Introduction: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a frequent and costly cause of pediatric emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations. Previous prognostic tools for CAP are limited by small samples, single-center or retrospective designs, lack of generalizability to ED settings, lack of biomarkers, or limited objective data. To overcome these limitations, we will derive and externally validate a prediction rule for pediatric CAP severity in a large, multicenter prospective cohort.
Methods: This is a prospective cohort study of children 3 months to 18 years old with CAP who present to EDs within the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network. Enrollment began 8/2023 …

Research outputs 2022 to 2026
Growth anomalies (GAs) are coral diseases characterised by tumour-like skeletal lesions reported globally, yet their causes remain poorly understood. Microorganisms are integral to coral health, but the role of bacterial communities in GAs remains unclear. We investigated an outbreak of GAs in Isopora palifera at the Cocos (Keeling) Islands using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing to compare bacterial communities of GA-affected and asymptomatic corals, surrounding water and potential pollution sources. Significant differences in bacterial beta diversity were observed across sites, with an interaction between location and coral health status. Coral and water samples hosted distinct microbial communities, but there was no …

Direct Pcr Detection And Identification Of Campylobacter Species In Chicken Livers Without Enrichment, Yahya Ali
University of Bisha Journal for Basic and Applied Sciences
Campylobacter bacteria are the causative agents of human foodborne acute enteric disease, ``campylobacteriosis''. Poultry meat is considered the primary source of this infection. This study was conducted to evaluate the use of multiplex polymerase chain reaction (multiplex PCR) for the direct detection of Campylobacter species from chilled chicken livers without an enrichment step, in comparison with the traditional culture-based method. Thirty chilled chicken liver samples were collected from supermarkets in Jazan City, representing six commercial poultry companies (A, B, C, D, E, and F). Samples were homogenized with buffered peptone water before being subjected to a multiplex PCR to detect …

Previous research has indicated that an NGO’s funding stream can limit its organizational decision making and inadvertently cause NGOs to place the priorities of donors over that of their beneficiaries. Additionally, Western-international NGOs operating in the Global South have been accused of engaging and perpetuating imbalanced power structures, often facing accusations of racism. To analyze these issues, I conducted a quantitative analysis of financial reports in conjunction with a qualitative analysis of activity reports in Mali in the past 20 years. My findings indicate that MSF’s past collaboration with the Malian government and decision to reject state funding allows the …

Discovering Antimicrobial Compounds In Valparaiso University’S Medicinal Garden, Gracie Holt, Megan Wolf, Hannah Gabriel
Symposium on Research and Creative Expression (SORCE)
Abstract: According to the W.H.O. (2024 data), infectious diseases account for three of the top ten global causes of death. Antimicrobial drug discovery surged in the mid-twentieth century but has sharply declined in recent years. At the same time, antimicrobial-resistant “superbug” infections are on the rise. Plants produce a robust array of novel metabolic compounds including many antimicrobial agents. However, with the advent of modern antibiotic drugs, natural plant-derived antibiotic sources have largely been left unexplored. Therefore, our work focuses on screening medicinal plants in hopes of discovering novel antimicrobial drugs. To accomplish this, we have been testing extracts of …

