Background— Ventricular assist devices (VADs) improve survival and quality of life in patients with advanced heart failure, but their use is frequently complicated by infection. There are limited data on the microbiology epidemiology these infections. Methods Results— One hundred fifty scheduled for VAD implantation were enrolled (2006–2008) at 11 US cardiac centers followed prospectively until transplantation, explantation recovery, death, or 1 year. Eighty-six (57%) received HeartMate II...
This paper draws upon the example of High-Cost Short-Term Credit products accessed via digital interfaces and devices to examine practices interface design operation digitally mediated power. Utilising interviews with website designers users these products, shows how are designed tested manage frictions: practical, affective or emotional contestations that interrupt stop from applying for entering into credit debt. We suggest key role is frictions by guiding action in such a way minimise...
Nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus is often a prelude to infection with the same strain. The prevailing assumption has been that colonized individuals carry single present study investigated frequency simultaneous nasal multiple strains S. aureus. Three bacterial colonies from plated samples subjects were initially compared by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Fourteen 148 aureus-positive demonstrated at least difference band; 7 these 14 contained different strains, and 3 also belonged...
Digital interfaces, in the form of websites, mobile apps and other platforms, now mediate user experiences with a variety economic, cultural political services products. To study these digital mediations, researchers have to date followed range methodological strategies including modification pre-existing qualitative research methods, such as content analysis, discourse analysis semiotics, among many others, an experimentation new methods designed make visible operation data aggregation,...
Critical social scientific research holds that credit–debt is a principal economic and governing relation in contemporary economy society, but largely neglects money’s role indebted life. Drawing on qualitative the payday loan market United Kingdom, paper shows borrowers typically relate to loans monetary rather than financial terms incorporate them into practices of payment, spending online banking. To analyse how life variously experienced enacted through money, concept money culture...
Background. Little is known about the clonality of Staphylococcus epidermidis in United States, although it predominant pathogen infections involving prosthetic materials, including ventricular assist devices (VADs). Methods. Seventy-five VAD recipients at 4 geographically diverse US cardiac centers were prospectively followed up to 1 year support. The anterior nares, sternum, and (future) driveline exit site cultured for S. before insertion 7 times after surgery. Infection isolates also...
Background: Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with (GBMSM) accounted for 67% of new US human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections in 2012; however, less than 40% HIV-positive GBMSM are virally suppressed. Preventing transmission from unsuppressed condomless anal (CAS) serodiscordant partners is a public health imperative. New HIV attributed part to online access partners; therefore, low-cost eHealth interventions unique opportunity reach where they meet partners. Objective: To...
Analysing the affective geographies of digitally mediated payday loans in UK, this paper advocates and exemplifies an approach to cultural economy that focuses on how economic worlds are affectively animated lived. Supplementing two versions “culture” approaches have date been organised around – culture as signifying system or assembled effect we propose a everyday space‐times which is attuned composition forms living. Drawing empirical work with 40 users loans, employ trace their become...
Background: Chronic pain is complex and often needs a multi-disciplinary approach focusing on changing cognition (education), movement, strategies to calm down hypervigilant nervous system. In the United States (US), multidisciplinary programs are expensive, have long waiting periods, not readily accessible heavily focused pharmaceutical interventions more imaging. Many healthcare systems provide wellness programs, communities inexpensive or free. The primary aim of this study was determine...
As Staphylococcus aureus (SA) remains one of the leading cause infective endocarditis (IE), this study evaluates whether S. is associated with more severe infections or worsened outcomes compared to non-S. (NSA) organisms.All patients undergoing valve surgery for bacterial IE between 1995 and 2013 at our institution were included in (n = 323). Clinical data retrospectively collected from chart review. Patients stratified according causative organism; SA 85) NSA 238). Propensity score matched...
Developing current geographical debates on children's digital geographies and popular culture, this article examines children young people's experiences understandings of gambling-style systems in games. Chance-based mechanisms such as loot boxes are a growing feature the global gaming industry. This space between gambling provides new perspectives to emerging field, drawing empirical research from video ethnography game-play sessions with people. uniquely foregrounds these accounts, giving...
Background: HIV-positive patients at HELP/PSI, Inc, an in-patient drug rehabilitation center, had a high baseline prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus colonization (49%) and incidence infection (17%) in previous year-long study. Methods: A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study was conducted to determine whether repeated nasal application mupirocin ointment would decrease the odds S. 100 HELP/PSI over 8-month period. 5-day course given monthly, assessed 1 month after each...
Control rooms routinely deal with happenings that might become events. They attempt to hide events and their possibility from the users of infrastructure by undertaking various forms action stop coming pass. Based on ethnographic research in a motorway control room, this paper we describe how are grasped handled subject effect control. Focusing promise is provisionally achieved through detection–diagnosis–response work, show room situated ambiguous line between event non- or quasi-event...

Background: There is increasing recognition in medical education that greater emphasis must be placed on preparing graduating students for their new roles as interns. Few publications the literature have described transition-to-residency curricula specifically interested pediatrics or pediatric-related fieldsApproach: We developed novel online pediatric cases, embedded within an innovative, hybrid course, to address high yield, multi-disciplinary topics context of several AAMC's identified...
Persons with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) who use drugs appear to be at increased risk for colonization and infection Staphylococcus aureus. Little is known about the nature of factors responsible this association. This study among first prospectively follow carriage in uniquely high-risk population.We followed cases 75 patients AIDS a residential drug treatment facility screened S. aureus nasal infection.Thirty-seven baseline cultures (49%) were positive aureus, 81% subjects...
