Abstract Septic arthritis is a serious condition with significant morbidity and mortality, routinely diagnosed using culture. The FDA has recently approved the rapid molecular BioFire® Joint Infection Panel (BJIP) for synovial fluid. We aimed to evaluate BJIP compared culture its potential use in patient management. A multicentre retrospective evaluation of was conducted UK Ireland. Positive percent agreement (PPA) negative (NPA) were calculated between routine multidisciplinary team (MDT)...
: The BIOFIRE Joint Infection (JI) Panel is a diagnostic tool that uses multiplex-PCR testing to detect microorganisms in synovial fluid specimens from patients suspected of having septic arthritis (SA) on native joints or prosthetic joint infections (PJIs).
Inquiry into the determinants of risk-related sexual behavior is important for development interventions to reduce incidence new cases human immunodeficiency virus infection. Recent social and behavioral research has revealed much about individual factors influencing risk-taking. Findings from these studies have been in educational community-based communities at risk developed developing worlds.
Abstract To compare the sexual behaviour and HIV risk reduction strategies of gay bisexual men in Europe, a survey, disseminated via press associations, was conducted amongst Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Italy Netherlands during autumn winter 1991. By end March 1992, 12, 347 completed questionnaires had been obtained. A preliminary analysis shows striking similarities patterns 8 European countries but indicates that management concerning AIDS vary widely....

Introduction: Gram stain of synovial fluid is a rapid test for the diagnosis native joint septic arthritis. Single-centre studies have suggested will miss considerable proportion patients who are subsequently synovial-fluid-culture-positive or polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-positive. The object this study was to reassess in large, multi-centre cohort from United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland. Methods: retrospective analysis combining two large datasets. We defined arthritis microbiologically as...

OBJECTIVE--To correlate the degree of CAG repeat expansion with neuropathological findings in Huntington9s disease. METHODS--The polymorphism was analysed a large series brain samples from 268 patients clinical diagnosis disease which full data available. RESULTS--Analysis by polymerase chain reaction successful 63% (169 268). Repeat expansions were detected 152 153 (99%) The exceptional case (22 repeats) showed mild but definite pathological changes and had typical illness positive family...
Abstract Individuals with the three base pair deletion NM_000267.3(NF1):c.2970_2972del p.(Met992del) have been recognised to present a milder neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) phenotype characterised by café-au-lait macules (CALs) and intertriginous freckling, as well lack of cutaneous, subcutaneous plexiform neurofibromas other NF1-associated complications. Examining large cohorts patients over time this specific genotype is important confirm presentation associated risks variant across...
Objects passed from one player to another have not been assessed for their ability transmit severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We found that the surface of sport balls, notably a football, tennis ball, golf and cricket ball could harbour inactivated virus when it was swabbed onto surface, even 30 s. However, high concentrations 5000 dC/mL 10,000 are directly pipetted be detected after short time periods. Sports objects can only SARS-CoV-2 under specific,...
Key Clinical Message Leptospirosis is the commonest zoonotic infection worldwide but vastly underreported and extremely heterogeneous in its presentation. Acalculous cholecystitis an under recognized presentation of acute leptospirosis. In appropriate clinical context, with a clear exposure history, recognition this association presents unifying diagnosis limits unnecessary surgical interventions.
SUMMARY This paper reports on the results of qualitative studies examining personal experiences sex and sexual negotiation for British gay men who are diagnosed HIV positive those know or presume themselves to be uninfected. These contrasted with a study representations AIDS within an international review community health promotion literature aimed at men. The highlights disparity between specific responses epidemic as engendered in cultural production materials individual experience HIV,...
The availability of mutation analysis for the CAG repeat expansion associated with Huntington9s disease has prompted clinicians in various specialties to request testing samples from patients displaying clinical features that might be attributable disease. A series 38 cases presenting thought possibly due were analysed prospectively. In 53% such initially chorea and 62.5% psychiatric symptoms an was identified, a considerable lower proportion than found previous where diagnosis considered...
Abstract Background To investigate the incidence, clinical characteristics and survival of malignant tumours gastrointestinal tract in children West Midlands Britain over a 44‐year span time, to identify any change this period compare data with world literature. Procedure Retrospective population based study. Fifty‐seven patients were identified from records Regional Children's Tumour Registry. Age‐standardised incidence rates calculated using standardised method. Statistical tests used Log...
