description: An ongoing outbreak of exceptionally virulent Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli O104:H4 centered in Germany, has caused over 830 cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and 46 deaths since May 2011. Serotype O104:H4, which has not been detected in animals, has rarely been associated with HUS in the past. To prospectively elucidate the unique characteristics of this strain in the early stages of this outbreak, we applied whole genome sequencing on the Life Technologies Ion Torrent PGMTM sequencer and Optical Mapping to characterize one outbreak isolate (LB226692) and a historic O104:H4 HUS isolate from 2001 (01-09591). Reference guided draft assemblies of both strains were completed with the newly introduced PGMTM within 62 hours. The HUS-associated strains both carried genes typically found in two types of pathogenic E. coli, enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) and enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC). Phylogenetic analyses of 1,144 core E. coli genes indicate that the HUS-causing O104:H4 strains and the previously published sequence of the EAEC strain 55989 show a close relationship but are only distantly related to common EHEC serotypes. Though closely related, the outbreak strain differs from the 2001 strain in plasmid content and fimbrial genes. We propose a model in which EAEC 55989 and EHEC O104:H4 strains evolved from a common EHEC O104:H4 progenitor, and suggest that by stepwise gain and loss of chromosomal and plasmid-encoded virulence factors, a highly pathogenic hybrid of EAEC and EHEC emerged as the current outbreak clone. In conclusion, rapid next-generation technologies facilitated prospective whole genome characterization in the early stages of an outbreak.

description: In February 2008, five patients were infected with the H1N1 subtype of influenza A virus in one hospital ward for immunocompromised patients at a hospital in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. All of these patients had an established haematologic disease and tested positive either for viral RNA or antigen shortly after the beginning of respiratory illness. In three of the patients, influenza virus was repeatedly detected, and four of the patients died in coincidence with the virus infection. Sequencing of the amplified (HA1) haemagglutinin yielded identical nucleotide sequences in isolates from three of the patients, whereas one nucleotide difference was found in the isolate of the fourth patient, resulting in an amino acid substitution (G153R). To investigate the source of infection, the medical staff (n = 104) of the hospital unit was tested and found negative for influenza virus RNA and antigen in pharyngeal lavages. Testing for influenza virus antibodies by immunofluorescence assay revealed that 12 staff members were positive for influenza virus A IgA antibodies. These findings suggest that wild-type influenza virus infections occurred within the medical staff at the same time the patients were infected and that the staff might have contributed to the circulation of virus in the hospital ward.

description: Care home residents often experience medical emergencies requiring ambulance attendance that may lead to potentially avoidable hospitalization. We aimed to explore ambulance staff experiences of medical emergencies in care homes. We used a qualitative design and purposive sampling to recruit frontline ambulance staff who had attended medical emergencies in care homes in England, United Kingdom. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews (conducted by telephone or online) and were analysed using thematic analysis. We interviewed 15 ambulance staff members and developed four analytical themes, capturing what ambulance staff perceived facilitated or impeded high quality care being provided during emergencies in care homes. Participants felt that effective communication was important to ensure a good care experience and discussed barriers to communications, such as language difficulties or disagreements during decision-making. They highlighted the need for better ongoing care in care homes, further training for ambulance and care staff, and that the current service pressures were a barrier to providing high quality emergency care. This study highlights the main challenges and facilitators that ambulance staff are faced with when dealing with emergencies in care homes. The findings will help inform the development and evaluation of interventions to improve outcomes and experiences of emergencies in care homes.

description: The increasing reliance on portable electronic devices has driven the demand for more efficient and convenient charging solutions. Traditional wired charging methods, while effective, can be cumbersome and limit mobility. Wireless charging technology offers a promising alternative by providing a seamless and cable-free charging experience. This paper presents a novel wireless charging system designed to simultaneously charge multiple devices, including smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and wireless earbuds. The system leverages resonant inductive coupling and advanced power management techniques to enable the efficient transmission of power across multiple charging pads or zones. By incorporating smart control algorithms, the system dynamically allocates power based on the number and power requirements of connected devices, optimizing energy transfer and reducing interference. The proposed system also includes features such as user-friendly interfaces, device detection, and safety mechanisms, ensuring reliable performance and user safety. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the system in achieving high energy transfer efficiency, scalability, and ease of use, making it an ideal solution for modern households, workplaces, and public spaces where multiple devices need to be charged simultaneously

