    Abstract Objectives: To determine how pharmacists with formal antimicrobial stewardship program (ASP) responsibilities prioritize their time and pharmacists without formal antimicrobial stewardship program responsibilities contribute to ASP activities.
    Design: A nationwide survey.
    Respondents: Members of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy who subscribe to the following practice and research network e-mail listservs: infectious diseases, adult medicine, cardiology, critical care, hematology-oncology, immunology and transplantation, and pediatrics.
    Methods: A survey was distributed via listservs. Respondents were asked about their personal and institutional demographics and ASP activities.
    Results: In total, 245 pharmacists responded: 135 pharmacists with formal antimicrobial stewardship program responsibilities; 110 pharmacists without formal antimicrobial stewardship program responsibilities. Although most respondents had completed a general pharmacy residency (85%), only 20% had completed an infectious diseases (ID) specialty residency. Among pharmacists with formal antimicrobial stewardship program responsibilities, one-third had no formal training or certification in ID or ASP. Pharmacists without formal antimicrobial stewardship program responsibilities spent ∼12.5% of their time per week on ASP activities, whereas pharmacists with formal antimicrobial stewardship program responsibilities spent 28% of their time performing non-ASP activities. Pharmacists with formal antimicrobial stewardship program responsibilities were more likely than pharmacists without formal antimicrobial stewardship program responsibilities to perform antibiotic guideline development (
    Conclusions: Many ASP activities are being performed by pharmacists without formal ID training. To ensure the future success of ASPs, pharmacists with formal antimicrobial stewardship program responsibilities should have adequate training to meet more advanced metrics, and more pharmacists without formal antimicrobial stewardship program responsibilities should be included in basic interventions.

    Abstract Neoplasms of the intestinal tract are uncommon in rabbits and primary lymphoma of the intestinal tract is rare. This case series is the first detailed description of primary intestinal lymphoma in rabbits. We reviewed four cases of primary intestinal lymphoma in rabbits aged 5-9.5 years old with an average age of 7.8 years. Neoplastic cells in three cases were large (8 μm diameter) while one case had intermediate cells (5 μm diameter). Neoplastic lymphocytes were of B-cell lineage and characterized by intense, multifocal, membranous immunoreactivity for CD79a and no immunoreactivity to CD3. Based on the Revised European-American Classification of Lymphoid Neoplasms/World Health Organization classification, three of the cases were consistent with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and the case with intermediate-sized neoplastic cells was consistent with lymphoblastic lymphoma.

    Abstract Background: In the province of New Brunswick, care for patients infected with hepatitis C is provided in both community-based care settings and specialist-based care settings, but little is known about the differences between these populations. The aim of the current study is to characterize the demographic, socioeconomic, mental health and substance use factors of patients seen in these settings.
    Methods: Enrolling sites for this study included four specialist office-based clinics and one community-based clinic in three communities in New Brunswick. Personal health data was collected with informed consent via questionnaires and medical records. Non-incarcerated patients seen between April 2014 and April 2016 were included in the analysis.
    Results: A total of 374 patients were included (34.8% community versus 65.2% specialist office). Patients seen in the community care setting were younger (median age 43.7 versus 49.1 years), less likely to have a primary care provider (
    Conclusions: Unique differences exist between patients seen in community and specialist care settings in New Brunswick. Understanding these differences is an essential first step in developing patient-centred care models.

    Abstract Bats are increasingly studied as model systems for longevity and as natural hosts for some virulent viruses. Yet the ability to characterize immune mechanisms of viral tolerance and to quantify infection dynamics in wild bats is often limited by small sample volumes and few species-specific reagents. Here, we demonstrate how proteomics can overcome these limitations by using data-independent acquisition-based shotgun proteomics to survey the serum proteome of 17 vampire bats (

    Abstract Bats carry many zoonotic pathogens without showing pronounced pathology, with a few exceptions. The underlying immune tolerance mechanisms in bats remain poorly understood, although information-rich omics tools hold promise for identifying a wide range of immune markers and their relationship with infection. To evaluate the generality of immune responses to infection, we assessed the differences and similarities in serum proteomes of wild vampire bats (

    Abstract This paper summarises the views of four experts on the place of neurophysiological testing (EDX) in patients presenting with possible carpal tunnel syndrome, in guiding their treatment, and in reevaluations. This is not meant to be a position paper or a literature review, and heterogeneous viewpoints are presented. Nerve conduction studies should be performed in patients presenting with possible carpal tunnel syndrome to assist diagnosis, and may need to be repeated at intervals in those managed conservatively. There is evidence that local corticosteroid injection is safe and effective for many patients, thereby avoiding or deferring surgical decompression. All patients should undergo EDX studies before any invasive procedure for CTS (injection or surgery). Needle EMG studies are not obligatory, but may be needed in those with severe disease and those in whom an alternate or concomitant diagnosis is suspected.

Pharmacists with formal antimicrobial stewardship program responsibilities without formal ID training or certification spent less time on ASP activities and were more likely to perform lower-level interventions.

    Abstract Benefit of follow-up blood cultures (FUBC) in cancer patients with gram-negative bacteremia (GNB) is unknown. Multicenter, retrospective review was performed in adult cancer patients with GNB between January and December 2018. Primary outcome was FUBC incidence. Chi-square, t-tests/Wilcoxon rank-sum, and bivariate regression (logistic/Poisson) analyses compared secondary outcomes (catheter removal, ID consultation, antibiotic duration, length stay, mortality) between patients with versus without FUBC. Of 52 patients with GNB, majority (35/52; 67%) received ≥1 FUBC (mean per patient 3.6, SD 4.3, range 0-29). Majority FUBC had no growth (157/173; 90.8%). Rates of catheter removal and ID consultation were similar between groups (P > 0.05). Patients with FUBC had greater LOS (mean 21 vs 15 days; coefficient = 0.31, CI 0.17-0.45), longer duration of antibiotics (mean 13 vs 11 days, coefficient 0.19, P = 0.013), but no mortality difference (P = 1). FUBC are frequently performed yet infrequently positive in cancer patients with GNB, but were associated with increased LOS and antibiotic duration.
