Article Synopsis
- A study on incarceration at Cook County Jail revealed that a significant 19% of the 800 males were already colonized with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) upon intake.
- The research identified predictors for MRSA acquisition during incarceration, notably prior heroin use and sharing personal items, with 12 out of 184 detainees acquiring MRSA by Day 30.
- Genomic analysis indicated that MRSA strains were closely related among detainees, suggesting transmission within the jail, especially among individuals who shared living spaces or personal items.
Dioctophyma renale (D. renale), or giant kidney worms, are the largest nematodes that infect mammals. Approximately 20 cases of human infection have been reported.

A comprehensive literature analysis of clinical publications and register reports was conducted with the main endpoints revision surgery and revision rate. Sixteen relevant clinical studies have been found to significantly underestimate revision rates by a ratio of 2.

Methods: We compared the outcome of clinical inventor studies, independent clinical studies, and worldwide register data. The main endpoints for analysis were revision rates.
Background: Characterizing pathogens responsible for recreational waterborne gastrointestinal illness is important in estimating risk and developing management strategies to prevent infection. Although water recreation is associated with sporadic cases of gastrointestinal illness, pathogens responsible for such illness are not well characterized.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted enrolling non-water recreators (such as cyclists and joggers) and two groups of limited-contact waters recreators (such as boaters and kayakers): those on an effluent-dominated urban waterway and those on general use waters.
