How to detect NDM-1 producers.
Enterobacterial isolates expressing the carbapenemase NDM-1 are emerging worldwide. Twenty-seven NDM-1-positive isolates of worldwide origin were included in this study to identify these strains as not only pathogens but also colonizers of normal flora for infection control screening. Although susceptibility to carbapenems varied, a combined test (IMP/IMP + EDTA), the Etest MBL, and automated s...
متن کاملHigh Prevalence of New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase-1 (NDM-1) Producers among Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae in Kuwait
The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of New Delhi metallo-β lactamase-1 (NDM-1) producing Enterobacteriaceae in Kuwait over a one year period. Consecutive Enterobacteriaceae isolates with reduced susceptibility to carbapenems were collected from four government hospitals in Kuwait from January-December 2014. Their susceptibility to 18 antibiotics was performed by determining the...
متن کاملHow to detect atrial fibrosis
In the last twenty years, new imaging techniques to assess atrial function and to predict the risk of recurrence of atrial fibrillation after treatment have been developed. The present review deals with the role of these techniques in the detection of structural and functional changes of the atrium and diagnosis of atrial remodeling, particularly atrial fibrosis. Echocardiography allows the det...
متن کاملHow to Detect Ca Quarks
Nearly 2 decades ago, local Ca 2 release events during diastole were first observed and named Ca sparks.1 These were originally attributed to large releases from single ryanodine receptor (RyR) channels.1 Subsequently, Lipp and Niggli proposed that Ca sparks could be the summation of smaller releases recruited from within the same cluster and coined the term calcium quarks.2 Arduous experiments...
متن کاملHow to Detect an Android
A number of prominent researchers in Artificial Intelligence look forward to a time when androids will co-exist with humans. In such a world the question ‘Can machines think?’ will be answered in the affirmative, if it is asked at all. A far more pressing problem will be whether androids can be differentiated from humans in some way. It is argued that an undetectable android cannot be manufactu...
