Antimicrobial Resistance Microbiological Dataset (ARMD-UTSW): A deidentified collection of electronic health records, from a quaternary, academic medical center, for antimicrobial resistance research
(2025-09-26) Cooper, Lauren N.; Medford, Richard J.; Hanna, John J.
Antibiotic resistance is a global public health emergency, but quality, real world, EHR based data sets that can be utilized for antibiotic resistance research are limited.  We have developed the Antibiotic Resistance Microbiology Dataset: UTSW (ARMD: UTSW) which includes microbiological culture testing and susceptibility results for 237,258 patients at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW) from 2005-2025.  Longitudinal demographics, prior medical histories, medications, procedures, and clinical specific information such as testing locations and recent laboratory values are also incorporated into the deidentified data set.  With the standardization of data values and careful deidentification of the ARMD: UTSW data set, researchers globally will be able to improve patient outcomes, increase awareness, and add to the collective knowledge regarding antibiotic resistance.
Using light traps to assess larval fish and octopus paralarvae diversity and ontogenetic structure around Santa Catalina Island, CA
(2025-09-09) Dale, Katherine
Monitoring planktonic larvae is important for understanding changes in recruitment, range shifts, and reproductive behavior. Here, we used light traps to examine the abundance, community diversity, and ontogenetic structure of ichthyoplankton and octopus paralarvae at three sites around Santa Catalina Island, California, USA across two seasons between 2018 and 2019. We identified 15,919 fish larvae and 205 octopus paralarvae using morphology supplemented by DNA barcoding. We found no differences in larval fish diversity or abundance between years or seasons. All octopus paralarvae were captured in the summer and were identified as Octopus bimaculatus. Cryptic substrate-associated fishes dominated samples, especially those from suborder Blennioidei and family Gobiidae. We conclude that light traps can be a valuable tool and useful supplement to other zooplankton sampling methods, especially in providing a more complete assessment of nearshore plankton communities and taxa which have been poorly represented in traditional, offshore monitoring programs. They may be particularly useful for studying cryptic and substrate-associated species whose larvae are often poorly described in the existing identification literature.
