Case report: Nonsimultaneous bilateral triceps tendon rupture and surgical repair in a healthy dog.

A 7-year-old female spayed Australian shepherd dog was presented for an acute onset of inability to stand. On physical examination, the dog was unable to support weight on the thoracic limbs. On neurological examination, the thoracic limbs had absent hopping and paw placement and reduced withdrawal reflexes bilaterally.

Small CBPR Grants Program: An Innovative Model to Build Sustainable Academic-Community Partnerships.

Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is an effective approach for addressing health disparities by integrating diverse knowledge and expertise from both academic and community partners throughout the research process. However, more is needed to invest in the foundational infrastructure and resources that are necessary for building and maintaining lasting trusting research partnerships and supporting them to generate impactful CBPR-based research knowledge and solutions. Small CBPR Grants Program is a CBPR-seed-funding program that may be particularly helpful to minority-serving institutions' and universities' goal to invest in genuine community-engaged participatory research.

Natural protein engineering in the Ω-loop: the role of Y221 in ceftazidime and ceftolozane resistance in -derived cephalosporinase.

A wide variety of clinically observed single amino acid substitutions in the Ω-loop region have been associated with increased minimum inhibitory concentrations and resistance to ceftazidime (CAZ) and ceftolozane (TOL) in -derived cephalosporinase and other class C β-lactamases. Herein, we demonstrate the naturally occurring tyrosine to histidine substitution of amino acid 221 (Y221H) in -derived cephalosporinase (PDC) enables CAZ and TOL hydrolysis, leading to similar kinetic profiles ( = 2.3 ± 0.

Best Practices for Evaluation and Treatment of Agitated Children and Adolescents (BETA) in the Emergency Department: Consensus Statement of the American Association for Emergency Psychiatry.

Introduction: Agitation in children and adolescents in the emergency department (ED) can be dangerous and distressing for patients, family and staff. We present consensus guidelines for management of agitation among pediatric patients in the ED, including non-pharmacologic methods and the use of immediate and as-needed medications.

Methods: Using the Delphi method of consensus, a workgroup comprised of 17 experts in emergency child and adolescent psychiatry and psychopharmacology from the the American Association for Emergency Psychiatry and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Emergency Child Psychiatry Committee sought to create consensus guidelines for the management of acute agitation in children and adolescents in the ED.

Centralizing Evaluation to Amplify the Impact of Focused Grantmaking and Capacity Building Across a Southern US Large-Scale HIV Initiative.

Education, Training and Research Associates (ETR) employed a centralized evaluation (CE) approach to monitor progress toward COMPASS (COMmitment to Partnership in Addressing HIV/AIDS in Southern States) goals and demonstrate the impact of grantmaking, capacity-building, and HIV-related service delivery. Evaluators 1) developed streamlined surveys to capture people served and impact; 2) held routine meetings with partners to contextualize data; 3) implemented partner feedback loops for refinement; and 4) provided partners with evaluation technical assistance. This streamlined the evaluation process for more than 350 organizations serving people living with HIV (PLWH), which permitted timely outcomes and impact data.
