Stewardship and social justice: implications of using the precautionary principle to justify burdensome antimicrobial stewardship measures by Johnson, T

“…If that harm is uncertain but serious, the precautionary principle might apply to the issue, and might require taking ‘precautionary measures’ to avert the threat of antimicrobial resistance, including stewardship interventions like antibiotic prescription caps, bans on certain uses in farming sectors, and eliminating over-the-counter uses of antibiotics. …”

Rapid modulation of striatal cholinergic interneurons and dopamine release by satellite astrocytes by Stedehouder, J, Roberts, B, Raina, S, Bossi, S, Liu, AKA, Doig, N, McGerty, K, Magill, P, Parkkinen, L, Cragg, S
