Rapid and Practical Screening Method for the Detection of Colistin-Resistant Bacteria in Food. Biomed J Sci & Res We developed a rapid and practical screening method for simultaneously detecting both Escherichia coli and bacteria harboring the mcr-1 colistin resistance gene using high-speed real-time polymerase chain reaction with specific TaqMan probes. The entire procedure, from sample processing to the final result, was performed within 1 h. The practical utility of this method was verified by analyzing 27 retail meat samples for the presence of colistin-resistant bacteria. The results indicated the potential of this method for the convenient and rapid screening of food items to detect contamination with mcr-1 –positive bacteria, which can be especially useful for on-site testing in developing countries.

The presence and distribution of Simulium erythrocephalum 1776) in the Valencian Autonomous Region is analyzed, an arthropod of medical-sanitary importance due to the marked anthropophilic characteristics exhibited and the tendency to carry out massive attacks. The increasing incidence registered in certain areas as a consequence of their hematophagy, and the meager availability of epidemiological, fauna, bioecological, and distribution data, have led to this study. A field study of 137 samplings was carried out from 2013 to the present in the 14 hydrographic basins of the Valencian Autonomous Region. The study variables were the presence or absence of preimaginal states, environmental and physical-chemical parameters of the water, bite data from the Generalitat Valenciana, population density and incidence of bites by municipality, and geographic location of the population areas. A scarce and reduced presence of the aforementioned species is revealed in the study area. Risk maps of human populations near the detected breeding areas are provided, and the epidemiological interest is discussed due to its vector capacity to transmit pathogens that cause disease. The number of bites registered between 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 in the seven health departments involved is provided. The general trend toward an increase in the number of cases is observed year after year, where the highest peaks in the number of cases coincide with the months of June, July, and August, and eventually, September and October. Surveillance and control programs to minimize the problem in the Spanish health system are needed.

Evaluation of the Effect of a Mo bile Phone Application on Treatment Suc cess and Drug Adherence in Hypertensive Patients. One of the most important factors affecting the prognosis of hypertension is the patients’ adherence to drug therapy. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the improvement in drug adherence in hypertensive patients after using a mobile phone application. Patients and Methods: In this single-centered study fifty patients with hypertension were recruited. All the patients used the Medisafe® mobile phone application for 8 weeks. The application is intended to increase drug adherence of patients and provide better blood pressure control. The differences in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) levels from the baseline and the levels at the end of the study were compared. The drug adherence was evaluated using the 8-question Morisky Drug Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) at baseline and at the end of the study. Results: The mobile application utilization provided a significant decrease in both the mean SBP levels by 6.2 mmHg (p<0,001) and in the mean DBP levels by 2.4 mmHg (p=0.035) Additionally, the mobile application also positively and significantly increased the drug adherence of the patients (mean baseline score: 5.54 vs mean end of the study score:6.3 and p=0,001). In the subgroup analysis of the study demonstrated that in addition to an increase in patients drug adherence, the use of the mobile application provided a significant decrease in the mean SBP levels by 6.6 mmHg(p=0.016) in geriatric patients but the decrease in DBP did not significantly change (p>0.05). In geriatric patients, the mean difference between drug adherence scores baseline and after application was found to be significant (p=0.006). With the use of mobile application, patients with polypharmacy had decreased mean SBP and DBP levels, and an increased mean MMAS-8 score of 5.07 to 5.85 (p=0.009). The present pilot study demonstrated that mobile application use in patients with hypertension may increase the treatment success and the patients drug adherence. The beneficial effects of mobile applications in the treatment of hypertension and other common chronic diseases should be evaluated in further larger clinical trials.

Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is the advanced stage of peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD). This stage can be considered as a step prior to impending gangrene and amputation. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the use of stem cells and gene therapy, either alone or in combination in cases of no-option CLI, can provide therapeutic benefits in terms of relieving the rest-pain and healing the ischaemic ulcers. It seems, that although such combinations of treatment are safe, a grey area still exists to whether they are effective in reducing the risk of amputation and improving the quality of life to a reasonable degree. More studies are necessary.
