description: Evidence is needed on the impact of anticoagulation therapy on kidney function in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The objective of this analysis, which is part of the CALLIPER study, was to investigate the risk of worsening kidney function with rivaroxaban 15 mg once daily compared with warfarin in patients with AF and moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) in routine clinical practice in the United States. CALLIPER was an observational, retrospective, new-user cohort study. Adult patients with AF in the US IBM Watson MarketScan databases who newly initiated anticoagulation with rivaroxaban 15 mg once daily or warfarin between January 2013 and December 2017 were included. Comparative analysis was performed using Cox proportional hazards regression after adjustment for potential confounding by the stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighting approach and propensity score matching. One of the main study outcomes was worsening kidney function (composite of progression to CKD stage 5, kidney failure, or need for dialysis), besides traditional AF-related outcomes. The cohort included 7368 patients: 5903 (80.1%) initiating warfarin and 1465 (19.9%) initiating rivaroxaban 15 mg once daily. Rivaroxaban 15 mg was associated with a significant 47% reduction in the risk of worsening kidney function versus warfarin (hazard ratio 0.53; 95% confidence interval 0.35–0.78). Similar results were observed in the subgroup of patients with type 2 diabetes. Rivaroxaban 15 mg may be associated with a lower risk of worsening kidney function as compared with warfarin in the atrial fibrillation population with moderate-to-severe CKD. NCT03359876

description: Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a medical procedure offered to selected patients with nonmalignant and malignant diseases.  BMT is often the only medical intervention option that offers patients a potential cure.  Following BMT, patients are frequently subjected to multiple complications. Complications include regimen-related toxicity, toxicity, toxicity secondary to prophylactic and treatment procedures of adverse effects and complications, complications secondary to pancytopenia, and immunologic conflicts.  These complications are primarily responsible for the morbidity and mortality associated with BMT.  Infectious complications are usually viral, bacterial, or fungal and usually occur during the period of absolute neutropenia (less than 100/mm3neutrophils).  Following BMT, approximately 10-20% of patients are at risk of developing fungal infections.  Fungal infection is difficult to diagnose.  Once fungal infections become invasive, treatment with appropriate antifungal therapy may not be effective.  Prophylactic therapy against fungal infection is highly desirable to prevent the morbidity and mortality associated with fungal infection.   Prophylactic therapy with low-dose amphotericin B, a first line agent for the treatment of systemic fungal infection, has been effective in reducing fungal infection after BMT.  Low-dose amphotericin B therapy in BMT has also been shown to reduce the number of days of antibiotic therapy, reduce the number of day of high-dose amphotericin B, and reduce the number of days of hospitalization.  These secondary endpoints may be associated with cost savings for patients. Audit worksheets of 35 patients undergoing BMT at the University of Utah Hospital were obtained.  A data collection form was composed of clinical and cost-effective variables.  Hospital charges were summarized for selected cost centers, antibiotic therapy, expensive medications, and total hospitalization.  A cost-effectiveness analysis was performed to determine whether there were charge differences between the low-dose amphotericin B group and a placebo group and to determine whether low-dose amphotericin B was cost-effective.  The decrease use of antibiotic therapy, the decrease use of high-dose amphotericin B, and a decrease in hospitalization with the use of low-dose amphotericin B all translated into cost savings for patients in the low-dose amphotericin B Study.  Low-dose amphotericin B prophylaxis during the  neutropenic period may therefore be cost-effective in patients at this institution.

description: Auditory brainstem implants (ABI) in children in the first years of life is a recent innovation. Analyses of their speech and language development on the basis of spontaneous language samples are still largely lacking. The aim was to investigate the phonological complexity of the words children with ABI use in their spontaneous speech, and to compare their accuracy with that of children with cochlear implants (CI) and children with normal hearing (NH). Longitudinal recordings of spontaneous speech were collected of three children with ABI. Children with ABI target mainly words of low phonological complexity in their spontaneous speech, just as children with NH and children with CI do. The complexity of the words they attempt increases over time, but this development is less outspoken in comparison to children with CI and NH at the same hearing ages. The accuracy of the ABI children’s word productions is situated in the lower ranges of the 95% confidence intervals of the NH and the CI groups, and – depending on the specific measure – even fall below the 95% border. The ABI intervention appears to be beneficial in the three cases studied, although their development is slow compared to children with CI and NH.

