species are common causes of diarrheal illness following consumption of contaminated food or unpasteurized dairy products, but subsequent dissemination and joint space infections are rare. We describe a patient who consumed undercooked chicken wings, with subsequent development of a febrile gastrointestinal illness marked by copious, watery stool output. This was followed by acute onset of pain and inability to bear weight on his right hip and leg where he had undergone prior arthroplasty. Synovial fluid cultures revealed , identified utilizing matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The patient made a full recovery following hip joint space debridement with prosthesis retention, coupled with sequential intravenous and oral ciprofloxacin therapy. This case highlights both the potential for prosthetic joint infection with following diarrheal illness, as well as challenges in reducing contamination within commercially distributed chicken wings.

Early life adverse environmental, nutrition and infection factors are associated with lower developmental scores in Pakistani children at 5 years: a cohort study.
BMJ Nutr Prev Health

Background: The effects of multiple early adverse psychosocial and biological factors on child development at preschool age in deprived settings are not fully understood.
Methods: The 'Etiology, Risk Factors and Interactions of Enteric Infections and Malnutrition and the Consequences for Child Health and Development' (MAL-ED) project followed children from eight countries, recording sociodemographic, nutritional, illness, enteroinfection biomarkers and scores for quality of home environment (Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment (HOME)), development (Bayley) and maternal depression during the first year of life. In the Pakistan cohort, we investigated associations of these early factors with Z-scores (derived from the eight participating countries) of three developmental outcomes at 5 years: Executive Functions (Z-EF), the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale for Intelligence (Z-WPPSI) and the externalising behaviours component of the Strength and Difficulties test (Z-externalising behaviours).
Epidemiology and impact of travellers' diarrhoea differs during UK military training exercises in Kenya and Oman.

Background: Gastrointestinal illnesses are common during military training and operational deployments. We compared the incidence and burden of travellers' diarrhoea (TD) reported by British service personnel (SP) during recent training exercises in Kenya and Oman.
Methods: SP completed a validated anonymous questionnaire regarding clinical features of any diarrhoeal illness, associated risk factors and impact on work capability after 6-week training exercises in 2018 in Kenya and 2018-2019 in Oman.
Unveiling the future: Wavelet- ARIMAX analysis of climate and diarrhea dynamics in Bangladesh's Urban centers.

Background: Diarrheal infections continue to be a major public health concern in Bangladesh, especially in urban areas where population density and environmental variables increase dissemination risks. Identifying the intricate connections between weather variables and diarrhea epidemics is critical for developing effective public health remedies.
Methods: We deploy the novel approach of Wavelet-Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average with Exogenous Variable (WARIMAX) and the traditional Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average with Exogenous Variable (ARIMAX) technique to forecast the incidence of diarrhea by analyzing the influence of climate factors.
Background Diarrhea is defined as three or more loose or watery bowel movements per day and any additional bowel motions that mothers deem abnormal or extra frequent in children. It is important to note that among children in underdeveloped countries, diarrhea is one of the main causes of illness and death. Severe diarrhea causes significant fluid loss and can be fatal.

Acute diarrheal disease is one of the leading causes of death in children under age 5, disproportionately impacting children in low-resource settings. Many of these cases are caused by bacteria and therefore could respond to antibiotic treatment; however, the benefits of widely prescribing antibiotics must be weighed against the risks for the emergence of microbial resistance. These challenges present the opportunity for developing individualized treatment guidelines for diarrheal disease.