Vaccines are widely used in both research and clinical settings. To facilitate FAIR data practices, we urgently need to standardize vaccine representation, integrate information across diverse vaccine types, and support computer-assisted reasoning. Accordingly, we have since 2007 developed the community-based Vaccine Ontology (VO), which aligns with the Basic Formal Ontology and adheres to OBO Foundry principles. VO ontologically models vaccines, vaccine components, vaccine immune responses, vaccine investigation studies and other vaccine-related topics. VO represents more than 10,000 vaccines targeting 289 infectious pathogens and cancers in humans and over 30 nonhuman animal species. VO provides mappings to external resources such as …
Survival Of The Fittest: Extremophilic Actinomycetes As The Future Of Antibiotic Treatment, Kyley Nelson, Ben Reddan
Survival Of The Fittest: Extremophilic Actinomycetes As The Future Of Antibiotic Treatment, Kyley Nelson, Ben Reddan
Celebrating Scholarship and Creativity Day (2018-)
The antibiotic resistance crisis is an emerging global health threat. In 2019 alone, 1.27 million deaths were attributed to antibiotic-resistant pathogens, and researchers predict the problem will worsen without intervention. Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has become a primary model for this crisis because it utilizes genomic adaptations to bypass β-lactam antibiotics. Although temperate actinomycetes have historically provided the majority of clinical antibiotics, recent bioprospecting has revealed that extremophilic actinomycetes represent a critical untapped resource. These organisms exhibit several adaptations to thrive in extreme environments, which results in the production of novel secondary metabolites and resilient extracellular enzymes. This literature review …

Investigating The Synthesis And Antibacterial Activity Of A Main-Chain Cationic Polymer, Emily Smith
Honors Theses
Antibiotic resistance is a growing threat to public health. Due to the overuse of antibiotics in agriculture, the overprescription of antibiotics, and the misuse of antibiotics by patients, antibiotic resistance is spreading at an alarming rate. As antibiotic resistance spreads, the antibiotics we depend on to treat common infections become ineffective. Therefore, it is imperative to develop novel treatments for infections that do not increase the prevalence of antibiotic resistance. One treatment being explored is the use of synthetic polymers with antibacterial properties. Synthetic polymers are advantageous because they can be synthesized from widely available precursors and their structure is …

INTRODUCTION: Newborns who are born too soon, too small or sick are a vulnerable group who require special/high-dependency/intensive care after birth. Infant and Family-Centred Developmental Care (IFCDC) is an integrated healthcare approach that prioritises and values parental/familial involvement and participation by fostering competencies in essential newborn care skills and thus parental empowerment. There is a paucity of data globally on the IFCDC practice and the challenges faced by parents/caregivers during hospitalisation and post-discharge and the potential country-specific support.
OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of the HOPE study (Global Study on Newborn HOspitalization and Parental Experiences) is to assess parents'/caregivers' experiences, needs …

A consistent postmortem finding in schizophrenia (SCZ) is reduction in dendrites' size. However, neurons with larger dendritic trees have also been encountered. In vitro experiments with neurons and neuronal-like cells coming directly from patients with SCZ showed similar results, evidencing at times more extensions and at others less arborizations. The process of extending and retracting neuronal outgrowths depends on microtubules polymerization and depolymerization. The possibility that microtubule polymerization/depolymerization is related to defects in the neuronal structure comes from several microtubular anomalies reported in SCZ such as its abnormal distribution in the cytoplasm, irregular shape of microtubules and even absence of …

Individuals with sickle cell disease (SCD) frequently experience intense, unanticipated pain episodes known as vaso-occlusive events (VOEs), which often require emergency department (ED) treatment. However, they often report suboptimal experiences in the ED. Using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this study aimed to elicit salient beliefs regarding SCD patient experience in the ED. Three virtual focus group sessions were conducted with individuals with SCD recruited through a Texas SCD Association and Rare Patient Voice. Nine open-ended questions were used to elicit participants' behavioral, normative, and control beliefs regarding ED use when experiencing VOEs. Qualitative analysis was performed using a …

Introduction: Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare syndrome characterized by overactive immune activation, cytokine storm, and uncontrolled hemophagocytosis. Primary HLH is familial and most often seen in infants, whereas secondary HLH occurs more frequently in adults and is triggered by infections, malignancies, or autoimmune disorders. Clinically, secondary HLH often mimics sepsis but fails to respond to standard therapies, contributing to delayed diagnosis and treatment. Without timely intervention, HLH can result in extensive tissue damage, multiorgan failure, and death. In rare cases, central nervous system (CNS) involvement may occur, manifesting as histiocytic infiltration that can be misinterpreted as malignancy or infection. …
