    Environmental communicators highlight the importance of local voices and concerns in naturalresource planning, but others argue that the provincialism of place-based discourse can undermine the common good. How do participants speak of place in a public process and to what end? To answer these question, the author analyzed transcripts from thirty public discussions on water use. Findings indicated a discrete orientation toward the environment, as people compared one place to another and failed to mention natural or social connections between locales. The author suggests ways to improve public participation in light of the findings.</p

Their 1st game was Friday night against Earl's from Lethbridge. This was quite a fast paced game and even though the hour was getting late, the Stingers put up a good fight. The 1st goal was scored by Devin from a great pass by Cody. Mitch scored the next one even though he was wearing equipment that was too small and skates that were too big. Conner made a great goal for his 1st of the season; way to go Conner. Mitch managed to make his other 2 goals allowed, but Earl's still beat us by 7-5. The next game was Sat. morning against Taber. After getting a good night's sleep the Stingers were ready and we had a variety of goal getters in this game. Mitch scored his 3rd and we also had Devin, Cody, Shane and Tyson all get one which gave them the victory of 7-5. The last game was Saturday afternoon and we were up against the Cardston Thunder Little­Wings which are undoubtedly the largest team in this Pre-Novice league. The Stingers weren't intimidated at all by these big kids, and they were in the lead after the 1st period. Cassidy put a great fight against the boards even kicking the puck when she was down. Robbie was ready to throw down the gloves a couple of times even though his opponent was twice his size. And Taylor made sure that when a rival was down that he was kept down by dog piling on him. Chase L. was a great hustler in this game but even with all their efforts, the Stingers just couldn't keep Cardston away from the net. Mitch made 2 goals and Mackie, Chase H and Tyson each came away with 1. Warner put on a superb tournament. We all had a fun time and we all look forward to next year when these teams can meet again. ****** It has been said the Rome was not built in a day, and so it is with young hockey teams~as time marches on so does the development of young players. Case in point, we were to play a team from Salt Lake that the scouting report was not too accurate on. In preparing our team for the game Coach Barnett inspired these kids to new heights thought impossible to achieve. Mention should be made that the Raymond Novice team lost 10-0 and got only 5 shots on goal in 65 minutes of play against Salt Lake. Not only did we score the 1st goal but we also outshot them and they didn't get a shot on goal until 6 minutes into the game. Our team was playing way over their heads & played one of the best games of their career. Unfortunately we lost. Their skill level was a tad higher & shooting accuracy took its toll but when playing an Atom level team we did ourselves proud. I think that the bottom line is that if you tell a kid he can't win, he won't try & he will lose but if you instill in a kid a feeling of pride & self worth, some day he will build his Rome (or maybe a home on the west side of Welling).

      Background Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) recurs after initial treatment in approximately one in four patients. A single-centre pilot study suggested that this could be reduced using ‘follow-on’ rifaximin treatment. We aimed to assess the efficacy of rifaximin treatment in preventing recurrence.Methods A multisite, parallel group, randomised, placebo controlled trial recruiting patients aged ≥18 years immediately after resolution of CDI through treatment with metronidazole or vancomycin. Participants received either rifaximin 400 mg three times a day for 2 weeks, reduced to 200 mg three times a day for a further 2 weeks or identical placebo. The primary endpoint was recurrence of CDI within 12 weeks of trial entry.Results Between December 2012 and March 2016, 151 participants were randomised to either rifaximin or placebo. Primary outcome data were available on 130. Mean age was 71.9 years (SD 15.3). Recurrence within 12 weeks was 29.5% (18/61) among participants allocated to placebo compared with 15.9% (11/69) among those allocated to rifaximin, a difference between groups of 13.7% (95% CI −28.1% to 0.7%, p=0.06). The risk ratio was 0.54 (95% CI 0.28 to 1.05, p=0.07). During 6-month safety follow-up, nine participants died in each group (12%). Adverse event rates were similar between groups.Conclusion While ‘follow-on’ rifaximin after CDI appeared to halve recurrence rate, we failed to reach our recruitment target in this group of frail elderly patients, so the estimated effect of rifaximin lacks precision. A meta-analysis including a previous trial suggests that rifaximin may be effective; however, further, larger confirmatory studies are needed.This is an open access article distributed in accordance with the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial (CC BY-NC 4.0) license, which permits others to distribute, remix, adapt, build upon this work non-commercially, and license their derivative works on different terms, provided the original work is properly cited, appropriate credit is given, any changes made indicated, and the use is non-commercial

