The rare < em > Salmonella enterica < /em > serovar Isangi: genomic characterization of the antimicrobial resistance, virulence potential and epidemiology of Brazilian strains in comparison to global isolates
Conclusion. The presence of S. Isangi strains from Brazil and different countries showing a close genomic correlation, antimicrobial resistance profiles to drugs used in human therapy and a large number of virulence determinants reinforced the need for stronger initiatives to monitor rare non-typhoidal Salmonella serovars such as S. Isangi in order to prevent its dissemination among human and non-human sources.PMID:37462464 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001736

What are Some of the Complications of Short Bowel Syndrome?
Discussion
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is one of the most common gastrointestinal emergencies in neonates. Mortality rates are from 0-45% depending on infant weight and gestation with more premature and smaller infants having greater mortality. NEC usually occurs in premature infants but it also occurs in term infants. The etiology is unknown but is probably multifactorial with ischemia and/or reperfusion playing some role. There are ‘outbreaks’ of NEC but no causative organism has been identified. Regardless of the originating cause, inflammation of the intestine and release of inflammatory mediators causes variou...

Nonprescription Medication Use in Patients With Heart Failure: Assessment Methods, Utilization Patterns, and Discrepancies With Medical Records
Conclusions: The majority of study participants used nonprescription medications, and often did not report usage to health care providers. Patient education regarding importance of disclosure of nonprescription medications is crucial, as is consistent querying of use by heart failure providers.

Do we know the best treatment for jellyfish stings?
2.5 out of 5 stars
What is the Most Effective Treatment for Relieving the Pain of a Jellyfish Sting? Ostermayer DG, Koyfman A. Ann Emerg Med 2015 Apr;65:432-433.
Reference
This short article manages to pack a maximum amount of confusion into a very small space. The authors perform a literature search to find evidence that would answer their title question, but come up with only a single relevant randomized controlled trial that included exclusively stings from a specific jellyfish, the bluebottle (Physalia).
That study involved 96 subjects with apparent bluebottle stings, and compared immersion of the affected body part...

Serum biochemical, blood gas and antioxidant status in search and rescue dogs before and after simulated fieldwork
Publication date: Available online 6 July 2015 Source:The Veterinary Journal Author(s): J.W. Spoo , D.L. Zoran , R.L. Downey , K. Bischoff , J.J. Wakshlag The aim of the study was to assess the physiological and antioxidant status before and after a 4 h search and rescue field exercise, with handlers, under warm-weather conditions performing activities compared to a control group of similarly trained dogs at rest. Serum chemistry demonstrated a decrease in serum sodium (Na) and potassium (K) in both exercising and control groups, however only Na was decreased significantly (P < 0.05) after exercise and hematocrits...

Optimization of tribological behavior of magnesium metal-metal composite using pattern search and simulated annealing techniques
Publication date: Available online 20 July 2019Source: Materials Today: ProceedingsAuthor(s): S. Sathish, V. Anandakrishnan, Manoj GuptaAbstractMagnesium based metal-metal composite was synthesized through the disintegrated melt deposition technique with the inclusion of aluminium and titanium powders. To examine the metallurgical features of the metal-metal composite the samples of the produced composite was subjected to x-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy analysis. To study the tribology of the metal-metal composite, pins of composites were subjected to dry sliding wear test as per standards and t...

A Statewide Study of the Epidemiology of Emergency Medical Services' Management of Pediatric Asthma
Conclusions
This statewide study demonstrated low rates of EMS administration of ipratropium bromide and systemic corticosteroids, both evidence-based treatments for asthma exacerbations. Targeted EMS education should attempt to increase utilization of both those medications. In addition, the feasibility and efficacy of EMS administration of oral systemic corticosteroids for children should be explored.

A 6-Year-Old With Leg Cramps
A 6-year-old girl presented with a history of leg pain and cramping that progressively worsened over a 2- to 3-week period of time. Her examination was notable for normal vital signs, limited range of motion of her left hip, and a limp. Inflammatory markers were slightly elevated, but the serum electrolytes, calcium, and magnesium, complete blood cell count and differential, and creatine kinase level were normal. She was hospitalized for further diagnostic evaluation and was noted to have abnormal muscle movements classified as myokymia (continuous involuntary quivering, rippling, or undulating movement of muscles). Electr...

Preventive Kidney Stones: Continue Medical Education
Nephrolithiasis is a common health problem across the globe with a prevalence of 15%–20%. Idiopathic hypercalciuria is the most common cause of nephrolithiasis, and calcium oxalate stones are the most common type of stones in idiopathic hypercalciuric patients. Calcium phosphatestones are frequently associated with other diseases such as renal tubular acidosis type 1, urinary tract infections, and hyperparathyroidism. Compared with flat abdominal flm and renal sonography, a noncontrast helical computed tomography scan of the abdomen is the diagnostic procedure of choice for detection of small and radiolucent kidney ...

What Are Some Risk Factors for Cerebral Palsy?
Discussion
The term, cerebral palsy, or CP has gone through many iterations with the first description in 1861 by W.J. Little who described it as “The condition of spastic rigidity of the limbs of newborn children.” The most recent definition is from Rosenbaun et al. in 2007 which states it is “a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation, that are attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain. The motor disorders of cerebral palsy are often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, perception, cog...

What Causes Tachycardia?
Discussion
Tachycardia is a rapid heart rate that is above normal for age and level of exertion. Tachycardia is common, particularly sinus tachycardia due to normally encountered circumstances such as pain, fever or exercise. It is usually a normal physiologic process but sustained tachycardia often indicates a potentially abnormal underlying cause.
Sinus tachycardia has a rapid heart rate with normal P waves and P-R intervals and variations from moment to moment and respiration. Generally it is not over 200 beats/minute. Vagal stimulation can slow the heart rate; this is a gradual slowing, not an abrupt slowing seen in ...

What is Refeeding Syndrome?
Discussion
Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder with an intense fear of being overweight (i.e. distorted body image), and self-starvation and excessive weight loss. It is more common in women (1.2%) than men (0.2%) but can be seen in both genders. Risk factors include high-intelligence, perfectionism/inflexibility, anxiety, activities where thinner body types are expected (e.g. dancer, diver, gymnast, long-distance runner, volleyball player, etc.)
Other eating disorders include bulimia nervosa (i.e. cycles of binge eating and then purging), binge eating disorder (i.e. purging), orthorexia (i.e. obsessions with healthful ...

Do Epsom Salts Help?
Discussion
Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate. It is named Epsom from the town in England, close to London where it was supposedly discovered.
Magnesium is an important trace element. It is a co-factor for ATP metabolism, DNA and RNA synthesis and regulation, and multiple other enzymatic reactions.
Hypermagnesemia is quite uncommon and usually would occur because of renal insufficiency or being iatrogenically produced. Hypomagnesemia is a serum concentration of < 0.75 mmol/L. Symptoms are often non-specific such as lethargy, anxiety, headache, decreased appetite, nausea and sleeping problems. Muscle spasms and muscle assoc...
