Key Points

Key PointsNeutrophils mobilized by Am80 display greater bactericidal activity than those by G-CSF. These findings suggest a molecular rationale for developing new therapy for neutropenia by using Am80 as a cost-effective treatment option.

Cost Effective Treatment

<p><em>Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) is the most cost effective treatment option in cases of kidney stones. ESWL uses an energy source called lithotriptor to produce a shock wave that is high in electromagnetic energy in pulses to break down rocks into fine grains of sand and come out naturally with urine. In this study the authors modified the control of the ESWL unit by adding an automatic wave shooting system based on respiration from therapeutic patients using the MPXV7002DP sensor and the ATmega16 microcontroller and applying the 16x2 LCD as a display.</em></p><p><em>The maximum reading capability of this module is 9000 times the active relay, which means that ESWL can shoot as many as 9000 times automatically according to human breathing. This automatic kidney stone therapy module can shoot as many as 3 waves in one breath. Has created a number of inspiration counters and the number of wave shots that ESWL has fired into kidney stone therapy patients.</em></p>

Effective Treatment Option

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of 258N. gonorrhoeaeisolates by Etest determined that 60.1% were MDR while 5% strains had decreased susceptibility to currently recommended extended-spectrum cephalosporins (ESCs). Among these, 84.5% MDR and 76.9% strains having decreased susceptibility to ESCs were susceptible to gentamicin. No MDR isolate was resistant to gentamicin. Thesein vitroresults suggest that gentamicin might be an effective treatment option for the MDR strains and in dual therapy for gonorrhea. However, further research regarding the clinical treatment outcomes is essential.
