Comfort in seeking support from sexual violence prevention education health services among college women.

Objective: Explores racial differences of sexual violence-(SV) health service-(HS) outcomes among college women: (1) seeking support from a confidential-resource-(CR) and (2) reporting SV to the Title IX office. Participants: Data was collected from all ages of women (N = 583) and grade levels from one-large university on the Pacific-coast. Methods: Logistic-regression of HS outcomes were performed using the Fall 2016 American College Health Association-NCHA-II-survey. Results: The following variables increased the likelihood of women seeking support from the two health-services: (#1CR) relationship-status, race, and experiencing sexual-violence. WOC were 7x more likely to seek support if physically-assaulted, and WW were 3.9x more likely to seek support if a graduate student. (#2Title IX) year in school, physical-assault, and receiving prevention-education after the first-year in college. Overall, there were significant differences by race in the variables that influenced WW and WOC's comfort or likelihood to seek support. Conclusion: Colleges need to consider the disproportionate impact of SV on WOC.

Carbapenem resistance in Enterobacteriaceae is an emerging problem worldwide. Among the mechanisms involved are the production of ESBLs or AmpC associated with porins loss or the presence of carbapenemases. Among these, the KPC betalactamase has become especially relevant given its rapid spread.In this article we present the first case of isolation of a strain of KPC producer Klebsiella pneumoniae at a hospital in Santiago, in a patient coming from Italy, with a history of multiple hospitalizations for treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and subjected to several cycles of chemotherapy and hemodialysis. The strain was isolated from a urine culture on the seventh day of the patient's arrival to Chile. The isolate was resistant to quinolones, aminoglycosides, cephalosporins and carbapenems, retaining only susceptibility to tigecycline and colistin. In phenotypic test it was found to have positive Hodge test and positive synergy with carbapenems/boronic acid. Polymerase chain reaction demonstrated the presence of beta-lactamases TEM, SHV and KPC-2. None other Class A serine-carbapenemase or metallo-bectalactamases were present.

La resistencia a carbapenémicos en enterobacterias es un fenómeno emergente en el mundo. Entre los mecanismos implicados se encuentra la producción de BLEE o AmpC asociados a alteraciones de las porinas o la presencia de carbapenemasas. Entre éstas, las de tipo KPC han cobrado especial relevancia dada su rápida diseminación. Se presenta el primer caso de aislamiento de una cepa de Klebsiella pneumoniae productora de KPC en un hospital de Santiago- Región Metropolitana, en un paciente trasladado desde Italia, con el antecedente de múltiples hospitalizaciones para tratamiento de un linfoma no Hodgkin y sometido a varios ciclos de quimioterapia y hemodiálisis. La cepa fue aislada desde un urocultivo al séptimo día de la llegada del paciente a Chile. Fue resistente a quinolonas, aminoglucósidos, cefalosporinas y carbapenémicos, sólo manteniendo sensibilidad a tige-ciclina y colistin. Por test fenotípicos resultó tener test de Hodge positivo y sinergia positiva con carbapenémicos más ácido borónico. Por reacción de polimerasa en cadena se demostró la presencia de β-lactamasas tipo TEM, SHV y KPC-2/KPC-3, no detectándose la presencia de otras serino-carbapenemasas de clase A o de metalo-β-lactamasas.
