SINGAPORE — While the authorities were investigating a man for having sex with another man without disclosing he had the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), he committed the same offence. This time, with a colleague. On Tuesday (June 7), the 48-year-old Singaporean was jailed for 12 months.

Hospitals and policymakers alike have banded together to improve recognition and treatment of sepsis, a life-threatening reaction to infection, which by some estimates, accounts for 30-50% of all deaths in hospitalized patients. Lessening sepsis' deadly effects means clinicians need to move quickly to recognize the signs and symptoms, and initiate treatment with antibiotics. However, a parallel movement within healthcare to limit the unnecessary use of antibiotics has caused some experts to wonder whether efforts to treat sepsis faster, and the use of time-to-treatment thresholds as a hospital performance measure, could lead to overuse of antibiotics and the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. New research from the University of Michigan Medical School, the VA Ann Arbor and Kaiser Permanente helps puts these fears to rest. Led by Hallie Prescott, M.D. of the U-M Health Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care and Vincent Liu, M.D., of Kaiser Permanente Division of Research,...

Joe: "As engineering test pilots, we're not the first to fly the aircraft. Rather, we're oftentimes the first to fly a product on an aircraft. For example, in developing a terrain awareness system, we're the first to fly a plane with that system onboard. The goal is to prove that the system works as advertised and that it will provide the appropriate warnings in a timely fashion – and ultimately, make flights safer for the flying public: passengers, flight attendants and crew. What's cool about this job is that we get to follow the lifecycle of a product – from helping to develop it to offering inputs from an operational perspective, then seeing it through certification, then demonstrating how it works."

Abstract Hyperphosphatemia is a consequence of chronic kidney disease associated with mineral/bone impairment, increased cardiovascular events and mortality. Therapeutically, most dialysis patients have to take phosphate binders. Here, we investigated effects of the Fe(3+)-based phosphate binder sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SFOH) on the oral and gastrointestinal microbiome of 11 hemodialysis patients. Saliva, dental plaque and stool were collected at baseline, one and four weeks of SFOH intake and subjected to 16S rRNA gene (V3-V4 region) directed Illumina MiSeq-based analysis. Total Fe, Fe(2+) and Fe(3+) were determined in stool and saliva. Overall, the microbiome did not change significantly. However, some patient-, sample- and taxon-specific differences were noted, which allowed patients to be divided into those with a shift in their microbiome (6/11) and those without a shift (5/11). Total Fe and Fe(2+) were highest after one week of SFOH, particularly in patients who exhibited a shif...