description: Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HFASD) have organizational skills deficits. Organizational skills include the ability to manage materials (e.g., belongings, books, homework) and temporal skills such as organizing, planning, and managing tasks to completion. This study was a usability test of a prototype mobile technology designed to improve organizational skills. The prototype was assessed for usability and feasibility for future development. A field-based mixed methods usability test was conducted. Sixteen children with ADHD and HFASD aged 8 to 12 years and their parents participated. The study was conducted in an 8-week summer treatment program. The usability test lasted 15 days, with data collected via observation, child and parent daily logs, surveys, and focus groups. During the usability test, children brought the prototype technology to camp 95% of the time and used it to record items to bring to camp 85% of the time. Parents completed a daily log simulating mobile functions 88% of the time. Using the prototype device for homework tracking resulted in three times the likelihood that homework was completed. Establishing a contingency between device game time and homework completion resulted in four times the likelihood that homework was completed. Qualitative results suggested that children valued carrying the device and children were motivated by having game time on the device as a reward. In addition, qualitative results showed that parents valued the device as a contingent reward, desired novelty in the device's games and features, and expressed an urgent need for help with their children's organizational skills. Children will utilize a mobile technology intended for task tracking with game time having a high reward value. Parents value the concept of using a mobile technology to improve their children's organizational skills. The use of mobile technology for building and sustaining organizational skills via performance rewards is a promising intervention for effective home and school-related task management. The effectiveness of a more fully developed mobile technology needs to be assessed in future research.

description: The growth characteristics of Mycoplasma pulmonis and influenza A/PR-8 virus studies in a mouse tracheal organ culture system. M. pulmoins grew well in the tracheal organ culture producing inhibition of ciliary activity.  The organism grew in close association with the epithelial cell membrane producing cytopathology as revealed by studies employing stained tissue sections, fluorescent antibody, and electron microscopy.  The M. pulmoins did not grow in the culture fluid medium alone but grew when viable tracheal explants were present.  However, cultures of heat treated explants with added cholesterol or horse serum supported growth of the mycoplasma.  The M. pulmoins was shown to produce hydrogen peroxide.  The addition of catalase to the mouse tracheal organ cultures infected with this organism appeared to protect the explants from the toxic effects produced by mycoplasma as indicated by inhibition of ciliary inactivation.  This might indicate that the hydrogen peroxide production of the mycoplasma plays a role in the pathogenesis of this organism for the tracheal tissue.  There was no ciliary inhibition in cultures that were maintained in medium in which M. pulmoins had grown but was removed by filtration and treatment with antibiotics.  This indicated that the organisms must be present to produce ciliary inhibition and that stable toxic products produced by the organism were probably not responsible for this effect.  Influenza A/PR-8 virus was also shown to grow and produce cytopathology in mouse tracheal organ cultures. Electron microscopy showed that the virions attached to and caused clumping of the cilia.  The virus infection eventually resulted in complete desquamation of the epithelial surface of the tracheal tissue as revealed by stained histological sections.  The addition of receptor destroying enzyme (RDE) to the medium was found to be significantly inhibit the growth of the virus in this system.  When tracheal organ cultures were dually infected with both organisms, ciliary inactivation and tissue damage occurred earlier that when the organisms were cultured separately.  The present of the virus appeared to have no effect on the growth of the mycoplasma, however the mycoplasma inhibited virus replication.  The M. pulmoins may have inhibited the influenza virus growth by affecting the nucleic acid or amino acid metabolism of the tracheal epithelial cells.  The mycoplasma could also have induced or caused a priming effect on an interferon response.  The interferon could then have inhibited the viral replication.  Data from this study suggests the possibility of mycoplasma-virus interactions occurring in respiratory infections of man.

