Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common pathogen associated with acute lower respiratory tract infections in young children. RSV is also a major viral pathogen causing severe lung disease in the adult population, particularly among the elderly. We conducted a review of adult RSV studies published from January 1970 to February 2017 to determine the burden of disease among adults worldwide. There were no restrictions on health care setting or definition of RSV infection. A total of 1530 published studies were identified, 95 of which were included in this review. Mdivi1 The incidence rates of hospitalised RSV acute respiratory tract infection (ARI) in adults >65 years old ranged from 7.3 to 13.0/105 population in Africa and Asia and from 190 to 254/105 population in the USA. Higher incidence rates (195-1790/105 population) were observed in adults ≥50 years old for outpatient or emergency visits in the USA. Of all ARI patients, RSV accounted for 1-10% in adults and 2-14% in patients with chronic diseases or transplantation. Given the limitations in the existing data, significant efforts should be made to generate evidence on the burden of RSV infections in adults and to estimate the potential impact of future preventive interventions.In June 2017, an outbreak of Salmonella Kottbus infection was suspected in Germany. We investigated the outbreak with whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and a case-control study. Forty-six isolates from 69 cases were subtyped. Three WGS clusters were identified cluster 1 (n = 36), cluster 2 (n = 5) and cluster 3 (n = 3). Compared to controls, cluster 1 cases more frequently consumed raw smoked ham (odds ratio (OR) 10, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.2-88) bought at supermarket chain X (OR 36, 95% CI 4-356; 9/10 consumed ham Y). All four cluster 2 cases interviewed had consumed quail eggs. Timely WGS was invaluable in distinguishing concurrent outbreaks of a rare Salmonella serotype.Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended for men who have sex with men (MSM) in many countries, but information on vaccine coverage is scarce. We studied hepatitis B vaccination programmes and coverage among MSM in Europe to guide prevention. From a large (N = 174 209) pan-European MSM survey (EMIS-2010), we used data on self-reported hepatitis B vaccination, age, education, settlement size and disclosure of the same-sex sexual orientation ('outness'). We excluded participants with a history of hepatitis B. In multilevel (participants, countries) logistic regression models, we calculated adjusted odds ratios (aOR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). We analysed data of 163 987 MSM in 38 European countries 38.3% were 'out' to all or almost all, 56.4% reported vaccination against hepatitis B and 65.5% lived in countries with free recommended hepatitis B vaccination for MSM. In the final model the odds for being vaccinated increased with outness ('out to all or almost all' aOR 1.76, 95% CI 1.70-1.83 vs. 'out to no one') and with living in countries, where hepatitis B vaccination was recommended and free-of-charge for MSM (aOR 2.21, 95% CI 1.47-3.32 vs. 'no or unclear recommendation'). To increase hepatitis B vaccination coverage among MSM, implementation of MSM-specific recommendations and improvement of the societal climate for MSM is needed.Thermodynamic modeling (in the software suite Selector) of the processes controlling the surface and groundwater chemistry in the catchment area of the Malaya Belaya River as part of the water-rock system made it possible to identify the migration forms and ratios of vital, carcinogenic, and toxic elements. It was found that the surface and groundwater chemistry is controlled by the interactions of surface, ground, and fissure water with the nepheline syenites and chibinites of the Khibiny massif, which is supported by the data on the concentrations of heavy isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen (δ18O and δ2H). The natural water chemistry and the element ratios may be causes of some of the diseases common among the area's residents, since these diseases are due to the excessively high or low or out-of-balance concentrations of many biologically important components and ratios thereof.Patterns and correlates of substance use among urban African American young women (ages 18-19, n = 459) were examined. Four patterns were identified no/infrequent alcohol and marijuana use (64.9%); recent alcohol only use (18.2%); recent marijuana only use (7.9%); and recent alcohol and marijuana use (9.0%). Having a recent male sexual partner and a history of sexual coercion were associated with increased odds of marijuana-only and dual use. Greater family support and childhood sexual abuse were associated with increased odds of alcohol-only use. Results suggest that sexual relationships and history of abuse/coercion are important factors in young African American women's substance use.Training with low carbohydrate availability enhances endurance training adaptations but training volume may be compromised. We explored whole-body metabolism and performance with delayed carbohydrate feeding during exercise undertaken following acute sleep-low training. We hypothesised this strategy would not suppress fat oxidation and would maintain exercise performance. The study involved three experimental trials and included 9 men and 1 woman (⩒O2peak = 58.8 ± 5.5 mL kg-1 min-1). Each trial started in the afternoon with an exhaustive cycling protocol. The following morning 1-h of steady-state cycling (SS) was followed by a time trial (TT). Carbohydrates (CHO) were not ingested in recovery from exhaustive exercise or during next day exercise in the Placebo trial (PLA); CHO were not ingested during recovery but were fed (15 g every ∼15-min) from 30-min into SS and continued during the TT in the delayed feeding trial (DELAY); CHO were provided during recovery (1.2 g/kg/h for 7 h) and next day exercise (as in DELAY) in a third condition (CHO). Exercise metabolism was assessed using indirect calorimetry and blood sampling. Fat oxidation rates during SS were similar in PLA (0.83 ± 0.17 g/min) and DELAY (0.78 ± 0.14 g/min) (p > 0.05) and higher than CHO (0.57 ± 0.27 g/min) (p 0.05). Delayed carbohydrate feeding could be a strategy to maintain high-fat oxidation rates typically associated with exercise undertaken after the sleep-low approach to training but the acute performance effects remain inconclusive.
