Between 2013 and 2015, the resistance rates of E. coli to third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins increased continuously, while carbapenem-susceptibility gradually decreased, particularly in K. pneumoniae. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa and A. baumannii increased significantly; therefore, few treatment options remain for these resistant strains.

Despite the reported virulence of hypermucoviscous KP strains, they were associated with good prognoses in KP BSI patients. Importantly, carriage of the pks gene cluster, which is responsible for the synthesis of colibactin, was a relevant marker of early mortality.

The application of unsteady incompressible flow phenomenon over the bluff bodies has received the attention of many researchers due to the rich and complex physics underpinning these flows, and thus requiring special attention in their modelling and numerical simulations. The wake that forms at the leeside of the bluff body is of particular interest. Reynolds number and geometry are in turn two prominent parameters that govern the formation and subsequent behaviour of this wake. This paper revie

To monitor national antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the Korea Global AMR Surveillance System (Kor-GLASS) was established. This study analyzed bloodstream infection (BSI) cases from Kor-GLASS phase I from January 2017 to December 2019. Nine non-duplicated Kor-GLASS target pathogens, including <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>, <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i>, <i>Enterococcus faecium</i>, <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i>, <i>Escherichia coli</i>, <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>, <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>,

The essence of Dworkin’s legal philosophy is that law is and should be based on integrity. According to law as integrity, propositions of law are true if they figure in or follow from principles of justice, fairness and procedural due process that provide the best constructive interpretation of the community’s legal practice. Integrity in legislation means that legislators should try to preserve coherence in principles. Integrity in adjudication means that judges responsible for establishing and

Changes occurred in the patterns of utilization of emergency medical services during the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) outbreak. The purpose of this study was to analyze the patterns of adult and pediatric patients who visited the emergency department (ED) during the outbreak. This retrospective study was conducted by analyzing changes in the patterns of visits among adult and pediatric patients in the ED at one tertiary teaching hospital in Korea. The study was performed from June 1,

In this study, various types of industry corrosion addition practices are investigated with regard to the ultimate strength performance of bulk carriers. Five types of corrosion additions, namely previously applied structural design rule, CSR (common structural rule), harmonised CSR, time-dependent corrosion wastage model, and new suggestion of corrosion addition by Union of Greece Shipowners, are considered. In the previous study, investigation on the ultimate strength performance of oil tanker

Several marine structures are subjected to critical loads resulting in their fatigue failure. Among these structures, the riser is an essential component that transports the hydrocarbons and fluids from the platform to the subsea well and vice versa. Risers are subjected to vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) caused by current, leading to fatigue damage (Lekkala et al., 2022a; 2022b). Therefore, developing a simplified and valid approach to estimate fatigue behaviour and damage is necessary. Though
