Surveillance To Track Progress Toward Polio Eradication - Worldwide, 2022-2023
MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2024 Apr 4;73(13):278-285. doi: 10.15585/mmwr.mm7313a1.ABSTRACTThe reliable and timely detection of poliovirus cases through surveillance for acute flaccid paralysis (AFP), supplemented by environmental surveillance of sewage samples, is a critical component of the polio eradication program. Since 1988, the number of polio cases caused by wild poliovirus (WPV) has declined by >99.9%, and eradication of WPV serotypes 2 and 3 has been certified; only serotype 1 (WPV1) continues to circulate, and transmission remains endemic in Afghanistan and Pakistan. This surveillance update evaluated indicato...

Maintaining the Region of the Americas free of polio: best practices for incident management support teams
Rev Panam Salud Publica. 2024 Apr 1;48:e23. doi: 10.26633/RPSP.2024.23. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTThe Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and its Member States have been leading the efforts to eradicate wild poliovirus in the Region of Americas since smallpox's successful elimination in 1971. The region became the first to be certified free of wild poliovirus in 1994. However, in July 2022, an unvaccinated patient with no recent travel history was diagnosed with poliomyelitis in the United States of America. In response to the emergence of a circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus in the United States, PAHO established t...

Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis, Human Papillomavirus, and microRNA
CONCLUSION: This finding suggests that in cases where individuals receiving HPV vaccination experience psychiatric or neurological symptoms, it should be considered to diagnose anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, given the exclusion of other possible complications.PMID:38549528 | DOI:10.2174/0109298673264615231124072130 (Source: Current Medicinal Chemistry)

A history of home mechanical ventilation: The past, present and future
Chron Respir Dis. 2024 Jan-Dec;21:14799731241240776. doi: 10.1177/14799731241240776.ABSTRACTThis state-of-the-art review provides an overview of the history of home mechanical ventilation (HMV), including early descriptions of mechanical ventilation from ancient and Renaissance perspectives and the mass development of ventilators designed for long-term use during the poliomyelitis epidemic. Seminal data from key clinical trials supports the application of HMV in certain patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, neuromuscular disease and obesity-related respiratory failure. Innovative engineering coupled with ref...

Two-year course of walking adaptability in persons living with late effects of polio
CONCLUSION: Walking adaptability did not change in persons with late effects of polio over 2 years, and walking adaptability course did not differ between subgroups stratified for walking adaptability determinants, except for balance. Since falls are a major problem among persons with late effects of polio, future studies should investigate whether walking adaptability declines over a longer time and which persons are most at risk.PMID:38497608 | DOI:10.2340/jrm.v56.14727 (Source: Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine)
