[Clostridioides difficile infection diagnosis].

Clostridioides difficile is a Gram-positive, spore-forming anaerobic enteropathogen responsible for a wide spectrum of clinical diseases ranging from mild diarrhoea to pseudomembranous colitis. It is the first cause of healthcare-associated diarrhoeas, but community-associated Clostridioides difficile infections (CDI) are increasingly reported in patients without the common risk factors (age > 65 years, previous antibiotic treatment). The main C.

Toward a Unified, Inclusive, and Standardized Approach for Assessing Help-Seeking Behavior in Eating Disorder Populations: A Commentary on Ali et al. (2024).

Ali et al. (2024) found that help-seeking rates remain low among individuals meeting the diagnostic criteria for eating disorders (EDs). Their review highlighted variability in definitions of help-seeking and a lack of adequate representation of marginalized groups across the included studies.

One-year risk of multiple sclerosis after a first episode of optic neuritis according to modern diagnosis criteria.

Purpose: The last updates to diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis (MS) included a diagnostic category of 'possible MS'. However, no recent data is available to assess how much this distinction helps predict MS after isolated optic neuritis (ON). This study aimed to assess the global risk of developing MS one year after a first ON episode, and the specific risk according to the initial diagnosis of isolated ON or ON with possible MS.

Persistence of OXA-48-producing ST-22 in patients and the hospital environment, Paris, France, 2016 to 2022.

In 2016-2019, hospital A's haematology ward experienced an outbreak of OXA-48-producing ST-22 strains, with toilets identified as source of transmission. Between 2020 and 2022, 28 strains of OXA-48-producing ST-22 were isolated on other wards. This study aimed to determine whether all OXA-48-producing ST-22 strains belonged to the same clone and to investigate the persistence of this clone using whole genome sequencing.

Peer mentors' experiences of delivering peer support for individuals with eating disorders: giving back and supporting processes of change.

Peer support is a promising approach to increasing hope, engagement, and connection for those with eating disorders (EDs). Emerging literature explores peer mentors' experiences of providing support, suggesting that mentors often benefit from providing peer support, particularly when well trained and supervised. We conducted semi-structured interviews or focus groups with 15 individuals providing peer support (one-on-one, group, or chat) to individuals with EDs.
