Melissa Tancredi and Rhian Wilkinson were pillars of the Team Canada for nearly two decades. Together, they've lived the highs and lows of the women's national soccer program - from the awe of their first Games in Beijing 2008, the heartbreak and redemption in London 2012, and finally, solidifying Canada's reputation as a soccer world power in Rio 2016. It's been a rollercoaster they'd ride over and over again.

FOOTBALLERS are performers, we all know that. But can they tackle a film script? Can they find the head space to turn out a tricky line on a crowded set? And what of football managers? Can they take to acting? We’ve long believed them to have the ego of an oligarch and to make the demands of a dictator. Does any of this suggest those born to kick balls around a park can turn their hand to thespianism?

Rudy Gay's Flight 22 Foundation is partnering with ed-tech company EverFi to teach students how to create a successful business.

Pertussis is a poorly controlled vaccine-preventable disease. Verifying outbreaks is challenging owing to nonspecific clinical presentations and imperfect diagnostic tests. Exclusive reliance on highly sensitive polymerase chain reaction has been associated with pseudo-outbreaks.

Contamination of specimens with vaccine derived Bordetella pertussis DNA from pediatric clinic surfaces likely resulted in misdiagnoses. Standard practices, liquid transport medium, and lack of polymerase chain reaction cutoffs for discerning weakly positive (contaminant) DNA are contributory, but modifiable factors.

Mumps outbreaks continue to occur among unvaccinated and highly vaccinated populations. In highly vaccinated populations, options for outbreak control are limited. No previous study has documented the impact of a third measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine dose on a mumps outbreak.

Our study assessed the use of a third MMR vaccine dose for mumps outbreak control in a setting with preexisting high 2-dose vaccine coverage. The findings suggest a potential role of MMR vaccine for outbreak control in such limited settings. (Read the full article)

Although amphibians are known Salmonella carriers, aquatic African dwarf frogs are specifically marketed toward children, who are especially vulnerable to Salmonella infections. Both direct animal contact and indirect contact with animal habitats can lead to human Salmonella infections.

This is the first reported outbreak of human Salmonella infections associated with African dwarf frogs, particularly among young children. Parents should be aware of the risk of Salmonella infections from both direct and indirect animal contact. Pediatricians should regularly inquire about animal contact and advise families about risks.

Coxsackievirus A6 (CVA6) was identified as an important cause of "severe" hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) during the 2011–2012 outbreak in North America. The atypical cutaneous features in this outbreak have not been well documented.

The cutaneous manifestations of CVA6-associated HFMD may be more extensive and variable than classic HFMD. Four distinct morphologies characterize this exanthem: (1) widespread vesiculobullous and erosive lesions, (2) "eczema coxsackium," (3) an eruption similar to Gianotti-Crosti, and (4) purpuric lesions.

Recent concussion research has examined the role of impact location (ie, the area on the head to which impact occurred); however, no studies exist regarding impact location’s association with concussion outcomes (eg, symptomatology, symptom resolution time, return to play).

This study is the first to examine the association of impact location and concussion outcomes in young athletes. Our findings suggest that impact location, as assessed by sideline observers/player report, is likely of little use in predicting clinical outcomes. (Read the full article)

Outbreaks of serogroup B meningococcal disease occur at universities and other organizations. Until October 2014, options for control of serogroup B outbreaks were limited by the absence of a licensed vaccine for serogroup B meningococcal disease in the United States.

We describe a serogroup B outbreak at a university in 2013 and the campaign with investigational serogroup B vaccine held in response. This was the first use of a serogroup B vaccine as an outbreak response in the United States. (Read the full article)

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a rare and severe immunologic phenomenon characterized by rash and mucous membrane disease. SJS may be triggered by medications and, less commonly, by infections such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae (Mp). Outbreaks of SJS are exceedingly rare.

We describe the largest SJS outbreak reported in children, which was also Mp-associated. In the first case-control study of this disease, we identify predictors of Mp-associated SJS versus non–Mp-associated SJS, including fewer skin lesions, pneumonia, and elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
