Linköping University Medical Dissertations No. 1381 Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Aspects on how to affect mortality from rupture
Cover picture: A ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (rAAA) in a 79-‐‑year old man visualized on CT-‐‑scan. One afternoon, he experienced sudden onset of shock and on arrival at the emergency department he was judged to have sepsis, despite no fever. On physical examination, he did not have any obvious abdominal pain. A CT-‐‑scan was performed to exclude any “surgical disease ” – this however showed a 10 cm in diameter rAAA. By this time he had been in deep shock for more than four hours. He acutely underwent an uneventful open operation, but died less than three days later due to multiorgan failure. Unfortunately this case illustrates a not too uncommon scenario and the poor prognosis of rAAA – especially if the correct diagnosis is delayed
Succession of bacterial biofilm communities following removal of chloramine from a full-scale drinking water distribution system
Abstract Monochloramine is used to regulate microbial regrowth in drinking water distribution systems (DWDS) but produces carcinogenic disinfection byproducts and constitutes a source of energy for nitrifying bacteria. This study followed biofilm-dispersed microbial communities of a full-scale DWDS distributing ultrafiltered water over three years, before and after removal of monochloramine. Communities were described using flow cytometry and amplicon sequencing, including full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Removal of monochloramine increased total cell counts by up to 440%. Increased abundance of heterotrophic bacteria was followed by emergence of the predatory bacteria Bdellovibrio, and a community potentially metabolizing small organic compounds replaced the nitrifying core community. No increased abundance of Mycobacterium or Legionella was observed. Co-occurrence analysis identified a network of Nitrosomonas, Nitrospira, Sphingomonas and Hyphomicrobium, suggesting that monochloramine supported this biofilm community. While some species expanded into the changed niche, no immediate biological risk to consumers was indicated within the DWDS
