Cases at the jail declined while cases in Chicago increased.
Aggressive intervention strategies coupled with widespread diagnostic testing of detained and staff populations can limit introduction and mitigate transmission of SARS-CoV-2 infection in correctional and detention facilities.

Australian residential aged care facilities (RACFs) are encouraged to participate in an annual Aged Care National Antimicrobial Prescribing Survey. This data source was analysed to describe patterns of topical antimicrobial prescribing and thereby provide insight into antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) changes that might be required.
2018 and 2019 survey data was analysed.
The overall prevalence of the 52,431 audited residents (629 facilities) who were prescribed 1 or more topical antimicrobials was 2.9%. Of all prescribed antimicrobials (n=4899), 33.0% were for topical application. Most frequently prescribed topical antifungals were clotrimazole (85.3%) and miconazole (9.1%), and antibacterials chloramphenicol (64.1%) and mupirocin (21.8%). Tinea (38.3%) and conjunctivitis (23.8%) were the 2 most common indications. Topical antimicrobials were sometimes prescribed for pro re nata administration (38.8%) and greater than 6 months (11.3%). The review or stop date was not always documented (38.7%).
To reduce the possibility of adverse consequences associated with antimicrobial use, antimicrobial stewardship programs in Australian residential aged care facilities should at least ensure mupirocin is appropriately used, first line antimicrobial therapy is prescribed for tinea, chloramphenicol is prescribed for conjunctivitis only if necessary, pro re nata orders for prescriptions are discouraged and to avoid prolonged duration of prescriptions, review or stop dates are always documented.

To determine maternal and neonatal outcomes among women undergoing second stage emergent cesarean delivery (ECD) versus vacuum-assisted delivery (VAD) of low birthweight neonates.
A retrospective cohort study from two tertiary medical centers. We included women who underwent either ECD or VAD during the second stage of labor, and delivered neonates with a birthweight of <2500 g during 2011-2019. Characteristics and outcomes were compared between the groups. The primary outcome was the rate of a composite adverse neonatal outcome, defined as the presence of ≥1 of the following Apgar 5min<7, respiratory distress syndrome, neonatal intensive care unit admission, mechanical ventilation and intrapartum fetal death.
The study cohort included 611 patients, of whom 46 had ECD and 565 had VAD. Baseline characteristics did not differ between the groups. The rate of Apgar score<7 at 1min was higher among the ECD group]10 (22%) vs. 29 (5%), OR (95% CI) 5.1 (2.3-11.3), p<0.001[. Other neonatal and maternal outcomes were similar in both groups.
Neonatal and maternal outcomes do not differ substantially between ECD and VAD of neonates weighing <2500 g. This information may be useful when contemplating the preferred mode of delivery in this setting.

Its potential to cause pharmacokinetic interactions with concurrently administered drugs is unknown. To study the time course of the effect of resiquimod in LS180 cells as a model for intestinal tissue, luciferase-based reporter gene assays and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction were used to investigate whether resiquimod affects the activities of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-ĸB), pregnane x receptor (PXR) or the transcription of selected central genes for drug disposition (cytochrome P-450 isozyme 3A4 (CYP3A4), CYP1A1, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1), ATP-binding cassette transporters ABCC2, ABCB1). Its impact on the activities of organic anion transporting polypeptides 1 or 3 (OATP1B1/3), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), P-glycoprotein (P-gp) or CYP3A4 was evaluated using fluorescence- or luminescence-based activity assays. Resiquimod irrelevantly increased NF-ĸB activity after 2 h (1 µM 1.07-fold, P = 0.0188; 10 µM 1.09-fold, P = 0.0142), and diminished it after 24 h (1 µM 0.64-fold, P less then 0.0001; 10 µM 0.68-fold, P less then 0.0001) and 30 h (10 µM 0.68-fold, P = 0.0003). Concurrently, PXR activity after 24 h was marginally increased by 10 µM (1.05-fold, P = 0.0019). Resiquimod did not alter mRNA expression levels, activities of uptake or efflux transporters, or CYP3A4 activity. Given the marginal effects on NF-ĸB, PXR, expression levels of selected PXR target genes, and activities of important drug transporters and CYP3A4 in vitro, resiquimod is not expected to cause major pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions in vivo.A new isoform of human manganese superoxide dismutase (SOD) has been recently isolated and obtained in a synthetic recombinant form and termed rMnSOD. As compared to other SODs, this isoform exhibits a dramatically improved cellular uptake and an intense antioxidant and antitumoral activity. Unfortunately, its use is severely hampered as this active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in solution suffers from remarkable instability, which realizes as an interplay of unfolding and aggregation phenomena. This leads the API to be ineffective after three weeks only when stored at 4°C. A formulation strategy was undertaken to mitigate this instability. This was based on the incorporation of the API in hyaluronic acid and its layer-by-layer deposition over a chitosan-n-acetyl cysteine- monolayer nanoemulsion (NE) and its subsequent coverage with a further external interface of a chitosan-n-acetyl cysteine. see more The obtained constructs were tested over a selected panel of healthy and cancerous cell lines. The undertaken formulation strategy enhanced the API's effect in vitro already at time zero, maintaining the efficacy of this anticancer agent until up to 30 weeks when stored at 4°C.
