TL;DR: The current study provides a much-needed baseline model for low- and middle-income countries and provides a “one health” perspective to which future data can be added, and produces global maps of AMR in LMICs to give policy-makers—or a future international panel—a baseline for monitoring AMR levels in animals and target interventions in the regions most affected by the rise of resistance.

TL;DR: In this paper, two carbons were used: CAC obtained by chemical activation with K 2 CO 3, and CPAC prepared by a two-step method, chemical activation and steam activation.

TL;DR: The removal of a widespread used drug from water was investigated using high valuable carbon adsorbents obtained from chemical and physical activation of a bioresource and a municipal waste, and it is pointed out that ibuprofen retention is favored in activated carbons with basic surface properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, the incorporation of several natural antioxidants, both oil and water based, in the chitosan matrix and to evaluate the effect on the physical properties of the resulting biopolymers.

TL;DR: The role of travel in the international dissemination of antimicrobial resistance is reviewed and actions at the levels of travelers, travel medicine practitioners, and policymakers that would mitigate this threat are considered.
