Current status of bacteriophage therapy for severe bacterial infections - Journal of Intensive Care

Nov 1, 2024 | jintensivecare.biomedcentral.com | Kyoto Prefectural

In phage therapy, practitioners utilize two types of phages: naturally occurring phages and artificially modified phages. Numerous ventures have been established worldwide to advance phage development. These companies are actively engaged in projects aimed at developing engineered phages that exhibit a broader spectrum of activity against diverse bacterial strains, remove superfluous phage proteins that may pose safety concerns, and increase the stability of their bactericidal properties.
Which factors are associated with acquired weakness in the ICU? An overview of systematic reviews and meta-analyses - Journal of Intensive Care

The risk factors identified were scattered across various systematic reviews, none of which comprehensively covered all the risk factors or employed a definitive categorization. In this context, categorizing the risk factors as modifiable and nonmodifiable is based on established definitions in the literature, as highlighted in a narrative review by experts in ICUAW [3]. This categorization not only enhances the analysis but also amplifies the clinical utility of the findings.

In the 2018 Survey of Medical Institutions, the total number of ICU beds per 100,000 population in Japan was 5.4. Of the 339 secondary medical areas in Japan, 199 were excluded because the DPC database covered < 80% of all acute-care beds. The characteristics of the excluded and included patients showed a negligible imbalance in terms of most variables (Supplemental Table 3).
