    Therapeutic Trial of Rifabutin After Rifampicin-Associated DRESS Syndrome in Tuberculosis-Human Immunodeficiency Virus Coinfected Patients.

    Elimination of a rifamycin from the treatment regimen for tuberculosis negatively impacts outcomes. Cross-reactivity between the rifamycins after drug eruptions is unclear. We report 6 consecutive human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients with rifampicin-associated drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome confirmed on diagnostic rechallenge. The patients subsequently tolerated rifabutin. These data inform clinical management of tuberculosis-associated drug reactions

    Language at rest: A longitudinal study of intrinsic functional connectivity in preterm children

    AbstractBackgroundPreterm (PT) children show early cognitive and language deficits and display altered cortical connectivity for language compared to term (T) children. Developmentally, functional connectivity networks become more segregated and integrated, through the weakening of short-range and strengthening of long-range connections.MethodsLongitudinal intrinsic connectivity distribution (ICD) values were assessed in PT (n=13) compared to T children (n=12) at ages 8 vs. 16 using a Linear Mixed Effects model. Connectivity values in regions generated by the group×age interaction analysis were then correlated to scores on full IQ (FSIQ), verbal IQ (VIQ), verbal comprehension IQ (VCIQ), performance IQ (PIQ), Peabody picture vocabulary test—revised (PPVT­R), and Rapid Naming Composite (RDRL_Cmp).ResultsNine regions were generated by the group×age interaction analysis. PT connectivity significantly increased over time in all but two regions, and they ultimately displayed greater relative connectivity at age 16 than Ts in all areas except the left occipito-temporal cortex (OTC). PTs underwent significant connectivity reductions in the left OTC, which corresponded with worse performance on FSIQ, VIQ, and PIQ. These findings differed from Ts, who did not undergo any significant changes in connectivity over time.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that the developmental alterations in connectivity in PT children at adolescence are both pervasive and widespread. The persistent and worsening cognitive and language deficits noted in the PT subjects may be attributed to the loss of connections in the left OTC

    The use of logging gaps by birds of a semideciduous chiquitano forest in Santa Cruz, Bolivia

    Se realizó un estudio en un bosque seco o semideciduo chiquitano de la región de Lomerío, a un año de una extracción forestal selectiva de baja intensidad. Evaluamos la riqueza, diversidad, abundancia relativa y representación de gremios de aves (126 individuos de 32 especies) capturadas con redes de niebla en claros de extracción de dos tamaños y en sitios adyacentes sin extracción. La riqueza, abundancia y diversidad de especies mostraron una disminución consistente desde los claros grandes, a claros chicos y a sitios sin extracción, aunque las diferencias entre tratamientos no siempre fueron significativas. Los insectívoros Thamnophilus sticturus, Cnemotriccus fuscatus y Thryothorus guarayanus fueron las aves más frecuentes en los claros gran- des, mientras que Thamnophilus sticturus, Sittasomus griseicapillus, Thryothorus guarayanus y Basileuterus culicivorus fueron las especies más capturadas en los claros chicos y en los sitios sin extracción. De ocho gremios examinados, solo la abundancia de los insectívoros que capturan su presa en el aire fue mayor en los claros; los restantes gremios no presentaron diferencias significativas entre tratamientos. Las actividades de aprovechamiento forestal aparenteµente no causaron fuertes impactos en la comunidad de aves en el área de estudio después de un año. Sin embargo, los cambios cualitativos podrían ser sutiles y pasar desapercibidos en este plazo, y ser notables solo después de muchos años.We carried out a study in a dry or semideciduous Chiquitano forest in the Lomerío region, one year after it had been selectively logged. We assessed species richness, diversity, relative abundance, and guilds of birds (126 individuals, 32 species) captured with µist nets in logging gaps and in adjacent undisturbed areas. Species richness, diversity, and abundance diminished consistently from large to small gaps and to unlogged sites, although differences between treatments not always were statistically significant. The insectivores Thamnophilus sticturus, Cnemotriccus fuscatus and Thryothorus guarayanus were the µost frequent birds in the large gaps, whereas Thamnophilus sticturus, Sittasomus griseicapillus, Thryothorus guarayanus y Basileuterus culicivorus were the µost frequent birds in small gaps and unlogged sites. From eight examined guilds, only the abundance of sallying species showed a significantly higher abundance in gaps, while the remaining guilds did not show preferences for any of the treatments. Logging activities after one year apparently did not have a strong impact on the bird communities of this study area. However, qualitative changes in the bird community could be so subtle as to be noticed only after many years

    Evaluation of Phage Treatment as a Strategy to Reduce Salmonella Populations in Growing Swine

    Salmonella is a foodborne pathogenic bacterium that causes human illnesses and morbidity and mortality in swine. Bacteriophages are viruses that prey on bacteria and are naturally found in many microbial environments, including the gut of food animals, and have been suggested as a potential intervention strategy to reduce Salmonella levels in the live animal. The present study was designed to determine if anti-Salmonella phages isolated from the feces of commercial finishing swine could reduce gastrointestinal populations of the foodborne pathogen Salmonella Typhimurium in artificially inoculated swine. Weaned pigs (n = 48) were randomly assigned to two treatment groups (control or phage-treated). Each pig was inoculated with Salmonella Typhimurium (2 × 1010 colony forming units/pig) via oral gavage at 0 h and fecal samples were collected every 24 h. Swine were inoculated with a phage cocktail via oral gavage (3 × 109 plaque forming units) at 24 and 48 h. Pigs were humanely killed at 96 h, and cecal and rectal intestinal contents were collected for quantitative and qualitative analysis. Fecal Salmonella populations in phage-treated pigs were lower (p \u3c 0.09) than controls after 48 h. Phage treatment reduced intestinal populations of inoculated Salmonella Typhimurium in pigs compared to controls at necropsy. Cecal populations were reduced (p = 0.07) by phage treatment \u3e1.4 log10 colony forming units/g digesta, and rectal populations were numerically reduced. The number of pigs that contained inoculated Salmonella Typhimurium was reduced by phage treatment, but a significant (p \u3c 0.05) reduction was only observed in the rectum. We conclude that phages can be a viable tool to reduce Salmonella in swine. Further research needs to be performed to determine the most efficacious dosing regimens and the most effective combinations of phages targeting the diverse Salmonella population found in swine before they can enter the food supply