description: One aspect of the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adole-scents (KiGGS 2003-2006, Principal publication 2007) was to investigate the relationship between social status and health. Socio-economic status, often expressed as an index (e.g. Ducan’s SEI or Winkler’s Index), is known to correlate with health outcomes like behavioural problems. We constructed a new index that en-capsulated not only economic and social but also environmental stressors (ESES), using data of the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents. Different factors were selected to account for socio-economic stress (low parental education, low household income, low occupational status of the householder), domestic stress (living in large cities, exposure to tobacco smoke at home, crowded housing, mouldy walls), and prenatal stress (maternal smoking during pregnancy, drinking alcohol during pregnancy). Prior to the calculation of ESES, the different factors were multiplied by weights which were estimated by multivariate linear regression on a number of health outcomes. ESES was then used to predict emotional and social problems (SDQ scores). The resulting ORs were compared with those obtained for an established socio-economic index (SEI). ESES was superior to SEI as it could more clearly identify children and adolescents with emotional or social problems. Different types of stressors (i.e. socio-economic stress, domestic stress and prenatal stress) contributed independently to emotional and social problems.

description: Die Meldepflicht einer Erkrankung an Tuberkulose (TB) wurde in Deutschland rund 40 Jahre (1961-2000) durch das Bundes-Seuchengesetz (BSeuchG) geregelt. Das „Gesetz zur Verhütung und Bekämpfung der Infektionskrankheiten beim Menschen“ (Infektionsschutzgesetz; IfSG) vom 20.7.2000 ist ab dem 1.1.2001 anstelle des BSeuchG in Kraft getreten. Seit der Einführung IfSG hat sich das Tuberkulose-Meldeverfahren verändert. Unter anderem ermöglichen die Einführung einheitlicher Kriterien zur Erfüllung der Falldefinition und die Erhebung von zusätzlichen Daten nun eine verbesserte Kontrolle der TB-Neuerkrankungen in Deutschland. Gleichzeitig stellt die internationale Vergleichbarkeit der Surveillance-Daten seit Einführung des IfSG eine wichtige Voraussetzung für die Eindämmung der Krankheit und ihrer gesundheitlichen Folgen dar.
Sound Field Reconstruction for an Under-Determined System and its Application

Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Near-Field Acoustical Holography (NAH) is an inverse process in which sound pressure measurements made in the near-field of an unknown sound source can be used to reconstruct the sound field so that source locations can be identified. Usually a large number of measurements is required for the usual NAH methods since a large number of parameters in the source or field model need to be determined. However, a large-scale microphone measurement is costly and hard to perform, so the use of NAH is limited by practical experimental conditions. In the present work, with the motivation of decreasing the number of microphone measurements required, and thus facilitating the measurement process, two sparse Equivalent Source Method (ESM) algorithms were studied: i.e., Wideband Acoustical Holography (WBH) and l_1-norm minimization. Based on these two algorithms, a new hybrid NAH procedure was proposed and demonstrated. To study and verify the above mentioned algorithms, simulations of different sources were conducted and then experiments were conducted on different sources: i.e., a loudspeaker cabinet and a diesel engine.

description: Inclisiran is a novel inhibitor of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9). This study aimed to explore its safety profiles through real-world research. Reports from FDA Adverse Event Reporting System were collected and analyzed from January 2021 to September 2023. The reporting odds ratio method was employed to detect safety signals. Comparative analysis was conducted at levels of SOCs, HLGTs, and PTs with other PCSK9 inhibitors. A total of 136 safety signals were identified, the majority of which were novel. In comparison with other PCSK9 inhibitors, inclisiran had a greater number of adverse drug events in ‘Gastrointestinal disorders’ and ‘Infections and infestations.’ ‘Gastrointestinal symptoms and motility’ and ‘respiratory and urinary tract infections’ are the principal causes for the aforementioned safety issues. Nevertheless, inclisiran demonstrates potential advantages in terms of safety profiles, particularly in ‘Eye disorders,’ ‘Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders’ and ‘General disorders and administration site condition.’ Due to distinctive pharmacological mechanism of action, the safety issues of inclisiran merit meticulous consideration. There are some safety profile tendencies that differ from other PCSK9 inhibitors. Therefore, special attention should be paid to its administration in high-risk populations. Additionally, some results remain uncertain, requiring further verification.

