Comparison of characteristics of patients infected by Campylobacter jejuni, Campylobacter coli, and Campylobacter fetus.

A large database of Campylobacter isolates precisely identified at the species level was used to compare patients' characteristics. In a multivariate analysis, Campylobacter coli was found more often in older patients and in patients having traveled abroad and less often in summertime than Campylobacter jejuni. Campylobacter fetus infection occurred in much older patients and in hospitalized patients with a systemic disease.

Distraction and driving: results from a case-control responsibility study of traffic crash injured drivers interviewed at the emergency room.

Background: Use of cellular phones has been shown to be associated with crashes but many external distractions remain to be studied.

Objective: To assess the risk associated with diversion of attention due to unexpected events or secondary tasks at the wheel.

Design: Responsibility case-control study.

Mind wandering and driving: responsibility case-control study.

Objective: To assess the association between mind wandering (thinking unrelated to the task at hand) and the risk of being responsible for a motor vehicle crash.

Design: Responsibility case-control study.

Setting: Adult emergency department of a university hospital in France, April 2010 to August 2011.
