The Prevalence of Multidrug Resistance in Enterobacterales Is Higher in Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a global public health emergency. Patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) are at increased risk for severe infections with multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms, although more data are needed on the relative burden of MDR Enterobacterales (MDR-E) in immunocompromised populations. In this study, we compare the prevalence of Enterobacterales resistance in cultures from patients undergoing HCT with that of non-HCT patients seeking care at a large healthcare system in North Carolina, USA.

Laypersons' Recognition of and Attribution of Blame in Situations Involving Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking.

Successful identification of domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST) remains challenging. Laypersons could play a significant role in identifying victims, but only if laypersons recognize trafficking situations as such and do not incorrectly attribute responsibility to victims. In the current study, we examined laypersons' perceptions of situations highly suggestive of DMST.

What goals do people have for who they want to be emotionally? Exploring long-term emotional goals.

The goals that people have for their emotions are crucial for whether emotion regulation is pursued, as well as the regulation strategies people select. However, emotional goals may extend beyond the emotions people want to feel to include long-term goals for how people want to be emotionally in the future. In two studies, we qualitatively explored people's long-term emotional goals (i.

Endocarditis Mimicking ANCA-Associated Vasculitis.

Bacterial endocarditis presents as inflammation of the endocardium and valves of the 4 layers of the heart. The presentation and sequelae of bacterial endocarditis may vary and in certain circumstances may mimic rheumatologic disease. Antinuclear cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-positive bacterial endocarditis constitutes a special subgroup of bacterial endocarditis.
