carbapenem-resistant(English)
- property found mainly among Gram-negative pathogens, is an ongoing public-health problem of global dimensions. This type of antimicrobial resistance, especially when mediated by transferable carbapenemase-encoding genes, is spreading rapidly causing serious outbreaks and dramatically limiting treatment options. Their unique molecular structure is due to the presence of a carbapenem together with the beta-lactam ring. This combination confers exceptional stability against most beta-lactamases (enzymes that inactivate beta-lactams) including ampicillin and carbenicillin and the extended spectrum beta-lactamases

conventional radiography(English)
- the most widely available imaging modality in clinical practice. Features of gout include soft tissue swelling, bone erosion, and joint space abnormalities but does not allow direct visualization of MSU crystals. Soft tissue swelling in gout is nonspecific and may be due to synovial inflammation or tophaceous deposits. Bone erosions have a characteristic appearance in gout with sclerotic margins and overhanging edges. These erosions are typically in close proximity to the joint, but extraarticular erosions occasionally occur. CR changes are most often observed in joints affected by gout flares and tophi, particularly the first and fifth metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint. CR features of structural damage, such as erosion, new bone formation, and joint space abnormalities, are typically observed in patients with long-standing tophaceous disease
