    Abstract: Objectives: Trends in the incidence of O157 and non-O157 serogroups of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections have markedly diverged. Here, we estimate the extent to which STEC serogroups share the same transmission routes and risk ... ...

    Abstract Objectives: Trends in the incidence of O157 and non-O157 serogroups of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections have markedly diverged. Here, we estimate the extent to which STEC serogroups share the same transmission routes and risk factors, potentially explaining these trends.
    Methods: With 3048 STEC cases reported in Minnesota from 2010 to 2019, we used lasso penalized regression to estimate pooled odds ratios (pOR) for the association between STEC risk factors and specific STEC serogroups and Shiga toxin gene profiles. We used random forests as a confirmatory analysis.
    Results: Across an extended period of time, we found evidence for person-to-person transmission associated with the O26 serogroup, relative to other serogroups (pOR = 1.32 for contact with an individual with diarrhea). Rurality was less associated with non-O157 serogroups than O157 (pOR = 1.21 for each increasing level of rurality). We also found an association between unpasteurized juice and strains carrying only stx1 (pOR = 1.41).
    Conclusions: Collectively, these results show differences in risk factors across STEC types, which suggest differences in the most effective routes of transmission. Serogroup-specific disease control strategies should be explored. Specifically, preventative measures for non-O157 STEC need to extend beyond those we have employed for O157 STEC.

    Abstract Objectives: To describe the incidence of and patterns of 'escalated care' (care in addition to standard treatment with systemic corticosteroids and inhaled bronchodilators) for children receiving prehospital treatment for asthma.
    Design: Retrospective observational study.
    Setting: State-wide ambulance service data (Ambulance Victoria in Victoria, Australia, population 6.5 million) PARTICIPANTS: Children aged 1-17 years and given a final diagnosis of asthma by the treating paramedics and/or treated with inhaled bronchodilators from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020.
    Primary and secondary outcome measures: We classified 'escalation of care' as parenteral administration of epinephrine, or provision of respiratory support. We compared clinical, demographic and treatments administered between those receiving and not receiving escalation of care.
    Results: Paramedics attended 1572 children with acute exacerbations of asthma during the 1 year study period. Of these, 22 (1.4%) had escalated care, all receiving parenteral epinephrine. Patients with escalated care were more likely to be older, had previously required hospital admission for asthma and had severe respiratory distress at initial assessment.Of 1307 children with respiratory status data available, at arrival to hospital, the respiratory status of children had improved overall (normal/mild respiratory distress at initial assessment 847 (64.8%), normal/mild respiratory distress at hospital arrival 1142 (87.4%), p<0.0001).
    Conclusions: Most children with acute exacerbations of asthma did not receive escalated therapy during their pre-hospital treatment from ambulance paramedics. Most patients were treated with inhaled bronchodilators only and clinically improved by the time they arrived in hospital.

    Abstract AbstractA colony of the rare hydrozoan siphonophore Lilyopsis Chun, 1885, was observed for the first time in shallow water in False Bay, South Africa, swimming amongst kelp. A study of a high-quality image of this individual found it to share some characters with the prayine prayid L. fluoracantha Haddock, Dunn & Pugh, 2005, so far known only from Monterey Bay, California, in the eastern Pacific. No Lilyopsis species has previously been reliably identified from either the South Atlantic or the Indian Ocean, so this record represents an expansion of the known worldwide distribution for this genus.

    Abstract Palatal fistulae are a recognised complication in individuals who have undergone surgical repair of a cleft palate, however, congenital or idiopathic palatal fistulae are rare. This report discusses the presentation and treatment of a 16-year-old female with a submucous cleft palate, who presented with a recent onset change in speech and evidence of a new palatal fistula. There was no history of recent infection or known trauma, and the patient had not undergone any previous palatal surgery. This report discusses the clinical presentation, recommended management and relevant literature for this rare phenomenon.

    Abstract Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), including abuse or neglect, parental substance abuse, mental illness, or separation, are public health crises that require identification and response. We aimed to increase annual rates of trauma screening during well-child visits from 0% to 70%, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom screening for children with identified trauma from 0% to 30%, and connection to behavioral health for children with symptoms from 0% to 60%.
    Methods: Our interdisciplinary behavioral and medical health team implemented 3 plan-do-study-act cycles to improve screening and response to pediatric traumatic experiences. Automated reports and chart reviews measured progress toward goals as we changed screening methods and provider training.
    Results: During plan-do-study-act cycle 1, a chart review of patients with positive trauma screenings identified various trauma types. During cycle 2, a comparison of screening methods demonstrated that written screening identified trauma among more children than verbal screening (8.3% versus 1.7%). During cycle 3, practices completed trauma screenings at 25,287 (89.8%) well-child visits. Among screenings, 2,441 (9.7%) identified trauma. The abbreviated Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Reaction Index was conducted at 907 (37.2%) encounters and identified 520 children (57.3%) with PTSD symptoms. Among a sample of 250, 26.4% were referred to behavioral health, 43.2% were already connected, and 30.4% had no connection.
    Conclusions: It is feasible to screen and respond to trauma during well-child visits. Screening method and training implementation changes can improve screening and response to pediatric trauma and PTSD. Further work is needed to increase rates of PTSD symptomology screening and connection to behavioral health.

    Abstract A parenting style with high amounts of control combined with low caring or nurturing behaviour has been reported in association with mental disorders including schizophrenia. However, the association of parenting style with illness severity in individuals with schizophrenia has never been evaluated retrospectively or over a longitudinal time course. In a subset (n = 84) of the participants included in the AESOP (Aetiology and Ethnicity in Schizophrenia and Other Psychoses)-10 study, we evaluated participants' perceptions of their own parents' bonding style at the time of their first episode of psychosis using the parental bonding instrument (PBI). We then examined the association between different bonding styles, illness course and severity, and global functioning over a 10-year follow-up. Participants who perceived that their fathers had a more caring and less controlling parenting style showed better functioning at follow-up. However, in contrast to previous research, participants who reported having been subject to uncaring and controlling parenting styles were not found to have a notably worse course of illness or symptom severity over the follow-up period. These results indicate that more optimal parental bonding styles may be associated with better overall functioning in individuals with psychosis but not with other measures of illness outcome.

    Abstract Objectives: There is scant qualitative research into the experiences of tuberculosis (TB) treatment in urban risk groups with complex health and social needs in the UK. This study aimed to describe the social context of adherence to treatment in marginalized groups attending a major TB centre in London.
    Methods: A qualitative cross-sectional study was performed using semi-structured interviews with patients receiving treatment for TB. Analytical frameworks aimed to reflect the role of broader social structures in shaping individual health actions.
    Results: There were 17 participants; the majority were homeless and had complex medical and social needs, including drug and alcohol use or immigration problems affecting entitlement to social welfare. Participants rarely actively chose not to take their medication, but described a number of social and institutional barriers to adherence and their need for practical support. Many struggled with the physical aspects of taking medication and the side effects. Participants receiving directly observed therapy (DOT) reported both positive and negative experiences, reflecting the type of DOT provider and culture of the organization.
    Conclusions: There is a need for integrated care across drug, alcohol, HIV, and homeless services in order to address the complex clinical co-morbidities and social needs that impact on the patient's ability to sustain a course of treatment.
