Interplay between C-reactive protein responses and antibiotic prescribing in people with suspected infection by Qingze Gu, Kevin Yuan, Jia Wei, Chang Ho Yoon, Anders Skyrud Danielsen, Augustine Luk, David W. Eyre, A. Sarah Walker

“…CRP percentile changes were modestly associated with subsequent antibiotic adjustments; in particular, suboptimal recovery, indicated by an increase in CRP centiles, was associated with a higher rate of antibiotic escalation (16.5% vs. 10.7% in expected recovery) and, conversely, faster than expected recovery in CRP was associated with de-escalation (23.6% vs. 17.2%). …”

Assessing the Impact of Land Use Changes on Ecosystem Service Values in Coal Mining Regions Using Google Earth Engine Classification by Shi Chen, Jiwei Qin, Shuning Dong, Yixi Liu, Pingping Sun, Dongze Yao, Xiaoyan Song, Congcong Li

“…Land use change dynamics were quantified via a transfer matrix, while changes in the ESV were evaluated using the ecosystem sensitivity index and ecological contribution rate. Our results revealed notable fluctuations: forestland increased from 2013 to 2018 before declining sharply from 2019 to 2021; grassland displayed similar variability; and constructed land experienced a continual expansion. …”
