Death threats by patients have significant psychological and professional impacts on psychiatrists. Early liaison with employers and police and transferring the care of the patient to another clinician may be useful measures.

The Baerman-Wetzel technique is the most usual method for the diagnosis of bronchopulmonary nematodes and is based on the active migration and movement of their first-stage larvae. Pulmonary tissue samples are frequently used for the post-mortem diagnosis of these parasites, but this kind of sample is not always available and easy to obtain. Faecal samples represent a more accessible choice for parasite monitoring. This work aimed to evaluate the agreement between the results obtained by the Baermann-Wetzel technique when samples of lung parenchyma or faeces from wild ruminants are used. A good level of agreement as well as a similar sensitivity between the two types of sample were observed, validating the use of faecal samples as a less invasive and cost-effective alternative for the monitoring of lungworm in wild ruminant populations.
Agitated behaviors are frequently encountered in the prehospital setting and require emergent treatment to prevent harm to patients and prehospital personnel. Chemical sedation with ketamine works faster than traditional pharmacologic agents, though it has a higher incidence of adverse events, including intubation. Outcomes following varying initial doses of prehospital intramuscular (IM) ketamine use have been incompletely described.
To determine whether using a lower dose IM ketamine protocol for agitation is associated with more favorable outcomes.
This study was a pre-/post-intervention retrospective chart review of prehospital care reports (PCRs). Adult patients who received chemical sedation in the form of IM ketamine for agitated behaviors were included. Patients were divided into two cohorts based on the standard IM ketamine dose of 4mg/kg and the lower IM dose of 3mg/kg with the option for an additional 1mg/kg if required. Primary outcomes included intubation and hospital admission. Secondary oh-risk patients.The possibility of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission by fomites or environmental surfaces has been suggested. It is unclear if SARS-CoV-2 can be detected in outdoor public areas. The objective of the current study was to assess the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in environmental samples collected at public playgrounds and water fountains, in a country with high disease prevalence. Environmental samples were collected from six cities in central Israel. Samples were collected from drinking fountains and high-touch recreational equipment at playgrounds. Sterile pre-moistened swabs were used to collect the samples, put in viral transfer media and transferred to the laboratory. Viral detection was achieved by real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, targeting four genes. Forty-three samples were collected from playground equipment and 25 samples from water fountains. Two of the 43 (4.6%) samples from playground equipment and one (4%) sample from a drinking fountain tested positive. It is unclear whether the recovery of viral RNA on outdoor surfaces also indicates the possibility of acquiring the virus. Adherence to environmental and personal hygiene in urban settings seems prudent.Malnutrition is common among older adults in health-care settings and is associated with decreased quality of life (QoL). The present study aimed to investigate the effect on health-related QoL (HRQoL) among older adults after 6 months of treatment with individual dietary advice (DA) and/or oral nutritional supplements (ONS), utilising 409 patients included in a multicentre randomised controlled trial of patients ≥ 65 years old, stratified according to nutrition status (malnourished/at risk of malnutrition), admitted to hospital in Sweden 2010-2014. Patients were randomised into four arms DA, ONS, DA + ONS or routine care (control). The intervention started at discharge from hospital, with HRQoL measured using European QoL five-dimension, three-level (EQ-5D-3L) and European QoL-visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS) at baseline and at 6-month, 1-year and 3-year follow-ups. Data were analysed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and multiple linear regression. Overall, HRQoL increased from baseline to follow-ups, although the magnitude of change in EQ-5D-3L did not differ significantly between the four arms in any of the nutrition groups. However, a significant difference was observed for change in EQ-VAS from baseline to 6-month follow-up in the malnourished group, with mean changes of 22·4 and -3·4 points for the ONS and control groups, respectively (P = 0·009). In the multiple linear regression analyses, participants in the ONS arm had 27·5, 34·4 and 38·8 points larger increases in EQ-VAS from baseline to the 6-month (P = 0·011), 1-year (P = 0·007) and 3-year (P = 0·032), respectively, follow-ups than the control group. The use of ONS improved subjectively assessed HRQoL in these malnourished older adults.The large-sized tapeworm Dibothriocephalus latus is known as the broad or fish-borne cestode of mammals that is capable to infect humans and cause diphyllobothriosis. Recently, molecular data on D. latus has been accumulating in the literature and a complete genome sequence has been published; however, little is known about the karyotype and chromosome architecture. In this study, an in-depth karyological analysis of 2 D. G150 latus specimens was carried out. The plerocercoids originated from a perch caught in subalpine Lake Iseo (Italy) and the tapeworms were reared in hamsters. Both specimens contained cells with a highly variable number of chromosomes ranging from18 to 27. Nevertheless, the largest portion of mitotic figures (47%) showed a number corresponding to the triploid set, 3n = 27. Accordingly, the karyotype of the analyzed specimens consisted of 9 triplets of metacentric chromosomes. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with the 18S rDNA probe clearly demonstrated the presence of 3 clusters of hybridization signals on the triplet of chromosome 7, thus confirming the triploid status of the specimens.
