Virtual reality exposure (VRE) has been shown to be effective for treating a variety of anxiety disorders, including social phobia. Presence, or the level of connection an individual feels with the virtual environment, is widely discussed as a critical construct both for the experience of anxiety within a virtual environment and for a successful response to VRE. Two published studies show that ...

BACKGROUND Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) bloodstream infection (BSI) is generally associated with the delayed administration of adequate antibiotics. The identification of risk factors and outcomes of VRE BSI is necessary for establishing strategies for managing neutropenic fever in patients with hematological malignancies. METHODS We retrospectively analysed consecutive cases of en...

conclusions the results showed that enterococci are common contaminants in food. indeed, this study indicates a high prevalence of multidrug-resistant enterococci in food of animal origin in iran. isolating some persisting enterococcal isolates revealed that continuous surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in enterococci from food is essential. materials and methods thirty samples of meat, c...

BACKGROUND Vancomycin resistant enterococcus (VRE) is a major cause of nosocomial infections in the United States and may be associated with greater morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs than vancomycin-susceptible enterococcus. Current guidelines for the control of VRE include prudent use of vancomycin. While vancomycin exposure appears to be a risk factor for VRE acquisition in individua...

Enterococci are part of the normal human flora. Enterococcus faecalis und Enterococcus faecium are the most common species isolated from human infections. Vancomycinresistant enterococci (VRE) have emerged as a major cause of nosocomial infection as early as 1986 [1]. 10 years later, >15% of nosocomial enterococcal infections in United States hospitals were due to VRE, and even higher in intens...

In Europe, electrification is considered a key option to obtain cleaner production of steel at the same time as electricity system portfolio expected consist an increasing share varying renewable (VRE) generation, mainly in form solar PV and wind power. We investigate cost-efficient designs hydrogen-based steelmaking systems dominated by VRE. develop apply linear cost-minimization model with ho...

Vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) are high priority nosocomial bacteria with a potential for zoonotic transmission. Thus, its emergence outside health establishments is major concern. In order to study the prevalence of VRE in wildlife, we collected 221 faecal samples from free-ranging Hooded Crow (Corvus cornix) urban and rural habitats Hungary, March August 2020. The screening was done u...

Bloodstream infections due to vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE-BSI) result in substantial patient mortality and cost. Daptomycin and linezolid are commonly prescribed for VRE-BSI, but there are no clinical trials to determine optimal antibiotic selection. We conducted a systematic review for investigations that compared daptomycin and linezolid for VRE-BSI. We searched Medline from 1966 th...
