Abstract Background Klebsiella pneumoniae complex (Kp) is a relevant neonatal pathogen colonizing preterm infants. While outbreak investigations often focus on multidrug-resistant strains, the epidemiology and genomic dy...

Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) are pivotal in addressing the escalating energy and environmental challenges of hot climates, where extreme cooling demands and reliance on fossil fuels intensify carbon footprints. T...

Abstract Cities comprising more than half of the global population and consuming 75% of total energy are critical starting points for urban planners aiming to improve energy efficiency and mitigate climate change. Resear...

Introduction: Optimal transfusion thresholds in burn patients remain a topic of debate. While liberal strategies aim to improve oxygen delivery, restrictive protocols may minimize transfusion-related risks. Evidence in g...
