Moreover, gut microbiota alpha-diversity and richness significantly decreased in female mice exposed for 14 days to vancomycin (Vanc) or ciprofloxacin-metronidazole (CiMe), while male mice showed reduction in taxon-richness and alpha-diversity only after Vanc treatment (Gao et al., 2019). In de...
In critically ill patients, the susceptibility of the bacteria isolated in a VAP depends on the duration of stay in the ICU and on mechanical ventilation as well as the previous use of antibiotics [3]. VAP has been conventionally classified into early and late onset. Early-onset VAP occurs w...
High-dose vitamin C, for example, can increase the risk of oxalate nephropathy and stone formation due to its breakdown into oxalate [98]. Similarly, high-dose vitamin D supplementation may worsen the risk for stone formation in patients predisposed to hypercalciuria [134]. Additionally, many ...
