Objectives: We aimed to describe the characteristics of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in cancer patients, analysing risk factors for 90-day recurrence and attributable mortality.
Methods: Retrospective analysis on all CDI episodes from 2020 to 2022 in three Australian hospitals and one Spanish hospital. Logistic regression analyses were performed.
Article Synopsis
- The bioblitz trend, especially the City Nature Challenge (CNC), allows cities to engage residents in biodiversity efforts while addressing local environmental issues.
- Although many cities participate, there's a lack of methods to assess how the CNC enhances local biodiversity knowledge and government practices.
- The article proposes a framework for evaluation, showing that CNC data helps understand local biodiversity better and empowers local governments to make cost-effective, evidence-based decisions, while promoting community environmental involvement.
Injury to the meninges is not uncommon after traumatic brain injury (TBI), yet minimal research has been directed toward understanding the relevant biology. After a concussive event, the meninges are observed to abnormally enhance on post-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in some patients, but not all. The aim of this work is to identify genes differentially expressed in patients with meningeal injury.
