In March 2014, the World Health Organization was notified of an outbreak a communicable disease characterized by fever, severe diarrhea, vomiting, and high fatality rate in Guinea. Virologic investigation identified Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV) as causative agent. Full-length genome sequencing phylogenetic analysis showed that EBOV from Guinea forms separate clade relationship to known strains Democratic Republic Congo Gabon. Epidemiologic linked laboratory-confirmed cases with presumed first...
A neonate born to an Ebola virus-positive woman was diagnosed with virus infection on her first day of life. The patient treated monoclonal antibodies (ZMapp), a buffy coat transfusion from survivor, and the broad-spectrum antiviral GS-5734. On 20, venous blood specimen tested negative for by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. discharged in good health 33 Further follow-up consultations showed age-appropriate weight gain neurodevelopment at age 12 months. This is...
This paper describes patient characteristics, including Ebola viral load, associated with mortality in a Médecins Sans Frontières case management centre (CMC).Out of 780 admissions between June and October 2014, 525 (67%) were positive for known outcome. The crude rate was 51% (270/525). load (whole-blood sample) data available on 76% (397/525) patients. Univariate analysis indicated at admission, age, symptom duration prior to distance traveled the CMC (P < .05). multivariable model...
Background. A unit of the European Mobile Laboratory (EMLab) consortium was deployed to Ebola virus disease (EVD) treatment in Guéckédou, Guinea, from March 2014 through 2015. Methods. The diagnosed EVD and malaria, using RealStar Filovirus Screen reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) kit a malaria rapid diagnostic test, respectively. Results. cleaned EMLab database comprised 4719 samples 2741 cases suspected Guinea. 1231 2178 hospitalized patients (57%) 281 563 who died...
Background. Reliable reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)–based diagnosis of Ebola virus infection currently requires a blood sample obtained by intravenous puncture. During the current outbreak in Guinea, we evaluated usability capillary samples collected from fingersticks patients suspected having disease (EVD) for field diagnostics during an emergency.
Outbreaks of Ebola and Marburg virus diseases have recently increased in frequency Uganda. This increase is probably caused by a combination improved surveillance laboratory capacity, contact between humans the natural reservoir viruses, fluctuations viral load prevalence within this reservoir. The roles these proposed explanations must be investigated order to guide appropriate responses changing epidemiological profile. Other African settings which multiple filoviral outbreaks occurred...
By using data from a 2015 clinical trial on Ebola convalescent-phase plasma in Guinea, we assessed the prevalence of electrolyte and metabolic abnormalities at admission their predictive value to stratify patients into risk groups. Patients underwent testing with point-of-care device. We used logistic regression construct prognostic model summarized area under receiver operating curve. Abnormalities were common among patients, particularly hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, hyponatremia, raised...
Only one recommendation currently exists for the treatment of Lassa fever (LF), which is ribavirin administered in conjunction with supportive care. This primarily based on evidence generated from a single clinical trial that was conducted more than 30 years ago-the methodology and results have recently come under scrutiny. The requirement novel therapeutics reassessment therefore urgent. However, significant amount work now needs to be undertaken ensure future trials LF can consistently...
The capacity to rapidly distinguish Ebola virus disease from other infectious diseases and monitor biochemistry viremia levels is crucial the clinical management of suspected cases. This article describes design practical considerations a laboratory straddling high- low-risk zones an treatment center produce timely diagnostic results for informed case in real-life conditions. innovation may be relevance actors requiring flexible implementation contexts high-communicability, high-lethality outbreaks.
Abstract: Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)/Doctors Without Borders, an International Medical Humanitarian Non Governmental Organization, has experience of 20 years in intervening Viral Hemorrhagic Fever (VHF) Outbreaks (Marburg-, Ebola-, Lassa-fever- outbreaks). Healthcare providers caring for Marburg-, and, a lesser extend, Lassa-patients, are, next to family and friends patients, at highest risk getting infected by those diseases, as they are most likely come contact with infectious blood...
Einführung: Die temporäre skelettale Verankerung ist eine relativ junge kieferorthopädische Behandlungsmaßnahme. Dabei sind chirurgische Osteosyntheseplatten, die mit intraoralen Attachments versehen sind, Alternative zu Minischrauben. In der vorliegenden Studie wurde Verwendung von modifizierten Osteosyntheseplatten für Behandlung aus Sicht Patienten und Behandlern untersucht. Methoden: Patienten, bei denen Miniplatten als Teil kieferorthopädischen eingesetzt worden waren, wurden anhand...

Introduction: malgré la réduction globale de mortalité des moins 5 ans, celle néonatale, due principalement à l’asphyxie naissance demeure inacceptablement élevée surtout en Afrique Sub-Saharienne. Ce problème peut être combattu par une amélioration compétences agents accoucheurs. Nous présentons ici les résultats préliminaires d’une étude pilote qui a pour but former santé première ligne du Burkina Faso réanimation néonatale base (RNB).
