    <description>Title: Risk stratification for chronic kidney disease progression after COVID-19: insights from multivariate modeling
Authors: Răzlog, Tatiana; Russu, Eugeniu; Groppa, Liliana
Abstract: SUMMARY&#xD;
Objectives. Chronic kidney disease and COVID-19 have a bidirectional interaction: on one hand, it increases the risk&#xD;
of severe COVID-19, while SARS-CoV-2 may accelerate renal deterioration in vulnerable patients. We aimed to assess&#xD;
medium-term renal status after COVID-19 and to identify independent unfavorable prognostic factors for chronic&#xD;
kidney disease progression using multivariate regression models.&#xD;
Methods. In a prospective cohort study, 280 pre-dialysis patients (KDIGO stages G1–G5) were evaluated in a tertiary&#xD;
nephrology center. Participants were allocated to two matched groups: post-COVID-19 patients with chronic kidney&#xD;
disease (n=140) and non-COVID control patients with chronic kidney disease (n=140), comparable for age, sex, disease&#xD;
stage, and major comorbidities. Clinical variables, renal and metabolic parameters (including proteinuria, phosphate, and&#xD;
hemoglobin), inflammatory markers, and SF-36 quality-of-life scores were collected at follow-up. Group comparisons,&#xD;
correlation analyses, and multivariate logistic regression were performed. Advanced chronic kidney disease was defined&#xD;
as stage G4–G5 at follow-up.&#xD;
Results. Post-COVID and control groups showed similar renal function at follow-up (mean eGFR ≈35 mL/min/1.73m2;&#xD;
p&gt;0.5), with no significant differences in serum creatinine, urea, or proteinuria prevalence. Inflammatory markers were&#xD;
mildly elevated and comparable between groups, consistent with chronic kidney disease related inflammation. SF-36&#xD;
scores were broadly similar; post-COVID patients reported lower vitality (fatigue) but slightly better social functioning.&#xD;
Within the post-COVID cohort, multivariate logistic regression identified three independent predictors of advanced&#xD;
chronic kidney disease: proteinuria (adjusted OR 5.0; 95% CI 2.0–12.5; p&lt;0.001), serum phosphate (OR 1.8 per +1 mg/&#xD;
dL; 95% CI 1.3–2.5; p&lt;0.001), and hemoglobin (OR 1.4 per −1 g/dL; 95% CI 1.1–1.8; p=0.005). Model performance&#xD;
was strong (Hosmer–Lemeshow p=0.45; AUC ≈0.88).&#xD;
Conclusions. COVID-19 history did not uniformly worsen medium-term renal outcomes in chronic kidney disease&#xD;
patients compared with matched non-COVID controls. However, persistent proteinuria, hyperphosphatemia, and&#xD;
anemia independently identified post-COVID patients at higher risk of advanced chronic kidney disease, supporting&#xD;
intensified post-COVID nephrology follow-up focused on these markers.</description>

    <description>Title: Utilizarea antibioticelor în țările cu venituri medii și mici: caracteristici și tendințe
Authors: Macari, Doina; Scutari, Corina; Ferdohleb, Alina; Todiraș, Mihail
Abstract: Rezumat.&#xD;
Introducere. În ultimele decenii, utilizarea antibioticelor în țările cu venituri medii și mici (LMIC) a crescut într-un ritm alarmant, generând&#xD;
îngrijorări semnificative în ceea ce privește rezistența antimicrobiană (AMR). Conform Organizației Mondiale a Sănătății (OMS), AMR reprezintă o&#xD;
amenințare globală, LMIC fiind cele mai vulnerabile din cauza contextului socio-economic și a infrastructurii de sănătate deficitare. Factori precum&#xD;
accesibilitatea, practicile de prescripție și reglementările existente influențează semnificativ utilizarea antibioticelor în aceste regiuni.&#xD;
Material și metode. Au fost analizate publicațiile științifice în acces deschis din baza de date PubMed și Google Academic din ultimul an, utilizând&#xD;
cuvintele cheie „antibiotice”, „țări cu venituri medii și mici”, „rezistență antimicrobiană”.&#xD;
Rezultate. Datele disponibile indică o creștere de 114% a consumului de antibiotice în LMIC între 2000 și 2015, în comparație cu o tendință&#xD;
globală de 65%. Antibioticele incluse în categoria „Watch” a OMS au avut o creștere de 164% în LMIC, subliniind riscurile asociate utilizării excesive a&#xD;
acestora. Lucrătorii informali din domeniul sănătății, care constituie un segment semnificativ al furnizorilor de servicii medicale în LMIC, au tendința&#xD;
