Continuity of key water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure WASH practices—for example, hand hygiene—are among several critical community preventive mitigation measures to reduce transmission infectious diseases, including COVID-19 other respiratory diseases. guidance for prevention may combine existing standards new guidance. Many tools can also be modified targeted assessments during the pandemic. We partnered with local organizations develop deploy assess conditions practices...
ABSTRACT The World Health Organization recommends healthcare workers (HCWs) practice hand hygiene (HH) while providing care. Making alcohol-based rub (ABHR) available at points of care is recommended during times high patient volume, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. In low- and middle-income countries, Belize, there may be limited access to HH materials within facilities. This paper examines motivators barriers among HCWs in 11 largest public facilities Belize HCWs' experiences with an...
Introduction: Many patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) present vocal cord paralysis. Patients BRAF-mutated ATC have been shown to rapid and dramatic responses BRAF/MEK inhibitor immunotherapy.1–5 These associated recovery of function, as has recently reported in a multi-institutional case series the literature.6 Herein we demonstrate pre- post-treatment positron emission tomography (PET) scans video laryngoscopies who had nerve function after treatment immunotherapy. Methods: We...
ABSTRACT. In January 2020, we instituted acute febrile illness surveillance in 11 hospitals and clinics across Belize. Within 3 months, diagnosed an case of Chagas disease by polymerase chain reaction a 7-year-old child the northern part country. Phylogenetic analyses parasite from blood specimen revealed multiclonal Trypanosoma cruzi infection, including parasites TcII (25.0% haplotypes), TcIV (2.5% TcV (72.5% haplotypes) discrete typing units. The family reported no history travel, three...
Although case reports have suggested an association between severe acute respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus 2 and appendicitis, we found that the overall incidence of appendicitis was stable throughout pandemic at our tertiary pediatric hospital. Furthermore, did not find evidence CoV2 infection in 9 tissues. Therefore, conclude appendix is a common etiologic cause appendicitis.
COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, is a highly pathogenic emerging infectious disease. Healthcare personnel (HCP) are presumably at higher risk of acquiring infections because occupational exposure. The prevalence COVID-19 in HCP unknown, particularly low- to middle-income countries like El Salvador. goal this study was determine seroprevalence anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies among Salvador just prior vaccine rollout March 2021. We evaluated 2176 participants from nationally representative...
