ABSTRACT A multilocus sequence typing (MLST) system was developed for group B streptococcus (GBS). The used to characterize a collection ( n = 152) of globally and ecologically diverse human strains GBS that included representatives capsular serotypes Ia, Ib, II, III, V, VI, VIII. Fragments (459 519 bp) seven housekeeping genes were amplified by PCR each strain sequenced. combination alleles at the loci provided an allelic profile or type (ST) strain. subset characterized restriction digest...
Cash transfers (CTs), for all their evident success in relieving poverty, have been criticised failing to incorporate transformative elements into programme design. In recent years changes introduced the design of CT programmes that go some way towards addressing this concern. This article critically engages meaning social protection and introduces a collection papers examine whether under what conditions cash can be 'transformative'. Among issues addressed are CTs catalysts leading positive...
Across diverse contexts, emerging evidence suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic is increasing levels of anxiety and stress. In calling for greater attention to people's psychosocial emotional well-being, global actors have paid insufficient realities in low- middle-income countries, where millions people are already exposed intersecting vulnerabilities. Chronic poverty, protracted violence, conflict displacement, coupled with weak health, education protection systems, provide backdrop many...
<h3>Background</h3> Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in many countries but few recent large-scale studies have examined trends its incidence. <h3>Methods</h3> Incidence CAP leading to hospitalisation one UK region (Oxfordshire) was calculated over calendar time using routinely collected diagnostic codes, modelled piecewise-linear Poisson regression. Further models considered other related diagnoses, typical administrative outcomes, blood...
ABSTRACT The genetic relatedness and evolutionary relationships between group B streptococcus (GBS) isolates from humans those bovines were investigated by phylogenetic analysis of multilocus sequence typing data. collection consisted 111 GBS cows with mastitis a diverse global patients invasive disease ( n = 83) carriers 69). Cluster showed that the majority bovine (93%) grouped into one cluster. human greater diversity clustered separately population. However, homogeneous type 17 (ST-17)...
From a young age the typical development of social functioning relies upon allocation attention to socially relevant information, which in turn allows experience at processing such information and thus enhances cognition. As such, research has attempted identify developmental processes that are derailed some neuro-developmental disorders impact functioning. Williams syndrome (WS) autism characterized by atypical yet divergent phenotypes atypicalities people.We used eye tracking explore how...
Fosfomycin is increasingly called upon for the treatment of multi drug-resistant (MDR) organisms causing urinary tract infection (UTI). We reviewed oral fosfomycin use UTI in a large UK hospital. The primary goal was to audit our clinical practice against current national guidelines. Secondary aims were identify factors associated with failure, and investigate potential using patients co-morbidities.We retrospectively studied 75 adult who received 151 episodes from March 2013 June 2015....
This article explores the social determinants of adolescents' access to education during COVID-19 pandemic in three diverse urban contexts Bangladesh, Ethiopia and Jordan. It provides novel empirical data from Gender Adolescence: Global Evidence longitudinal study, drawing on phone surveys (4441), qualitative interviews with adolescents aged 12-19 years (500), key informant conducted between April October 2020. Findings highlight that is compounding pre-existing vulnerabilities educational...
The COVID-19 pandemic and associated risk-mitigation strategies have altered the social contexts in which adolescents low- middle-income countries live. Little is known, however, about impacts of on displaced populations, how those differ by gender life stage. We investigate extent to has compounded pre-existing inequalities among Jordan, role support structures play promoting resilience.
Despite the far-ranging direct effects of armed conflict on daily life, physical health, and economic outcomes, there is limited evidence its impacts social political even less adolescents, despite this being a pivotal life-stage. This paper seeks to address critical gap in literature by exploring northern Ethiopia that lasted from 2022 adolescents' capital, including their peer networks, relationships with trusted adults, sense belonging community polity. The draws quantitative research...
To identify patterns in inflammatory marker and vital sign responses adult with suspected bloodstream infection (BSI) define expected trends normal recovery.
A defined geographical area (Oxford, United Kingdom) was investigated for the role of group B Streptococcus (GBS) as a human pathogen.GBS carriage in pregnant women and invasive disease neonates adults >60 years age studied over 3-year period. Multilocus sequence typing capsular serotyping were used to study 369 isolates GBS from (n=190) (n=109) (n=70).A total 20.3% carried GBS. Invasive occurred at rate 0.9 cases per 1000 live births 11 100,000 population annum. Four types (STs) (ST-17,...
The outcome of children with intestinal failure has improved during the past decade following introduction novel therapies by dedicated rehabilitation programs (IRP). aim present study was to assess impact IRP on transplant (IT) candidates and waiting list.A retrospective cohort assessed for IT (n = 84) a 10-year period. Comparisons were made among 3 time periods: before establishment our center's (1999-2002; n 33), early (2003-2005; 18), late (2006-2009; 33). endpoints used: patient...
BackgroundBrain abscess is an uncommon condition, but carries high mortality. Current treatment guidelines are based on limited data. Surveillance of clinical, radiological and microbiology data important to inform patient stratification, interventions, antimicrobial stewardship.MethodsWe undertook a retrospective, observational study patients with brain abscess, hospital coding, in UK tertiary referral teaching hospital. We reviewed imaging data, laboratory microbiology, antibiotic...
This article explores how intersecting vulnerabilities faced by Rohingya adolescents living in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, have been exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Both direct health impacts and indirect repercussions of mitigation strategies served to heighten pre-existing risks, preventing from reaching their full capabilities. provides empirical mixed-methods data Gender Adolescence: Global Evidence (GAGE) longitudinal study, drawing on phone surveys aged 10–14 15–19 (1,761),...
Adolescence is seen as a window of opportunity for intervention but also time during which restrictive gender attitudes and norms become more salient. This increasingly gendered world has the potential to profoundly influence adolescents' capabilities, including their physical mental health. Using quantitative data on 6,500 young adolescents (10-12) from Gender Adolescence: Global Evidence (GAGE) program, this paper analyses association between (RGAs) at individual level (RGNs) community...
