Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of toxigenic and infections at health care facility-onset (HCFO) and community-onset (CO), in two health care centers (HCC) in Bogotá, Colombia. A total of 220 stool samples from patients presenting diarrhea acquired at HCFO or CO were analyzed by several PCR tests.
Results: We found that 65.5% (n = 144) of the population had infection, followed by toxigenic with 57.3% (n = 126), and finally toxigenic with a frequency of 32.7% (n = 72).
Conclusions: This study is the first molecular detection and characterization of and in HCFO and CO in Latin America and demonstrates a relevant frequency of these two species, including coinfection and strikingly diverse toxigenic profiles, especially in the CO.

Background: Alström syndrome (AS) is a recessively inherited genetic condition which is ultra-rare and extremely complex. Symptoms include retinal dystrophy, nystagmus, photophobia, hearing loss, obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes and cardiomyopathy. The condition is progressive, but it is important to note that not all the complications associated with AS occur in everyone affected.

Background: College students who are in recovery from substance use disorders face challenges related to abstaining from substance use, finding supportive social networks, and achieving their academic goals. These students may therefore seek out various recovery supports at their institutions to meet their needs and goals.
Methods: This study analyzed previously collected data to explore themes related to students' experiences of recovery, including their recovery needs and challenges while also attending college.

Department of Physiotherapy, Melbourne School of Health Science, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia.
Background: Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) uses positive pressure to assist people with respiratory muscle weakness or severe respiratory compromise to breathe. Most people use this treatment during sleep when breathing is most susceptible to instability. The benefits of using NIV in motor neurone disease (MND) are well-established.
