Isolation and Annotation of the Genome Sequences of Bacteriophages InvictusManeo (Subcluster K5) and Netyap (Subcluster L2).

The mycobacteriophages InvictusManeo (K5 subcluster) and Netyap (L2 subcluster) were isolated from soils in Cullowhee Creek, Cullowhee, North Carolina. Both exhibit morphology and infect Mycobacterium smegmatis mc155. The InvictusManeo genome is 61,147 bp and contains 96 predicted protein-coding genes, whereas the Netyap genome is 76,366 bp with 131 predicted protein-coding genes.

Evaluation of Genome Sequences of the Bacteriophages JeTaime and Luna22.

The mycobacteriophages JeTaime (E cluster) and Luna22 (Q cluster) were isolated from soil in Providence, Rhode Island, and Charleston, South Carolina, respectively, using a Mycobacterium smegmatis mc 155 host. The genome of JeTaime is 75,099 bp (142 predicted genes), and that of Luna22 is 53,730 bp (87 predicted genes). Both phages exhibit morphology.

Risk of in-hospital falls among medications commonly used for insomnia in hospitalized patients.

Study Objectives: To investigate the risk of in-hospital falls among patients receiving medications commonly used for insomnia in the hospital setting.

Methods: Retrospective cohort study of all adult hospitalizations to a large academic medical center from January, 2007 to July, 2013. We excluded patients admitted for a primary psychiatric disorder.

Hepatic resection is associated with reduced postoperative opioid requirement.

Background And Aims: Postoperative pain can significantly affect surgical outcomes. As opioid metabolism is liver-dependent, any reduction in hepatic volume can lead to increased opioid concentrations in the blood. The hypothesis of this retrospective study was that patients undergoing open hepatic resection would require less opioid for pain management than those undergoing open pancreaticoduodenectomy.
