Journal: Efficient activation of persulfate with bismuth tungstate in dark for degradation of organic pollutants. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 14, 2025 Herein, the flower-like orthorhombic BWO was synthesized using a simple hydrothermal method, followed by an evaluation of its catalytic activity in dark through the removal of aqueous organic dye rhodamine B and antibiotic levofloxacin in PS based AOPs...Moreover, cyclic experiments reveal the moderate phase and structural stability of BWO in terms of activating PS and the BWO/PS system still can remove rhodamine B exceeding 80% in actual waters. The work provides a new candidate for PS activation and highlights the applicability of conventional bismuth compounds in PS based AOPs system for wastewater treatment without additional energy input.

Journal: PEN-FAST-ED: Utilizing the PEN-FAST decision tool to guide antibiotic prescribing in the emergency department. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 14, 2025 In this prospective, observational study, administration of beta-lactam antibiotics to ED patients with previously reported penicillin allergies and a PEN-FAST score less than 3 did not result in any immune-mediated reactions. The PEN-FAST decision tool was able to safely identify and risk-stratify eligible patients for beta-lactam rechallenge in the ED.

Acute Interstitial Nephritis and Acute Tubular Injury Associated with Novel Drugs for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Avutometinib and Adagrasib () - Mar 13, 2025 - Abstract #NKFSCM2025NKF_SCM_612; A kidney biopsy on 9/20/2024 showed moderate AIN, ATI, and mild fibrosis. Ultrastructural studies revealed myelin-like inclusions in podocytes, mesangial areas, and the cytoplasm of tubular cells, likely related to the new therapy.Results Avutometinib and Adagrasib were withheld, and the patient was treated with corticosteroids, resulting in improvement of kidney function to baseline.Conclusion This is the first case report of AKI due to AIN and ATI following the use of Avutometinib and Adagrasib for NSCLC, highlighting their potential renal side effects.

Without a definitive diagnosis, she was prescribed acetaminophen and levofloxacin and discharged...The patient was diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease, specifically Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome (FHCS), and treated with ceftriaxone and minocycline...This case highlights the need for careful clinical evaluation and consideration of FHCS in patients presenting with right upper quadrant pain, especially when laboratory findings and imaging studies do not support biliary disease. A thorough history including symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease, such as lower abdominal pain and vaginal discharge, is also necessary to accurately diagnose FHCS.

Journal: Skin-Inspired and Self-Regulated Hydrophobic Hydrogel for Diabetic Wound Therapy. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 10, 2025 Inspired by the structure and function of the skin, we herein delicately design a novel swollen hydrophobic hydrogel (QL@MAB) composed of hydrophobic methyl acrylate (MA) and (3-acrylamidophenyl)boronic acid (AAPBA) network and co-loaded with antioxidant quercetin (Q) and antibiotic levofloxacin (L) for efficient diabetic wound therapy...In the infected diabetic rats, QL@MAB achieves rapid wound debridement and re-epithelization while promoting angiogenesis, hair follicle regeneration, and extracellular matrix remodeling. Taken together, this study not only represents a multipronged dressing for effective interventions of diabetic wounds but also contributes to the rational design of smart hydrogels tailored for biomedical applications.

Clinical, Retrospective data, Review, Journal: Effectiveness and safety of levofloxacin in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia: A systematic review and meta analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 27, 2025 The literature was evaluated to have a low risk level and a high reference value. The results of meta analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the clinical cure rate, microbiologic (bacteriologic) success rate, adverse event rate and mortality rate between the study group and the control group (P>0.05).As a result of the study, it was concluded that: levofloxacin has significant efficacy and safety in the treatment of CAP, and other antimicrobial drugs (e.g., moxifloxacin) have comparable efficacy and higher safety than levofloxacin, which provides a more diversified solution for the treatment of CAP.
