The present study was undertaken to determine the genetic diversity of viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) and to gain insight into the molecular epidemiology of this fish rhabdovirus. The sequences of the nonstructural (NV) protein and the transmembrane (G) protein of sequential North American and European isolates of VHSV were determined and used to compute phylogenetic trees. According to the percentage of nucleotide or amino acid similarities, North American and European isolates formed 2 clearly distant genetic groups. While North American isolates clustered into a highly homogeneous genetic group, European isolates exhibited a higher genetic variability. Subgrouping based on this variability could be correlated with both the geographic origin and the serological classification.

Individuals embody various social identities that can impact how they interface with the social environment. Stigma theories suggest that members of low-status or marginalized groups possess devalued social identities, and therefore, experience more stress. While social identities can lead to increased stress, individuals' appraisals of their identities are not necessarily perceived as harmful/demanding.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a significant preventable cause of postoperative morbidity and mortality after major abdominopelvic surgery that calls for extended VTE prophylaxis (eVTEp). Literature suggests that significant racial disparities may exist in post-operative care.
Objective: The study sought to examine if racial disparities exist in the administration of eVTEp after hysterectomy in a statewide collaborative.

This objective of this communication is to provide an update from the Council of Teaching Hospitals (COTH) and the American Association of Colleges of Podiatric Medicine (AACPM) with respect to the profession's residency interview process, otherwise known as the Centralized Residency Interview Process (CRIP). During the 2022-2023 academic year, CRIP returned to an in-person format following a period of virtual interviews during the COVID-19 pandemic. Survey data since this change indicate that a large majority of residency program directors and student applicants prefer an in-person format to the residency interview process.

Although many parents worry that their child will be the target of racial profiling, there is a dearth of literature on how parental worries about children facing racism are linked to racial socialization (RS) practices and youth internalizing symptoms. Additionally, it is unclear how RS content relative to competency may uniquely influence whether and how parental worries influence youth internalizing outcomes. Using data from 203 Black parents (M = 44.

Background: The perception of respect for users' rights is fundamental for organizational well-being in mental health services. This cross-sectional observational study examined the job satisfaction and perception of user rights among nursing staff compared to other health professionals across seven countries in the Mediterranean and Latin American regions. This research measures this perception among nursing staff in different countries, with a particular focus on regional differences and professional roles.
