are part of antimicrobial stewardship programs designed to provide support and expertise in ID and to control antibiotic resistance. The aim of the study was to characterize the activity of the ID hotlines and estimate their usefulness for general practitioners (GPs). METHODS: This was a multicenter prospective observational study in different French regions. ID teams involved in antimicrobial stewardship with a hotline for GPs were asked to record their advice from April 2019 to June 2022...

Discrete-trial training (DTT) is a common method of instruction used in early intervention amongindividuals with autism spectrum disorder and related neurodevelopmental disorders and is an effective method of teaching different skills such as tacting, listener responding, and matching. Delivery of effective reinforcers is a key component of DTT. Although general recommendations have been made for effective reinforcement delivery in DTT, no review has synthesized the available research on the efficiency of various reinforcer parameters on efficiency of acquisition...

Introduction. In 2018, EUCAST released guidelines on rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (RAST) directly from positive blood culture bottles for selected bacterial species and antimicrobial agents, but not for the commonly used agents amoxicillin/clavulanate (AMC) and ampicillin/sulbactam (SAM). Hypothesis/Gap statement . This work addresses the Enterobacterales RAST capability gap for betalactam/betalactamase inhibitor combinations. Aim. We aimed to determine RAST breakpoints for AMC and SAM for Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae after 4 and 6 h of incubation directly from positive blood cultures...

In Brazil, the mosquito Aedes ( Stegomyia ) aegypti is considered the main vector of the dengue, chikungunya, and Zika arbovirus transmission. Recent epidemiological studies in southern Brazil have shown an increase in the incidence of dengue, raising concerns over epidemiological control, monitoring, and surveys. Therefore, this study aimed at performing a historical spatiotemporal analysis of the Ae. aegypti house indices (HI) in southern Brazil over the last 19 years. As vector infestation was associated with climatic and environmental variables, HI data from the Brazilian Ministry of Health, climate data from the Giovanni web-based application, and environmental data from the Mapbiomas project were used in this study...

Determinants of oral diseases include behaviors, which in turn are influenced by a series of social determinants such as psychosocial aspects and dental care services. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate whether depressive symptoms and use of dental care services mediate the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and oral health behaviors. This was a cross-sectional study that analyzed data from participants in the 2019 National Health Survey (PNS) (n = 88,531). The eligibility criteria were individuals who were 18 years and older and exclusion criterion was living in households located in special or sparsely populated census tracts...

The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of dental visits due to toothache and tooth extraction in Brazil and its association with individual and contextual variables. This two-step cross-sectional study included persons aged 18 years and older in the 2019 National Health Survey who had visited a dentist in the 12 months prior to the interview (n = 40,369). The individual-level outcome was having a dental visit due to toothache or tooth extraction. The ecological-level outcome was the proportion of dental visits for these reasons relative to all dental visits by Brazilian state...

BACKGROUND: The worldwide incidence of invasive breast cancer in women is increasing according to several studies. This increase in incidence seems to be higher in young women (< 40 years). However, the reasons for this trend are poorly understood. This article aims to provide the most recent estimates of this trend and assess whether there is indeed an increase in the incidence of breast cancer among young women to strengthen prevention campaigns. METHODS: We collected data from the Isere cancer registry in France of all invasive breast cancers from January 1990 to December 2018...

The global spread of antibiotic-resistant strains, and the need to protect the microflora from non-specific antibiotics require more effective and selective alternatives. In this work, we demonstrate for the first time a superior antibacterial photothermal effect of plasmonic gold nanorods (AuNRs) via their incorporation onto natural clay halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), which were functionalized with anti- E. coli antibodies (Ab-HNTs). AuNRs were incorporated onto the Ab-HNTs through a facile freeze-thaw cycle, and antibody integrity following the incorporation was confirmed via infrared spectroscopy and fluorescence immunolabeling...

Sensitive detection of biomarkers is very critical in the diagnosis, management, and monitoring of diseases. Recent efforts have suggested that bioassays using surface-enhanced Raman scattering as a signal read-out strategy possess certain unique beneficial features in terms of sensitivity and low limits of detection which set this method apart from its counterparts such as fluorescence, phosphorescence, and radiolabeling. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has also emerged as an ideal choice for the development of multiplexed bioassays...

A surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) method for the determination of isepamicin (ISE) using silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) protected by bovine serum albumin (BSA) and modified by α-Fe2 O3 as an efficient substrate was established. The synthesized substrate was characterized and verified by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The conditions affecting the Raman signal of ISE were optimized by single factor and response surface experiments...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: We explore the anatomy of the central and peripheral autonomic pathways involved in primary headache as well as the mechanisms for secondary headache associated with disorders of the autonomic nervous system. The prevalence and clinical presentation of cranial and systemic autonomic symptoms in these conditions will be discussed, with a focus on recent studies. RECENT FINDINGS: Several small studies have utilized the relationship between headache and the autonomic nervous system to identify potential biomarkers to aid in diagnosis of migraine and cluster headache...

Background: Prison-based hepatitis C treatment is safe and effective; however, many individuals are released untreated due to time or resource constraints. On community re-entry, individuals face a number of immediate competing priorities, and in this context, linkage to hepatitis C care is low. Interventions targeted at improving healthcare continuity after prison release have yielded positive outcomes for other health diagnoses; however, data regarding hepatitis C transitional care are limited...

This study characterises maternal mortality in southern Brazil and verifies its trends between 2000 and 2018. It is an ecological time-series study, analysing secondary data from the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System. The trend of the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) was calculated using generalised linear regression, and the ratios of the rates according to women's characteristics, with a confidence interval (CI) of 95%. The MMR in the South region went from 53.4 to 36.8 deaths per 100,000 live births from 2000 to 2018, a reduction trend of 1...
