Laboratory Exposures from an Unsuspected Case of Human Infection with Brucella canis
We report a case of human infection with a Brucella canis isolate in an adult in Canada who was receiving a biologic immunomodulating medication. We detail subsequent investigations, which showed that 17 clinical microbiology staff had high-risk exposures to the isolate, 1 of whom had a positive result for B. canis.

Pokâemon adventures. Black 2 & White 2. Volume 1
\"Two years have passed since Team Plasma was defeated and Trainer Black was sucked into the Light Stone along with Legendary Pokâemon Reshiram... Now Team Plasma is back to its wicked ways, controlling other people's Pokâemon and even wild Pokâemon with technology. Luckily, a new young hero and Looker of the International Police are on their trail... Colress, the new leader of Team Plasma, is attacking the Unova region. His machines control Pokâemon, wielding their powers for evil instead of good. Fortunately, a way to jam the signals is stored on a memory card. But who has the card...? A girl at the Pokâemon Trainers' School! Maybe that's why our hero is such a flirt--he's just doing his job gathering intel. But he'd better stop playing the field and find that card fast before someone beats him to it!\"--Page [4] of cover.

Nasopharyngeal angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) expression as a risk-factor for SARS-CoV-2 transmission in concurrent hospital associated outbreaks
Background
Widespread human-to-human transmission of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus two (SARS-CoV-2) stems from a strong affinity for the cellular receptor angiotensin converting enzyme two (ACE2). We investigate the relationship between a patient’s nasopharyngeal
ACE2
transcription and secondary transmission within a series of concurrent hospital associated SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks in British Columbia, Canada.
Methods
Epidemiological case data from the outbreak investigations was merged with public health laboratory records and viral lineage calls, from whole genome sequencing, to reconstruct the concurrent outbreaks using infection tracing transmission network analysis.
ACE2
transcription and RNA viral load were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The transmission network was resolved to calculate the number of potential secondary cases. Bivariate and multivariable analyses using Poisson and Negative Binomial regression models was performed to estimate the association between
ACE2
transcription the number of SARS-CoV-2 secondary cases.
Results
The infection tracing transmission network provided
n
= 76 potential transmission events across
n
= 103 cases. Bivariate comparisons found that on average
ACE2
transcription did not differ between patients and healthcare workers (
P
= 0.86). High
ACE2
transcription was observed in 98.6% of transmission events, either the primary or secondary case had above average
ACE2
. Multivariable analysis found that the association between
ACE2
transcription (log
2
fold-change) and the number of secondary transmission events differs between patients and healthcare workers. In health care workers Negative Binomial regression estimated that a one-unit change in
ACE2
transcription decreases the number of secondary cases (β = -0.132 (95%CI: -0.255 to -0.0181) adjusting for RNA viral load. Conversely, in patients a one-unit change in
ACE2
transcription increases the number of secondary cases (β = 0.187 (95% CI: 0.0101 to 0.370) adjusting for RNA viral load. Sensitivity analysis found no significant relationship between
ACE2
and secondary transmission in health care workers and confirmed the positive association among patients.
Conclusion
Our study suggests that
ACE2
transcription has a positive association with SARS-CoV-2 secondary transmission in admitted inpatients, but not health care workers in concurrent hospital associated outbreaks, and it should be further investigated as a risk-factor for viral transmission.

Do Public Library Summer Reading Programs Close the Achievement Gap? The Dominican Study
This article hopes to repeat the study that Barbara Heyns completed in the 1970s that stated reading as the activity most strongly attributed to summer learning with the help of the Dominican University. Public librarians have constructed programs for summer reading to harness and foster children's love for reading and to avoid any lack of interest in the children's reading skills over the summer. This has practice has been going on for many years. It was discovered that students had low scores in reading even in schools performing poorly. This prompts a debate if programs by the public library to promote summer reading remain effective for students to learn during that period. Adapted from the source document.
