The highest shellfishery catch in Galicia (NW Spain) has traditionally been cockle Cerastoderma edule. shellfish bed located Lombos do Ulla (Ría de Arousa) used to be among those with the production; however, mortality rate increased sharply this April 2012, reaching 100% May 2012. Salinity and temperature were discounted as potential causes of mortality. Marteiliosis, which was first detected February 2012 reached prevalence identified most probable cause. Marteiliosis had never Galician...
We present an innovative approach to healthcare worker (HCW) training using mobile phones as a personal learning environment.Twenty physicians used individual Smartphones (Nokia N95 and iPhone), each equipped with portable solar charger. Doctors worked in urban peri-urban HIV/AIDS clinics Peru, where almost 70% of the nation's HIV patients need are on treatment. A set 3D scenarios simulating interactive clinical cases was developed adapted for continuing medical education program lasting 3...
The dynamics of disseminated neoplasia (DN) affecting cockles Cerastoderma edule (L.) in Galicia was addressed at individual and population levels. Early stage DN characterized by isolated neoplastic cells occurring branchial vessels or the connective tissue gills, mantle, gonad digestive gland. As disease progressed, appeared loose foci became widely distributed throughout organs. In advanced stages, most organs infiltrated cells, which displaced normal leading to loss tissue/organ...
Magallana gigas is a naturalized species on the north coast of Galicia (Rías Altas, Northwest Iberian Peninsula), where it was unintentionally introduced. In recent decades, greater abundance M. has been observed Galician coast, expanding towards south, reaching Artabro Gulf Centrales, NW coast), probably due to ocean warming. Although this cultivated in Rías Baixas since early 1990s and spawning reported, recruitment never observed, which likely cold water upwelled during months. The future...
The HIV epidemic in Peru is still regarded as concentrated - sentinel surveillance data shows greatest rates of infection men who have sex with men, while much lower are found female workers and the general population. Without an appropriate set preventive interventions, continuing infections could present a challenge to sustainability programme universal access treatment. Determining how specific prevention care strategies would impact on health Peruvians should be key reshaping national...
In a limited-resource hospital in Lima, Peru, 23 (63.9%) of 36 healthcare workers developed pruritus and/or skin lesions after contact with patient classic scabies. Of these 23, total 5 had scabies confirmed by microscopy. Oral ivermectin was used to control the outbreak effectively.
Diarrhea is still a prevalent health issue in HIV patients. Our objective was to characterize the different diarrheagenic E. coli (DEC) groups stools from adult Cross sectional study: We enrolled HIV-positive and -negative patients with without diarrhea tertiary-care center of Lima, Peru. Clinical data recorded stool sample per patient cultured. Multiplex PCR used detect DECs. One hundred eighty-four participants were enrolled. The frequency having at least one DEC more common than...
Cockles are highly appreciated mollusks and provide important services in coastal areas. The two European species, edible (Cerastoderma edule) lagoon glaucum) cockles, not easily distinguishable, especially when young. Interestingly, the species show different resistance to Marteilia cochillia, parasite responsible for marteiliosis outbreaks, which is devastating cockle production some C. edule severely affected by parasite, while glaucum seems be resistant, although underlying reasons still...
The use of rifamycin antibiotics for TB prevention carries a risk detrimental drug-drug interactions with concomitantly used ART.To evaluate the interaction antiretroviral drug nevirapine in combination 4 weeks daily rifapentine and isoniazid people living HIV.Participants were individuals enrolled BRIEF-TB study receiving randomized to rifapentine/isoniazid arm study. Participants provided sparse pharmacokinetic (PK) sampling at baseline 2 trough determination. Nevirapine apparent oral...
The common cockle (Cerastoderma edule) plays an important role in marine ecosystems and represents a valuable socioeconomic resource for coastal communities. In 2012, the beds from Rı́a de Arousa (Galicia, NW Spain) were seriously decimated by protozoan Marteilia cochillia responsible marteiliosis. We aimed to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) markers potentially associated with resilience marteiliosis be used marker-assisted selection programs restoring affected recovering...
Our aim was to investigate CD4+ cell recovery and adverse outcome after highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) under the Peruvian National Program for HIV.A prospective, observational study conducted between May 2004 September 2005. Data were collected from records of patients receiving HAART at a public hospital HIV. Predictors count analyzed by multiple regression.Three hundred twenty-six included in study. The mean increase six months 114 cells/microl (95% confidence interval:...
The name 'microcells' is frequently used to refer small-sized unicellular stages of molluscan parasites the genera Bonamia (Rhizaria, Haplosporidia) and Mikrocytos (Rhizaria). Histological examination Manila clams Ruditapes philippinarum revealed microcells in connective tissue adductor muscle, foot, mantle, gills, siphon visceral mass. had been collected from 4 beds on coast Galicia, Spain. prevalence these ranged 73 93% surface 3 33% buried clams. However, detection brown ring disease...
Abstract Transmissible cancers are malignant cell clones that spread among individuals through transfer of living cancer cells. Several such cancers, collectively known as bivalve transmissible neoplasia (BTN), to infect and cause leukaemia in marine molluscs. This is the case BTN affecting common cockle, Cerastoderma edule , which inhabits Atlantic coasts Europe north-west Africa. To investigate origin evolution contagious cockles, we collected 6,854 C. specimens diagnosed 390 cases BTN. We...

Diseases of bivalve molluscs caused by paramyxid parasites the genus Marteilia have been linked to mass mortalities and collapse commercially important shellfish populations. Until recently, no spp. detected in common cockle (Cerastoderma edule) populations British Isles. Molecular screening cockles from ten sites on Welsh coast indicates that a parasite is widespread C. edule populations, including major fisheries. Phylogenetic analysis ribosomal DNA (rDNA) gene sequences this it closely...
