BACKGROUND:Meropenem exhibits time-dependent antimicrobial activity and prolonged infusion (PI) (extended infusion or continuous infusion, EI or CI) of meropenem can better achieve pharmacodynamics target when comparing with intermittent bolus (IB).However, the clinical outcomes between two groups remain inconclusive.OBJECTIVE:To evaluate current p
Microwave-Absorbing Catalysts in Catalytic Reactions of Biofuel Production
Catalytic reactions in producing biofuels often face issues such as low product yield, low selectivity to preferred products and serious environmental issues which leads to the exploration of Defrost Element green technologies.Microwave technology is one of the green technologies that is widely applied in the field such as medical, food, signal pro
Midwife-led birthing centres in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Uganda: an economic evaluation of case study sites
Introduction Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality rates will require the expansion and strengthening of quality maternal health services.Midwife-led birth centres (MLBCs) are an alternative to hospital-based care for low-risk pregnancies where the lead professional at the time of birth is a trained m
Dynamic Characteristics and Chloride Resistance of Basalt and Polypropylene Fibers Reinforced Recycled Aggregate Concrete
Fiber polymer has been extensively used to improve the mechanical properties and durability of concrete.However, the studies of the effect of fiber polymer on the dynamic performance of recycled aggregate concrete Monopod (RAC) is still very limited.In this study, we prepared two types of RAC formulations: RAC reinforced with basalt fibers (BFs) an
Bacterial fitness in chronic wounds appears to be mediated by the capacity for high-density growth, not virulence or biofilm functions.
While much is known about acute infection pathogenesis, the understanding of chronic infections has lagged.Here we sought to identify the genes and functions that mediate fitness of the pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa in chronic wound infections, and to better understand the selective environment in wounds.We found that clinical isolates from chron