User Centered Design in the Creation of a Surgical Intensive Care Log
Creators: name: Leung, Eugene Wai Ching
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2014

description: The Residency Review Committee (RRC) requires that general surgery residents document their Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) experiences. To satisfy these requirements we created a web based intranet log to make it easier for residents to track their patients and determine when these requirements were complete. A premium was put on usability to promote acceptance by surgical residents. A prototype web site was designed with input from an attending general surgeon. Three general surgery residents were selected to participate in the iterative design phase. They went through three iterations using a "think-aloud" method while performing tasks on the prototype web site. Each iteration led to improvements to the web site. In a comparison test, a group of seven medical students performed 14 typical web site tasks using both the prototype and the final versions. They were asked to complete a Questionnaire for User Interaction Satisfaction (QUIS) for each version. The time for completion of these tasks was also recorded. The user interaction satisfaction did not show any improvement (F(1,6)=0.13, p=0.912). Similarly, there was no improvement in times for delete and add tasks ( Delete F(1,5) = 0.949, p=0.375, Add F(1,5)=0.267, p=0.628 ); however, the time to complete edit tasks was faster for the final version of the web site (F (1,5)= 14.3, p=0.013). The primary reason for not detecting other differences between the two web sites is likely that the comparison study did not have sufficient power. This was suggested by the participants whose comments favored the final version over the prototype as well as a trend of consistently higher mean subset scores in the final version. The results indicate that differences may be seen when more complex tasks are completed (editing information) versus the two simpler tasks (adding or deleting a patient record in a web site). Future studies should focus on the impact of navigation strategies on speed and data warehouse approaches to creating the application. This study shows the benefits of using an iterative design approach to create a usable web site and demonstrates the importance of further research in the field of usability.

description: This study experimentally tested the effects of concurrent tic suppression on a verbal learning task in children with a chronic tic disorder in a semirandomized agematched between groups design using reinforced suppression and tic freely groups. Analyses revealed equal initial learning and immediate recall of words between groups, but the suppression group was able to recall fewer words relative to the control group following a delay while concurrently suppressing. Following a release from suppression and long-delay period, the suppression group again freely recalled an equal number of words but recognized fewer words when presented with a list of words. Despite statistically equal performance between groups at some time points of the task, all means for the suppression group were less than that of the control group. Taken together, these results suggest that tic suppression interferes with registration of newly learned verbal information in long-term memory as well as retrieval of said information while suppressing. Further data collection may reveal that tic suppression results in more broad impairment across learning constructs (i.e., working memory, encoding, registration). This study has implications for people with tic disorders and behavioral treatments of tic disorders.

Theory of planned behavior

description: Most research predicting future behaviors have used the Theory of Reasoned Action or the Theory of Planned Behavior. A visitor's intention to return has been used as a measure of potential repeat patronage in travel and tourism research. As real estate development companies continue to saturate the tourism market, it is becoming more important for management companies to retain and build their existing client base. According to Petrick, Morais, and Norman, "with a market that appears to be getting more competitive every year, it is becoming more and more important for managers at entertainment destinations to examine the variables related to attracting and retaining entertainment travelers." Research reports that companies find it more cost efficient to focus on retaining clients rather than seeking new ones. Resorts may gain important information for accomplishing this objective by attempting to understand visitors' intentions to return. While intent does not guarantee behavior, past research has linked intentions to actual behavior. Understanding visitors' intentions and their psychosocial antecedents can thus provide useful marketing information. This study focused on vacation rentals (nontraditional whole-ownership condominium resorts) along the Florida/Alabama Gulf Coast. The Theory of Planned Behavior has been used successfully in predicting and explaining visitor intentions in traditional lodging markets such as the hotel/motel market. However, the theory has not been used to understand the vacation rental market. In the downswing of the current economy and with the increase of industry competition for gaining market share, there is a need for better understanding the underlying variables that affect customer retention. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the relation between intention to return to a vacation rental along the Florida/Alabama Gulf Coast and the antecedent variables of attitude, social influence, and perceived behavioral control.

description: This thesis examines how using subjects that are deeply personal and private, in this case loneliness, can serve as source material for the creative process. How can a choreographer use the act of recognizing intuition and the  subconscious as an enlivening choreographic tool? I seek to discover how the choreographic process helps develop a clearer depiction of experiences that have been sublimated in our nonconscious self. I surmise that by giving the opportunity to discuss personal experience creatively, the choreographic process can elucidate the effects these have on our personhood.  This thesis describes the choreographic process of my work Fallen Inside, which premiered in the University Of Utah Department Of Modern Dance Graduate Thesis Concert held at the Hayes Christensen Theatre, Marriott  Center for Dance on November 11-13, 2010. I explain how I transformed my personal experiences of loneliness and a need for connection in the human  experience into subjects of creative investigation. In addition to my creative research, I draw on research by Marcia Leventhal about the use of movement  exploration as an inroad to personal growth, and Antonio Damasio, who discusses the process of recognizing emotional reverberations in the unconscious as a guiding tool in the creative process.
Memoryscapes: American art and the tension of time

