Fluconazole prophylaxis in critically ill surgical patients: a meta-analysis.
TL;DR: Prophylactic fluconazole administration for prevention of mycoses in SICU patients appears to successfully decrease the rate of these infections, but this strategy does not improve survival.

TL;DR: Empiric doxycycline + β-lactam may be a safe empiric regimen for hospitalized CAP patients with non-severe CAP, although additional research is needed to corroborate these observations with larger samples.
A Comparative Analysis of Patients With Early-Onset vs Late-Onset Nosocomial Pneumonia in the ICU Setting
TL;DR: The data suggest that P aeruginosa and ORSA can be important pathogens associated with early-onset NP in the ICU setting, and clinicians should be aware of the common microorganisms associated with both early-ONSet NP and late-onsett NP in their hospitals in order to avoid the administration of inadequate antimicrobial treatment.
