Pediatric anesthesia in Mongolia and Thailand
CONCLUSION: As a Low- and Middle-Income Country (LMIC) with low population density and extreme weather, the challenges include insufficient equipment, supplies, and clinician numbers, matching few clinicians to many varied patient locations, and covering surgical emergencies over distance and weather. In Thailand, education and training in pediatric anesthesia remain a focus: Pediatric anesthesia is an official subspecialty, the fellowship is accredited, using a competency-based curriculum with milestones of Direct Observation of Procedural Skills and Entrusted Professional Activities. The Bangkok Anesthesia Regional Train...

Global seroprevalence of Zika virus in asymptomatic individuals: A systematic review
Conclusions/SignificanceThe study highlights the high heterogeneity and gaps in the distribution of seroprevalence. The implementation of standardized protocols and the development of tests with high specificity are essential for ensuring a valid comparison between studies. Equally crucial are vector surveillance and control methods to reduce the risk of emerging and re-emerging ZIKV outbreaks, whether caused byAe.aegypti orAe.albopictus or by the Asian or African ZIKV.

Molecular characterization of the nonstructural 5A (NS5A) region of hepatitis C virus in Thai blood donors
In conclusion, NS5A RASs at amino acid positions 30, 62, 54, 58, and 98 are present within HCV genotypes 3a and 1. While keeping in mind that additional information was not available on the anonymous blood donors tested in this study, these findings can contribute to understand the NS5A mutation. Further study with known patients under drug treatment is recommended.PMID:38619622 | DOI:10.1007/s00203-024-03950-4 (Source: Archives of Microbiology)
