Lack of continuity between Cronobacter biotypes and species as determined using multilocus sequence typing

The accuracy of the Cronobacter biotyping scheme was compared with the 7-loci multilocus sequence typing scheme. Biotyping did not reliably assign species level identification, as only half (17/31) of the biotype variants were unique to any of the seven Cronobacter species and the remaining biotypes were shared across the genus

Determinar las variaciones de la configuración interna y número radicular del primer premolar superior mediante tomografía computarizada Cone-Beam en pacientes del Centro Odontológico de la Universidad de San Martín de Porres.Se recolectó 586 tomografías computarizadas Cone-Beam, en las que se evaluó 1172 primeras premolares superiores derechas e izquierdas. Estas imágenes fueron evaluadas en los planos axial, sagital y coronal. Se realizó también la evaluación en posición vertical y paralelo a los planos sagital y coronal; se determinó el número de raíces, conductos, clasificación de conductos según Vertucci.TEXTO NO AUTORIZADO POR EL AUTO

Common Practice for Behavioral Health Screening in Pediatric Primary Care Settings

Mental health disorders in the United States are highly prevalent, affecting 14-20% of children yearly. Only 25-35% receive treatment after on average a six-plus year delay from symptom onset. Current recommendations suggest primary care physicians/providers (PCP) manage mental health conditions, however, PCPs are wary, citing lack of time, training and resources.This study evaluated pediatric/adolescent PCPs using a self-report questionnaire assessing knowledge/skill, clinical practice (e.g. screening tool) and perceived barriers when managing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety and depression (N = 11). Self-reported knowledge/skill diagnosing, treating and referring each disorder were recorded on a 5-point Likert scale and evaluated using repeated-measures ANOVA with post-hoc Bonferroni tests. Percentages of providers screening for each disorder were calculated (91% for depression, 55% for ADHD and 9% for anxiety). Results showed significant differences in self-reported skill diagnosing the conditions assessed, and in self-reported skill treating the conditions assessed, F (2, 20) = 13.671, p F (2, 20) = 14.933, p p = 0.01), and the significant differences in skill treating were between ADHD (M=3.45, SD=0.688) and anxiety (M=2.36, SD=0.5, p \u3c 0.001), and between ADHD and depression (M=2.73, SD=0.9, p = 0.036). Providers were unlikely to screen for anxiety indicating an area where PCPs could improve their management of mental health disorders. Further study may reveal differences in clinical practice and perceived barriers to increased PCP screening and management
