New antibiotic-beta lactamase inhibitor combination pushes back the looming threat of antibiotic resistance

28 Sep 2021 by

A new antibiotic-beta lactamase combination has been approved for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infection (cIAI) in combination with metronidazole, complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI) including pyelonephritis, and hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) including ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).

Endoscopic vein harvesting avoids risks linked to conventional technique in CABG

28 Sep 2021 by

A coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is typically used to treat coronary heart disease. It bypasses the blocked portion of the coronary artery with a piece of a healthy blood vessel from elsewhere in the body. These vessels are commonly taken from the leg or the wrist.

Exaggerated BP response to exercise predicts stroke

27 Sep 2021

The risk of stroke increases with growing difference between resting and maximal exercise systolic blood pressure (SBP), independent of BP at rest, according to a study. This suggests that an exaggerated BP response to physical exercise is independently predictive of stroke.

Lung function more stable but death risk higher in advanced IPF patients on antifibrotics

27 Sep 2021

Patients with advanced idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) at the time of initiation with nintedanib or pirfenidone demonstrate more stable lung function over time, but substantially higher risk of death, compared to those with mild-to-moderate IPF, according to the results of a recent study.

Abnormal STE myocardial function prevalent in women with HELLP syndrome history

27 Sep 2021

The rate of abnormal speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) myocardial function is high during the first years following a pregnancy complicated by haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets (HELLP) syndrome, regardless of whether there was concomitant pre-eclampsia (PE), reveals a study.

Olanzapine a favourable alternative to dexamethasone for CINV

27 Sep 2021 by

Olanzapine administered at a dose of 5 mg was noninferior to dexamethasone and is associated with fewer adverse effects than dexamethasone for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV), according to data presented at ESMO 2021.
