Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation can improve neurologic outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest of cardiac origin; furthermore, pupil diameter on hospital arrival may be a key predictor to identify extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation candidates.

Three of seven clonally related Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from a burn patient produced the extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) SHV-12. Its gene was flanked by two IS26 elements with a large transposon (>24 kb). The transposon also contained at least five IS26 elements and a gene encoding the amikacin resistance determinant aminoglycoside 6′-N-acetyltransferase type Ib [aac(6′)-Ib]. It was inserted into the gene PA5317 in the P. aeruginosa chromosome.
