Outbreak of Superbug from Human Eye Drops Spreads to Dogs
The FDA also issued a warning for veterinary hospitals and pet owners to check their supplies for recalled eye drops after a report of an infection in a cat. While testing did not conclusively prove that the eye drops caused the infection, the FDA urged caution.

The investigation also highlighted broader issues in infection prevention and control within the veterinary setting. The hospital had limited options for hand hygiene and lacked the use of personal protective equipment, such as gloves. Equipment shared between staff was found to have visible soiling and dust accumulation, and supposedly clean supplies were stored within the splash zone of sinks.
The genetic analysis of the bacteria from the infected dogs revealed a high degree of genetic similarity to the germs responsible for an outbreak last year that affected 81 human patients across 18 states. This outbreak resulted in 14 patients losing their vision and four deaths.

They study mutations in genes that can affect the prognosis of transplant recipients
Researchers at Ibima Plataforma Bionand and the Regional Hospital of Malaga study mutations in genes that can influence the prognosis of transplant patients. …
One of the areas of greatest applicability of this type of genomic study focuses on transplants, they indicated in a statement. With this technique it is possible to closely visualize the genes that control the compatibility between donor and recipient of a transplant, as well as see finer details in human leukocyte antigens (HLA), a type of antigen made up of molecules that are found on the surface of almost all cells in human tissues and in white blood cells. The research team’s description of three new HLA alleles through next-generation sequencing allows, in addition to improving the analysis, the assignment of alleles through the reading of DNA sequences.
Scientists are constantly studying these types of genes to find differences or mutations that are key to predicting in advance whether a transplant will be successful or not.
The research group is led by Alberto Torio, researcher of the “Hematology and Hematotherapy” group, together with immunologists Antonio Rodríguez and Laura C

Unlocking the Power of High Intensity Interval Training for Rapid Weight Loss
If you really want to lose weight this spring, you need to be careful about how you choose your exercise method. It’s easy to gain weight, but it’s really hard to lose it. Even if you eat well and exercise, going on a diet isn’t easy. For people who really want to lose weight, exercise experts recommend high-intensity interval training to quickly lose body fat. Discover high intensity interval training, which boasts powerful body fat burning effects in a short period of time.
◆ What type of exercise is high intensity interval training “1 minute exercise”?
What exercise can help you lose body fat quickly? High-intensity interval training is an exercise that burns body fat quickly. This is also called a “one minute exercise”. This is because it is a physical activity that involves vigorous exercise for about a minute. Do high-intensity exercises for 60 seconds, then rest for 20 seconds and repeat.
But what if the effect of the exercise is not as great as expected? This is most likely because the high-intensity exercise was difficult and could not be continued consistently, or the effect of the exercise was not fully achieved due to poor posture due to the high intensity of the exercise. exercise.
◆ High calorie consumption, excellent for losing visceral fat
According to related documents, high-intensity interval training has health effects such as lowering blood pressure, stabilizing blood sugar, and building physical strength even during short periods of exercise. It also burns more calories than typical resistance exercise such as walking or running at a moderate intensity and is beneficial for losing visceral fat.
Why? Intense exercise that requires a lot of strength promotes changes in our body on a molecular level. It causes “excessive post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC)”. Simply put, this means that you burn more calories than usual not only during exercise, but also afte

A Journey through Medical School: From Pre-Med to Clinical Years – An Honest Review
Hello everyone again. When I was in my first year (at MM they are called pre-medical students), I had the opportunity to start a topic. (You can read it here)
https://www.dek-d.com/board/view/4014641/
This will be a review of various stories from Phramongkutklao College of Medicine. When I was in my first year of study, I thought that my young children would now study a whole new curriculum. This is very different from my generation, including the subjects studied in Year 1 as well as the pre-clinical classes (Years 2-3).
But today I guess I’m answering my question again when I was in Year 1, almost 4 years have passed (I’m currently studying in clinical school), what was my experience in Years 2-4? Is it what we thought? Are you tired when you exercise? What is it like to study medicine? What is it like when you move from the preclinical level to the clinical level? (This is the time when the students are about to choose a faculty and I’m near the end of the semester and I just finished taking exams. So I’m here to review the sequence.)
In Year 2 As many people have researched before, it was a year of heavy training. (For people who are not physically strong like me, it will feel heavy.) After practice, I still feel myself how it was done. When we were training, if we were to talk honestly, there would be many things that we would feel to ourselves, why are we doing this? Is there any reason to do this? But after training at that time, I still did not understand this point until the students had WPM status in the third year. The so-called “black hats” who will be responsible for supervising the young trainees are beginning to understand in the context of the training what its purpose is. What is the reason for the training so hard (but let’s be honest – a lot of things probably do not make sense in my opinion). In our own lives, many things may not make any sense or they may be irritated by various matters of little importance. But we have to adapt to it too.
Therefore, I have the opinion that if you do not like training

First Known Case of Highly Pathogenic H5N1 Avian Influenza in Common Bottlenose Dolphin Revealed by Florida Scientists
New Case of Bird Flu in Dolphins Discovered: Implications for Marine Mammals
Bird Flu Extends Beyond Avian Species
Florida scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery that expands our understanding of bird flu. According to a recently published report in Nature Communications Biology, a common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) was found to be infected with highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza. This finding, despite being from 2022, highlights the potential of flu strains to infect a wide range of mammals.
Landmark Case: First Ever H5N1 Infection in a Dolphin
The infected dolphin was initially identified in distress near Horseshoe Beach in North Florida on March 29, 2022. Despite efforts by the University of Florida’s Marine Animal Rescue Program, the dolphin passed away by the time they arrived. Subsequent examinations revea

Rising Cases of Syphilis with Unusual Symptoms: Vision Problems, Headaches, and Hearing Loss in Chicago
CHICAGO — Disease detectives in Chicago have made a concerning discovery – an increase in patients reporting unusual symptoms such as vision and eye problems, headaches, and hearing loss or dizziness caused by the sexually transmitted infection syphilis. While syphilis has long been known to cause permanent damage to vision and hearing, these symptoms are typically associated with untreated infections that have progressed over many years.
A recent study presented at the 2024 Epidemic Intelligence Service Conference in Atlanta sheds light on this emerging trend. Researchers found that there were over two dozen cases of syphilis-related symptoms in Chicago last year, with nearly a third of these cases in the early stages of infection. Surprisingly, more than two-thirds of these patients did not exhibit typical syphilis symptoms like a rash or chancre sore, making it more challenging for doctors to identify the infection.
Lead study author Dr. Amy Nham, a first-year EIS officer, or “disease detective,” assigned to the Chicago Department of Public Health, emphasizes the need for increased screening by healthcare providers to address this issue. She urges clinicians to be aware of these unusual symptoms and the changing landsca