de a prescrie antibiotice fără supravegherea unui specialist. De exemplu, în India, 55% dintre furnizorii de servicii de sănătate sunt informali, iar în&#xD;
Bangladesh, acest procent atinge 96% în mediul rural. Această situație evidențiază necesitatea integrării acestor lucrători în sistemele de sănătate&#xD;
formale. Implementarea reglementărilor stricte în anumite țări, alături de campanii de conștientizare, a condus la o scădere semnificativă a vânzărilor&#xD;
de antibiotice. Utilizarea testelor de diagnostic la punctul de îngrijire (POC) a demonstrat un potențial considerabil în reducerea utilizării inadecvate&#xD;
a antibioticelor. Programele de stewardship antimicrobiană s-au dovedit eficiente în restrângerea consumului inadecvat. Analiza sugerează că&#xD;
intervențiile care combină educația, feedback-ul și reglementările sunt cele mai eficiente. De asemenea, extinderea programelor de vaccinare a&#xD;
demonstrat o corelație directă cu diminuarea utilizării antibioticelor, vaccinurile, cum ar fi cele împotriva Streptococcus pneumoniae, contribuind&#xD;
semnificativ la reducerea cazurilor de infecții care necesită tratament cu antibiotice.&#xD;
Concluzii. Rezultatele acestei analize subliniază complexitatea problemei utilizării excesive a antibioticelor în LMIC și indică necesitatea unor&#xD;
intervenții integrate. O abordare cuprinzătoare care să includă: reglementări stricte, dezvoltarea și implementarea Planurilor Naționale de Acțiune&#xD;
(NAP-uri) care să includă o abordare „One Health”, colaborare cu sectorul privat, creșterea finanțării pentru infrastructură și educația continuă pentru&#xD;
profesioniștii din sănătate, integrarea lucrătorilor informali în sistemele de sănătate, implementarea testelor POC, programelor de vaccinare, toate&#xD;
acestea sunt esențiale pentru a combate AMR și a promova utilizarea rațională a antibioticelor.</description>

Abstract: Summary.&#xD;
Introduction. Pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs), including antibiotics, are emerging pollutants that pose risks for ecosystems and&#xD;
human health. One of the greatest concerns is their effect on the spread of antibiotic resistance, due to their continuous release through wastewater&#xD;
effluents. Constructed wetlands (CW) offer a cost-efficient and eco-friendly solution for the removal of PhACs from wastewaters. However, limited&#xD;
studies have evaluated their efficiency in full-scale systems. This study aimed to assess the removal of 60 PhACs, including 30 antibiotics, through the&#xD;
treatment chain of a vertical flow full-scale CW (VF-CW) treating municipal wastewater.&#xD;
Material and methods. Sampling was conducted in July 2023 in a medium-size system: Orhei CW (20,000 population equivalents, Orhei, Moldova).&#xD;
Water samples were collected at the influent, middle and effluent points and sent refrigerated for analysis to Spain. Following solid phase extraction,&#xD;
a set of 60 PhACs were analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry.&#xD;
Results. Macrolides, quinolones, sulfonamides, lincosamide and trimethoprim were the main antibiotic families detected in influent at 20-2035&#xD;
ng/L range. The average of antibiotics removal in the VF-CW was 93%, with exception of metronidazole, which increased its concentration during&#xD;
treatment. Additionally, 14 PhACs from 5 therapeutic families were detected in influent at 10-1543 ng/L. The stimulant caffeine reached the highest&#xD;
influent concentration at µg/L. Following treatment, removal efficiency was satisfactory (84% average for 12 PhACs). However, some psychiatric&#xD;
drugs (carbamazepine, its metabolite epoxy-carbamazepine and alprazolam) remained at similar or even higher levels at the effluent, presenting&#xD;
negative removals. This behavior has been reported for other systems, both nature-based or conventional treatments.&#xD;
Conclusions. Antibiotics and other 5 PhACs therapeutic families are mostly removed from water following VF-CW treatment, proving the efficiency&#xD;
of this eco-technology as primary and secondary treatment of Orhei municipal wastewater. The negative removal for a few compounds highlights&#xD;
the need to continue developing improvements in this type of technology to achieve better removal of pollutants.</description>
