A qualitative evaluation of the hot debrief/follow-up initiative: Implications of readily identifying positive outcomes in an Australian emergency department.

Aim: To gain insight into how emergency department nurses and doctors perceive the experience of being offered the opportunity to request a patient follow-up as part of a structured debrief initiative.

Background: An increased prevalence of burnout and compassion fatigue amongst emergency clinicians is being recognized globally. A wellbeing initiative has been implemented within a large public hospital emergency department to combat these phenomena.

Genome Plasticity in Cultured : Comparison of Early and Late Passages.

possesses a complex heteroxenic life cycle where infective metacyclic promastigotes are pre-adapted to infect their host and cope up with intracellular stress. Exploiting the similarities between cultured and sandfly derived promastigotes, we used early and late passage cultured promastigotes to show specific changes at genome level which compromise pathogen fitness reflected in gene expression and infection studies. The pathogen loses virulence mostly transcriptional and translational regulations and long-time cultivation makes them struggle to convert to virulent metacyclics.

Helicobacter pylori strains harboring babA2 from Indian sub population are associated with increased virulence in ex vivo study.

Background: The babA2 gene along with the cagA and vacA of Helicobacter pylori has been considered as a risk factor for the disease outcome in certain populations. This study was aimed to understand the role of babA2 of H. pylori with the background of cagA and vacA in disease manifestations in Indian sub population.

Host cell contact induces fur-dependent expression of virulence factors CagA and VacA in Helicobacter pylori.

Background: Helicobacter pylori, a gram negative bacterium, colonizes the stomach in a majority of the world population. The two major virulence factors of H. pylori VacA and CagA, thought to be associated with chronic inflammation and disease, have been extensively studied, but the regulation of the expression of these virulence genes in H.
