Attaching and effacing Escherichia coli (AEEC) strains are a genomically diverse group of diarrheagenic E. coli strains that are characterized by the presence of the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) genomic island, which encodes a type III secretion system that is essential to virulence. AEEC strains can be further classified as either enterohemorrhagic E.

Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, University of Maryland Baltimore School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA Shock, Trauma and Anesthesiology Research (STAR)-Organized Research Center, University of Maryland Baltimore, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.

Background: Links between mental illness, self-inflicted injury and interpersonal violence are well recognised, but the association between poor mental health and unintentional injuries is not well understood.

Methods: We used the 2010 National Health Interview Survey to assess the association between psychological distress and unintentional non-occupational injuries among US adults. Psychological distress was measured by the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale, a symptom scale shown to identify community-dwelling persons with mental illness.

As the nontherapeutic use of prescription medications escalates, serious associated consequences have also increased. This makes it essential to estimate misuse, abuse, and related events (MAREs) in the development and postmarketing adverse event surveillance and monitoring of prescription drugs accurately. However, classifications and definitions to describe prescription drug MAREs differ depending on the purpose of the classification system, may apply to single events or ongoing patterns of inappropriate use, and are not standardized or systematically employed, thereby complicating the ability to assess MARE occurrence adequately.
