In 2003, human monkeypox was first identified in the United States. The outbreak associated with exposure to infected prairie dogs, but potential for person-to-person transmission a concern. This study examines health care worker (HCW) 3 patients confirmed monkeypox.Exposed HCWs, defined as HCWs who entered 2-m radius surrounding case monkeypox, were by infection-control practitioners. A self-administered questionnaire and analysis of paired serum specimens determined status, immune...
A pneumococcal isolate that caused relapsing meningitis in a patient infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was found to display an unusual response penicillin--rapid death but striking lack of cellular lysis. This lytic defect also detected all four isolates from three additional HIV-infected patients and more than half the clinical bacteremia. In rabbit model meningitis, lysis-defective strain remained cryptic, delay 5 h onset leukocytosis cerebrospinal fluid. marked burst...
The properdin or alternate complement pathway may function as a heat-labile opsonin for pneumococci, and evidence has been sought its activation in pneumococcal infections. Twenty-two patients had determinations of C1q, C4, factor B, C3, hemolytic during hospitalization infection. Measurements were made the first 36 h after admission on 16 later recovery 16. values compared statistically with each other levels 15 normal individuals. mean nearly identical C1q which are two early components...
From January 1986 through December 1990,672 cases of invasive pneumococcal disease were identified. these, 574 isolates recovered from normally sterile sites (blood, cerebrospinal and pleural fluid); 92% serotypes represented in the 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine. The most common children <2 years old 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, 23F, 83% ofAlaska Native 75.1%ofnonnative with disease. Moderate penicillin resistance (MIC, 0.1-1.0 “”g/mL) was found 3.8% isolates. All sensitive to...
Measures of individual behavioural differences (personality) are highly valuable in many areas ethology, particularly studies animal emotion and welfare. However, there limitations to current tests personality. Caregiver questionnaires may provide a complementary approach overcome some these richer insight into Drawing on previous studies, we developed questionnaire which caregivers were asked rate the extent given adjective/term described rat under their care. We then used factor analysis...
Abstract As a collective of students and teachers, we reflect on student experiences housing in Aotearoa. The commentary began as reflective diary assignment from third‐year course offered semester one 2023 at the University Auckland. Using 15 these diaries our data, take stock multiple intersecting crises that are currently impacting other young people, suggest potential directions for future research.
Effective and safe foraging requires animals to behave according the expectations they have about rewards, threats, costs in their environment. Since these factors are thought be reflected animals' affective states, we can use behavior as a window into those states. In this study, rats completed task which had repeatedly decide whether continue harvest food source despite increasing time costs, or forgo switch different source. Rats across two experiments using manipulations designed induce...
We compared the safety of monthly and bimonthly solution transfer set tubing changes by following 40 patients for one year. In 20 solutiontransfer-set was changed in every two months. group, there were 10 episodes peritonitis per 192 patient months and, bi-monthly 207 Spike durability assessed both groups over a six-month period. Of tubings that monthly, 23% had spikes with curled edges or chips, to 25% group. The material proved durable month period when compared. There no statistically...
