940, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.124-11.292), anxiety (aOR 4.233, 95% CI 2.138-8.381), stress (aOR 2.880, 95% CI 1.915-4.330) and social support (aOR 0.959, 95% CI 0.939-0.980) have a significant effect on sleep quality after adjusted by sex, age, smoking status, drinking status, caffeine intake, past shift working and circadian rhythm type. Conclusions Depression, anxiety, stress and social support were associated with sleep quality among pre-employed firefighters. Repeated follow-up studies of pre-employed firefighters are needed to further assess their change of sleep quality and identify the FSJRF that may affect the sleep quality of firefighters.Strain Marseille-Q0835T is an aerobic, non-motile and non-spore-forming Gram-positive coccus isolated from the stools of a Burkinabe woman. In this report, we present its phenotypic description including MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry analysis and genome sequencing. Strain Marseille-Q0835T; 2.9768-Mb genome exhibited a 41.9 mol% G+C content and 2699 predicted genes.  https://www.selleckchem.com/  Considering phenotypic features and comparative genome studies, we propose the strain Marseille-Q0835T as the type strain of Enterococcus burkinafasonensis sp. nov., a new species within the family Enterococcaceae.Serratia fonticola is widely distributed in nature and a rare human pathogen. We report the first Case of biliary tract infection due to multidrug-resistant Serratia fonticola in a 78-year-old woman in Vietnam. Bile culture grew S. fonticola. Based on the antibiogram, S. fonticola is resistant to all antibiotic classes. The patient developed septic shock and died.From the early 18th century that "meningitis" outbreak was firstly recorded in Geneva, it is one of the alarming health problems worldwide. Different infectious risk factors may contribute to the progression of meningitis. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) and Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) are just some noticeable risk factors among many involved in the progression of this disease. In this study, 415 meningitis suspected patients were recruited with some symptoms, such as fever, headache, nausea or vomiting, seizure, rash, dizziness from four different hospitals of Iran and molecular examinations of samples were performed by using specific primers of HSV½ and VZV via real-time PCR. Out of 415 included patient 41 (9.8 %) were VZV and six (1.4 %) cases were HSV ½ positive. Fever was the most frequent symptom by 315 (76 %) of patients with median temperature of 38 °C in all included patients. The median WBS counts of CSF in VZV positive, HSV½ positive, and all included cases were 1567 × 106 /L, 1257 × 106 /L, and 766 × 106 /L (range 0-21200), respectively. In conclusion, as the rate of VZV infection was high among children patients and it was associated with the absence of vaccination program for chickenpox in Iran, we suggested that VZV is one of the plausible hallmarks in meningitis.Strain Marseille-P9525T is a Gram-positive, obligatory anaerobic and non-motile bacterium isolated from a human faecal micobiota. Its phenotypic pattern, including mass spectrometry peptide profile and genome sequence, support the proposal of a new species for which the name Enorma burkinafasonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain has been deposited in a public collection.Endobronchial tuberculosis (TB) is an uncommon manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We report a case of endobronchial TB polyps in a patient from India presenting with cough, loss of weight and night sweats. Computed tomography chest revealed enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes, endobronchial invasion, and nodular infiltrates in the right lower lobe. Flexible bronchoscopy revealed two endobronchial polyps at the carina and left main bronchus which were biopsied. Histopathology showed non-caseating granulomas. Both the biopsy and bronchial washings did not identify acid-fast bacilli on Ziehl-Neelsen stain and had negative TB complex DNA polymerase chain reaction. One month after bronchoscopy, M. tuberculosis was cultured from the bronchial washings. Following six months of TB treatment, there was full resolution of symptoms and significant radiological improvement. We highlight the diagnostic challenges in endobronchial TB which may impact on the timely institution of treatment.A mediastinal mass in patients with a history of asbestos exposure should raise the suspicion of malignant mesothelioma.Objectives Drug-induced interstitial lung disease occurs when exposure to a drug causes inflammation and, eventually, fibrosis of the lung interstitium. Drug-induced interstitial lung disease is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. The aim of this retrospective study was to obtain new information on the time-to-onset profiles of drug-induced interstitial lung disease by consideration of other associated clinical factors using the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database. Methods We identified and analyzed reports of drug-induced interstitial lung disease between 2004 and 2018 from the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database. The reporting odds ratio and 95% confidence interval was used to detect the signal for each drug-induced interstitial lung disease incidence. We evaluated the time-to-onset profile of drug-induced interstitial lung disease and used the applied association rule mining technique to uncover undetected relationships, such as possible risk factors. Results The reporting )), pegylated interferon-2α (140.0 (75.8-233.0)), sai-rei-to (35.0 (20.0-54.5)), and sho-saiko-to (33.0 (13.5-74.0)) days. Association rule mining suggested that the risk of drug-induced interstitial lung disease was increased by a combination of amiodarone or sho-saiko-to and aging. Conclusion Our results showed that patients who receive gefitinib or erlotinib should be closely monitored for the development of drug-induced interstitial lung disease within a short duration (4 weeks). In addition, elderly people who receive amiodarone or sho-saiko-to should be carefully monitored for the development of drug-induced interstitial lung disease.Background Current guidelines recommend cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) as the treatment of choice for binge eating disorder (BED). Although CBT is quite effective, a substantial number of patients do not reach abstinence from binge eating. To tackle this problem, various theoretical conceptualizations and treatment models have been proposed. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), focusing on emotion regulation, is one such model. Preliminary evidence comparing DBT adapted for BED (DBT-BED) to CBT is promising but the available data do not favor one treatment over the other. The aim of this study is to evaluate outcome of DBT-BED, compared to a more intensive eating disorders-focused form of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT+), in individuals with BED who are overweight and engage in emotional eating. Methods Seventy-four obese patients with BED who reported above average levels of emotional eating were quasi-randomly allocated to one of two manualized 20-session group treatments DBT-BED (n = 41) or CBT+ (n = 33).
