In our study, in the clonal association analysis performed by isolating VREfm in rectal swab samples, it was found that 88.8% of the samples were indistinguishably similar, and that the increase in the number of VREfm infections after the index case in our hospital was associated with the epidemic. VREfm infections cause long-term hospitalization, costs and also deaths, which shows the seriousness of the event, and the importance of the combination of epidemiological and molecular analysis in epidemic research.

Journal: Eradicate Helicobacter pylori first, or treat peptic ulcer disease? (Pubmed Central) - Dec 25, 2023 The sequence of H. pylori eradication and peptic ulcer disease treatment does not significantly affect the primary outcomes. Patient gender and the choice of antibiotic combination are important factors in H. pylori eradication, whereas peptic ulcer disease type plays a key role in ulcer healing.

In the present study, we rapidly identified P. otitidis using MALDI-TOF MS and switched from carbapenems to an appropriate antimicrobial therapy, resulting in a successful outcome.

Journal: In situ sonochemical synthesis of flower-like N-graphyne/BiOClBr microspheres for efficient removal of levofloxacin. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 18, 2023 The improved photocatalytic activity is attributed to the enhanced visible light response and the accelerated transfer/separation of photogenerated carriers by N-graphyne, which are verified using UV-vis absorption spectra, photocurrents, photopotentials, Nyquist plots, and Mott-Schottky curves. This study develops a new perspective for the synthesis and modification of BiOX solid solution, which can be used as an efficient photocatalyst.

We retrospectively reviewed 191 patients treated with autologous CAR T cell products (idecabtagene vicleucel, ciltacabtagene autoleucel, tisagenlecleucel, axicabtagene ciloleucel, brexucabtagene autoleucel, lisocabtagene maraleucel) at Mount Sinai Hospital from April 2017 until February 2023...Levofloxacin as prophylaxis was given to 35% (60/170). These results suggest that judicious use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and limited infectious workup may be considered in clinically stable and non-neutropenic patients with CRS occurring during the pre-specified period post CAR T cell infusion.

Review, Journal: Fluoroquinolone prophylaxis in patients with neutropenia at high risk of serious infections: Exploring pros and cons. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 11, 2023 The debate surrounding fluoroquinolone prophylaxis calls for individualized risk assessment based on patient characteristics and local AMR patterns, and prophylaxis should be restricted to patients at the highest risk of serious infection during the highest risk periods to ensure that the risk-benefit analysis is in favor of individual and community benefit. More research is needed to address important unanswered questions about fluoroquinolone prophylaxis in neutropenic patients with cancer or receiving HSCT.

Both groups did not experience significantly different perioperative and postoperative adverse reactions (P>0.05). For lumbar brucellosis spondylitis with neurological injury, quadruple perioperative chemotherapy of rifampicin, doxycycline, levofloxacin and ceftriaxone can significantly reduce perioperative inflammation, and improve low back/leg pain, as well as promoting neurological function recovery in the short term.
