TL;DR: The independent risk factors associated with mortality were evaluated with a multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression and infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 was confirmed by real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction assay of nasopharyngeal swabs.

TL;DR: Although the pharmacodynamic parameters that better predict the efficacy of colistin are not known in humans, in critically ill adult patients the IV administration of CMS 2 million International Units (174 mg) q8h results in apparently suboptimal plasma concentrations ofcolistin, which is undetectable in BAL.

TL;DR: During linezolid treatment, clinical signs improved dramatically, with both complete clinical resolution and normalization of CSF findings in all patients, and findings indicate that the severity of meningeal inflammation could influence penetration of lineZolid into the brain and the CSF.

TL;DR: Investigating whether 24 h exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields similar to those emitted by mobile phones induces genotoxic effects and/or effects on cell cycle kinetics in cultured human peripheral blood lymphocytes provided no evidence for the existence ofgenotoxic or cytotoxiceffects in the range of SARs investigated.

TL;DR: The overall results showed that DNA damage induced in pre-meiotic germ cells is detectable in primary spermatocytes and is still present in mature spermatozoa.
