In the physical to digital transition with friends - a story of performing inclusive research together no matter what life throws at you.

Background: As part of 'The Hub' project at Wellcome Collection, a team of eight co-researchers with learning disabilities alongside academics created an online survey to challenge public understanding of learning disabilities. Using creative and arts-based methods, co-researchers remotely co-analysed the survey results amid Covid-19 lockdown challenges. Here, we explore our unexpected 'transition' journey from the physical 'Hub' to the digital space.

Supporting Remote Survey Data Analysis by Co-researchers with Learning Disabilities through Inclusive and Creative Practices and Data Science Approaches.

Through a process of robust co-design, we created a bespoke accessible survey platform to explore the role of co-researchers with learning disabilities (LDs) in research design and analysis. A team of co-researchers used this system to create an online survey to challenge public understanding of LDs [3]. Here, we describe and evaluate the process of remotely co-analyzing the survey data across 30 meetings in a research team consisting of academics and non-academics with diverse abilities amid new COVID-19 lockdown challenges.

"We have been magnified for years - Now you are under the microscope!": Co-researchers with Learning Disabilities Created an Online Survey to Challenge Public Understanding of Learning Disabilities.

Public attitudes towards learning disabilities (LDs) are generally reported as positive, inclusive and empathetic. However, these findings do not reflect the lived experiences of people with LDs. To shed light on this disparity, a team of co-researchers with LDs created the first online survey to challenge public understanding of LDs, asking questions in ways that are important to them and represent how they see themselves.

Renal abscess caused by a Providencia stuartii isolate biochemically misidentified as Pasteurella.

Providencia stuartii is associated with urinary tract infection (UTI) in catheterized patients. Here we report an abscess containing P. stuartii in a patient with a history of UTI, renal stones, and stent placement.

Multistate outbreak of Pseudomonas fluorescens bloodstream infection after exposure to contaminated heparinized saline flush prepared by a compounding pharmacy.

Background: Pharmaceutical compounding, the manipulation of ingredients to create a customized medication, is a widespread practice. In January 2005, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was notified of 4 cases of Pseudomonas fluorescens bacteremia that were traced to contaminated heparinized saline intravenous flush syringes prepared as a compounded medical product.

Patients And Methods: We reviewed medical records of symptomatic patients with P.

A retained sponge is a complication of vacuum-assisted closure therapy.

Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) system has become a widely used, efficacious, and overall safe method for managing many types of open wounds. The authors present a case of a rare but avoidable complication caused by a retained piece of sponge after VAC therapy (KCI Inc, San Antonio, TX). They emphasize the need for awareness and careful evaluation of the patient who receives VAC therapy to avoid diagnostic confusion and morbidity to the patient.

Group G Streptococcus spinal epidural abscess: case report and review of the literature.

Group G streptococci have been identified as a recently emerging pathogen. Spinal epidural abscess is an infrequent but well described infection of the central nervous system that may present with non-specific clinical symptoms and physical examination findings. Group G streptococci are a rare cause of spinal epidural abscess that should be considered in the clinical picture so that appropriate therapy can be initiated in a timely fashion.