Year: 2012
Subjects: Cole
McCarthy

description: This thesis looks closely at the phenomenon of "landscape," arguing that in art, a landscape acts as a network of cultural codes and ideologies made visible. These values are put on display not as an innocuous pursuit, but rather in the attempt to enact a kind of  cultural colonization; landscapes do persuasive work as a means of convincing others of what matters most. As artifacts, these landscapes are imagined views that, while they may make reference to actual places, say more about the artist or community's grounding  principles than the actual natural character of a space. My work here will focus on the way that landscapes reveal particular anxieties, most notably the anxieties over the intersection of memory and place.  This thesis focuses on two landscapes in particular, the work of nineteenth-century American painter Thomas Cole and Cormac McCarthy's 2006 novel The Road.  The discussion of Cole focuses on the concern the artist felt for the direction the nation was going spurred by Jacksonian politics. This fear of a growing empire's strength is coupled in Cole's Course of Empire series, with a nod to the allure of progress, especially the frontier ethic that dominated nineteenth century America.  The discussion of McCarthy's novel focuses on the way that memory and history become a grounding set of principles that attempt to resist the violence of an apocalyptic world. These protective memories are born out of a character's relationship with the landscape he travels through and the way that it recalls a lost world. The Road argues that though this longed-for world cannot be regained, it nevertheless provides an  opportunity for a family to pursue what they believe to be noble ends: survival, persistence, even violence.  Both landscapes illustrate American anxieties about the shape of the future in light of the past. Memory is enacted in sometimes idealized, sometimes terrifying, often contradicting depictions of the natural world made political.

Ringing instabilities

description: Particle methods have been used in fields ranging from  fluid dynamics to plasma physics. The Particle-In-Cell method and the family of methods that are an extension of it are a combination of both Lagrangian and Eularian methods. In this thesis, we present a brief survey of some of the methods and their key components. We show the different methods by which spatial derviates are computed. We propose a method of showing how the so-called "ringing instabilies" associated with particle methods arise and a means to remove them. We also propose that the underlying nodal scheme plays a key role in the stability of the method. Lastly, dierent particle methods are explored through numerical simulations and compared against an analytic solution.

I present an overview of the satellite, its operation, and data products. Currently available results (DR2) are still based on less than two years of data, and big improvements in random and systematic errors are expected with subsequent releases. Immediate contributions to the distance scale include very precise calibrations of period-luminosity relations, an accurate trigonometric distance to the LMC, and independent kinematic distances to the LMC, M31, and M33.

description: Are labour market outsiders also political outsiders? The labour market dualization literature offers inconsistent evidence as to the effects of nonstandard employment on political demobilization. This article shows that thus far unaccounted for exposure to poverty among workers in nonstandard employment varies considerably across labour markets, and that this variation carries implications for political inclusion. Analyses of five waves of the European Social Survey indicate that exposure to working poverty absorbs much of the predictive power of nonstandard employment, suggesting that working poverty, rather than labour market per se, leads to political demobilization. The findings help explain the hitherto inconsistent results in studies of labour market dualization and lend support to the argument that future research should account for cross-national variation in working poverty.

description: This thesis advances the evidence on the research methods, trends, determinants and current approaches to address socioeconomic inequalities in childhood obesity in Australia. Findings highlight the need for ongoing monitoring of childhood obesity and its risk factors according to socioeconomic position. This thesis found that unhealthy food and drinks contribute to socioeconomic inequalities in childhood obesity, and that parents are calling for supportive environments to enable healthy diets for their children. A range of complementary government-led policies that address the individual, social, and structural determinants of childhood obesity is required to reduce socioeconomic inequalities in childhood obesity.

