Is 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid associated with variability in aspirin-induced platelet inhibition?
These findings support a role for 12-HETE as a pro-aggregatory eicosanoid in platelet function and suggest a role for 12-HETE in variable sensitivity to aspirin. The study also highlights a potentially important mechanism by which aspirin impacts upon eicosanoid generation.
We showed the sustained impact of a fluoroquinolone control programme on the reduction of fluoroquinolone use with a significant decrease in fluoroquinolone-resistant P. aeruginosa and MRSA rates over 4 years.
