Summary
Much effort has been spent trying to determine who ‘Q’ is, yet little is known about the characteristics of who follows ‘Q’ and QAnon. This chapter discusses the cognitive processes, cognitive biases, and traits (e.g., beliefs and individual characteristics) possibly associated with QAnon followers. Cognitive processes such as delusional ideation, teleological thinking, cognitive closure, and Pierre’s (2020) socio-epistemic model are examined in the context of QAnon followers, along with a variety of cognitive biases (e.g., groupthink, confirmation bias, jumping to conclusions bias). Additionally, traits such as being racist (e.g., holding anti-Black and anti-Semitic attitudes), narcissism, Machiavellianism, and political affiliations are possible common traits among QAnon followers. A brief discussion of how QAnon is similar or different from other groups (e.g., conspiracy or religious groups) is offered, along with some research questions for future study about QAnon specifically. This understanding is crucial, especially as QAnon followers are gaining political power and agency.

Vaccines serve as a major tool against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, but vaccine hesitancy remains a major concern in the United States. Healthcare workers (HCWs) strongly influence a patient’s decision to get vaccinated. We evaluated HCW knowledge and attitudes regarding the COVID-19 vaccine.

In March 2020, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic raged, and samples from the Detroit Medical Center (DMC) were sent offsite for testing. From April 3, 2020, DMC laboratories ran rapid Cepheid Xpert Xpress severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests within hospital labs. We detected differences in length of stay (LOS) and antibiotic duration between positive results from offsite and in-house tests.

Background:
Hospitalizations among skilled nursing facility (SNF) residents in Detroit increased in mid-March 2020 due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Outbreak response teams were deployed from local healthcare systems, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Detroit Health Department (DHD) to understand the infection prevention and control (IPC) gaps in SNFs that may have accelerated the outbreak.
Methods:We conducted 2 point-prevalence surveys (PPS-1 and PPS-2) at 13 Detroit SNFs from April 8 to May 8, 2020. The DHD and partners conducted facility-wide severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) testing of all residents and staff and collected information regarding resident cohorting, staff cohorting, and personnel protective equipment (PPE) utilized during that time.
Results:Resident cohorting had been implemented in 7 of 13 (58.3%) SNFs prior to point-prevalence survey 1 (PPS-1), and other facilities initiated cohorting after obtaining PPS-1 results. Cohorting protocols of healthcare practitioners and environmental service staff were not established in 4 (31%) of 13 facilities, and in 3 facilities (23.1%) the ancillary staff were not assigned to cohorts. Also, 2 SNFs (15%) had an observation unit prior to PPS-1, 2 (15%) had an observation unit after PPS-1, 4 (31%) could not establish an observation unit due to inadequate space, and 5 (38.4%) created an observation unit after PPS-2.
Conclusion:On-site consultations identified gaps in IPC knowledge and cohorting that may have contributed to ongoing transmission of SARS-CoV-2 among SNF residents despite aggressive testing measures. Infection preventionists (IPs) are critical in guiding ongoing IPC practices in SNFs to reduce spread of COVID-19 through response and prevention.

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) remains a key pathogen in burn patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Disruption of skin barrier exposes these individuals to a myriad of infections. Various decolonization approaches, including chlorhexidine baths and intranasal mupirocin, have shown favorable outcomes in preventing MRSA infections in this cohort. Methods: In August 2020, a mupirocin decolonization protocol was implemented in Michigan’s largest trauma-level 1 burn intensive care unit. All patients admitted to the burn unit received daily intranasal mupirocin for the initial 5 days of hospitalization. We compared MRSA bacteremia rates per 1,000 patient days from January–July 2020 to those after August 2020. A hospital-acquired MRSA bacteremia infection was defined as a positive blood culture after hospital day 3. Patient characteristics and hospital course were collected through medical chart review. A 2-tailed t test was used for analysis. Results: We identified 5 cases of hospital-onset MRSA bacteremia and no cases of community-onset MRSA bacteremia. On average, there were 2.6 cases per 1,000 patient days before mupirocin implementation and 1.0 cases per 1,000 patient days after mupirocin implementation (P = .26) (Figure 1). In this patient cohort, the average total body surface area burned was 45.6% (range, 18%–90%), and 60% (n = 3) of patients had sputum culture positive for MRSA prior to developing bacteremia (Table 1). Also, 2 patients (40%) with MRSA bacteremia died. Notably, the patient in the postintervention cohort was admitted in July, prior to implementation. Conclusions: Implementation of a decolonization protocol with intranasal mupirocin in burn-surgery patients markedly decreased the incidence of MRSA bacteremia in this cohort. This is the first study to evaluate the use of mupirocin as a decolonizing agent in burn victims. Continued long-term surveillance is recommended, and this strategy has potential for application to other high-risk cohorts.

