Management Quality of Surgical Instrument and Influence of Cleaning and Sterilization on the Surgical Outcomes of the Patient: A Review
Altern Ther Health Med. 2023 Sep 15:AT8850. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWhen a medical device or surgical instrument comes into contact with the patient's sterile tissue or mucous membrane during the various processes, the risk of introducing infections into the patient's body increases. Furthermore, an infection may be transmitted from one patient to another, from a patient to a member of the medical staff and vice versa or from the environment to the patient via improperly sterilized or disinfected equipment. A number of outbreaks and diseases have been documented in the hospital setting as a result of poorly sanitized...

Wastewater Surveillance Data as a Complement to Emergency Department Visit Data for Tracking Incidence of Influenza A and Respiratory Syncytial Virus - Wisconsin, August 2022-March 2023
MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2023 Sep 15;72(37):1005-1009. doi: 10.15585/mmwr.mm7237a2.ABSTRACTWastewater surveillance has been used to assist public health authorities in tracking local transmission of SARS-CoV-2. The usefulness of wastewater surveillance to track community spread of other respiratory pathogens, including influenza virus and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), is less clear. During the 2022-23 respiratory diseases season, concentrations of influenza A virus and RSV in wastewater samples in three major Wisconsin cities were compared with emergency department (ED) visits associated with these pathogens. In all...

Preliminary results on an autochthonous dengue outbreak in Lombardy Region, Italy, August 2023
Euro Surveill. 2023 Sep;28(37). doi: 10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2023.28.37.2300471.ABSTRACTIn August 2023, six locally acquired dengue virus 1 infections were detected in Lodi province, Lombardy Region, in northern Italy, where the vector Aedes albopictus is present. Four cases were hospitalised, none died. The viruses clustered with Peruvian and Brazilian strains collected between 2021 and 2023. This preliminary report highlights the importance of continued integrated surveillance of imported vector-borne virus infections and the potential for tropical disease outbreaks in highly populated regions of northern Italy where compet...

Context Matters: Patterns in Physical Distancing Behavior Across Situations and Over Time During the Covid-19 Pandemic in the Netherlands
CONCLUSIONS: Physical and social context matters for physical distancing, highlighting the importance of developing strategies for pandemic preparedness that improve opportunities for physical distancing (e.g., reducing crowding, one-way traffic) and accommodate young people to safely meet even in times of high pandemic severity and lockdowns. Future studies should account for the physical and social context in which distancing behavior is observed.PMID:37708324 | DOI:10.1093/abm/kaad053

Congenital Mpox Syndrome (Clade I) in Stillborn Fetus after Placental Infection and Intrauterine Transmission, Democratic Republic of the Congo, 2008
We report the autopsy pathology findings of a 21-week stillborn fetus with congenital mpox syndrome that occurred in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2008. The fetus acquired mpox from the mother after intrauterine transplacental monkeypox virus transmission. We confirmed monkeypox virus infection in the mother, fetus, and placenta by using a monkeypox virus-specific quantitative PCR. Subtyping of the virus was not performed, but the mother and fetus were almost certainly infected with the clade I variant that was endemic in the Democratic Republic of the Congo at the time. Risk for intrauterine infection appears to...

Emergence of Marburg virus: a global perspective on fatal outbreaks and clinical challenges
The Marburg virus (MV), identified in 1967, has caused deadly outbreaks worldwide, the mortality rate of Marburg virus disease (MVD) varies depending on the outbreak and virus strain, but the average case fatality rate is around 50%. However, case fatality rates have varied from 24 to 88% in past outbreaks depending on virus strain and case management. Designated a priority pathogen by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), MV induces hemorrhagic fever, organ failure, and coagulation issues in both humans and non-human primates. This review presents an extensive exploration of MVD outbreak evolu...

Burdening Perspectives and Treatment Modalities of Monkeypox: A Central Dogma
Infect Disord Drug Targets. 2023 Aug 25. doi: 10.2174/1871526523666230825164222. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe monkeypox virus (MPXV), belonging to the genus Orthopoxvirus, is responsible for causing the zoonotic illness known as Monkeypox. The virus was initially identified during an outbreak at a Danish Zoo in 1958 and has since been found to infect various mammal species worldwide. While African squirrels and other rodents are believed to be the primary hosts, determining the natural host has proven challenging. While MPXV can be studied using different animal models in laboratory settings, understanding its natural...

Overcoming clinical challenges in the management of invasive fungal infections in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC)
Expert Rev Anti Infect Ther. 2023 Sep 12. doi: 10.1080/14787210.2023.2257895. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: The management of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) in low and middle income countries (LMIC) is a serious challenge due to limited epidemiology studies, sub-optimal laboratory facilities, gap in antifungal management training and resources. Limited studies highlighted distinctive epidemiology of IFIs in those countries, and difficulty in distinguishing from closely related infections. To overcome the gaps for appropriate management of IFIs, innovative approaches are required.AREAS COVERED: Extensive li...

Recombination in sarbecovirus lineage and mutations/insertions in spike protein are linked to the emergence and adaptation of SARS-CoV-2
Bioinformation. 2022 Oct 31;18(10):951-961. doi: 10.6026/97320630018951. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTThe outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Wuhan city, China in December 2019 and thereafter its spillover across the world has created a global pandemic and public health crisis. Right after, there has been intense interest in understanding how the SARS-CoV-2 originated and evolved. This paper also aims to shed light on the origin and evolution of SARS-CoV- 2. A consensus result based on whole genome phylogeny, gene tree analysis, and genetic similarity study revealed that SARS-CoV-2 evolv...

Innovative COVID-19 diagnostics and testing strategies in Italy, Denmark, UK, Israel and Sweden: a comparative analysis including tests, incidence and mortality
In this study, we analyzed the use of these techniques in five countries (i.e. Italy, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Israel) based on their specific national testing and contact tracing strategies. We also examined the number of tests performed per week, the positivity rate of tests, and the mortality rate in these populations during the same time periods. These countries were chosen based on the directives of the consortium involved in the CORONADX project.PMID:37695173 | DOI:10.23750/abm.v94iS3.14565

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on erectile function in Chinese CP/CPPS patients
This study aimed to investigate the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on erectile function in Chinese patients with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS). A retrospective study was conducted on 657 CP/CPPS patients who visited The Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University (Changsha, China) from November 2018 to November 2022. Patients were divided into two groups based on the timeline before and after the COVID-19 outbreak in China. The severity of CP/CPPS, penile erection status, anxiety, and depression was evaluated using the National Institutes of Health-Chronic Pro...