description: This systematic review aims to determine the effectiveness of ambulance transportation versus helicopter transportation on mortality for trauma patients. A systematic review of published and unpublished databases (to August 2023) was performed. Studies, reporting mortality, for people who experienced trauma and were transported to a trauma unit by ambulance or helicopter were eligible. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was employed to evaluate study quality. Of the 7,323 studies screened, 63 met the inclusion criteria. Thirty-two percent of these studies included patients with diverse injury types, while nine studies included patients across all age groups. The majority (92%) of the included data were retrospective in nature. Eighteen studies (28.57%) achieved the highest score on the Newcastle-Ottawa scale suggesting high-quality evidence. Seven studies examining 24-h mortality reported variable findings. Eighteen studies reported mortality without exact time points through adjusted analyses, 17 favored air transport. Air transport showed an advantage across all subgroups in the adjusted data, while the unadjusted data presented relatively similar outcomes between the two modes of transport. This systematic review found that adjusted analyses consistently favored air transport over ground transport. Unadjusted analyses showed no significant difference between the two modes of transport, except in specific subgroups. Further subgroup analyses revealed notable disparities between the two modalities, suggesting that these differences may be influenced by multiple factors. These findings highlight the need for further research to clarify the true impact of transport modality on trauma outcomes.

DNA SELF-ASSEMBLY DRIVEN BY BASE STACKING

description: DNA nanotechnology has provided programming construction of various nanostructures at nanometer-level precision over the last three decades. DNA self-assembly is usually implemented by annealing process in bulk solution. In recent several years, a new method thrives by fabricating two-dimensional (2D) nanostructures on solid surfaces. My researches mainly focus on this field, surface-assisted DNA assembly driven by base stacking. I have developed methods to fabricate DNA 2D networks via isothermal assembly on mica surfaces. I have further explored the applications to realize quasicrystal fabrication and nanoparticles (NPs) patterning.
 In this dissertation, I have developed a strategy to assemble DNA structures with 1 or 2 pair(s) of blunt ends. Such weak interactions cannot hold DNA motifs together in solution. However, with DNA-surface attractions, DNA motifs can assemble into large nanostructures on solid surface. Further studies reveal that the DNA-surface attractions can be controlled by the variety and concentration of cation in the bulk solution. Moreover, DNA nanostructures can be fabricated at very low motif concentrations, at which traditional solution assembly cannot render large nanostructures. Finally, assembly time course is also studied to reveal a superfast process for surface-assisted method compared with solution assembly.
 Based on this approach, I have extended my research scope from 1D to 2D structures assembled from various DNA motifs. In my studies, I have successfully realized conformational change regulated by DNA-surface interaction and steric effect. By introduction of DNA duplex “bridges” and unpaired nucleotide (nt) spacers, we can control the flexibility/rigidity of DNA nanomotifs, which helps to fabricate more delicate dodecagonal quasicrystals. The key point is to design the length of spacers. For 6-point-star motif, a rigid structure is required so that only 1-nt spacers are added. On the other hand, 3-nt spacers are incorporated to enable an inter-branch angle change from 60° to 90° for a more flexible 5-point-star motif. By tuning the ratio of 5 and 6 -point-star motifs in solution, we can obtain 2D networks from snub square tiling, dodecagonal tiling, a mixture of dodecagonal tiling and triangular tiling, and triangular tiling.
 Finally, I have explored the applications of my assembly method for patterning NPs. Tetragonal and hexagonal DNA 2D networks have been fabricated on mica surfaces and served as templates. Then modify the surfaces with positively-charged “glues”, e.g. poly-L-lysine (PLL) or Ni2+. After that, various NPs have been patterned into designated lattices, including individual DNA nanomotifs, gold NPs (AuNPs), proteins, and silica complexes. Observed NP lattices and fast Fourier Transform (FFT) patterns have demonstrated the DNA networks’ patterning effect on NPs.