Oligofructose is a prebiotic dietary fibre obtained from chicory root inulin. Oligofructose supplementation may affect satiety, food intake, body weight and/or body composition. The aim was to examine the efficacy of oligofructose-supplemented granola bars on the following weight management outcomes: satiety, energy intake, body weight and body composition in overweight or obese adults. In all, fifty-five adults with overweight or obesity (thirty-six females/nineteen males; age: 41 (sd 12) years; 90·6 (sd 11·8) kg; BMI: 29·4 (sd 2·6) kg/m2) participated in a parallel, triple-blind, placebo-controlled intervention. A total of twenty-nine subjects replaced their snacks twice a day with an equienergetic granola bar supplemented with 8 g of oligofructose (OF-Bar). Subjects in the control group (n 26) replaced their snack with a control granola bar without added oligofructose (Co-Bar). Satiety, 24-h energy intake, body weight and body composition (fat mass and waist circumference) were measured at baseline, weeks 6 and 12. In addition, weekly appetite and gastrointestinal side effects were measured. During the intervention, energy intake, body weight and fat mass remained similar in the Co-Bar and OF-Bar groups (all P>0·05). Both groups lost 0·3 (sd 1·2) kg lean mass (P<0·01) and reduced their waist circumference with −2·2 (sd 3·6) cm (P<0·0001) after 12 weeks. The OF-Bar group reported decreased hunger in later weeks of the intervention (P=0·04), less prospective food consumption (P=0·03) and less thirst (P=0·003). To conclude, replacing daily snacks for 12 weeks with oligofructose-supplemented granola bars does not differentially affect energy intake, body weight and body composition compared with a control bar. However, there was an indication that appetite was lower after oligofructose bar consumption.

This round table presents an overview of activities developed at higher education institutions with graduate and postgraduate studies in dance in Brazil, especially southern Brazil. Oddly enough, amid the global crisis in early 2008, the Brazilian government launched an educational program that allowed the expansion of courses at the graduate level, including dance, in several public and free universities. As an example of this scenario, we present our experiences in two public universities, UFRGS and UDESC. These dance courses have seen increasing interest and confrontation the presence of artists and researchers seeking to investigate their own work or the work of others. How can we contemplate structuring contents and methods to teach dance in the university context? How does a dance artist associate the experience of dancing to academic research? How does teaching dance force universities to think about embodied knowledge? The situation of teaching dance in Brazilian universities shows that there is still a lot to be done, considering that the creation of these courses is rather new and that dance, in this context, is an area of ongoing consolidation. The struggle to create a greater number of dance courses in universities is part of the discussion of this session. The practice of teaching dance in universities seeks to articulate repertoires of knowledges that belong to different traditions and artistic experiences transversed by reflections about contemporary dance, and to qualify the teacher, the dancer, and the researcher.

The Welton Member of the Scotch Grove Formation at Shaffton Quarry, near Camanche, Iowa, is about 427 Ma old and contains numerous metaconulariid specimens, many of which are preserved in apex-downward orientation. Some of these show an unusual, splayed, “Maltese cross” configuration. Apex-downward configurations suggest rapid burial, consistent with the soft part preservation known in other taxa from this locality. The abundance of Metaconularia at Shaffton Quarry, and of topotype specimens of M. aspersa, the generic type species, permits evaluation of the degree of individual and intracollectional variation in peridermal ornament. Variation within and among individuals precludes reliance on ornamental differences in species differentiation in most cases. In view of these results we assign all Shaffton specimens to Metaconularia manni (Roy, 1935), and revise Metaconularia based on its type material from Europe and other material from Europe and North America. An exploratory phylogenetic analysis highlights aspects of character distribution within the genus, but the small number of characters states and possible taphonomic influences upon them limit confidence in the clade topology. Subgroups within the genus are characterized by larger, discoidal papillae, and by strong transverse corrugation and sinuous rows of smaller papillae. The genus itself comprises those conulariids with an external ornamentation of simple, round, small papillae, paired internal septae along the midlines, and a thin periderm that was to some degree pliable during life.

Summary
Introduction
During pregnancy, routine imaging of the fetal kidney is usual, although it may be prompted by an abnormal amount of amniotic fluid. In the newborn, imaging is performed as follow-up to fetal findings or it is prompted by clinical indications. These include the following:
in the antenatal period oligohydramnios may signal onset of the Potter sequence;
pulmonary hypoplasia with need for respiratory support and/or air-leak syndromes;
features consistent with a syndrome, (trisomy 21; VACTERL; prune-belly syndrome, etc.);
oliguria – defined in the newborn as < 1 ml/(kghr) of urine aft er the first day of life;
renal failure – progressive azotemia at or aft er 72 hours of life;
macroscopic or microscopic hematuria;
renal masses found on examination or by prenatal ultrasound;
no or poor urinary stream aft er the first day of life;
evidence of urosepsis;
ascites.
Modalities of imaging
The clinical value of newborn urogenital imaging can be separated into two categories. First, imaging can be used to provide detailed anatomical information. Second, imaging is increasingly being used to provide functional information about the kidneys. In the newborn, functional information even from the newer imaging modalities in the first two weeks of life is limited by nephrogenesis ending at 36 weeks gestational age, by a reduced glomerular filtration rate, and by reduced concentration ability.

Suspected nosocomial Aspergillus fumigatus infections in an Australian hematology unit were investigated by molecular typing of clinical and environmental isolates using polymerase chain reaction fingerprinting, CSP typing, and multilocus microsatellite typing. Only multilocus microsatellite typing revealed that all isolates were genetically distinct. The selection of an appropriate typing method is essential for effective outbreak investigations.
