Twenty years have passed since the emergence of hantavirus zoonosis in Panama at the beginning of this millennium. We provide an overview of epidemiological surveillance of hantavirus disease (hantavirus pulmonary syndrome and hantavirus fever) during the period 1999-2019 by including all reported and confirmed cases according to the case definition established by the health authority. Our findings reveal that hantavirus disease is a low-frequency disease, affecting primarily young people, with ...[more]

Project description:Active Bacterial Core surveillance (ABCs) was established in 1995 as part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Emerging Infections Program (EIP) network to assess the extent of invasive bacterial infections of public health importance. ABCs is distinctive among surveillance systems because of its large, population-based, geographically diverse catchment area; active laboratory-based identification of cases to ensure complete case capture; detailed collection of epidemiologic information paired with laboratory isolates; infrastructure that allows for more in-depth investigations; and sustained commitment of public health, academic, and clinical partners to maintain the system. ABCs has directly affected public health policies and practices through the development and evaluation of vaccines and other prevention strategies, the monitoring of antimicrobial drug resistance, and the response to public health emergencies and other emerging infections.

Project description:Over the last 20 years, the understanding and natural history of Rett syndrome has advanced, but to date no cure has emerged, with multidisciplinary management being symptomatic and supportive. This study provides a comprehensive review of the clinical features, comorbidities and multidisciplinary management of a well-characterized cohort of females with classical Rett syndrome. We aim to improve awareness and understanding of Rett syndrome amongst pediatricians, pediatric subspecialists and allied health professionals to enable early diagnosis and a streamlined enrolment approach for future clinical trials. Rett syndrome, a complex X-linked condition, affecting mainly females, is due to pathogenic variants of the MECP2 gene in most affected individuals. The Rett syndrome Multidisciplinary Management clinic at The Children's Hospital at Westmead, Sydney, Australia, was established in 2000. This retrospective analysis of individuals who attended the clinic from 2000 to 2020 was performed to identify the incidence and predicted age of onset of Rett syndrome related comorbidities, disease progression and to review management principles. Data collected included age of Rett syndrome diagnosis, MECP2 genotype, clinical features and medical comorbidities, such as sleep disturbance, seizures, breathing irregularities, scoliosis, mobility, hand stereotypies, hand function, constipation, feeding ability, use of gastrostomy, communication skills, QTc prolongation, anthropometry, and bruxism. Analysis of 103 girls who fulfilled the clinical diagnostic criteria for classical Rett syndrome with a pathogenic variant of the MECP2 gene showed a median age of diagnosis of 3 years. The most frequent MECP2 variant was c.502 C>T.

Project description:Describe the epidemiology of tuberculosis in the last two decades (2000-2019) in the East region of Tunisia (city of Sousse). This was a descriptive retrospective analysis of notified incident cases of tuberculosis from 2000 to 2019 in Sousse Governorate, Tunisia. The data collection was done via the regional registry of tuberculosis. Stata software was used to characterize the socio-demographic and clinical profile of tuberculosis, to calculate its incidence, mortality and fatality rates and to determine predictive factors of mortality. R software was used to analyze the chronological trend of tuberculosis incidence and mortality. A total of 2606 incident cases of tuberculosis were declared from 2000 to 2019 in Sousse. The mean age was 39 ± 19 years with a sex ratio (male/female) of 1.19. Only one case was HIV positive among the total 2606 incident cases. Extra-pulmonary tuberculosis was the most recorded (1,534 cases, 58.9%). The mean annual case notification and deaths were 130 and four respectively. After adjusting for confounders, individuals with pulmonary tuberculosis were 1.9 significantly more likely to die from tuberculosis compared to those suffering from extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. There was a trend of increasing mortality with increasing age. The association was statistically significant only for those above 60 years' old who had 12.5 times higher odds of dying compared to those below 60 years. After adjusting for age and gender, with every year there was an increase in the total incidence rate (+0.35 per 100,000) with p = 0.005 and in the extra-pulmonary incidence (+0.27 per 100,000), with p = 0.001. This study demonstrated the increasing trend of tuberculosis in Sousse, Tunisia from 2000 to 2019. The national program against tuberculosis should enhance community knowledge and centralize the national and regional epidemiological information for better epidemiological surveillance.

