متن کاملNew update on molecular determinants of colistin resistance in bacteria
Colistin relates to the polymyxin group of antibiotics. This antibiotic is still used to destroy gram-negative bacteria as a last resort.

متن کاملSelenium compounds for fish health: An update
Oxidative stress has become an important subject for terrestrial and aquatic toxicology. The trace element selenium has been demonstrated in chemo-prevention and drug-resistance through reduction of oxidative stress. Selenium compounds could prevent damage to the unsaturated fatty acid of subcellular membranes by lipid peroxidation induced by free radicals in fish.
متن کاملAsbestos-related Lung Diseases: A Brief Update
Health risks from asbestos exposures have been evaluated, considering past professional histories when exposures at workplaces were higher than today. A linear no-threshold (LNT) model has been applied, although its relevance is unproven. Fibers are often found in the lungs and pleura of deceased people. Fiber findings do not prove that a disease is caused by asbestos. It is reasonable to assum...
متن کاملUpdate on colistin in clinical practice.
Considerable progress has been made in the last decade towards better understanding of the optimal clinical use of colistin. It has become evident that higher intravenous (iv) colistin methanesulfonate (CMS) doses are important, probably with the addition of a loading dose in critically ill patients. Higher CMS doses lead to increased risk of nephrotoxicity, which seems reversible in most cases...
