Antibiotics are routinely introduced into the food of cattle, chickens and other livestock, which causes the animals to grow fas

ter. Since the cost of antibiotics is low, the use of antibiotics is an easy way to achieve faster weight gain in animals. Explain how this practice could affect the probability of developing populations of antibiotic-resitant bacteria that cause human disease.

Answer:

Bacteria are highly adaptable microorganisms who have the capability of developing defense mechanisms against that which may harm them. Not least important of all, is the easiness with which some bacteria, especially pathogenic bacteria like Salmonella, or Klebsiella, develop mechanisms of resistance to antiseptics and, most importantly, antibiotics.

Antibiotics are a chemical substance that was created, and has been developed, in order to be able to combat pathogenic microorganisms, specifically bacteria. However, because today these substances are being used indiscriminately, we are now seeing a very worrying pattern of antibiotic-resistance patterns in microorganisms that used to be sensible to them. The result, we are facing strains of pathogenic bacteria, like Klebsiella pneumonia and E. Coli, that have become resistan to all types of antibiotics, from first generation, to fourth generation. And this has meant that when people acquire infection by these pathogens, the likelihood of death by them has increased because there are no agents capable of combating them.

Exposure to antibiotics has been the sole reason why these resistant strains of bacteria have emerged, especially when these antibiotics are not necessary. And feeding these substances to animals, to ensure their development and weight gain, has not made the situation any better. Now, we are instead adding also bacteria to the list that did not use to be resistant, but that are becoming so as they become adjusted to the constant exposure to antibiotics. Again, the result has been: more people infected with bacterial strains that cannot be combated with any of the existing antibiotic agents.

Comorbid risks of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism in patients with chronic pancreatitis: A nationwide cohort
Korolek [52]

Risks of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) in chronic pancreatitis (CP) are <u>unclear</u>.

The CP cohort showed a 2.95-fold greater adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) for DVT and a 4.51-fold greater aHR for PE than the non-CP cohort. Substantial risks of DVT and PE were evident in patients with CP aged < 55 years.

The CP cohort with comorbidities showed increased risks of DVT and PE as compared with the non-CP cohort.

Hence the risks of DVT and PE are significantly higher in CP patients than in the general population.
