Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative, halophilic and polymorphic coccobacillus. It is world-widely distributed and has resulted in great economic losses since its first appearance. In this study, a pathogenic strain was isolated from diseased pearl gentian grouper and identified as V. parahaemolyticus based on the sequencing results of 16S rDNA gene. In order to gain a comprehensive understanding of this isolation, the whole genome sequencing was conducted. Phylogenetic analysis of the complete genomes of 16 Vibrio species showed that LF1113, ATCC17802, ATCC33787, 2210633, FORC 004, and 160807 were the most closely related. Animal experiments demonstrated that the isolated LF1113 strain was pathogenic in a fish model. This study is the first study to describe the complete genome sequence of a V. parahaemolyticus isolate, which infected pearl gentian grouper from an outbreak in a fish factory farm in Hainan. The results will expand our understanding of genetic characteristics, pathogenesis, diagnostics and disease prevention of V. parahaemolyticus, and lay the foundation for further study.

Background: Existing longitudinal cohort study data and associated biospecimen libraries provide abundant opportunities to efficiently examine new hypotheses through retrospective specimen testing. Outcome-dependent sampling (ODS) methods offer a powerful alternative to random sampling when testing all available specimens is not feasible or biospecimen preservation is desired. For repeated binary outcomes, a common ODS approach is to extend the case-control framework to the longitudinal setting.

Background: Children in the United States have poor diet quality, increasing their risk for chronic disease burden later in life. Caregivers' feeding behaviors are a critical factor in shaping lifelong dietary habits. The Strong Families Start at Home/Familias Fuertes Comienzan en Casa (SFSH) was a 6-month, home-based, pilot randomized-controlled feasibility trial that aimed to improve the diet quality of 2-5-year-old children and promote positive parental feeding practices among a predominantly Hispanic/Latine sample.

Objectives: Empty sella is the herniation of the subarachnoid space into the sella turcica; either secondary to identifiable causes (e.g., surgery or radiotherapy); or spontaneously, which is termed primary empty sella (PES).

Topic: To compare the outcomes of surgical approaches to correct ametropia following cataract and lens surgery.
Clinical Relevance: Despite advancements in the field of biometry and intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas, complete elimination of refractive surprises following cataract and lens surgery is impossible. Preferred Practice Patterns acknowledges the possibility of refractive surprise following cataract surgery; however, no recommendations regarding the preferred treatment have been given.
