Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the relationship between weather variables and various pathogens linked to infectious conjunctivitis globally.
- Researchers analyzed data from 498 cases across 8 countries, correlating pathogen types with weather data, particularly looking at temperature, precipitation, and humidity.
- Findings indicated that higher humidity and precipitation increased the likelihood of RNA virus and fungal infections while decreasing the odds of DNA virus and bacterial infections, highlighting the complex influence of weather on conjunctivitis-related pathogens.
Importance: Acute infectious conjunctivitis is a common ocular condition with major public health consequences.
Objective: To assess regional variations and microbial etiologies of acute infectious conjunctivitis to guide treatment.
Design, Setting, And Participants: In this cross-sectional study, patients with presumed acute infectious conjunctivitis were enrolled in the study at 5 sites (Honolulu, Hawaii; Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego, California; and Petah-Tikva, Israel) from March 2021 to March 2023.
We examine how social status-the amount of respect and admiration conferred by others-is related to leader ratings of team member voice. In a field study using 373 West Point cadets nested in 60 squads, we find that there are two countervailing pathways linking social status to leader voice ratings: A positive path via instrumental network centrality and a negative path via perceived image risk. In addition, we show that these relationships are contingent upon a relational moderator, such that high-quality team interpersonal relationships weakened the positive indirect effect via instrumental network centrality but strengthened the negative indirect effect via image risk.

PD-L1 immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays act as either a companion or a complementary diagnostic. The purpose of this study is to describe the experience of external quality assurance (EQA) provider UK NEQAS ICC and ISH with the comparison of different PD-L1 assays used in daily practice.

Background: Pressure ulcers have been an underappreciated hospital-acquired condition in children. Children have distinct anatomic, physiologic, and developmental factors that alter how pressure ulcers occur, but nurses may not recognize the pediatric patient as at risk because of lack of knowledge and tools to assess skin, identify risk factors, and recognize or stage pressure ulcers.
