Abstract This paper reviews the epidemiology ofHelicobacter pylori(H. Pylori) in adults with intellectual disability (ID) including clinical presentation, risk factors for infection and diseases, and assesses the best options for testing and treatment. It was observed that particular groups of adults with ID have significantly higher rates ofH. pyloriinfection, and possibly disease consequences including peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer, when compared to the general population, although the presentation with typical dyspepsia in people with ID is rare. Identified independent risk factors for infection include a history of institutionalization, lower ability, higher levels of behavior problems, and living with flatmates with oral hypersalivation or fecal incontinence. The presence of ID and the associated biopsychosocial factors necessitate development of adaptations to the usual testing and treatment methods as part of a preventive health strategy in order to relieve occult symptoms, and prevent disease development. Among the available tests, the fecal antigen or serology tests are equally acceptable to adults with ID regardless of their level of disability or behaviors, although only those who function more normally can perform the urea breath test. TheH. pylorieradication rate is lower, with treatment side‐effect and recurrence rates higher, compared to the general population; but, given the evidence that patients with ID carry the infection and associated pathology for long periods, testing and treating those with at‐risk is recommended. While not recommending screening all adults with ID forH. pyloriinfection, the authors provide an overall evidence‐based position statement on whom to test and treat, and how to diagnose and manage this infection, an important cause of preventable disease.

Rumen microbial community composition varies with diet and host, but a core microbiome is found across a wide geographical range
© 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited. Ruminant livestock are important sources of human food and global greenhouse gas emissions. Feed degradation and methane formation by ruminants rely on metabolic interactions between rumen microbes and affect ruminant productivity. Rumen and camelid foregut microbial community composition was determined in 742 samples from 32 animal species and 35 countries, to estimate if this was influenced by diet, host species, or geography. Similar bacteria and archaea dominated in nearly all samples, while protozoal communities were more variable. The dominant bacteria are poorly characterised, but the methanogenic archaea are better known and highly conserved across the world. This universality and limited diversity could make it possible to mitigate methane emissions by developing strategies that target the few dominant methanogens. Differences in microbial community compositions were predominantly attributable to diet, with the host being less influential. There were few strong co-occurrence patterns between microbes, suggesting that major metabolic interactions are non-selective rather than specific. ; We thank Ron Ronimus, Paul Newton, and Christina Moon for reading and commenting on the manuscript.

It provides precise predictions for measurable quantities that can be tested experimentally. The probabilities, or branching fractions, of the strange B meson (B-s(0)) and the B-0 meson decaying into two oppositely charged muons (mu(+) and mu(-)) are especially interesting because of their sensitivity to theories that extend the standard model. The standard model predicts that the B-s(0)->mu(+)mu(-) and B-0 ->mu(+)mu(-) decays are very rare, with about four of the former occurring for every billion B-s(0) mesons produced, and one of the latter occurring for every ten billion B-0 mesons(1). A difference in the observed branching fractions with respect to the predictions of the standard model would provide a direction in which the standard model should be extended. Before the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN2 started operating, no evidence for either decay mode had been found. Upper limits on the branching fractions were an order of magnitude above the standard model predictions. The CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) and LHCb(Large Hadron Collider beauty) collaborations have performed a joint analysis of the data from proton-proton collisions that they collected in 2011 at a centre-of-mass energy of seven teraelectronvolts and in 2012 at eight teraelectronvolts. Here we report the first observation of the B-s(0)->mu(+)mu(-) decay, with a statistical significance exceeding six standard deviations, and the best measurement so far of its branching fraction. Furthermore, we obtained evidence for the B-0 ->mu(+)mu(-) decay with a statistical significance of three standard deviations. Both measurements are statistically compatible with standard model predictions and allow stringent constraints to be placed on theories beyond the standard model. The LHC experiments will resume taking data in 2015, recording proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 teraelectronvolts, which will approximately double the production rates of B-s(0) and B-0 mesons and lead to further improvements in the precision of these crucial tests of the standard model.
