A majority of patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) receive antibiotics. According to the evidence, 5-7 days of treatment should be sufficient for most patients. Many, however, are treated longer than recommended. We have previously conducted a quality improvement study to ensure guideline-conform treatment for CAP. However, the impact of the interventions on antibiotic use has not been investigated. To estimate the impact of an eight-month stewardship program on antibiotic use. We conducted a before-after study comparing a four-month baseline period with data from a corresponding follow-up period. We performed univariable and multivariable logistic regression to compare odds for ≤7 days of total antibiotic treatment, ≤3 days of intravenous treatment and the proportion of correct empiric antibiotics. As sensitivity analysis, we repeated the univariable logistic regression on a propensity score-matched cohort by using the same variables we used for adjustments in the multivariable analysis. Weics significantly.TACAN (Tmem120A), a mechanotransducing ion channel highly expressed in a subset of nociceptors, has recently been shown to contribute to detection of noxious mechanical stimulation. In the present study we evaluated its role in sensitization to mechanical stimuli associated with preclinical models of inflammatory and chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (CIPN). Intrathecal administration of an oligodeoxynucleotide antisense (AS-ODN) to TACAN mRNA attenuated TACAN protein expression in rat dorsal root ganglia (DRG). While TACAN AS-ODN produced only a modest increase in mechanical nociceptive threshold, it markedly reduced mechanical hyperalgesia produced by intradermal administration of prostaglandin E2, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and low m