description: The present study examined perceptions of those involved in a local program designed to increase economic self-sufficiency among women with refugee status. The study was a qualitative investigation of both directors? and participants? perceptions of the program, its goals, and the challenges and successes of the program. The goals of the study were to give the participants a voice about how they experienced the program, and provide insight that may be useful to the program directors and other similar programs. Over 14 months, we collected documents created by the program directors and conducted interviews with program directors and participants in the program. Major findings of the data validated the importance of program, with the participants expressing appreciation for the social and economic benefits of the program. However, the program faced several financial, infrastructure and communication challenges. Directors expressed concern that the program was not as effective in serving the refugee community as anticipated and that participants were not taking ownership of the program. After analyzing the data, I explored possible reasons that might explain for the programs? challenges and identified assumptions of the program directors and government that negatively affected the effectiveness of the program. I conclude by recommending that service directors do a better job of understanding, consulting and including the participants of their program in the decision-making processes. I also recommend that service providers start small in their programs, as well as advocate for more governmental resources and support.

description: Liquid biopsy requires sampling of blood, urine and other body fluids rather than tissue to detect cancer and disease markers. This technology can detect DNA fragments released by tumors or proteins associated with various tumor types and widely used for cancer screening in humans and animals. Liquid biopsies will complement the tissue biopsy allowing more cancer patients to be tested.Liquid biopsy tests do not replace gold-standard diagnostic methods such as tissue biopsy; rather, they offer a complementary approach to the identification and monitoring of cancer patients.This article explores the diagnostic capabilities of liquid biopsy tests in veterinary medicine.

Anatomy and assembly of the McDoogle Pluton near Sawmill Lake, Central Sierra Nevada, California
Creators: name: Stearns, Michael Andrew

Year: 2012
Subjects: Intrusions (Geology)
Batholiths--Sierra Nevada

description: This study examined the internal anatomy and assembly processes of the xenolithrich  (-30 vol %) McDoogle pluton of the John Muir Intrusive Suite (JMIS), part of the  Sierra Nevada batholith. The McDoogle pluton is interpreted to have grown  incrementally as a plexus of dikes emplaced synkinematically into the steep Sawmill  Lake shear zone. The best exposed portion of the pluton near Sawmill Lake was  investigated using detailed geologic and bulk magnetic susceptibility (BMS) mapping  (1:3000 scale), structural analysis, and high-precision U-Pb geochronology.  The pluton is composed of five composite sheets of three different lithologic types  arranged in mirror symmetry. The oldest, most heterogeneous, central phase grew  antitaxially, meaning increments were added at the intrusive margins. Antitaxial growth  preserves abundant in-situ wall-rock screens which are interpreted to mark contacts  between increments. Folding patterns of the wall-rock screens suggest that the central  phase grew from east to west. The younger intermediate and border phases were  emplaced on both sides of the central phase, thus creating the mirror symmetry. The  outer increments grew syntaxially, meaning increments were added at the centers of  previous increments. The central phase terminates bluntly in the map area whereas the  border phases continue southward and terminate as dike tips.  The McDoogle pluton rapidly intruded the Sawmill Lake shear zone at 95 Ma. Three samples were processed for high-precision U-Pb zircon dating and produced ages  that overlap within error (±0.1 Ma). The minimum permissible wall-rock displacement  rate is 4 mm/yr, which exceeds normal local tectonic dilation rates of ~1 mm/yr. Data  from the Bishop Pass phase of the Lamarck granodiorite, located further north in the  JMIS, define a similar duration and minimum rate of growth.. Magmatic overpressure  may account for the rapid dilation rate.  BMS mapping can distinguish and communicate subtle petrologic variations that  traditional geologic mapping cannot. However, it is necessary to investigate what  controls the BMS signal before large BMS surveys. The Sawmill Lake BMS map reflects  the geologic map, but contains areas of high and low values that define tabular bodies  which follow folded wall-rock screens, supporting structural interpretations. The  correlation between BMS and color index (CI) was tested in nine samples. Ilmenite has  much lower bulk susceptibility than magnetite, and therefore a rock that contains ilmenite  in place of magnetite has a lower BMS for a given CI. Though, removing samples with  significant ilmenite proportions did not improve the correlation between CI and BMS.
Overcoming biases to improve search sufficiency and decision accuracy: the effects of data visualization, instructions and order

