Background: Women may receive suboptimal pain management compared with men, and this disparity might be related to gender stereotypes.
Objectives: To assess the influence of patient gender on the management of acute low back pain.
Design: We assessed pain management by 231 physicians using an online clinical vignette describing a consultation for acute low back pain in a female or male patient.
Background And Importance: The Swiss Emergency Triage Scale (SETS) is an adult triage tool used in several emergency departments. It has been recently adapted to the pediatric population but, before advocating for its use, performance assessment of this tool is needed.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability and the accuracy of the pediatric version of the SETS for the triage of pediatric patients.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is initiated by the inhalation and implantation of bacteria in the lung alveoli, where they are phagocytosed by macrophages. Even a single bacterium may be sufficient to initiate infection. Thereafter, the clinical outcome is highly variable between individuals, ranging from sterilization to active disease, for reasons that are not well understood.

- Fluorescent d-amino acids (FDAAs) have been developed to visualize bacterial cell wall growth, particularly peptidoglycan (PG) biosynthesis.
- Super-resolution microscopy is necessary to resolve details of PG because most bacterial cells are near the diffraction limit of visible light.
- New FDAAs have been synthesized for one-step labeling and enable imaging of PG at the nanoscale in various bacterial species, providing researchers with enhanced tools for studying cell wall dynamics.
