A massive analysis of more than 10,000 different Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria isolates from 23 countries has revealed new genes associated with resistance to 13 first- and second-line new and repurposed antibiotics. The work, carried out by Comprehensive Resistance Prediction for Tuberculosis: an International Consortium (CRyPTIC), is described in two new papers publishing August 11 in the open-access journal PLOS Biology . Tuberculosis (TB) is a curable and preventable disease; 85% of those affected can be successfully treated with a six-month regimen of drugs. Despite this, TB has killed more people than other infectious diseases in many recent years, and drug resistant TB is a continual threat. A better understanding of the M. tuberculosis variants that confer antibiotic resistance is important for both better monitoring of resistant strains as well as the development of new drugs. In the first new paper, the researchers outlined how they assembled an open-access data co...

Struggles neurodivergent social workers face in the workplace A lack of awareness and support at work has cultivated a climate of fear and exhaustion for social workers with neurodiverse conditions such as autism, ADHD and dyslexia. A pilot study on the experiences of neurodivergent social workers has found that, of 60 responses, 34 participants reported they had received no specialist workplace support. Around 14 of those said this had been the result of a fear of speaking out and asking for help. According to Deb Solomon, chair of the British Association of Social Workers' (BASW) neurodivergent social workers group and part of the team behind the study, managers' and colleagues' lack of understanding of neurodiversity has played a big role in that. The peer support group was set up in summer 2021, inspired by the attention an article of Solomon's detailing her struggles as a newly diagnosed social worker during lockdown had received. In the past year, S...

MONDAY, Aug. 29, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Katherine Sanden drove over 1,400 miles, from California to Nebraska, to care for her beloved uncle after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in November 2020, but seeing him after years apart was more devastating than she could have ever imagined. Like Sanden, many family caregivers are thrown into the deep end with little to no experience helping someone with Alzheimer's. Though some find outside support to help them navigate health care systems, Sanden struggled to get that for her uncle in Nebraska. After living with him in a small town for three months, Sanden found herself needing to learn ways to advocate for her uncle Larry. The 50-year-old was faced with a completely different health care system than the one she knew in California. Sanden described the two states as drastically different worlds. "It's like living on two separate planets as far as services and what care is available," she noted. One of the major cha...

Nausea refers to feelings of queasiness — often with the urge to vomit. Symptoms of nausea include sweating, a rush of saliva in the mouth, fatigue, and loss of appetite.  While it's often associated with acid reflux and over-eating, nausea can also occur during pregnancy, with motion sickness, or as a side effect of other medical disorders or common illnesses.  There are many anti-nausea medications that can help with severe or persistent nausea.