Project description:The clinical characteristics of children diagnosed with Rett syndrome are well described. Survival and how these characteristics persist or change in adulthood are less well documented. This study aimed to describe overall survival and adult health in those with Rett syndrome.Using the Kaplan-Meier method, we estimated survival of individuals registered with the Australian Rett syndrome Database (ARSD) who had been followed for up to 20 years (n?=?396). We then conducted logistic and linear regression analyses investigating epilepsy, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, autonomic dysfunction and behaviour of individuals aged 18 years and over using cross sectional cohorts from the ARSD (n?=?150) and the international database InterRett (n?=?273).The likelihood of survival was 77.6% at 20 years, 71.5% at 25 years and 59.8% at 37 years. The median age of the combined cross-sectional cohort was 25 years (range 18 to 54 years), the majority (71%) were living in their parental home and the remainder being cared for in group homes or other institutions. Just over half walked either independently (18%) or with assistance (43%). The majority (86%) had scoliosis with 40% of those having undergone corrective surgery. Almost two-thirds (64%) of the women were taking anti-epileptic medications at the time of data collection. Constipation was highly prevalent (83%) and many experienced bloating (53%). Biliary dyskinesia, inflammation or infection of the gallbladder was reported for 20 women (5%) and of those 13 had undergone gallbladder surgery. Sleep disturbance was relatively common (63%), and adverse mood events and anxiety were slightly more prevalent in those aged 26-30 years in comparison to the younger and older age groups. Other frequently reported medical conditions included urinary tract infections, pneumonia and other respiratory conditions.Survival in Rett syndrome has now been estimated with the most accurate follow up to date. During adulthood, continuation of multidisciplinary services and programs is necessary to optimise health and wellbeing.

Project description:BackgroundGaucher disease is a rare multi-systemic metabolic disorder resulting from the deficiency of acid β-glucosidase activity, with consequent accumulation of glucocerebroside. Less than 15% of mean normal acid β-glucosidase activity in leukocytes is the gold standard for the diagnosis of Gaucher disease, and is generally supplemented by a massive elevation in chitotriosidase activity. We report here our experience in the biochemical diagnosis of Gaucher disease by showing the heterogeneity of the activity of enzymes over 25 years from 1993-2017, through the analysis of 5128 clinically suspected Gaucher disease cases referred to the Biochemical Genetics Department, National Research Centre, as the main reference lab in Egypt for the diagnosis of Inherited Metabolic Disorders.MethodsAcid β-glucosidase and chitotriosidase activities were measured in all referred cases. Sphinogmylinase activity was estimated for all cases with normal β-glucosidase activity and moderate elevation of chitotriosidase.ResultsOut of the 5128 suspected cases, 882 (17%) showed a deficiency in acid β-glucosidase activity, accompanied by a raised chitotriosidase activity, ranges (213-66700 umol/l/h) and mean (7255 umol/l/h). Deficient chitotriosidase activity was found in 9 patients (1%) with low β-glucosidase. 451 cases were diagnosed with acid sphingomyelinase deficiency patients (8.8%).ConclusionOther biochemical markers are needed in addition to chitotriosidase for the diagnosis and follow up. Molecular testing was done to a relatively small number but needs to be done to all diagnosed patients as many mutations are known to predict the course of the disease.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Cardiac myxomas are the most frequent cardiac tumors. Although histologically benign, in some cases myxomas may be lethal, due to impairment of cardiac dynamics and their thromboembolic potential. The study aimed to assess the clinical presentation of cardiac myxomas and their correlation with echocardiographic features and to describe the perioperative results and long-term outcome of surgically treated patients. METHODS:A prospective study of 53 patients with cardiac myxomas who were operated the Hospital Argerich, followed clinically and with echocardiography from 1993 until 2013. All patients underwent echocardiographic studies. RESULTS:The patient's mean age was 53 ± 16 years (62.3% were women). The most common findings were dyspnea followed by embolic events. Most tumors were localized in the left atrium (77.4%), mainly in the fossa ovalis (63%). Mean size of the tumors was 4.76 x 3.50 cm. Tumors were generally mobile (88%) and went beyond the valve plane, causing mild mitral or tricuspid valve obstruction (58%) and dilation of the respective atrial chamber. Patients whose tumors were obstructive had higher pulmonary artery systolic pressures (50 vs 33 mmHg p < 0.01). According to the echocardiographic appearance 67% of tumors had a smooth surface and the remaining 32% had a villous surface. All patients with embolic manifestations had tumors with a villous surface. CONCLUSIONS:Clinical presentation relates to the ultrasound characteristics of myxomas. Smooth tumors are larger, occur with obstructive symptoms, and benefit from an elective surgery, whereas villous myxomas entailed a high embolic risk and require prompt surgical treatment.

Project description:Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are a group of genetic alterations whose effect is the progressive intralysosomal accumulation of glycosaminoglycans. Affected individuals are deficient in one or more lysosomal enzymes which, depending on the MPS, may cause coarse facial features, short stature, multiple skeletal dysplasia, joint stiffness, or developmental delay. Their diagnosis is mostly performed late or incorrectly, and it represents a challenge since it requires specialized tests only performed in major cities. This makes it difficult for patients to have access to physicians since their geographical location is distant and therefore, the use of samples collected in solid-phase represents an advantage for the study of high-risk populations. In addition, epidemiological information about rare diseases, especially in Latin America, is scarce or inconsistent. Our aim was to report the experience of 20 years of selective screening by assessing enzyme activity and reporting incidence values of MPS in Colombia. This study validated a group of fluorometric endpoint techniques in 8239 patients. The samples were dried blood spots (DBS) collected on filter paper and leukocyte extracts. Reference values in the Colombian population for α-l-iduronidase, iduronate 2-sulfatase, α-N-acetylglucosaminidase, N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase, β-galactosidase, arylsulfatase B, and β-glucuronidase were established in leukocyte extracts, and patients reference ranges were updated in the case of DBS samples. Incidence values were calculated for each MPS and the distribution of cases across the country is also shown. This study offers very useful information for the health system, the scientific community, and it facilitates the diagnosis of these disorders. This is indispensable when seeking to develop new diagnostic or treatment approaches for patients.

