Systematic beach monitoring as a health assessment tool: cetacean morbillivirus under non-epizootic circumstances in stranded dolphins.
Cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV) was identified as the etiologic agent of several epizootic episodes worldwide. Most of these studies are based on unusual mortality events or identification of ...
Bilateral lung transplantation during pregnancy after ECMO for influenza-A caused ARDS.
Pregnant women with influenza-A have an increased risk of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be used as salvage therapy, wi...
Impact of a computerized physician order entry (CPOE)-based antibiotic stewardship intervention on the treatment duration for pneumonia and COPD exacerbations.
