A gripe aviária altamente patogénica e seus saltos na interface entre aves e mamíferos: situação atual

Avian influenza, caused by highly pathogenic strains of influenza A virus, has been the subject of global concern due to its ability to infect poultry and wildlife, as well as its potential for transmission to humans. This review article examines data and information provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH), Department of Agriculture (USDA-APHIS), and the National Library of of Medicine (PubMed) of the United States, on avian influenza. Key aspects of the disease are addressed, including its epidemiology, transmission mechanisms, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, prevention, and control. In addition, the latest research advances are explored and future perspectives in the field of avian influenza are discussed.La influenza aviar, causada por cepas altamente patógenas del virus de la influenza tipo A, ha sido objeto de preocupación global debido a su capacidad para infectar a aves de corral y vida silvestre, así como a su potencial para transmitirse a los seres humanos.

Crónica de una pandemia anunciada:: caso Santander (Parte 1)

Introduction: the COVID-19 pandemic reached Santander on March 17, 2020. The first cases were imported and related, keeping a low occurrence in general, until the end of May. Since then the cases increased rapidly, consequence of the occupational flexibilization of mid-May and the lack of confinement since June 1. The objective of the study is to provide supplies to decision-makers to improve the response to the pandemic. Materials and methods: An analysis of the behavior of the COVID-19 pandemic in Santander was carried out, using data from official records and analysis of side effects from the public health perspective and a One Health approach. Results: the side effects of the pandemic that do not only affect the health sector are beginning to be evident. The consequences of the day without VAT (June 19) on the occurrence of infected people are still unknown. A preliminary evaluation of the government response in Santander suggests lack of preparation; It is evident the diminished capacity for surveillance in public health, field epidemiology and diagnostic capacity, inability to increase the number of intensive care units, inadequate communication with community, limited capacity for community action, and lack of clarity in intersectoral management of the various manifestations and side effects of the pandemic. Discussion: based on the analysis, in July 2020 the panorama of response to the pandemic is discouraging in Santander.Introducción: la pandemia de COVID-19 llegó al departamento de Santander el 17 de marzo de 2020; los primeros casos fueron importados y relacionados, manteniendo una baja ocurrencia generalizada hasta finales de mayo. Desde ese momento empiezan a aumentar los casos de manera rápida, consecuencia de la flexibilización laboral de mitad de mayo y el desconfinamiento desde el 1 de junio. Se tiene como objetivo generar un insumo a los tomadores de decisiones en el mejoramiento de la respuesta a la pandemia Materiales y métodos: se realizó un análisis del comportamiento de la pandemia por COVID-19 en Santander, a partir de datos de registros oficiales y análisis de efectos colaterales desde la visión de la salud pública y un enfoque de Una Salud. Resultados: Se comienzan a evidenciar los efectos colaterales de la pandemia que no afectan únicamente al sector salud. Aún no se conocen las consecuencias del día sin IVA (19 de junio) en la ocurrencia de infectados. Una evaluación preliminar de la respuesta gubernamental en Santander sugiere falta de preparación; es notoria la disminuida capacidad de vigilancia en salud pública, en epidemiología de campo y capacidad diagnóstica, incapacidad de aumentar el número de unidades de cuidado intensivo, inadecuada comunicación con la sociedad, limitada capacidad de acción de las comunidades y falta de claridad en el manejo intersectorial de las diversas manifestaciones y efectos colaterales de la pandemia. Discusión: con base en el análisis, a comienzos de julio 2020 el panorama de respuesta a la pandemia es desalentador en Santander

Association of tuberculosis with multimorbidity and social networks

ABSTRACT The combination of tuberculosis with other diseases can affect tuberculosis treatment within populations. In the present study, social network analysis of data retrieved from the Mexican National Epidemiological Surveillance System was used in order to explore associations between the number of contacts and multimorbidity. The node degree was calculated for each individual with tuberculosis and included information from 242 contacts without tuberculosis. Multimorbidity was identified in 49.89% of individuals. The node degrees were highest for individuals with tuberculosis + HIV infection (p < 0.04) and lowest for those with tuberculosis + pulmonary edema (p < 0.07). Social network analysis should be used as a standard method for monitoring tuberculosis and tuberculosis-related syndemics

Mass psychogenic illness following HPV immunization in Carmen de Bolivar, Colombia (2014): more uncertainty is required

The interesting article by Simas et. al. describes an outbreak case with over 600 individuals who exhibited neurological symptoms and which occurred in a town located at the northern region of Colombia in 2014. The community associated this event to the second-dose vaccination campaign against the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and scientists defined it as a mass psychogenic illness. Unfortunately, the authors did not include in their article important findings related to a case-control study (with n = 137 and n = 437, respectively), conducted by the Colombian government. After inquiring “have you ever received vaccination against human papillomavirus?”, a significant association with the vaccine was identified (adjusted OR: 10.8, 95% CI: 1.4–80.2)

Global attitudes in the management of acute appendicitis during COVID-19 pandemic: ACIE Appy Study

Background: Surgical strategies are being adapted to face the COVID-19 pandemic. Recommendations on the management of acute appendicitis have been based on expert opinion, but very little evidence is available. This study addressed that dearth with a snapshot of worldwide approaches to appendicitis. Methods: The Association of Italian Surgeons in Europe designed an online survey to assess the current attitude of surgeons globally regarding the management of patients with acute appendicitis during the pandemic. Questions were divided into baseline information, hospital organization and screening, personal protective equipment, management and surgical approach, and patient presentation before versus during the pandemic. Results: Of 744 answers, 709 (from 66 countries) were complete and were included in the analysis. Most hospitals were treating both patients with and those without COVID. There was variation in screening indications and modality used, with chest X-ray plus molecular testing (PCR) being the commonest (19\ub78 per cent). Conservative management of complicated and uncomplicated appendicitis was used by 6\ub76 and 2\ub74 per cent respectively before, but 23\ub77 and 5\ub73 per cent, during the pandemic (both P < 0\ub7001). One-third changed their approach from laparoscopic to open surgery owing to the popular (but evidence-lacking) advice from expert groups during the initial phase of the pandemic. No agreement on how to filter surgical smoke plume during laparoscopy was identified. There was an overall reduction in the number of patients admitted with appendicitis and one-third felt that patients who did present had more severe appendicitis than they usually observe. Conclusion: Conservative management of mild appendicitis has been possible during the pandemic. The fact that some surgeons switched to open appendicectomy may reflect the poor guidelines that emanated in the early phase of SARS-CoV-2
