A dengue epidemic caused by virus 3 (DENV-3) occurred in Cuba 2001-2002. It included cases of hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome (DHF/DSS). We report neutralizing antibody studies on sera from 54 78 DHF/DSS patients that provide evidence infections occurring the sequence DENV-1 followed DENV-3. No showed infection DENV-2 Some a pattern and then However definitive categorization tertiary was not possible because broadly reactive antibodies, which could have been raised
Varicocele repair is recommended in the presence of a clinical varicocele together with at least one abnormal semen parameter, and male infertility. Unfortunately, up to 50% men who meet criteria for will not see meaningful benefit outcomes despite successful treatment. We developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model predict which from treatment.We identified infertility, varicocele, parameter two large urology centers North America (Miami Toronto) between 2006 2020. collected pre...
The kinetics of three serological markers (IgM, IgA, and IgG) in serum, saliva, urine samples from adult patients with primary or secondary dengue infection were studied.Serum, collected 22 clinical confirmed 3 virus during the outbreak Havana City 2001. They tested by capture IgM (MAC-ELISA), IgA (AAC-ELISA), IgE (EAC-ELISA) IgG ELISA inhibition method (EIM) to detect specific antibodies.Similar observed IgM, antibodies saliva cases compared serum samples, although values lower. No antibody...
To report the clinical, laboratory and sonographic findings in 76 adult cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF).A 3 epidemic occurred Havana City from June 2001 to March 2002. 12,889 were reported, with 81 DHF cases. From this, serologically confirmed studied descriptively.Bronchial asthma white race important risk factors for severe form disease. Fever (100%), headache (92.1%), myalgia (76.3%), arthralgia (73.7%) retro-orbital pain (57.7%) most frequent general symptoms. Vomiting abdominal...
Vibrio cholerae 638 is a living candidate cholera vaccine strain attenuated by deletion of the CTXPhi prophage from C7258 (O1, El Tor Ogawa) and insertion Clostridium thermocellum endoglucanase A gene into hemagglutinin/protease coding sequence. This was previously found to be well tolerated immunogenic in volunteers. article reports randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted test short-term protection conferred against subsequent V. infection disease volunteers Cuba. total...
A prospective observational study was conducted for assessing the therapeutic efficacy of interferon (IFN)-α2b in patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) during first month after disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak began Cuba. From March 11th to April 14th, 814 were confirmed SARS-CoV-2 positive Seven hundred sixty-one (93.4%) treated a combination oral antivirals (lopinavir/ritonavir and chloroquine) intramuscular administration IFN-α2b (Heberon®...
In June 2001, dengue transmission was detected in Havana, Cuba; 12,889 cases were reported. Dengue 3, the etiologic agent of epidemic, caused hemorrhagic fever only adults, with 78 and 3 deaths. After intensive vector control efforts, no new have been detected.
It is widely accepted that most microvascular reconstructive surgeons experience a learning curve. A compilation of 6 series surgery reported in the literature revealed average rate successful free flap transfer rose from 79% to 96% as gained clinical experience.To review collective 3 otolaryngologist-head and neck performing flaps during their first year practice after completion postgraduate training.A multi-institutional retrospective case series.Three academic tertiary care...
ABSTRACT During the dengue virus type 3 (DENV-3) epidemic that occurred in Havana 2001 to 2002, severe disease was associated with infection sequence DENV-1 followed by DENV-3 (DENV-1/DENV-3), while DENV-2/DENV-3 mild/asymptomatic infections. To determine role of increasing severity demonstrated during epidemic, serum samples collected at different time points were studied. A total 22 full-length sequences obtained using a deep-sequencing approach. Bayesian phylogenetic analysis consensus...
A previous report on 814 patients who were coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) positive provided preliminary therapeutic efficacy evidence with interferon-α2b (IFN-α2b) in Cuba, from March 11 to April 14, 2020. This study re-evaluates the effectiveness of IFN-α2b during period June 17, Patients received a combination oral antivirals (lopinavir/ritonavir and chloroquine) intramuscular or subcutaneous administration IFN-α2b. The primary endpoint was proportion discharged hospital; secondary...
Introduction Although women remain vastly underrepresented in urology, the proportion of female urology residents and practicing urologists has steadily increased over last four decades. However, it remains critical to evaluate representation females pipeline when examining trainees urologists. As pertains leadership positions, gender distribution among board directors (BOD) committee chairs American Urological Association (AUA) subspecialties not been studied date. Therefore, we plan...
