🦠 Atypical CDI linked to worse outcomes and delays

Atypical presentations of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) without initial diarrhea were found to cause delayed treatment and double the 90-day mortality. This study was conducted on hospitalized adults in a tertiary health service in Australia between January 2018 and December 2021. Among 467 CDI episodes, atypical cases represented 19.5% and showed significantly delayed treatment compared to typical ones. Gastrointestinal dysmotility was noted in 32% of episodes at diagnosis and persisted for up to 6 weeks. The authors suggest expanding CDI guidelines to recognize these atypical signs to lower global mortality. 🦠

🌕 Moon dust holds secrets of exploding stars

Meteoroid impacts on the Moon's surface excavate cosmic history from ancient supernova explosions. Scientists at the University of Hawaii developed a stochastic model to decode this 'impact gardening' process across the lunar regolith. This model helps future explorers choose optimal locations for core samples based on impact history. Lunar dust acts as a long-term archive, preserving records spanning 80 to 100 million years or more. Future missions can use this model to reveal new insights into supernova history. 🌕
