Surveillance snapshot of Clostridium difficile infection in hospitals across Queensland detects binary toxin producing ribotype UK 244

In North America and Europe, the binary toxin positive Clostridium difficile strains of the ribotypes 027 and 078 have been associated with death, toxic megacolon and other adverse outcomes. Following an increase in C. difficile infections (CDIs) in Queensland, a prevalence study involving 175 hospitals was undertaken in early 2012, identifying 168 cases of CDI over a 2 month period. Patient demographics and clinical characteristics were recorded, and C. difficile isolates were ribotyped and tested for the presence of binary toxin genes. Most patients (106/168, 63.1%) were aged over 60 years. Overall, 98 (58.3%) developed symptoms after hospitalisation; 89 cases (53.0%) developed symptoms more than 48 hours after admission. Furthermore, 27 of the 62 (67.7%) patients who developed symptoms in the community ad been hospitalised within the last 3 months. Thirteen of the 168 (7.7%) cases identified had severe disease, resulting in admission to the Intensive Care Unit or death within 30 days of the onset of symptoms. The 3 most common ribotypes isolated were UK 002 (22.9%), UK 014 (13.3%) and the binary toxin-positive ribotype UK 244 (8.4%). The only other binary toxin positive ribotype isolated was UK 078 (n = 1). Of concern was the detection of the binary toxin positive ribotype UK 244, which has recently been described in other parts of Australia and New Zealand. No isolates were of the international epidemic clone of ribotype UK 027, although ribotype UK 244 is genetically related to this clone. Further studies are required to track the epidemiology of ribotype UK 244 in Australia and New Zealand. Commun Dis Intell 2014;38(4):E279–E284.

Diário da Constituinte [gravação de vídeo] : [programa n. 244]

A Comissão de Sistematização da Assembleia Nacional Constituinte (ANC) apreciou as emendas relativas aos direitos e liberdades fundamentais. Apenas quatro destaques foram aprovados. A primeira emenda aprovada prevê a participação popular no processo de elaboração das leis. O Deputado Antônio Mariz (PMDB-PB) comenta a questão da participação popular no processo de elaboração das leis. Foi aceita a participação do Brasil no Tribunal Internacional de Direitos Humanos da ONU. O Deputado Lysâneas Maciel (PDT-RJ) declara sobre a importância da participação do Brasil no Tribunal Internacional de Direitos Humanos da ONU. Incluído no texto constitucional o repúdio ao racismo. O Senador José Paulo Bisol (PMDB-RS) esclarece que aspectos econômicos não podem afetar aspectos de princípios e que a Assembleia Nacional Constituinte (ANC), desta forma, manifesta-se contra qualquer discriminação racial. Discutiu-se a questão do aborto em reunião da Comissão de Sistematização. O Deputado Amaral Neto (PDS-RJ) pretende sugerir ao Presidente da Assembleia Nacional Constituinte (ANC) uma sessão diária das 9 às 14 horas. O Deputado Alceni Guerra (PFL-PR) sugere eleger mais dois vice-presidentes da Mesa, para agilizar os trabalhos. O Deputado Gastoni Righi (PTB-SP) acha que é necessário uma composição com as lideranças partidárias para retirar a maior parte dos destaques, agilizando desta forma os trabalhos. O Deputado Prisco Viana (PMDB-BA) propõe alteração no Regimento Interno.

Nitrogen and phosphorus forms in water and the food requirements of algae. [Translation from: Wiadomosci Ekologiczne 19 238-244, 1973. ]

When dissolved in water, compounds of nitrogen and phosphorus ought to contain the basic assimilated food requirements for autotrophic plants and therefore autotrophic algae. This article summarises the occurrence of nitrogen in water, how species of algae utilize nitrogen and phosphorus forms for growth and the capacities of algae to adapt to environments of different nutrient wealth. This topic has unquestionable importance not only for the purpose of survival of a species but also in deciding indirectly about the stability of ecosystems.

Production of new superheavy Z=108-114 nuclei with U-238, Pu-244, and Cm-248,Cm-250 targets

Within the framework of the dinuclear system (DNS) model, production cross sections of new superheavy nuclei with charged numbers Z=108-114 are analyzed systematically. Possible combinations based on the actinide nuclides U-238, Pu-244, and Cm-248,Cm-250 with the optimal excitation energies and evaporation channels are pointed out to synthesize new isotopes that lie between the nuclides produced in the cold fusion reactions and the Ca-48-induced fusion reactions experimentally, which are feasible to be constructed experimentally. It is found that the production cross sections of superheavy nuclei decrease drastically with the charged numbers of compound nuclei. Larger mass asymmetries of the entrance channels enhance the cross sections in 2n-5n channels.
