TL;DR: Patients with active Uveitis at study entry who received adalimumab therapy were likely to achieve quiescence, improve visual acuity, and reduce their daily uveitis-related systemic corticosteroid use.

TL;DR: A cross-sectional survey for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was conducted with 234 Brazilian ambulance workers using a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-Civilian Version, and the Short Form Health Survey-36, where workers with PTSD showed impairment in the physical and mental domains of the SF-36.
Abstract: A cross-sectional survey for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was conducted with 234 Brazilian ambulance workers (180 men and 54 women) using a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-Civilian Version, and the Short Form Health Survey-36. Current prevalence rates for full and partial PTSD were 5.6% (men = 6.7%, women = 1.9%) and 15% (men = 13.3%, women = 20.4%), respectively. Male workers with full PTSD were more likely to be nonmarried (75% vs. 43%) and those with partial PTSD reported more emotional problems (65.2% vs. 30%) and medical visits (67% vs. 44%) than the controls. Workers with PTSD showed impairment in the physical and mental domains of the SF-36, whereas workers with partial PTSD had only the later compromised. The characteristics and the level of exposure to trauma of the study population may account for the low prevalence of PTSD.

TL;DR: The first linezolid-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain isolated in Brazil was isolated from a 10-year-old female patient with cystic fibrosis who received repeated and prolonged courses of low-dose lineZolid, and the G2576U mutation was identified in domain V of the 23S rRNA.

TL;DR: Coronary calcification is highly prevalent in pre-dialysis patients and correlates with traditional and non-traditional risk factors for CVD.
Abstract: Background. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death among end-stage renal disease patients. There is evidence that coronary calcification is a marker of atherosclerotic vascular disease and is predictive of cardiovascular events, especially in patients on renal replacement therapy. It has recently been suggested that CHD begins in the pre-dialysis period. However, data regarding coronary calcification in this population is scarce. This study was aimed at evaluating such coronary calcification and identifying related factors. Methods. A total of 96 chronic kidney disease outpatients who were not on dialysis were included. Patients presenting neoplastic, infectious or inflammatory diseases were excluded. Demographic characteristics, clinical profiles, laboratory test results and multislice computed tomography scans were evaluated. Results. The median age was 55 years (range 20–69 years), 67% were men and the median creatinine clearance was 37 ml/min/1.73 m 2 . Coronary calcification, defined as a coronary artery calcification score (CACS) >0 Agatston units (AU), was seen in 61 patients (median 89.1 AU, range 0.37–2299.3 AU). On average, these patients were older, more often had diabetes, higher body mass indices and higher Framingham risk indices, as well as presenting higher proteinuria, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), blood glucose and triglyceride levels compared with those without calcification. Multiple logistic regression analysis, adjusted for age and diabetes, identified iPTH and triglyceride levels as independent determinants of calcification. Severe calcification (CACS >400 AU) was seen in 22 patients, who were also older and more frequently had a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD), as well as having higher levels of phosphorus, blood glucose and soluble Fas (sFas).
