The association between meeting partners on the web and sexual practices has been understudied in heterosexuals.

This study aims to examine the associations between the methods of meeting partners and sexual practices and HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in heterosexuals.

We conducted a survey among heterosexuals attending the Melbourne Sexual Health Centre in 2019. This survey asked about the methods through which the participants engaged in meeting their sexual partners, sexual practices, and intravenous drug use (IVDU) over the past 3 months. The participants' HIV and STI (chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis) status was obtained from clinical testing. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the association between each method of meeting and the participants' sexual practices, IVDU, and STI status.

A total of 698 participants (325 men and 373 women) were included in the study. Most of the participants reported using only one method to meet partners (222/325, 68.3% men; 245or STIs, indicating that heterosexuals may benefit from health promotion campaigns that are delivered through a public setting.
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is recognized as a global health problem. Women with low education and limited resources are more vulnerable, as are immigrant women. There is a lack of evidence on how health care professionals should communicate about and intervene against IPV during pregnancy. Earlier research has shown that when women manage digital questionnaires, they are more likely to disclose IPV. However, little is known about how women experience eHealth interventions with safety behaviors to prevent IPV.

The aim of this study was to explore pregnant women's attitudes toward and experiences with a tablet intervention to promote safety behaviors in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in antenatal care.

Individual semistructured interviews were conducted with 10 women who participated in the Safe Pregnancy Study. The Safe Pregnancy Study was a randomized controlled trial (RCT) using a tablet intervention containing IPV questions and a film to promote safety behaviors. Six women from the interventg their answers in the questionnaire. We found no real differences between ethnic Norwegian and immigrant women's attitudes toward and experiences with the tablet intervention.

Questions about IPV and a film about safety behaviors on a tablet, as a supplement to face-to-face communication, might initiate and facilitate communication about IPV in antenatal care. Uncertainty regarding anonymity has to be addressed when questions about IPV are being asked on a tablet.

ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03397277; https//clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03397277.Biting midges of the genus Culicoides are vectors of important pathogens affecting domestic and wild animals and have played a major role in the re-emergence of new outbreaks of bluetongue (BTV) and Schmallenberg (SBV) viruses in Europe. To determine vector-host specificity, trophic preference from blood meal analysis is of major importance in the surveillance of arthropod-borne diseases. Of 28,752 specimens collected, we identified 17 Culicoides species and investigated a total of 48 host sequences from the blood meals. Culicoides obsoletus/C. scoticus, C. dewulfi, C. pulicaris, C. lupicaris, C. punctatus, C. newsteadi, C. riethi, and C. furcillatus were found to feed on mammals (cattle, horses, and humans), birds (domestic chickens), small rodents (Apodemus flavicollis), and hares (Lepus europaeus). To our knowledge, this is the first study investigating trophic preferences of Culicoides spp. in Slovakia. This study demonstrated that Culicoides species are able to feed on domesticated host vertebrates as well as birds, rodents, and humans.Enterocytozoon bieneusi is an obligate intracellular parasitic fungi that infects a wide range of mammalian hosts. However, the literature is lacking information regarding the presence and diversity of E. bieneusi genotypes in domesticated dogs in Northwestern China. Fecal samples from 604 pet dogs were obtained in 5 cities (Urumqi, Korla, Hotan, Aksu, and Shihezi) in Xinjiang. Screening for E. bieneusi was performed, and isolates were genotyped via nested-PCR amplification of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of nuclear ribosomal DNA. The infection rate of E. bieneusi was 6.3% (38/604). The prevalence of E. bieneusi infections in adult animals (>1 year, 10.3%, 15/145) was higher than that in younger (≤1 year) dogs (5.0%, 23/459), which was statistically significant (p = 0.021). No significant difference was observed between the different collection sites or between sexes. Eight distinct genotypes were identified, including 5 known genotypes (PtEb IX, EbpC, D, CD9, and Type IV) and 3 novel genotypes (CD11, CD12, CD13). The most prevalent was genotype PtEb IX, being observed in 50.0% (19/38) of the samples, followed by EbpC (31.6%, 12/38), D (5.3%, 2/38), and the remaining genotypes (CD9, Type IV, CD11, CD12, and CD13) were observed in 1 sample (2.6%, 1/38) each. These findings suggest that genotypes PtEb IX and CD9 are canine host-adapted, and likely pose little risk of zoonotic transmission. Moreover, known zoonotic genotypes EbpC, D, and Type IV represent a public health concern and should undergo further molecular epidemiological investigation.
This post-hoc analysis characterized the weekly incidence and overall duration of common early-onset treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) during solriamfetol treatment.

Participants (obstructive sleep apnea [OSA], N=474; narcolepsy, N=236) were randomized to 12 weeks of placebo or solriamfetol 37.5 (OSA only), 75, 150, or 300 mg. For common early-onset TEAEs (those occurring in ≥5% of participants in any solriamfetol dose group and with a higher incidence than that observed in placebo-treated participants during week 1), the incidence of new occurrence or change in severity over time was calculated for each subsequent study week. Data were analyzed separately for each study and summarized by placebo and combined solriamfetol groups.

