Deer keds (Lipoptena cervi), an introduced European species, are expanding their geographic range in North America. We document their first recorded presence in Québec, Canada, map their distribution, and highlight the detection of pathogens of potential public health relevance. In the Estrie region of southern Québec, 47 deer keds (L.

- SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted from humans to animals, which may create new reservoirs and develop variants that could lead to future human outbreaks.
- During a study in Antwerp, researchers tested Norway rats from the sewer system for SARS-CoV-2 after a COVID-19 peak, focusing on detecting the virus and antibodies.
- All 39 tissue samples tested negative for the virus, and while three rat serum samples appeared positive for antibodies, they did not neutralize the virus, indicating no infection; yet, ongoing monitoring is recommended due to potential new variants.

Patient factors and outcomes associated with the withdrawal or withholding of life-sustaining therapies in mechanically ventilated brain-injured patients: An observational multicentre study.
Eur J Anaesthesiol
July 2018
Background: Knowledge of the factors associated with the decision to withdraw or withhold life support (WWLS) in brain-injured patients is limited. However, most deaths in these patients may involve such a decision.
Objectives: To identify factors associated with the decision to WWLS in brain-injured patients requiring mechanical ventilation who survive the first 24 h in the ICU, and to analyse the outcomes and time to death.
