LockBit threatens to leak confidential info stolen from California's beancounters
Officials in the US state did not go into much detail about the affair other than to confirm there had been a"cybersecurity incident." The California Cybersecurity Integration Center said it is"actively responding" to an intrusion into the Finance Department's IT network.The security breach was"proactively identified" through a coordinated state and federal effort, according to a.
The response team includes the Governor's Office of Emergency Services, Department of Technology, California Military Department and California Highway Patrol. "While we cannot comment on specifics of the ongoing investigation, we can share that no state funds have been compromised, and the Department of Finance is continuing its work to prepare the Governor's Budget that will be released next month," the statement said.
A spokesperson for the Governor's Office of Emergency Services declined to share any other details about the intrusion or to confirm LockBit's claims.

Mortality risk following non-fatal injuries with alcohol use disorder involvement: A one-year follow-up of emergency department patients using linked administrative dataObjective: Patient presentations to the emergency department (ED) for alcohol-involved injury represent a growing public health burden, but their characteristics and sequelae remain understudied. This study examined mortality rates among ED patients presenting with alcohol-involved injuries, and assessed how mortality varied by injury intent and other characteristics. Method: This retrospective cohort study used statewide, longitudinally-linked ED patient record and mortality data from California. Participants comprised all residents presenting to a licensed ED in 2009- 2012 with a nonfatal injury that involved comorbid diagnosis of alcohol use disorder (AUD; n=261,222; 59.3% male). Injury intent was defined using International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision external cause-of-injury codes. Cox regression was used to investigate factors associated with 12-month all-cause mortality rates. Age-, sex-, and race/ethnicity-adjusted standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) were calculated using statewide mortality data. Results: Most ED injury visits involving an AUD diagnosis were coded as unintentional (75.9%). Following the index ED visit, all-cause mortality among AUD-involved injury patients was 5,205 per 100,000 person-years, five times higher than the demographically matched population (SMR: 5.3; 95% CI: 5.2, 5.4). Adjusted Cox regression models indicated that patients whose index injury was unintentional, and whose AUD was for acute intoxication, had significantly higher mortality. Most deaths among unintentionally-injured patients were from natural causes, while external-cause deaths were relatively more common in the other patient groups. Conclusions: Conclusions. AUD-involved injury presentations to the ED in California USA are common and associated with high patient mortality burden, which varies by injury intent. Interventions are needed to reduce excess mortality in these patients.

Cultivation-independent genomes greatly expand taxonomic-profiling capabilities of mOTUs across various environments - MicrobiomeBackground Taxonomic profiling is a fundamental task in microbiome research that aims to detect and quantify the relative abundance of microorganisms in biological samples. Available methods using shotgun metagenomic data generally depend on the deposition of sequenced and taxonomically annotated genomes, usually from cultures of isolated strains, in reference databases (reference genomes). However, the majority of microorganisms have not been cultured yet. Thus, a substantial fraction of microbial community members remains unaccounted for during taxonomic profiling, particularly in samples from underexplored environments. To address this issue, we developed the mOTU profiler, a tool that enables reference genome-independent species-level profiling of metagenomes. As such, it supports the identification and quantification of both “known” and “unknown” species based on a set of select marker genes. Results We present mOTUs3, a command line tool that enables the profiling of metagenomes for |33,000 species-level operational taxonomic units. To achieve this, we leveraged the reconstruction of |600,000 draft genomes, most of which are metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs), from diverse microbiomes, including soil, freshwater systems, and the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants and other animals, which we found to be underrepresented by reference genomes. Overall, two thirds of all species-level taxa lacked a reference genome. The cumulative relative abundance of these newly included taxa was low in well-studied microbiomes, such as the human body sites (6–11%). By contrast, they accounted for substantial proportions (ocean, freshwater, soil: 43–63%) or even the majority (pig, fish, cattle: 60–80%) of the relative abundance across diverse non-human-associated microbiomes. Using community-developed benchmarks and datasets, we found mOTUs3 to be more accurate than other methods and to be more congruent with 16S rRNA gene-based methods for taxonomic profiling. Furthermore, we

The relationship between work disability and subsequent suicide or self-harm: A scoping reviewWork disability occurs when an injury or illness limits the ability of a worker to participate in employment. While evidence suggests that people with work disability are at increased risk of suicide and intentional self-harm, this relationship has not been the subject of systematic review. This scoping review aims to assess and summarise the research literature regarding the relationship between work disability and subsequent suicide or intentional self-harm. Review protocol was published on the Open Science Foundation and is reported using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. Peer-reviewed studies published in English from 1st January 2000 were included if they reported suicide or self-harm outcomes in people aged 15 years or older with work disability. Studies were identified via systematic search of Medline, Scopus and Pubmed databases, via recommendation from topic experts, and citation searching of included articles. A narrative synthesis was undertaken. Literature search yielded 859 records of which 47 eligible studies were included, nine set in workers’ compensation, 20 in sickness absence, 13 in disability pension systems, and five from mixed cohorts. Of 44 quantitative studies, 41 reported a positive relationship between work disability and suicidal behaviour. The relationship is observed consistently across nations, work disability income support systems and health conditions. Several factors elevate risk of suicidal behaviour, including presence of mental health conditions and longer work disability duration. There were few studies in some nations and no suicide prevention interventions. The risk of suicide and self-harm is elevated in people experiencing work disability. Further observational research is required to fill evidence gaps. This review suggests the need for governments, employers and those involved in the care of people with work disability to focus on identification and monito