description: Background: To determine a) proportions of behavior related health risk factors among job-seekers and b) to what extend these are related to self-rated health. Methods: Over 12 months, job-seekers were recruited at three job-agencies in northeastern Germany. Among all individuals eligible for study inclusion, 7,906 (79.8%) provided information on smoking, risky drinking, overweight/ obesity (body mass index), fruit and vegetable intake, physical inactivity, illicit drug use, and self-rated health. Proportions and 95% confidence intervals stratified by gender, age and duration of unemployment were calculated. Multivariate logistic regression analyses predicting self-rated health were conducted. Results: The proportions of each health-risk factor were high, and 52.4% of the sample (53.4% male, 33.5 years mean age) had 3 or more health risk factors. Mostly, the proportions were particularly high among men and longterm unemployed individuals; e.g. 84.8% of the 18-24 year old long-term unemployed men were current smokers. Proportions of substance use related health risk factors were highest among the 18-24 year olds (e.g. risky drinking 28.7%), and proportions of health risk factors related to nutrition and physical inactivity were highest among the 40-64 year olds (e.g. overweight/obesity 65.4%). Depending on gender, all health risk factors and having 3 or more health risk factors were associated with lower self-rated health; odd ratios ranged between 1.2 for smoking (95% CI: 1.0-1.3) and 1.7 for overweight and physical inactivity (95% CI: 1.5-1.9). Conclusions: Prevention efforts to reduce health risk factors and to increase health among job-seekers are needed, and job agencies appear a feasible setting for their implementation.

description: Bacterial distribution and antimicrobial drug resistance were monitored in patients with bacterial bloodstream infections in rural hospitals in Ghana. In 2001–2002 and in 2009, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi was the most prevalent pathogen. Although most S. enterica serovar Typhi isolates were chloramphenicol resistant, all isolates tested were susceptible to ciprofloxacin.

description: Accidental and intended Ricinus communis intoxications in humans and animals have been known for centuries but the causative agent remained elusive until 1888 when Stillmark attributed the toxicity to the lectin ricin. Ricinus communis is grown worldwide on an industrial scale for the production of castor oil. As by-product in castor oil production ricin is mass produced above 1 million tons per year. On the basis of its availability, toxicity, ease of preparation and the current lack of medical countermeasures, ricin has gained attention as potential biological warfare agent. The seeds also contain the less toxic, but highly homologous Ricinus communis agglutinin and the alkaloid ricinine, and especially the latter can be used to track intoxications. After oil extraction and detoxification, the defatted press cake is used as organic fertilizer and as low-value feed. In this context there have been sporadic reports from different countries describing animal intoxications after uptake of obviously insufficiently detoxified fertilizer. Observations in Germany over several years, however, have led us to speculate that the detoxification process is not always performed thoroughly and controlled, calling for international regulations which clearly state a ricin threshold in fertilizer. In this review we summarize knowledge on intended and unintended poisoning with ricin or castor seeds both in humans and animals, with a particular emphasis on intoxications due to improperly detoxified castor bean meal and forensic analysis.

description: Linezolidresistenz ist bei Staphylococcus (S.) aureus / Methicillin-resistenten Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) auch sieben Jahre nach der Einführung des Medikaments aus der Substanzgruppe der Oxazolidinone weltweit noch selten. Unter den diesbezüglich im Jahr 2007 an das Nationale Referenzzentrum (NRZ) für Staphylokokken aus Deutschland eingesandten 2.527 MRSA vom Menschen gab es nur ein Isolat mit Linezolidresistenz (spa-Sequenztyp t032, MRSA der klonalen Linie ST22, Barnim- Epidemiestamm). Das Isolat mit Resistenzen gegen Erythromycin, Clindamycin, Ciprofloxacin und Moxifloxacin wurde bei einem Patienten eines Berliner Krankenhauses mit nosokomialer Wundinfektion isoliert, der über drei Wochen lang mit Linezolid behandelt worden war. Im folgenden Beitrag wird das Auftreten von Linezolidresistenz bei MRSA der klonalen Linie ST239 beschrieben, der durch einen sehr breiten Resistenzphänotyp auffällt.

