The CDC has declared C. auris as an urgent Antifungal Resistant (AR) Threat Candida auris, C. auris, is a type of fungus that causes severe infections and is spread very easily, especially through healthcare facilities and equipment. ...
Clinical manifestations include keratoconjunctivitis, upper respiratory tract infection and miscarriage, and upper respiratory tract infection is the main symptom. Cats of all ages can be affected, mainly affecting young cats, and the incidence rate can reach 100%. Adult cats are mostly resistant to infection, and young cats have ...
In most cases, a tuberculosis infection in a healthy individual would be inactive (this is known as the latent phase infection) but can progress to cause a potentially fatal disease if the immune system weakens for any reason. ...
Autologous vein is preferable but requires time to harvest and may not be available. Synthetic grafts are poorly resistant to infection and associated with thrombotic complications. Recognizing this capability gap, the US Combat Casualty Care Research Program has partnered with academia and industry to support the development and clinical introduction of a ...

This case study discusses hospital readmissions and provides healthcare professionals with recommended medical algorithms in the form of scores, models, and calculators that can aid in reducing readmissions, especially when related to antibiotic resistant microbiological pathogens. When health analytics, such as the CDC antibiotic resistance program and other algorithms are integrated into ...
