    Abstract Diagnostic laboratories in Aotearoa, New Zealand (NZ) refer cultures from faecal samples positive for Shiga toxin genes to the national Enteric Reference Laboratory for isolation of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) for epidemiological typing. As there was variation in the culture media being referred, a panel of 75 clinical isolates of STEC, representing 28 different serotypes, was used to assess six commercially available media and provide guidance to clinical laboratories. Recommendations were subsequently tested for a 3-month period, where STEC isolations and confirmations were assessed by whole genome sequencing analysis against the culture media referred. CHROMagar™ STEC (CH-STEC; CHROMagar Microbiology, Paris, France) or CH-STEC plus cefixime-tellurite sorbitol MacConkey agar was confirmed inferior to CH-STEC plus blood agar with vancomycin, cefsulodin, and cefixime (BVCC). The former resulted in fewer STEC types (n = 18) being confirmed compared to those from a combination of CH-STEC and BVCC (n = 42). A significant (P < .05) association with an STEC's ability to grow on CH-STEC and the presence of the ter gene cluster, and eae was observed. Culturing screen positive STEC samples onto both CH-STEC and BVCC ensures a consistently higher recovery of STEC from all clinical samples in NZ than CH-STEC alone.

    Abstract A 51-year-old male with a complicated medical history presented with shortness of breath. Preoperative workup confirmed the presence of a large atrial mass. However, delayed gadolinium enhancement CMR with long inversion time (TI 600) showed lack of enhancement, which was suggestive of a thrombus. During cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, delayed gadolinium enhancement sequences with long inversion time (TI 600) are commonly used to distinguish between an avascular thrombus versus a vascular tumor.

    Abstract The American healthcare system faces a potential reorganization of the way in which services are provided and financed. We argue that healthcare administrators need to be increasingly aware of the ways in which our nation's illicit drug policy, commonly referred to as the 'War on Drugs', affects the provision of health services. A large and growing portion of the US population uses one or more of the currently illegal drugs and some of these persons suffer from an addiction or other substance use disorder. This is clearly demonstrated by the current opioid epidemic which is not yet being adequately controlled. Providing specialty treatment for drug abuse disorders will be increasingly important for healthcare administrators thanks to recent mental health parity legislation. At the same time, drug users and abusers will be increasingly encountered while providing care not specifically tied to drug use or abuse. The character of our current national drug policy has an important impact on how drug abuse disorders are treated and how the health delivery system responds to drug users who are increasingly often encountered in primary care, emergency care, specialty care, and long-term care settings.

    Abstract A 77-year-old man with history of sacral chordoma and pulmonary embolism presented to the emergency room with a 1-day history of diffuse left flank and lower extremity swelling. The patient was found to have thrombus in the left common and external iliac veins. The patient was brought to Interventional Radiology for mechanical thrombectomy using the Inari ClotTriever and a sample of extracted thrombus was sent to pathology. Analysis on the sample was positive for sacral chordoma, consistent with tumor thrombus. The patient returned after 6 weeks with similar symptoms and repeat mechanical thrombectomy was performed with the Inari ClotTriever and stent placement through the left common and external iliac vein with an Ovation iX stent graft. The patient remained asymptomatic following the second procedure at repeat follow-up at 6 weeks.

    Abstract Childhood narratives are essential to identifying critical issues in their development and developing strategies to reduce risk and build resilience. Ambiguous loss, a psychological risk factor, has emerged as a critical issue among families with uncertain immigration statuses including the recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA). This population encounters barriers to accessing mental health resources and educational services, which compel them to use coping strategies to rebound from adversity. Interviews were conducted with 13 students, most being DACA recipients, of Hispanic and Latinx identities attending higher education institutions in North Carolina. The article focuses on the participants' experience as children prior to the U.S. government decision to rescind their deferred status. Identified risk factors include structural barriers to educational success, health and well-being, and criminalization of undocumented immigrants, confounded with childhood trauma of migration and other mental health consequences. The study found that participants experienced emotional trauma since their arrival in the U.S., starting in childhood, and in some cases, manifesting maladaptive behaviours adversely affecting their health and well-being through their lifespan. The authors recommend comprehensive assistance interventions and more appropriate institutional and community immigrant support systems for these students and their families.

    Abstract Herein, we report a patient who underwent percutaneous cryoablation for suspected renal cell carcinoma and developed a subcapsular hematoma with numerous pseudoaneurysms and dramatic structural deformity. Despite the severity suggested by the radiologic presentation, a conservative management approach was selected due to the patient's favorable hemodynamic status. This resulted in a positive outcome as alternative treatment options would have resulted in loss of the organ.
