Rapid RSV tests linked to less antibiotic prescribing in kids

An Italian study finds an RSV-positive rapid antigen test in children aged nine to 36 months was associated with a 48% reduced risk of receiving an antibiotic.

Impfverhalten in Deutschland: Erste Ergebnisse des Impress-Projekts RKI-Befragung: Viele Menschen wissen um die Wirksamkeit von Impfungen, zeigen jedoch Unsicherheiten bei z.B. Impfmythen. Forschende: teils bedenkliche Befunde.

Das Projekt #IMPRESS des @rki.de untersucht die Impfakzeptanz in der Bevölkerung in Deutschland. HZI-Epidemiologin Berit Lange ordnet die ersten Ergebnisse der Befragung ein und kommentiert, welche Studiendaten in Deutschland fehlen. via @sciencemediacenter.de.

»Masern, Grippe, COVID-19, … – die meisten Infektionskrankheiten verbreiten sich über die Luft, die wir atmen. Wir akzeptieren einfach, dass sich jeder in Innenräumen ansteckt. Das muss nicht so sein. Raumluftfilterung sollte genauso selbstverständlich sein wie Wasserfilterung. Punkt.«

Ströck feiert Weltfrauentag mit Spendeninitiative: Gemeinsam gegen ME/CFS Am Weltfrauentag wird eine Tasse Kaffee zum starken Zeichen der Solidarität – und zu einem wichtigen Impuls für Sichtbarkeit, Bewusstsein und Perspektiven für Menschen mit ME/CFS.

Für die Kaffeeliebhaber*innen im Raum #Wien: am 08. März gäbe es wieder die Möglichkeit, dank der Familie Ströck, Kaffee für den guten Zweck & die @weandme.bsky.social zu trinken. ☕😉

Trends in the minimum inhibitory concentrations for four agents against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in bloodstream infections in China: a 6-year multi-center study from 2017 to 2022

Trends in the minimum inhibitory concentrations for four agents against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in bloodstream infections in China: a 6-year multi-center study from 2017 to 2022

A multicenter China study shows #MRSA bloodstream isolates are becoming less sensitive to #vancomycin but more sensitive to #linezolid, while daptomycin and teicoplanin stay stable, highlighting shifting #antimicrobialsusceptibility.

Can Infections Drive Frailty?

Yes! A history of infections may accelerate the rate of frailty progression, and has an independent effect with frailty on increasing the risk of death. 🧵

Figure 1 from paper:
Characteristic features of lyme arthritis in different mouse strains after Borrelia burgdorferi infection. (A) X-ray examination of the hind limb joints on day 14 after infection to assess soft tissue edema in the joints. The upper row is the infection group, and the lower row is the PBS control group. (B) H&E-stained joint tissue on day 14 post-infection demonstrates inflammatory cell infiltration and tissue edema. Orange arrows mark pronounced synovial cell hyperplasia with structural disorganization. Green arrows indicate extensive connective tissue proliferation replacing native architecture. Purple arrows designate scattered necrotic cellular debris. Yellow arrows identify focal bone erosions. Blue arrows show dense inflammatory cell infiltration throughout joint tissue. Red arrows highlight isolated inflammatory cells within joint space. The left panels are at 4× magnification, while the right panels are magnified at 20×, showcasing detailed enlargements of specific regions within the 4× images. Scale bars: 200 μm at 4× magnification, and 50 μm at 20× magnification. (C) Dynamic changes in the diameter of the rear ankle joints of mice (C3H and C57BL/6) within 56 days after infection. The diameter of the joint of the hind limb was measured weekly using a digital caliper, and the results are expressed as mean ± standard error (n = 6/group, *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 compared to C57BL/6 control group, #P < 0.05 and ##P < 0.01 compared to C3H control group). (D) Pathological severity scores in H&E-stained joint tissue from C3H and C57BL/6 mice (*P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01). Regarding the rectangular areas detected by the forensic tools, this is attributable to our utilization of whole slide imaging in pathology, which constructs digital imaging by stitching together square fields of view and supports free magnification from 0× to 400×. Blank areas within the scanning range (where there is no tissue on the slide) are identified as a white background.
