TL;DR: This work presents a meta-analysis of 125 cases of Clostridium difficile infection in mice over a 12-month period and shows clear patterns of disease progression that are consistent with tick-borne disease and suggest fungal infection.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The proposed local Shannon entropy measure overcomes several weaknesses of the conventional global Shannon entropyMeasure, including unfair randomness comparisons between images of different sizes, failure to discern image randomness before and after image shuffling, and possible inaccurate scores for synthesized images.

TL;DR: These results are consistent with a model where EBV uses the normal biology of B lymphocytes to gain access to and persist within the long-lived memory B cell compartment.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Recommendations on the use of prophylactic HPV vaccines, including who should be vaccinated and at what age, as well as a summary of policy and implementation issues, and implications for screening are discussed.
Abstract: The American Cancer Society (ACS) has developed guidelines for the use of the prophylactic human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine for the prevention of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer. These recommendations are based on a formal review of the available evidence. They address the use of prophylactic HPV vaccines, including who should be vaccinated and at what age, as well as a summary of policy and implementation issues. Implications for screening are also discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe emergency care systems and the extent of crowding across 15 countries outside of the United States: Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Iran, Italy, The Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Catalonia (Spain), Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
Abstract: The maturation of emergency medicine (EM) as a specialty has coincided with dramatic increases in emergency department (ED) visit rates, both in the United States and around the world ED crowding has become a public health problem where periodic supply and demand mismatches in ED and hospital resources cause long waiting times and delays in critical treatments ED crowding has been associated with several negative clinical outcomes, including higher complication rates and mortality This article describes emergency care systems and the extent of crowding across 15 countries outside of the United States: Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Iran, Italy, The Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Catalonia (Spain), Sweden, and the United Kingdom The authors are local emergency care leaders with knowledge of emergency care in their particular countries Where available, data are provided about visit patterns in each country; however, for many of these countries, no national data are available on ED visits rates or crowding For most of the countries included, there is both objective evidence of increases in ED visit rates and ED crowding and also subjective assessments of trends toward higher crowding in the ED ED crowding appears to be worsening in many countries despite the presence of universal health coverage Scandinavian countries with robust systems to manage acute care outside the ED do not report crowding is a major problem The main cause for crowding identified by many authors is the boarding of admitted patients, similar to the United States Many hospitals in these countries have implemented operational interventions to mitigate crowding in the ED, and some countries have imposed strict limits on ED length of stay (LOS), while others have no clear plan to mitigate crowding An understanding of the causes and potential solutions implemented in these countries can provide a lens into how to mitigate ED crowding in the United States through health policy interventions and hospital operational changes