Project description:IntroductionNorovirus infection is a common cause of acute gastroenteritis (AGE). Surveillance activities are important to aid investigation into effective norovirus control strategies, including vaccination. Here, we report ancillary findings related to the incidence, prevalence, and etiology of AGE caused by norovirus in Panama after adjustment of study methodology to comply with national coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mandates.MethodsIn January 2020, children aged <2 years began enrolling into an epidemiological study in Panama to estimate the burden of norovirus in preparation for evaluating upcoming prevention strategies. This included an observational, longitudinal, community-based AGE surveillance study and a hospital-based AGE surveillance study. For the longitudinal study, healthy children aged 5-18 months were enrolled from January 6 through March 23, 2020, with a follow-up of approximately 6 months. The last participant was contacted on September 23, 2020. For the hospital-based study, starting on January 21, 2020, children aged <2 years who were admitted to the Hospital del Niño Dr. José Renán Esquivel in Panama City due to AGE were evaluated. The last sample was collected on September 29, 2020. Collected stool samples were tested for norovirus as well as astrovirus, sapovirus, and various enteropathogens. Unfortunately, this study was disrupted by the subsequent implementation of disease transmission control procedures for the COVID-19 pandemic, and the study methodology was revised to comply with COVID-19 mandates.ResultsIn the longitudinal surveillance cohort [N = 400 (Chiriquí, n = 239; Panama, n = 161)], a total of 185 AGE episodes were documented (Chiriquí, n = 85; Panama, n = 100) resulting in an overall AGE incidence of 11.6 (95% CI: 9.99-13.4) episodes per 100 child-months. The norovirus-related AGE incidence was 0.3 (95% CI: 0.10-0.73) episodes per 100 child-months (5/185 AGE episodes) and the prevalence of norovirus was 4.6% (13/282 stool samples collected). In the hospital-based surveillance cohort, at least one pathogen was detected in 50% of samples (44/88 stool samples collected) and norovirus prevalence was 6.8% (6/88 stool samples collected).DiscussionThis report demonstrates how the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic hindered the conduct of clinical trials. However, this also created unique research opportunities to investigate the potential impact of pandemic control measures on the etiology of infectious diarrheal disease.

Project description:SummaryIn Germany, active bat rabies surveillance was conducted between 1993 and 2012. A total of 4546 oropharyngeal swab samples from 18 bat species were screened for the presence of EBLV-1- , EBLV-2- and BBLV-specific RNA. Overall, 0·15% of oropharyngeal swab samples tested EBLV-1 positive, with the majority originating from Eptesicus serotinus. Interestingly, out of seven RT-PCR-positive oropharyngeal swabs subjected to virus isolation, viable virus was isolated from a single serotine bat (E. serotinus). Additionally, about 1226 blood samples were tested serologically, and varying virus neutralizing antibody titres were found in at least eight different bat species. The detection of viral RNA and seroconversion in repeatedly sampled serotine bats indicates long-term circulation of the virus in a particular bat colony. The limitations of random-based active bat rabies surveillance over passive bat rabies surveillance and its possible application of targeted approaches for future research activities on bat lyssavirus dynamics and maintenance are discussed.

Project description:About two decades ago, cloning of the autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene materialized one of the most important actors on the scene of self-tolerance. Thymic transcription of genes encoding tissue-specific antigens (ts-ags) is activated by AIRE protein and embodies the essence of thymic self-representation. Pathogenic AIRE variants cause the autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1, which is a rare and complex disease that is gaining attention in research on autoimmunity. The animal models of disease, although not identically reproducing the human picture, supply fundamental information on mechanisms and extent of AIRE action: thanks to its multidomain structure, AIRE localizes to chromatin enclosing the target genes, binds to histones, and offers an anchorage to multimolecular complexes involved in initiation and post-initiation events of gene transcription. In addition, AIRE enhances mRNA diversity by favoring alternative mRNA splicing. Once synthesized, ts-ags are presented to, and cause deletion of the self-reactive thymocyte clones. However, AIRE function is not restricted to the activation of gene transcription. AIRE would control presentation and transfer of self-antigens for thymic cellular interplay: such mechanism is aimed at increasing the likelihood of engagement of the thymocytes that carry the corresponding T-cell receptors. Another fundamental role of AIRE in promoting self-tolerance is related to the development of thymocyte anergy, as thymic self-representation shapes at the same time the repertoire of regulatory T cells. Finally, AIRE seems to replicate its action in the secondary lymphoid organs, albeit the cell lineage detaining such property has not been fully characterized. Delineation of AIRE functions adds interesting data to the knowledge of the mechanisms of self-tolerance and introduces exciting perspectives of therapeutic interventions against the related diseases.
