Abstract

COVID-19, the worst public health emergency in a decade, has had a profound impact on people's mental health. Universities in Pakistan have reopened, although it is uncertain how to prevent secondary damage to students as a result of the reopening. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress among students following the reopening of universities after the COVID-19 first wave. Furthermore, gender differences in depression, anxiety, and stress were also investigated, as well as the predictive value of CGPA in depression, anxiety, and stress. The sample was (N=360) university students. Data was collected from the two cites of Pakistan. The DASS-21 was used to assess levels of depression, anxiety, and stress among students (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995). SPSS version 21 was used to analyze the data. Results indicated that the level of psychological distress has increased among university students due to the reopening of universities. Findings revealed significant differences in depression and anxiety levels based on the three academic disciplines. In addition, male students showed significantly higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress than female students and CGPA significantly and negatively predicted depression and stress. Based on the findings of this study, it is suggested that thorough and targeted psychological interventions for students' mental health should be established, particularly in high-risk cities and during the COVID-19 pandemic late phases.

Abstract

Treatment options for Achromobacter xylosoxidans are limited. Eight cystic fibrosis patients with A. xylosoxidans were treated with 12 cefiderocol courses. Pretreatment in vitro resistance was seen in 3 of 8 cases. Clinical response occurred after 11 of 12 treatment courses. However, microbiologic relapse was observed after 11 of 12 treatment courses, notably without emergence of resistance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

19. CYP51A polymorphisms of Aspergillus fumigatus in lung transplant recipients: Prevalence, correlation with phenotype, and impact on outcomes.

Abstract

Azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus is increasing worldwide and can affect prognosis. It is mostly mediated by cytochrome P51 (CYP51) mutations. In lung transplant recipients (LTR), little is known regarding the prevalence and clinical impact of CYP51 mutations. One hundred thirty-one consecutive A. fumigatus isolates from 103 patients were subjected to CYP51A genotyping through PCR and sequencing. Antifungal susceptibility testing was performed using the Sensititre YeastOne YO-9© broth microdilution technique. Correlations between genotype, phenotype, clinical manifestations of Aspergillus infection, and clinical outcomes were made. Thirty-four (26%) isolates harbored mutations of CYP51A; N248K (n = 14) and A9T (n = 12) were the most frequent. Three isolates displayed multiple point mutations. No significant influences of mutational status were identified regarding azole MICs, the clinical presentation of Aspergillus disease, 1-year all-cause mortality, and clinical outcomes of invasive forms. In the specific context of lung transplant recipients, non-hotspot CYP51A-mutated isolates are regularly encountered; this does not result in major clinical consequences or therapeutic challenges. Lay Summary In 131 isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus isolates originating from 103 lung transplant recipients, the CYP51A polymorphism rate was 26%, mostly represented by N248K and A9T mutations. These mutations, however, did not significantly impact azoles minimal inhibitory concentrations or clinical outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

23. Prediction of Failure in Vancomycin-Treated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureusBloodstream Infection: a Clinically Useful Risk Stratification Tool

Author

Abstract

ABSTRACTMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) is a common cause of bloodstream infection (BSI) and is often associated with invasive infections and high rates of mortality. Vancomycin has remained the mainstay of therapy for serious Gram-positive infections, particularly MRSA BSI; however, therapeutic failures with vancomycin have been increasingly reported. We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the factors (patient, strain, infection, and treatment) involved in the etiology and management of MRSA BSI to create a risk stratification tool for clinicians. This study included consecutive patients with MRSA BSI treated with vancomycin over 2 years in an inner-city hospital in Detroit, MI. Classification and regression tree analysis (CART) was used to develop a risk prediction model that characterized vancomycin-treated patients at high risk of clinical failure. Of all factors, the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE-II) score, with a cutoff point of 14, was found to be the strongest predictor of failure and was used to split the population into two groups. Forty-seven percent of the population had an APACHE-II score < 14, a value that was associated with low rates of clinical failure (11%) and mortality (4%). Fifty-four percent of the population had an APACHE-II score ≥ 14, which was associated with high rates of clinical failure (35%) and mortality (23%). The risk stratification model identified the interplay of three other predictors of failure, including the vancomycin MIC as determined by Vitek 2 analysis, the risk level of the source of BSI, and the USA300 strain type. This model can be a useful tool for clinicians to predict the likelihood of success or failure in vancomycin-treated patients with MRSA bloodstream infection.
