 The problem of increasing antibiotic resistance is a serious concern to any physician treating children. The pediatric population has the highest prevalence of infection with common pathogens that are resistant to many antibiotics. Plus, a major driving force in the development of resistance is the overuse of antibiotics, and children receive courses of antibiotics more frequently than adults. Although in recent years office-based pediatricians have reduced antibiotic use, the inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics continues to be a major problem. One study revealed that antibiotics were prescribed to children at 75% of office visits for bronchitis and at 44% of visits for the common cold. According to the latest study of the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey data, visit-based prescribing rates for bronchitis have not changed. |

A new study shows how genes control levels of many blood proteins implicated in disease. The findings are the result of an international collaboration between scientists at the University of Exeter, the National Institute on Aging, and the Tuscany and Florence Health Agencies. Newly published details determine how many of the key proteins within our blood are under genetic control, showing that diet and lifestyle are not the only factors influencing its makeup. |
