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...

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

Case Report: Outbreak of Nosocomial Myiasis by Cochliomyia macellaria (Diptera, Calliphoridae) in a Hospital in Colima, Mexico
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2023 Sep 11:tpmd220225. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.22-0225. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMyiasis in humans is a disease caused by larvae of various fly families. It mainly occurs in communities with poor sanitation and low socioeconomic status. Meanwhile intrahospital or nosocomial myiasis represents a rare phenomenon but is of relevance to public health. Here, we report an outbreak of myiasis caused by Cochliomyia macellaria in five patients hospitalized for several diseases at the Service of Internal Medicine of the Hospital Regional Universitario de Colima, Mexico during June and July 2021. Three patients we...

Clinical, Virological, and Immunological Features in Cosmopolitan Genotype DENV-2-Infected Patients during a Large Dengue Outbreak in Sri Lanka in 2017
In this study, we characterized the DENV-2 cosmopolitan genotype from patients during this epidemic. Also, we identified host factors that contributed to the severity of dengue infection in patients infected with this particular virus. Ninety-one acute serum samples from patients at the National Hospital in Kandy were randomly selected. Of these, 40.2% and 48.9% were positive for dengue IgM and IgG, respectively. NS1 antigen levels were significantly higher in primary infections. The severe dengue (SD) and dengue with warning signs (DWWS) groups exhibited significantly higher viral genome and infectivity titers than the de...

Analytical tool for COVID-19 using an SIR model equivalent to the chain reaction equation of infection
Biosystems. 2023 Sep 8:105029. doi: 10.1016/j.biosystems.2023.105029. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInsights from data analysis of existing cases are important to prevent future outbreaks of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Although mathematical models are expected to be useful for this purpose, the adequacy of reproducibility of these models is difficult to confirm because they are based on hypotheses. For example, using the time variation of the parameter of the basic reproduction number for the time variation of complex data on the number of infected persons is a change of expression and does not capture the substan...

Markers of community outbreak and facility type for mitigation of COVID-19 in long-term care homes in Ontario, Canada: insights and implications from a time-series analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The association between the risk of COVID-19 in the health region and the deaths among LTCH residents, and the delay between fatality among individuals residing outside and inside LTCHs suggests that fatality in a health region could be a predictor of outbreak in LTCHs within the same health region.PMID:37690739 | DOI:10.1016/j.annepidem.2023.08.005

Circulation of Respiratory Viruses in the City: Towards an Agent-Based Ecosystem model
Bull Math Biol. 2023 Sep 10;85(10):100. doi: 10.1007/s11538-023-01203-x.ABSTRACTMathematical models play an important role in management of outbreaks of acute respiratory infections (ARI). While such models are generally used to study the spread of a solitary virus, in reality multiple viruses co-circulate in the population. These viruses have been studied in detail, including the course of infection and immune defense mechanisms. We developed an agent-based model, called ABM-ARI, assimilating heterogeneous data and theoretical knowledge into a biologically motivated system, that allows to reproduce the seasonal patterns o...
