Poliomyelitis is an acute paralytic disease caused by three poliovirus (PV) serotypes.Less than 1% of PV infections result in flaccid paralysis.The was controlled using the formalin-inactivated Salk polio vaccine (IPV) and Sabin oral (OPV).Global poliomyelitis eradication proposed 1988 World Health Organization to its member states.The strategic plan established activities required for eradication, certification regions, OPV cessation phase post-OPV phase.OPV choice program because it...
To assess the total systemic antiviral use in Europe and to identify substances most commonly used. Within European Surveillance of Antimicrobial Consumption (ESAC; www.esac.ua.ac.be), using anatomical therapeutic chemical (ATC) classification defined daily dose (DDD) measurement unit, data on (out- inpatient) (ATC J05), aggregated at level active substance, were collected for 2008, was expressed DDD (WHO ATC/DDD, version 2010) per 1000 inhabitants day (DID). Antiviral grouped according...
In 2018, an upsurge in echovirus 30 (E30) infections was reported Europe. We conducted a large-scale epidemiologic and evolutionary study of 1,329 E30 strains collected 22 countries Europe during 2016-2018. Most cases affected persons 0-4 years age (29%) 25-34 (27%). Sequences were divided into 6 genetic clades (G1-G6). (53%) sequences belonged to G1, followed by G6 (23%), G2 (17%), G4 (4%), G3 (0.3%), G5 (0.2%). Each clade encompassed unique individual recombinant forms; G1 displayed >2...
Introduction A quarter of patients with involuntary weight loss (IWL) have cancer. Inflammation and anemia are associated cancer, recent studies showed that red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a predictor mortality, including cancer-related death. The aim this study was to assess the ability routine hematological inflammation parameters diagnose cancer in IWL. Materials Methods total 253 consecutive IWL admitted secondary care university hospital were included. Routine inflammatory...
Background Many patients who have involuntary weight loss cancer. The Hernandez prediction rule includes 5 variables (elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase and lactate dehydrogenase, low albumin, high white blood cell count, age >80 years). purpose this study was to evaluate the validity rule. Methods We prospectively evaluated 290 consecutive inpatients outpatients had loss. Clinical, hematologic, biochemical parameters were determined. There 259 follow-up at 6 months determine cause...
The place of non-criteria antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) in the diagnosis syndrome (APS) is still debatable. aim this research was to evaluate correlations between titres aPLs (anti-phosphatidylethanolamine (aPE), anti-phosphatidylserine (aPS), and anti-prothrombin (aPT) antibodies), ones already studied criteria (anti-cardiolipin (aCL) anti-β2 glycoprotein I-aβ2GPI antibodies). Altogether, 72 APS (30 primary 42 secondary) patients were included our study. High correlation coefficients...
Non-polio enteroviruses (NPEV) cause significant disease worldwide. Population-based sero-surveillance, by measuring antibodies against specific NPEV types, provides additional information on past circulation and the prediction for future upsurges. Virus neutralisation assays (VNA), current method of choice type antibodies, are not entirely standardised. Via European Non-Polio Enterovirus Network, we organised a VNA quality assessment in which twelve laboratories participated. We provided...
The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is one of the most encountered autoimmunity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and pathogenesis these two seems to be intricate.To investigate association antibodies (APLAs) titer with presence secondary APS diagnosis SLE patients.65 fulfilling 2012 Systemic Lupus Collaborating International Clinics (SLICC) SLE's criteria were included. was sustained according 2006 Sydney APS's criteria. Three groups defined: APS, history positive "criteria"...
Abstract Backgroud. Which factors determine venous thrombotic events in some antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) patients and arterial thrombosis or conditions related to pregnancy others has not been established yet. Purpose. The aim of this study was search the antibodies (APLAs) correlates regard deep vein (DVT) with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) APS. Methods. Twenty-nine fulfilling criteria both SLE APS were included. Complete anamnesis clinical examination performed on inclusion. Also,...
Introduction The patients with antiphospholipid syndrome ( APS ) associate an increased risk of atherosclerosis. Objective To determine the predictors abnormal ankle‐brachial index ABI ), surrogate measure atherosclerosis, in . Methods was measured according to standard recommendations 106 patients. Traditional cardiovascular factors were assessed all cases. A large spectrum antibodies determined 73 Results total diagnosed included. 28.3% included found have low Anti‐beta 2‐glycoprotein I...
The measurement of the enterovirus and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in sewage water is relevant early detection introduction or disappearance these viruses ecosystem. We evaluated co-circulation enteroviruses SARS-CoV-2 81 samples collected between September 2021 April 2023 from different regions north southeast Romania, at border with Ukraine. used, for molecular pathogens, multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay produced Respiratory 2.1...
Background Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), and IL-6 may be associated with involuntary weight loss in patients without cancer. However, results of previous studies have been conflicting. We evaluated who had to determine cytokine levels the correlation these cytokines loss, association inflammation, potential for use cancer diagnosis. Materials Methods In 290 consecutive (74 [26%] 216 [74%] cancer), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), serum C-reactive protein,...
