The Reality of Medical Reality Television: Analysis of Physician Demographics, Trauma, and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Characteristics.

Background Television and media have a profound effect on viewers' understanding and interpretation of the world we live in. Reality television can be even more influential to viewers given its depiction of "real life". Materials and methods Every episode (n=46) was analyzed from five medical reality television shows.

Defining Biological Phenotypes of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Using Saliva MicroRNA Profiles.

Concussion is a heterogeneous injury that relies predominantly on subjective symptom reports for patient assessment and treatment. Developing an objective, biological test could aid phenotypic categorization of concussion patients, leading to advances in personalized treatment. This prospective multi-center study employed saliva micro-ribonucleic acid (miRNA) levels to stratify 251 individuals with concussion into biological subgroups.

A Case of Cefepime-Induced Neurotoxicity: Renal Function Missing in Action.

Cefepime is a renally excreted, fourth-generation cephalosporin used in the treatment of severe abdominal, skin, soft tissue, and urinary tract infections due to its broad-spectrum coverage. Cefepime-induced neurotoxicity is a rare but serious side effect that has increased in recent years likely due to increased antibiotic use, increased drug resistance, and increased symptom recognition. While decreased glomerular filtration rate is an important risk factor for developing elevated serum cefepime levels, recent literature has suggested that a significant proportion of patients with normal renal function can also develop neurotoxicity from cefepime.

Genome Sequences of Six Cluster N Mycobacteriophages, Kevin1, Nenae, Parmesanjohn, ShrimpFriedEgg, Smurph, and SpongeBob, Isolated on Mycobacterium smegmatis mc155.

The annotation of six cluster N phages (Kevin1, Nenae, Parmesanjohn, ShrimpFriedEgg, Smurph, and SpongeBob) reveals regions of genomic diversity, particularly within the central region of the genome. The genome of Kevin1 includes two orphams (genes with no similarity to other phage genes), with one predicted to encode an AAA-ATPase.
