Self-diagnosis of mental disorders: a qualitative study of attitudes on Reddit by Foulkes, L, Underhill, R

“…From 1195 user comments, five themes were generated: (1) There is tension over who is the expert in diagnosis; (2) Selfdiagnosis is a route to self-understanding in an inaccessible system; (3) Teenagers on social media are the problem; (4) Self-diagnosis can become self-fulfilling and (5) Now no one is believed. …”

Developing a framework for tracking antimicrobial resistance gene movement in a persistent environmental reservoir by Mathers, AJ, Li, TJX, He, Q, Narendra, S, Stoesser, N, Eyre, DW, Walker, AS, Barry, KE, Castañeda-Barba, S, Huang, FW, Parikh, H, Kotay, S, Crook, DW, Reidys, C

“…We successfully reconstructed the complete bacterial genome and plasmid assemblies of isolates sharing the same blaKPC carbapenemase gene to understand evolution over time in six confined hospital drains over five years. From 82 isolates we identified 14 unique strains from 10 species with 113 blaKPC-carrying plasmids across 16 distinct replicon types. …”

Cardiocutaneous syndrome is caused by aggregation of iASPP mutants by Lotz, R, Osterburg, C, Schäfer, B, Lu, X, Dötsch, V
