Abstract: In neuromuscular disease (NMD) patients, current guidelines recommend the initiation of home mechanical ventilation (HMV) in case of daytime hypercapnia or nocturnal desaturation as an indirect sign of hypoventilation. Transcutaneous capno-oximetry (TcCO2) enables the direct… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae represents a major public health issue globally. Isolates with resistance to the newest drugs, like ceftazidime/avibactam (CZA), are increasingly reported. In this study, we analyzed the evolution of KPC-3-producing sequence type… read more here.
