Increased risk of brucellosis misdiagnosis in regions that lose their endemicity
Trop Biomed. 2023 Mar 1;40(1):76-79. doi: 10.47665/tb.40.1.014.ABSTRACTOver the last decades, the epidemiology of human brucellosis globally has been subjected to significant changes, with the eradication of many existing endemic hot spots. This paper describes three cases with initial misdiagnosis of brucellosis that were managed during 2011-2017 in Republic of North Macedonia, country that until recently has been declared as endemic region. In spite of the fever, constitutional symptoms, focal disease (spondylitis, pneumonia and orchitis) and previous contact with domestic animals, brucellosis was not initially recognize...

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 6216: Coastal Water Quality Modelling Using E. coli, Meteorological Parameters and Machine Learning Algorithms
In this study, machine learning models were implemented to predict the classification of coastal waters in the region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace (EMT) concerning Escherichia coli (E. coli) concentration and weather variables in the framework of the Directive 2006/7/EC. Six sampling stations of EMT, located on beaches of the regional units of Kavala, Xanthi, Rhodopi, Evros, Thasos and Samothraki, were selected. All 1039 samples were collected from May to September within a 14-year follow-up period (2009–2021). The weather parameters were acquired from nearby meteorological stations. The samples were analy...

P011 Late diagnosis of cystic fibrosis in adulthood in Republic of North Macedonia
Background: In the era of introduced neonatal screening for cystic fibrosis (CF) in many countries, there are still adults who are late diagnosed for cystic fibrosis. Diagnosis of CF is difficult because of the multisystem nature of the disease and it might be misdiagnosed with asthma, bronchiectasis, pancreatitis, cirrhosis, male infertility.

The prevalence and genotype of 21-hydroxylase deficiency in the Croatian Romani population
ConclusionA high prevalence of SW 21-OHD in the Croatian Romani population caused by the homozygous cIVS2-13A/C-G pathological variant was found. In addition to isolation and consanguinity, other possible reasons could be the heterozygous advantage of the CYP21A2 gene pathological variant and the bottleneck effect as a result of the Romani Holocaust in World War II.

HPV Vaccination and Cervical Cancer Screening Policies and Practices in 18 Countries, Territories and Entities across Eastern Europe and Central Asia
CONCLUSIONS: Cervical cancer prevention services in this region are very limited. Achieving the WHO Global Strategy targets by 2030 will require substantial investments in capacity building by international development organisations.PMID:37247301 | DOI:10.31557/APJCP.2023.24.5.1781 (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention)
