“What’s in a name?”
Antidepressant use is on the rise in the U.S.– and with it, the proliferation of new mood-management drug names. At the same time, the Tech Right’s fascination with The Lord of the Rings, has occasioned a flood of company and product names drawn from that fantasy series. It can be very confusing, as a new game from the folks at Vercel demonstrates. Can you tell if a name is an antidressant drug or a Tolkien character?
* Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet (Act II, Scene II)

As we navigate nomenclature, we might recall that it was on this date in 1941 that first injection of penicillin into a patient was administered by physician Charles Fletcher at Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford, England.
In 1928, Alexander Fleming had discovered the anitbacterial properties of the Penicillium mold. But he had little luck convincing his medical colleagues of its value: penicillin was so difficult to isolate that its development as a drug seemed impossible. After Fletcher’s experiment and others– all of which showed promise, but “failed” when the doctors ran out of penicillin– Fleming used the hospital’s entire supply of penicillin to cure a patient of an infection of the nervous system (streptococcal meningitis) which would otherwise have been fatal. Having established medical efficacy, the doctors were able to convince labs in the U.K and the U.S. to pursue large-scale fermentation of the mold and refinments in its medical form. By June 1942, just enough US penicillin was available to treat ten patients. But with the U.S. entry into World War II, the War Production Board undertook to make penicillin available to fighting forces across the conflict. By June, 1945, over 646 billion units per year were being produced.

Just doing my duty, also, you might recall the syphilis epidemic going through South Dakota? It tracks precisely to when she was on Rep. Dusty Johnson & mute Senator John Thune's arm, in South Dakota, while being pimped out by 'boyfriend', convicted swindler, Paul Erickson. She was arrested for spying ultimately, but was deported immediately? They're all in jail or been invisible, what a tawdry tale

I just have to say, God Bless Alexander Fleming and his little pot of mould

The 1920s
On 3 September 1928 Alexander Fleming observed by chance that fungal contamination of a bacterial culture appeared to kill the bacteria. He confirmed his observation with a new experiment on 28 September at St Mary’s Hospital, London. When Fleming published his experiment in 1929, he called the antibacterial substance (the fungal extract) penicillin.

Penicillin (Microbiology 🦠)
Penicillins are a group of β-lactam antibiotics originally obtained from Penicillium moulds, principally P. chrysogenum and P. rubens. Most penicillins in clinical use are synthesised by P. chrysogenum using deep tank fermentation and then purified. A number of natural penicillins have been discovered, but only two purified compounds are in c...

Alexander Fleming gilt als Entdecker des #Penicillins – und erhielt den #Nobelpreis dafür. Unser Autor Ernst-Peter Fischer meint, das sei viel zu viel der Ehre; andere Forscher hätten wichtigere Beiträge geleistet: https://www.laborjournal.de/editorials/3025.php #Antibiotika #Wissenschaftsgeschichte

If you need & can take #penicillin based #antibiotics, do so.
They are usually better, so it's in everyone's interest to not be labelled allergic to penicillin incorrectly.

Demonstration by #RCT that in patients labelled allergic to #penicillin but with low probablilty of this:
1. True allergy is actually rare
2. You can rule it out with oral penicillin challenge and not need skin testing#IDMastodon #medicine #MedMastodon #AMR #antibiotics #allergy

Impactful & safe penicillin allergy delabelling.
Interesting many needed to be screened to find the low risk ones: 40 delabelled of 285 screened (14%) Worth it & not a criticism, but curious to know how long screening took #AMR #IDMastodon #MedMastodon #medicine #microbiology #antibiotics #penicillin #allergy

@SIDPharm Important piece of work. Beta lactams are the best. We mustn't needlessly deny them to our patients.