description: Since the nineteenth century, stage and film directors have mounted hundreds of adaptations of Shakespeare drawn on East Asian motifs, and by the late twentieth century, Shakespeare had become one of the most frequently performed playwrights in East Asia. There are five striking themes surrounding cultural, racial, and gender dynamics. Gender roles in the play take on new meanings in translation, and familiar and unfamiliar accents expanded the characters' racial identities. :::: https://blog.oup.com/2021/02/five-themes-in-asian-shakespeare-adaptations/

description: Demenzerkrankungen gehören zu den häufigsten und folgenreichsten neuropsychiatrischen Erkrankungen im höheren Lebensalter. Da bislang nur symptomatische Therapien zur Verfügung stehen, kommt der Prävention eine besondere Bedeutung zu, um den im Rahmen des demografischen Wandels zu erwartenden Anstieg der Krankheitslast durch Demenz zu mindern. Vaskuläre Risikofaktoren sind wahrscheinlich nicht nur für vaskuläre Demenzen, sondern auch für die Alzheimer-Demenz bedeutsam und stellen mögliche Ansatzpunkte für die Prävention dar. Die beste Evidenz zur Lebensstilprävention liegt dabei für Nichtrauchen, hohe körperliche Aktivität und gesunde Ernährung vor. Basierend auf den Ergebnissen prospektiver Observationsstudien ist auch die Behandlung von Hypertonus und Diabetes sowie eine Gewichtsreduktion bei Adipositas aussichtsreich zum Schutz der kognitiven Gesundheit.

description: The prevalence of social media in political campaigns are changing the face of politics in the United States and abroad. The rapid pace at which this change is occurring demands inquiry into the previously unexplored area of unconventional political campaign messaging practices on social media. Investigation of Donald Trump’s use of tweets as rhetorical strategy in the discursive space of Twitter during the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign revealed a bypass of traditional media and its source verification processes. This circumventing of mainstream media channels facilitated Trump’s deployment of an unchecked ‘broken system’ narrative alleging government corruption and a rigged system. Trump’s tweet discourses tapped into existing feelings of disenfranchisement and disaffection felt by a self-identified politically marginalized segment of society. This study investigates how social media use in political campaigns can serve as a public sphere for contestation of social and political norms. An interdisciplinary theoretical frame comprised of Feenberg’s critical theory of technology, McLuhan’s media ecology, Fraser’s counterpublic spheres, and Iser’s implied reader offer new understandings about the power of anti-establishment discourses and a hybrid discursive space to destabilize governing institutions and redefine social and political identities. Study of Trump’s tweets as rhetorical strategy granted insights into the social and political capacity of alternative truth to undermine the political process. Further, it uncovered the power of social media to awaken and leverage existing political identities for personal political gain.

description: Das Wissen von der Überlebensfähigkeit humanpathogener Erreger und Toxine ist im Kontext bioterroristischer Gefahrenlagen in einer besonderen Weise relevant: Ein profundes und detailliertes Wissen über die Rahmenbedingungen pathogener Wirkungsmechanismen ermöglicht eine adäquate und präzise Risikobewertung und ist eine Voraussetzung für die Abschätzung der Notwendigkeit weiterer Maßnahmen. Andererseits ermöglicht das Wissen über die Widerstandsfähigkeit von Erregern auch neue Ausbringungsmöglichkeiten als erweiterte Option bioterroristischer Gefährdungen – so wurde eine Veröffentlichung kontrovers diskutiert (und von der Publikation zeitweise zurückgezogen), die die Ausbringungsmöglichkeiten von Botulinumtoxin in Frischmilch untersucht hat. Dieser Beitrag gibt eine kurze Übersicht zur Problematik der Fragestellung und zu Forschungen zur Tenazität von Bakterien und Toxinen. Er verdeutlicht außerdem die methodischen Schwierigkeiten, mit denen dieser Forschungsbereich konfrontiert ist. Abschließend wird das Spannungsfeld zwischen effektiver und effizienter Dekontamination einerseits und einer Verhinderung der Proliferation von sensitivem Wissen andererseits zur Diskussion gestellt.

How Students’ Gender and Sex Affects Comfort with Instructor Immediacy Behaviors
Creators: name: Machette, Anthony T
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Communication studies

description: This is a two-part study that investigated university students’ comfort with instructors’ nonverbal immediacy behaviors in a college classroom. A sample of 289 participants was drawn from a regional university in the Midwest. The participants were asked to respond to an instrument designed to measure the students’ comfort with an instructors’ nonverbal immediacy behaviors. In the first study, the results do not support the hypothesis that males are significantly more comfortable with immediacy behaviors than female students. The results also do not support the hypotheses that students of both sexes will be more comfortable with immediacy behaviors from female instructors than male instructors,or that of the four possible combinations, female students with male instructors will be the least comfortable with immediacy behaviors. In the second study, the results suggest that student gender does not have a significant effect on students’ comfort with instructor immediacy behaviors.
