G7 on antibiotic resistanceMODERN healthcare
use of anmicrobial
therapies (AMTs) is
endangering their
eecveness by increasing
the spread of resistant
microbes according to a
report from the recent G7
Health Ministers Meeng
held in Berlin Germany
Anmicrobial resistance
is rapidly becoming a top
health problem that could
pose a signicant challenge to thefunconing of healthcare systems
and their budget
Anbioc resistant microbes
(ARMs) are highly prevalent in
G7 and OECD countries said the
report
Paents infected by ARMs
are more likely to develop
complicaons and up to three
mes more likely to die creang an
addional cost burden for hospital
spend on average of US$10000 to
40000 for each paent involved
The chart demonstrates penicillin
resistant pneumonia graphed
against total anbioc use by
country with Australia looking
relavely less implicated in the
problem
The ndings have spurred a
call for more urgent acon by G7
countries in the area of AMR
All G7 countries have developedpolicies to tackle AMR in both the
human and animal sectors

DISPENSARYCORNER
COUNT your moles
Thatrsquos the recommendaon
from a study in the Brish Journal
of Dermatology which found that
having more than 11 moles on
one arm indicates a higher than
average risk of developing skin
cancer according to the BBC
The research looked at 3000
twins across the UK over a period
of eight years collecng vital dataon skin type freckles and moles
They collated intriguing facts
such as that females with over
seven moles on their right arm
were nine mes more likely to
have over 50 on their whole body
Those with more than 11 on
their right arm were more likely
to have over 100 on their body
in total meaning they were at
a higher risk of developing a
melanoma the report said
And if they had more than 100
moles on their right arm theywere ve mes more likely to
develop skin cancer
The researchers stressed that
most moles are completely
harmless but said their results
could help health professionals
quickly and easily assess paents
for melanoma risk
A PATIENT discharged from a
hospital in Des Moines Iowa in
the USA has been arrested for
stealing a taxi telling ocers he

The empty taxi had the keys in
the ignion at the me according
to a report by local TV staon
KCCI which didnrsquot state why
Orellano-Rivera was in hospital
- and what might have stopped
him making the most of an
invigorang six-block stroll home