description: The present study explored data presentation and human cognition with the objective of improving electronic Decision Support Systems (DSS). Computers have been used as tools for decision support for over 60 years, with the intent to supplement or replace human cognition. However, electronic computing has failed to reliably replace human cognition in complex domains. The suboptimal properties of the data and complexities of the domain often require human interpretation and intervention. Human interpretation relies on experience, values, intuition, insight and learning; which can lead to shortcuts or heuristics. Heuristics in the correct context can be economical and effective in solving many problems. When heuristics fail the results are labeled as cognitive biases or errors. Biases all share the elements of structuring incorrect or inappropriate models or hypotheses and/or insufficient consideration of the data. Most biases can be linked to confirmation bias - which is manifested by searches for and consideration of only confirming data. De-biasing techniques share the concept of shifting cognitive processing from an automatic associative mode to a more deliberate, conscious rule-based mode. This study used a modified Wason 2-4-6 task that combined methods of, 1) increased salience through data visualization with 2) appealing to the rule-based system through task instructions. The results indicate that neither increased salience nor instructions ensure increased search sufficiency, efficiency or decision accuracy. However, this study provides insight into the perceived value of evidence and iv four potential limitations related to self-directed searches: 1) The selection of necessary disconfirming evidence cannot be assumed, regardless of the perceived value of disconfirming evidence. 2) The selection of sufficient evidence does not ensure accuracy; however, 3) insufficient selection of disconfirming evidence results in lower accuracy. 4) Ambiguous evidence is considered more valuable than potentially disconfirming evidence. Implications for the design of decision support systems are presented along with limitations and directions for future research.
Comparisons between family profiles of level 10 and elite female gymnasts and the United States National female gymnastic team

description: The purpose of this study was to determine if there were differences in family profiles between female gymnasts at the Level 10, Elite level, and those on the United States National Gymnastic Team. The variables that were examined included socioeconomic status, parental education, ordinal position of birth of the gymnasts and their parents, family size, sibling and parental involvement in sport, geographic location, parental style of discipline, locus of control, and the 10 subscales of the Family Environment Scale. The participants in this study were female gymnasts rated Level 10, Elite, and National Team by the United States Gymnastic Federation (USGF; N = 26) and their families. The age of the gymnasts was 14-22 years at the time of their competitive years. However, the actual age of the competing gymnasts was 14-18 years of age. The instruments used for this study included the Family Environment Scale (FES) and two gymnastic-specific demographic questionnaires, one constructed specifically for the gymnasts, and one constructed for parents. The results of the study revealed that the information obtained from this study can not be generalized to any population other than those studied here. Statistically, there were relatively few differences across levels of athletic achievement (Level 10, Elite, and NT gymnasts) as originally hypothesized; however, some interesting trends suggest that additional research be pursued. Although the results were not statistically significant, the pattern of results for the conflict and control subscales did confirm that the National Team had a more authoritative parental style than the non-National teams. The National Team families were high in cohesion and much lower in control. Parental style appeared to have an impact on the overall success of the athlete. Initially, the thought was that the birth order of the gymnast was an important factor; however, a better predictor of the success of the athlete may lie in the birth order of the parents, and more specifically the father. The fact that none of the fathers of the gymnasts were first-born and came from larger families may have something to do with the success of the gymnasts. Perhaps they encouraged their child to achieve at a higher level because they were not first-born. Finally, even though the results were not what was expected due to the low response rate and relatively few differences between the top three levels of gymnasts, some interesting results were obtained and provide a foundation for further exploration.

description: Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a high-priority pathogen of concern due to the growing prevalence of resistance development against approved antibiotics. Herein, we report the anti-gonococcal activity of ethoxzolamide, the FDA-approved human carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. Ethoxzolamide displayed an MIC50, against a panel of N. gonorrhoeae isolates, of 0.125 µg/mL, 16-fold more potent than acetazolamide, although both molecules exhibited almost similar potency against the gonococcal carbonic anhydrase enzyme (NgCA) in vitro. Acetazolamide displayed an inhibition constant (Ki) versus NgCA of 74 nM, while Ethoxzolamide’s Ki was estimated to 94 nM. Therefore, the increased anti-gonococcal potency of ethoxzolamide was attributed to its increased permeability in N. gonorrhoeae as compared to that of acetazolamide. Both drugs demonstrated bacteriostatic activity against N. gonorrhoeae, exhibited post-antibiotic effects up to 10 hours, and resistance was not observed against both. Taken together, these results indicate that acetazolamide and ethoxzolamide warrant further investigation for translation into effective anti-N. gonorrhoeae agents.