      Importance For hospitalized critically ill adults with suspected sepsis, procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) monitoring protocols can guide the duration of antibiotic therapy, but the evidence of the effect and safety of these protocols remains uncertain. Objective To determine whether decisions based on assessment of CRP or PCT safely results in a reduction in the duration of antibiotic therapy. Design, Setting, and Participants A multicenter, intervention-concealed randomized clinical trial, involving 2760 adults (≥18 years), in 41 UK National Health Service (NHS) intensive care units, requiring critical care within 24 hours of initiating intravenous antibiotics for suspected sepsis and likely to continue antibiotics for at least 72 hours. Intervention From January 1, 2018, to June 5, 2024, 918 patients were assigned to the daily PCT-guided protocol, 924 to the daily CRP-guided protocol, and 918 assigned to standard care. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcomes were total duration of antibiotics (effectiveness) and all-cause mortality (safety) to 28 days. Secondary outcomes included critical care unit data and hospital stay data. Ninety-day all-cause mortality was also collected. Results Among the randomized patients (mean age 60.2 [SD, 15.4] years; 60.3% males), there was a significant reduction in antibiotic duration from randomization to 28 days for those in the daily PCT-guided protocol compared with standard care (mean duration, 10.7 [SD, 7.6] days for standard care and 9.8 [SD, 7.2] days for PCT; mean difference, 0.88 days; 95% CI, 0.19 to 1.58, P = .01). For all-cause mortality up to 28 days, the daily PCT-guided protocol was noninferior to standard care, where the noninferiority margin was set at 5.4% (19.4% [170 of 878] of patients receiving standard care; 20.9% [184 of 879], PCT; absolute difference, 1.57; 95% CI, −2.18 to 5.32; P = .02). No difference was found in antibiotic duration for standard care vs daily CRP-guided protocol (mean duration, 10.6 [7.7] days for CRP; mean difference, 0.09; 95% CI, −0.60 to 0.79; P = .79). For all-cause mortality, the daily CRP-guided protocol was inconclusive compared with standard care (21.1% [184 of 874] for CRP; absolute difference, 1.69; 95% CI, −2.07 to 5.45; P = .03). Conclusions and Relevance Care guided by measurement of PCT reduces antibiotic duration safely compared with standard care, but CRP does not. All-cause mortality for CRP was inconclusive

      Background Procalcitonin (PCT)-guided antibiotic duration for critically ill adults with sepsis may be clinically effective and safe. However, cost-effectiveness analyses using clinical trial data for this precision medicine approach in critical care are lacking. This economic evaluation investigates the cost-effectiveness of a daily PCT-guided protocol to guide the duration of antibiotic treatment in adult patients with sepsis. Methods Two analyses were conducted, the first estimating the cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) of the ADAPT-Sepsis study, which recruited 2760 patients randomized to a daily PCT-guided protocol, a daily C-reactive protein-guided protocol and standard care. The second analysis used meta-analyzed results from ADAPT-Sepsis and other PCT-guided treatment studies and employed a lifetime horizon. Key outcomes were the incremental costs and QALYs gained from using the daily PCT-guided protocol approach compared with standard care. Other outcome measures included changes in days of antibiotics, days of hospital stay, days of intensive care unit stay, the percentage of deaths and the number of PCT tests performed. Results Cost-effectiveness results were driven by the assumed impact of PCT testing on mortality although the confidence/credible intervals for ADAPT-Sepsis and the meta-analyzed data both included no effect. Within ADAPT-Sepsis, the use of PCT tests cost €427 more per patient and was associated with a small QALY loss (0.001), which suggests the daily PCT-guided protocol is dominated. Using meta-analyzed data, the daily PCT-guided protocol was assumed to cost €330 more per patient but was associated with 0.139 more QALYs, resulting in a cost per QALY gained of €2384. If only antibiotic use and PCT tests were assumed to differ then PCT testing is estimated to cost no more than €110 per patient with QALYs equal in both arms regardless of whether ADAPT-Sepsis or meta-analyzed data were used. Conclusions This economic analysis has shown that a PCT-guided protocol to guide the duration of antibiotic treatment could be cost-effective. Where only differences in antibiotic use and PCT testing are assumed, the increased costs per patient are modest which may be seen as worthwhile to safely improve antibiotic stewardship for critically ill adult patients with sepsis
