Outbreak of Superbug from Human Eye Drops Spreads to Dogs
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.

Upsurge in whooping cough in Europe, call for increased vigilance in France
Whooping cough is a highly contagious bacterial infection whose transmission occurs mainly within the family or in communities through contact with a sick person with a cough. Even though the number of cases of whooping cough has decreased significantly since the introduction of the vaccine, the bacteria continues to circulate. Infants too young to be vaccinated and adolescents and adults who have lost vaccine protection are the most affected populations. Outside our borders, Europe is currently experiencing an upsurge in cases of whooping cough with significant epidemics in Croatia, Denmark and the United Kingdom and significant increases in Belgium, Spain and Germany. In France, since the start of 2024, around twenty grouped cases (or clusters) have been reported to Public Health France in 8 French regions versus 2 grouped cases in a single region (Ile-de-France) for throughout 2023. Given this clear increase in the number of cluster cases reported, Public Health France remains vigilant and recalls the importance of vaccination to protect people at risk of serious forms.
A resumption of the circulation of whooping cough begins in France
Whooping cough progresses in cycles of recrudescence every 3 to 5 years. In France, surveillance data from the RENACOQ network (the hospital pertussis surveillance network) have shown six epidemic peaks in recent years: 1997, 2000, 2005, 2009, 2012-2013 and 2017-2018. Since the last peak of whooping cough (162 cases reported), the number of cases has continued to decrease to reach 34 cases in 2020 and 4 cases in 2021 in infants under 12 months. Same observation regarding the data from the Sentinelles network (the research and monitoring network in primary care general medicine and pediatrics in mainland France) reporting 1 case per year in the general population over the same period.

Is it true that the melting of polar ice can change the rotation of the Earth? This is what the researchers say
Jakarta –
Melting polar ice can actually have significant effects on Earth. Melting of the poles due to human-caused climate change could change the Earth’s rotation and disrupt time, according to new research.
The rotation of the Earth is the determining factor of our daily weather. However, this rotation is unstable and can undergo small changes influenced by activities occurring on the Earth’s surface and core.
This change is not very visible, but sometimes the world clock needs to be adjusted to “leap seconds”. Even though it seems small, it can have a big impact on a computer system.
Time adjustment by managing the seconds
Before 1955, one second was defined as the time it took the Earth to complete one rotation around the stars. Then came the era of highly precise atomic clocks which became a much more stable way to determine the physical second.
The world began using Coordinated Universal Time (UTSC) since the late 1960s to establish time zones. UTC is based on atomic clocks, but keeps pace with planetary rotation.

Scientists discover intestinal bacteria that digest cholesterol
Too high a cholesterol level increases the risk of cardiovascular disease enormously. In addition to hereditary conditions, an unhealthy lifestyle is also responsible for this. In a recent study, researchers from the USA have found that certain intestinal bacteria can also have positive effects on cholesterol levels.
According to the research team, it is already known from previous studies that there is an interaction between the microbiome and cholesterol. The microbiome refers to all organisms – such as bacteria, fungi and viruses – that colonize the human intestine. However, the exact connections for this interaction have so far remained unclear.
By evaluating data from over 1,400 participants in the Framingham Heart Study, the team at the Broad Institute in Cambridge was now able to determine that certain intestinal bacteria can lower cholesterol levels. The DNA of the microbes in stool samples from the test subjects was examined.
The results showed: People in particular whose intestinal flora had an increased presence of the bacterium Oscillibacter had lower cholesterol levels. Oscillibacter has the ability to absorb and metabolize cholesterol because it converts cholesterol into coprostanol, which in turn can be broken down by other bacteria. The team came to this conclusion after further laboratory tests.

After the match between DeNA and Giants (Yokohama) on the 26th, “BLUE ☆LIGHT LIVE” was hosted by Yuya Asaoka (55), singer of “FIELD OF VIEW”.
Asaoka also played the ceremonial pitch and sang the national anthem before the game. In the final card match against Hanshin, the match was over at 9:30pm, and the live performances scheduled for after the match by musicians Tatsuya Ishii and Maki Watase of LINDBERG were canceled without expected for two nights in a row due to stadium rules. Asaoka enthusiastically said, “I want to carry the thoughts of Tatsuya Ishii and LINDBERG on my shoulders and make the stadium come alive.”
The longest time this season at the Yokohama stadium was 4 hours and 13 minutes against Hanshin on the 23rd, followed by 3 hours and 53 minutes against Hanshin on the 24th. It was a long and fierce battle only on days when there was a live show after the game. On the other hand, the shortest time this season was 2 hours and 43 minutes against Hiroshima on March 30. The second shortest was 2 hours 50 minutes in the Japan-China game on September 9, followed by 2 hours 51 minutes in the opening game against Hiroshim

Public Locations Linked to Measles Exposure Identified by WI Department of Health Services
WI DHS identifies public locations where people may have been exposed to measles
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (WI DHS) has released a statement identifying several public locations where individuals may have been exposed to measles. Measles, a highly contagious viral infection, poses a significant risk to public health, and the identification of potential exposure locations is crucial in preventing further spread.
According to the WI DHS, individuals who visited these locations during the specified timeframes should be vigilant for any symptoms of measles and seek medical attention if necessary. The identified locations include:
- Rock County: The statement highlights that a resident of Dane County, who has been confirmed to have measles, spent time in Rock County during a specific period. It is imperative that individuals who were at any public place in Rock County during this time monitor themselves for symptoms and take the necessary precautions.
- Dane County: In addition to the exposure in Rock County, the Public Health Madison and Dane County (PHMDC) has identified community exposure locations within Dane County. This information helps individuals who may have come into contact with the infected individual to be aware of their potential risk and take appropriate measures.
