Background. Clostridium difficile is the leading cause of hospital associated infectious diarrhea and colitis. About 3 million cases of Clostridium difficile diarrhea occur each year with an annual cost of $1 billion. ^ About 20% of patients acquire C. difficile during hospitalization. Infection with Clostridium difficile can result in serious complications, posing a threat to the patient's life. ^ Purpose. The aim of this research was to demonstrate the uniqueness in the characteristics of C. difficile positive nosocomial diarrhea cases compared with C. difficile negative nosocomial diarrhea controls admitted to a local hospital. ^ Methods. One hundred and ninety patients with a positive test and one hundred and ninety with a negative test for Clostridium difficile nosocomial diarrhea, selected from patients tested between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2003, comprised the study population. Demographic and clinical data were collected from medical records. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine the associated odds between selected variables and the outcome of Clostridium difficile nosocomial diarrhea. ^ Results. For the antibiotic classes, cephalosporins (OR, 1.87; CI 95, 1.23 to 2.85), penicillins (OR, 1.57; CI 95, 1.04 to 2.37), fluoroquinolones (OR, 1.65; CI 95, 1.09 to 2.48) and antifungals (OR, 2.17; CI 95, 1.20 to 3.94), were significantly associated with Clostridium difficile nosocomial diarrhea Ceftazidime (OR, 1.95; CI 95, 1.25 to 3.03, p=0.003), gatifloxacin (OR, 1.97; CI 95, 1.31 to 2.97, p=0.001), clindamycin (OR, 3.13; CI 95, 1.99 to 4.93, p<0.001) and vancomycin (OR, 1.77; CI 95, 1.18 to 2.66, p=0.006, were also significantly associated with the disease. Vancomycin was not statistically significant when analyzed in a multivariable model. Other significantly associated drugs were, antacids, laxatives, narcotics and ranitidine. Prolong use of antibiotics and an increased number of comorbid conditions were also associated with C. difficile nosocomial diarrhea. ^ Conclusion. The etiology for C. difficile diarrhea is multifactorial. Exposure to antibiotics and other drugs, prolonged antibiotic usage, the presence and severity of comorbid conditions and prolonged hospital stay were shown to contribute to the development of the disease. It is imperative that any attempt to prevent the disease, or contain its spread, be done on several fronts. ^

The dataset contains the revised age models and foraminiferal records obtained for the Last Interglacial period in six marine sediment cores: - the Southern Ocean core MD02-2488 (age model, sea surface temperatures, benthic d18O and d13C for the period 136-108 ka), - the North Atlantic core MD95-2042 (age model, planktic d18O, benthic d18O and d13C for the period 135-110 ka), - the North Atlantic core ODP 980 (age model, planktic d18O, sea surface temperatures, seawater d18O, benthic d18O and d13C, ice-rafted detritus for the period 135-110 ka), - the North Atlantic core CH69-K09 (age model, planktic d18O, sea surface temperatures, seawater d18O, benthic d18O and d13C, ice-rafted detritus for the period 135-110 ka), - the Norwegian Sea core MD95-2010 (age model, percentage of Neogloboquadrina pachyderma sinistral, sea surface temperatures, benthic d18O, ice-rafted detritus for the period 134-110 ka), - the Labrador Sea core EW9302-JPC2 (age model, percentage of Neogloboquadrina pachyderma sinistral, sea surface temperatures, benthic d18O for the period 134-110 ka).

In this study, I examine the agon scene in Euripides' Alcestis. The agon is placed in the 4th episode, when Alcestis' corpse has recieved all preparations for the funeral, and Admeto has already accomodated Heracles in the palace, without telling him, however, about the last occurrences. This episode is the biggest of the play with 360 verses, what could cause the prolongation of the action and consequently the decline of the emotional tonus. Nevertheless, Euripides has composed this episode with very diversified elements, that it could be divided in scenes, what confers certain agitily to the events succession that accelerates the end of the play. I took as basis the commentaries by A. M. Dale and by L P. E. Parker, and whenever necessary, I have also recurred to the James Diggle?s and D. J Conacher?s editions. Another important text for the present discussion of the agon in Alcestis is the book by Michael Lloyd, The Agon in Euripides
