WHO
Antimicrobial resistance is a global crisis that threatens a century of progress in health and achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. There is no time to wait. Unless the world acts urgently, antimicrobial resistance will have disastrous impact within a generation. Because the drivers of antimicrobial resistance lie in humans, animals, plants, food and the environment, a sustained One Health response is essential to engage and unite all stakeholders around a shared vision and goals.

Researchers at the University of Bristol have made new progress in understanding how cannabinoid receptors (CB1Rs), the proteins that detect the active components of marijuana, are controlled in the brain.
The brain contains about 100 billion nerve cells that are constantly communicating with one another at specialized junctions called synapses. Nerve cells possess extensions called axons, which send signals to synapses, and dendrites, which receive information from synapses.

If plants are injured, cells adjacent to the wound fill the gaps with their daughter cells. However, which cells divide to do the healing and how they manage to produce cells that match the cell type of the missing tissue has been unclear. Scientists from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria have now shown that to correctly replace dead cells, neighbors to the inside of the wound reactivate their stem cell programs.

Increasing the duration of antimicrobials postoperatively not only increases the risk of adverse events, but it does not reduce infection rates, according to a new study published in JAMA. In a multicenter, national retrospective cohort study of 79,058 patients within the national Veterans Affairs health care system, investigators found that prolonging antimicrobial prophylaxis beyond the 24 hours recommended by national guidelines after cardiac, orthopedic total joint replacement, colorectal and vascular procedures lead to an increased risk of C-diff infection and higher odds of acute kidney injury.

According to data presented at the 29th European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, held in Amsterdam recently, a combination dose of ceftolozane/tazobactam is noninferior to meropenem for treating nosocomial pneumonia. ASPECT-NP was a randomized, controlled, double-blind, multicenter, noninferiority trial comparing ceftolozane/tazobactam with meropenem for ventilated nosocomial pneumonia.

With more and more common medications losing their ability to fight dangerous infections, and few new drugs in the pipeline, the world is facing an imminent crisis that could lead to millions of deaths, a surge in global poverty and an even wider gap between rich and poor countries, the United Nations warned in a recent report. Drug-resistant infections already claim 700,000 lives a year, including 230,000 deaths from drug-resistant tuberculosis, the report said.

Influenza activity in the U.S. remains elevated above the national baseline as flu season winds down. The key to avoiding infection lies with the flu shot, which reduces the risk of illness by 40-60% among the overall population, according to recent studies. The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia implemented a mandatory influenza vaccine policy 10 years ago for all health care employees unless they had a medical or religious exemption.
