e defined and implemented in order to reduce it to less than 30 min so as to guarantee efficient care. Further studies are needed to assess the quality and efficacy of neonatal transports in Switzerland. National guidelines on the standard of neonatal transport and quality metrics should be established in order to set benchmarks and to improve the quality of the transports.
The European Society of Cardiology recommends beta-blocker prescription after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Evidence for beta-blocker indication depends on the presence of left ventricular dysfunction (left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] <40%, class I level A; LVEF ≥40%, class IIa level B). In clinical practice, beta-blockers should be up-titrated to target doses as long as patients tolerate them. The aim of this study was to assess the patterns of beta-blocker prescription and up-titration after STEMI for one year after hospital discharge.

This observational study included patients admitted to a tertiary hospital for STEMI between April 2014 and April 2016. Patients with beta-blocker contraindications were excluded from the study. The primary outcomes were the patterns of beta-blocker prescription at discharge and at one year post-PCI, and the evolution of beta-blocker doses over the year. Beta-blocker doses were classified as low (<50% of the target dose)-blocker prescription at discharge in both LVEF groups. Omecamtiv mecarbil Finally, patients without any beta-blocker prescription at one year were more likely to have had a short university hospital stay during the index event.

Beta-blocker prescription after STEMI remains prevalent, but most doses are low and up-titration within one year is rare. This raises concern, particularly for patients with LVEFs <40%. Our findings highlight the changes in clinical practice over the last few decades, which corroborate with the latest evidence-based findings.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity. Patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) are at increased risk for both neurologic complications (NC) and OSA. However, the relationship between OSA and SCD complications is unclear. We hypothesized that there would be an association between OSA diagnosis and SCD complications.

Hospital discharge records of patients with SCD aged < 19 years were obtained for the years 1997, 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009, and 2012 from the Kid's Inpatient Database. The primary outcome, NC, a composite of stroke, transient ischemic attack, and seizures. Secondary outcomes included acute chest syndrome (ACS), vaso-occlusive crisis, length of hospital stay, and inflation-adjusted cost of hospitalization. Multivariable regression was conducted to ascertain the association of OSA with primary and secondary outcomes. Analyses were adjusted for the use of noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) to determine its role as NC risk modifier.

There were 203,705 SCD discharges included in the analysis, of which 2,820 (1.4%) and 4,447 (2.2%) also included OSA and NC diagnoses. Multivariable logistic regression indicated that OSA was associated with NC (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 1.50 [95% CI 1.02-2.21], p = 0.039) and ACS (OR, 1.34 [95% CI 1.08-1.67], p = 0.009) in children with SCD. In the multivariable analysis adjusted for NIMV, the significant association between OSA and NC was no longer observed (OR, 1.39 [95% CI 0.94-2.05], p = 0.100).

OSA is associated with a 50% increase of odds of NC in children with SCD in this nationwide dataset. The use of NIMV to treat OSA may modify the risk of OSA-associated NC.

To the best of our knowledge, we describe the first evidence in Europe of an MDR, blaNDM-4-positive Escherichia coli isolated from a food-producing animal, harboured by a novel IncFII plasmid of which we report the complete sequence.

One blaNDM-4-positive E. coli isolated in 2019 from the caecal contents of a fattening pig in Italy was in-depth characterized by combined bioinformatic analysis of Oxford Nanopore long reads and Illumina short reads, for in silico typing, determination of the blaNDM-4 genetic context and full reconstruction of the blaNDM-4-carrying plasmid.

The isolate belonged to ST641 and to the genoserotype O108H23 and tested positive for different virulence genes and plasmid replicons. The MDR phenotype of resistance to all β-lactams, carbapenems, sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim was mediated by blaTEM-1B, blaNDM-4, sul1/sul3 and dfrA12, respectively. The blaNDM-4 gene was harboured by a novel 53 043 bp IncFII plasmid (pMOL412_FII) composed of four main genetic regions, including an Mng genomic data from different sources and geographical areas, may help to trace back and control possible plasmid-borne carbapenemase gene transmission between animals and humans and along the food chain at international level.Converting an acrylic resin removable complete prosthesis into a fixed implant-supported prosthesis to immediately load the implants can be a challenging procedure. Using acrylic resin to secure titanium interim copings intraorally may be a difficult task, and any process to facilitate this procedure may be advantageous for the clinician and the patient. This report describes a technique for facilitating the fabrication of an interim immediately loaded implant-supported fixed complete prosthesis. This technique and the materials used enabled the efficient fabrication and delivery of the prosthesis with an appropriate soft tissue surface and acrylic resin thickness without irritating newly sutured soft tissues.RNA silencing is a major mechanism of constitutive antiviral defense in plants, mediated by a number of proteins, including the Dicer-like (DCL) and Argonaute (AGO) endoribonucleases. Both DCL and AGO protein families comprise multiple members. In particular, the AGO protein family has expanded considerably in different plant lineages, with different family members having specialized functions. Although the general mode of action of AGO proteins is well established, the properties that make different AGO proteins more or less efficient at targeting viruses are less well understood. In this report, we review methodologies used to study AGO antiviral activity and current knowledge about which AGO family members are involved in antiviral defense. In addition, we discuss what is known about the different properties of AGO proteins thought to be associated with this function.
