ABSTRACT Germline GATA2 deficiency predisposes to bone marrow failure, myeloid neoplasia, and immune dysregulation. The syndrome is often complicated by infection with intracellular pathogens and viruses, autoimmunity, and inflammation. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare occurrence that can present further management challenges.

Is a Proactive Approach to Controlling Legionella in the Environment Justified?
Research background. Legionella are Gram-negative bacteria that are ubiquitous in the natural environment. Contaminated water in man-made water systems is a potential source of transmission of legionnaires’ disease.

Balancing Building Water Conservation and Microbial Water Quality
Abstract Flow restrictors are widely used to improve water efficiency by limiting flow rates in faucets and showerheads. While these devices contribute to significant reductions in water consumption and associated energy costs, they may also pose unintended risks to microbial water quality. In healthcare and other high‐risk settings, reduced flow rates

Abstract Aims One in six hospital beds across England is occupied by someone with diabetes. While guidance on inpatient diabetes care is available, national audit data demonstrate that people still experience significant and avoidable diabetes‐related harms. This study is unique in exploring how people with diabetes admitted to hospital for any medical

Motorized DNAzymes Drive Enhanced Electrochemical Biosensing for Rapid Bacterial Detection
The micromotor DNAzyme analyzer (Motolyzer) enables sensitive electrochemical detection of Legionella pneumophila proteins in unprocessed samples with high specificity. Upon target recognition, DNAzymes actively release redox barcodes, which are detected on DNA‐functionalized electrodes.

Abstract Many policymakers are unwilling, or think that it is infeasible, to perform comprehensive cost–benefit analysis (CBA) of programmes in social policy arenas. What principles actually underlie CBA? An understanding is necessary to assess whether other evaluation methods are close enough to CBA to provide useful information on social efficiency ...

How Does Biological Sex Impact Mucosal Bacterial Infection? Mucosal Defenses and Bacterial Detection
ABSTRACT Urinary tract infections possess substantial sex disparities in the incidence, immune response, and progression of infection. Some of these distinctions may be due to sexual dimorphism in mucosal barriers or sex differences in the initial immune response to infection.
