Immunogenicity of partial doses of live oral cholera vaccine CVD 103-HgR in children in the United States
Vaccine. 2023 Mar 21:S0264-410X(23)00260-8. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.03.013. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn a phase 4, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multi-center study performed to assess the immunogenicity of a single oral dose of live, attenuated cholera vaccine, volunteers aged 2-17 years were randomized 6:1 to receive 1 × 109 colony forming units of PXVX0200 or placebo. In the subset of subjects who consumed < 80 % of the vaccine dose, seroconversion rates were calculated and stratified by amount consumed. Of 468 subjects dosed, a subset of 33 (7 %) received < 80 % of the vaccine dose. SVA seroconversio...

Decussating axons segregate within the anterior core of the primate optic chiasm
Conclusions A distinct, central compartment located within the anterior two-thirds of the optic chiasm contains only crossing fibres. Sellar tumours focus their compressive force on this portion of the structure, explaining why they so often produce visual field loss in the temporal fields.

Resistance of Vibrio cholera to antibiotics that inhibit cell wall synthesis: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Discussion: Aztreonam, cefepime, and imipenem are the most efficient V. cholera cell wall synthesis inhibitors. There has been an increase in resistance to antibiotics such as cephalothin, ceftriaxone, amoxicillin, and meropenem. Over the years, resistance to penicillin, ceftazidime, and cefotaxime, has decreased. (Source: Frontiers in Pharmacology)

A retrospective analysis of serological & amp; molecular testing data on dengue fever in Kolkata & amp; adjacent districts during 2016-2019
CONCLUSIONS: Dengue continues to be an important cause of AFI in the region and round-the-year preventive measures are required for its control. Serotype switching is alarming and should be monitored routinely.PMID:36926776 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.IJMR_2612_19 (Source: The Indian Journal of Medical Research)

A Molecular and Epidemiological Study of Cholera Outbreak in Sulaymaniyah Province, Iraq, in 2022
In this study, we conducted a molecular and epidemiological study of the recent outbreak in the city of Sulaymaniyah in Iraq. Based on the bacteriological, serological, and molecular identification of the bacterium, it was shown that V. cholerae O1 serotype Ogawa caused the disease. Additionally, the number of positive cholera cases were higher in June compared to July (391 positive cases in June and 23 in July). Moreover, the majority (> 60%) of the cholera cases were recorded among 20-44-year-old people in both months; however, there was no significant difference in the patient genders diagnosed every month. Overall, ...