Common early-onset TEAEs (at doses ≤150 mg, ie, approved doses) included headache (OSA, 5.1%; narcolepsy, 8.5%), nausea (OSA, 2.5%; narcolepsy, 4.2%), decreased appetite (OSA, 4.2%; narcolepsy, 5.9%), as well as anxiety (2.1%), insomnia (1.3%), and feeling jittery (3.0%) in OSA and dry mouth (4.2%) in narcolepsy. Incidence of common early-onset TEAEs was highest at week 1 and decreased over time. In OSA at doses ≤150 mg, headache, nausea, and feeling jittery had median durations ≤8 days, whereas decreased appetite, anxiety, and insomnia had longer durations. In narcolepsy at doses ≤150 mg, headache and nausea had median durations ≤8 days, whereas decreased appetite and dry mouth had longer durations. Most TEAEs were mild to moderate in severity.

Common early-onset TEAEs with solriamfetol are limited in duration, with the majority subsiding during the first week of treatment.

NCT02348593; NCT02348606.Eye diseases are an important group of increasingly prevalent disorders that contribute very significantly to disability and represent a considerable health burden. Some data suggest that several of these diseases may be associated with sleep-disordered breathing, mainly obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), due to intermediate mechanisms, such as intermittent hypoxia or sleep fragmentation. The aims of this systematic review were to identify and critically evaluate the current evidence supporting the existence of a possible relationship between OSA and the more relevant eye diseases as well as to evaluate the potential pathogenic mechanisms. There is a body of largely low level evidence for the association of OSA with glaucoma, nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy, central serous chorioretinopathy and diabetic retinopathy. Meta-analysis of available case-control studies shows that OSA increases the risk of glaucoma (pooled odds ratio 1.50; 95% confidence interval 1.25 to 1.80; p less then 0.001), nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (3.62; 1.94 to 6.76; p less then 0.001) and diabetic retinopathy (1.57; 1.09 to 2.27; p=0.02). Moreover, several pathogenic pathways have been identified, mainly related to hypoxic damage, mechanical stress, systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, sympathetic tone and endothelial dysfunction. In contrast, information about the effect of apnea-hypopnea suppression on the development and progression of eye damage is either non-existent or of a very low level of evidence. In conclusion, OSA has emerged as an additional potential risk factor for many eye diseases, although their link is weak and contradictory, so further examination is required.
In Portugal, a colorectal cancer screening program based on faecal immunochemical test followed by colonoscopy was shown to be cost-effective for individuals between 50 and 74 years old. HDAC inhibitor We report the first findings of the implementation of a population-based program In Northern Portugal.

In the pilot phase, eligible subjects were allocated either to a direct mailing invitation or to primary care centers. In the first year of program implementation, we assessed the uptake rate, the faecal immunochemical test -positivity rate, the diagnostic yield of advanced neoplasia, and the quality parameters for post-faecal immunochemical test + colonoscopy.

We invited 100 501 eligible subjects (49% male with a median age of 55 years). Of these, 5228 participated in the pilot phase and 95 273 participated in the first year of the program. In the first year of the program, the adherence was 29%, with a positivity rate of 5% and a 60% compliance to colonoscopy. The faecal immunochemical test-detection rate of advanced neoplasia was 0.35/1000 subjects, and the positive predictive value at post- faecal immunochemical test + colonoscopy was 44% and 2% for advanced adenoma and invasive cancer, respectively. No major adverse events were reported after colonoscopy.

The suboptimal adherence to faecal immunochemical test and post-faecal immunochemical test + colonoscopy remains the most urgent step to be addressed.

A centralized invitation system based on direct mailing was feasible and both colonoscopy quality and diagnostic yield were adequate antecipating the success of the programme.

The 16S rRNA gene sequences of the two strains were 97.5% similar to each other. Strains Gai3-2T and NJ-3-1T had the highest sequence similarities to 'Halobonum tyrrellense' G22 (96.7 and 97.8%, respectively), and displayed similarities of 91.5-93.5% and 92.3-94.7%, respectively, to Halobaculum members. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the two strains formed different branches and clustered tightly with 'H. tyrrellense' G22 and Halobaculum members. The average nucleotide identity (ANI), in silico DNA-DNA hybridization (isDDH) and amino acid identity (AAI) values between the two strains were 83.1, 26.9 and 77.9%, respectively, much lower than the threshold values proposed as a species boundary. These values between the two strains and 'H. tyrrellense' G22 (ANI 77.9-78.2%, isDDH 22.5-22.6% and AAI 68.8-69.3%) and Halobaculum members (ANI 77.53-77.63%, isDDH 21.8-22.
