We describe Zika virus (ZIKV) vertical transmission in an imported case Spain, a 17-week pregnant woman. ZIKV IgG, IgM and RNA were detected serum week 17. At 19 weeks, ultrasound scan revealed fetal malformations was the amniotic fluid. Pregnancy terminated at 21; autopsy of fetus bilateral hydrocephalus, brain microcalcifications arthrogryposis multiplex congenita. umbilical cord tissue.
Implant-associated infection due to biofilm formation is a growing problem. Given that silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) have shown antibacterial effects, our goal study their effect against multispecies involved in the development of peri-implantitis. To this purpose, Ag-NPs were synthesized by laser ablation de-ionized water using two different lasers, leading production colloidal suspensions. Subsequently, part each suspension was subjected irradiation one and three times with same source...
The regeneration of bone remains one the main challenges in biomedical field, with need to provide more personalized and multifunctional solutions. other persistent challenge is related local prevention infections after implantation surgery. To fulfill first customized scaffolds complex geometries, 3D printing being investigated, polylactic acid (PLA) as biomaterial mostly used, given its thermoplastic properties. PLA combination hydroxyapatite (HA) also under research, mimic native...
To infer a reliable SARS-CoV-2 antibody protection level from serological test, an appropriate quantitative threshold and solid equivalence across tests are needed. Additionally, should show correlation with neutralising assays the observed in large population cohorts even against emerging variants.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) bivalent and quadrivalent vaccines have been widely implemented in worldwide organized immunization programs. A nonavalent HPV vaccine is now available several countries. The objective was to describe the fraction of squamous non-invasive high-grade cervical intraepithelial lesions attributable genotypes targeted by bi-quadrivalent according age diagnosis women living city Vigo (Galicia, Spain). Cervical scrapings (2009–2014) with histological neoplasia grade 2...
The aim of this study was to characterize the evolution gonorrhea in general population by correlating epidemiological, genotypic, and antimicrobial resistance data Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates collected northern Spain from 2014 2018. One hundred ninety-four strains underwent susceptibility testing were genetically analyzed N. multiantigen sequence typing. Increasing cases gonococcal infections have been observed after 2015. Most occurred male with urethritis. Sequence type (ST)-9972...
Abstract Background : SARS-CoV-2 variant tracking is key to the genomic surveillance of pandemic. While next-generation sequencing (NGS) commonly used for determination, it expensive and time-consuming. Variant-specific PCR (vsPCR) a faster, cheaper method that detects specific mutations are considered variant-defining. These tests usually rely on amplification when mutation present or melting temperature peak after amplification. Case presentation: A discrepant result between vsPCR NGS was...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted (STI) in many countries, including United States 1 and some South European regions 2 .HPV main cause of cervical cancer woman 3 anal HIV-MSM( 4 ).Moreover, HPV a major penile 5 oropharyngeal carcinoma 6 genotypes are classified four categories based on their oncogenic risk: high risk (i.e., HPV-16, HPV-18), probably high-risk HPV-53), low HPV-6, HPV-11) indeterminate HPV-25) 7 .Prior studies have reported an...
Abstract Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexual transmitted disease (STD) and a risk factor for penile, oral anal cancer. immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfection increases of While HPV well studied in men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM), genitalia less known. Methods This prevalence study cavity HIV-MSM patients included 107 non-vaccinated subjects. HPV-DNA was detected with Anyplex™ II HPV28 method. Participants completed questionnaire on lifestyle behavior....
