Situación de la varicela y del herpes zóster en España, 1998-2012

En España la vacuna de la varicela se introdujo en calendario de vacunación en 2005 para adolescentes susceptibles. Entre 2006 y 2008 Madrid, Navarra, Ceuta y Melilla incluyeron también la vacunación sistemática en la infancia. Además entre 2004 y 2014 la vacuna ha estado disponible en farmacias, con lo que en el resto de comunidades autónomas se ha vacunado a los niños fuera de las recomendaciones oficiales de vacunación. Para evaluar el impacto de la vacunación de varicela en la epidemiología de la varicela y del herpes zóster (HZ), se compara el periodo pre-vacunación (1998-2004) con el periodo post-vacunación (2006-2012) y, las comunidades autónomas que han introducido oficialmente la vacuna de varicela en la infancia con las que no la han introducido. Después de introducir la vacuna en calendario, la incidencia y las hospitalizaciones por varicela se han reducido, más en las comunidades que vacunan sistemáticamente en la infancia que en el resto (la incidencia se redujo un 16% y un 9% respectivamente y las hospitalizaciones un 64% y un 43% respectivamente). Las hospitalizaciones por HZ han aumentado en los mayores de 64 años, sobre todo en las regiones en las que más ha bajado la incidencia de varicela. Coberturas de vacunación entre el 20% y el 80% pueden retrasar la edad de presentación de la varicela, aumentando el riesgo de enfermedad grave y de mortalidad. Esta situación puede haberse reproducido en las comunidades autónomas en las que se ha vacunado a los niños fuera del calendario de vacunación y es previsible que, en mayor o menor medida, se incremente el porcentaje de adolescentes que cumplan los 12 años siendo susceptibles a varicela. Hay que fortalecer los programas de vacunación de varicela para asegurar que todos los adolescentes susceptibles reciban dos dosis de vacuna antes de llegar a la edad adulta. Además es preciso consolidar la vigilancia para monitorizar la evolución de la varicela y del HZ en los próximos año

Pathogen reduction/inactivation of products for the treatment of bleeding disorders:what are the processes and what should we say to patients?

Patients with blood disorders (including leukaemia, platelet function disorders and coagulation factor deficiencies) or acute bleeding receive blood-derived products, such as red blood cells, platelet concentrates and plasma-derived products. Although the risk of pathogen contamination of blood products has fallen considerably over the past three decades, contamination is still a topic of concern. In order to counsel patients and obtain informed consent before transfusion, physicians are required to keep up to date with current knowledge on residual risk of pathogen transmission and methods of pathogen removal/inactivation. Here, we describe pathogens relevant to transfusion of blood products and discuss contemporary pathogen removal/inactivation procedures, as well as the potential risks associated with these products: the risk of contamination by infectious agents varies according to blood product/region, and there is a fine line between adequate inactivation and functional impairment of the product. The cost implications of implementing pathogen inactivation technology are also considered

CEUS of the pancreas: Still research or the standard of care

Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) improves the characterization of pancreatic masses. CEUS is in fact a safe and accurate imaging method to evaluate the vascularity of pancreatic lesions. CEUS should be performed when possible immediately after the ultrasound (US) detection of a pancreatic mass. CEUS is accurate in the characterization of ductal adenocarcinoma. The use of CEUS in studying pancreatic lesions found at US, especially in the same session of ultrasound examination, is therefore recommendable to promote faster diagnosis mainly of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Prognostic Stratification and Therapeutic Response Assessment in Liver and Pancreatic Tumors: the New Imaging

The purpose of this study is to show and discuss possible applications of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) quantification perfusion analysis, perfusion CT (pCT) quantification perfusion analysis and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for the study of liver and pancreatic tumors for prognostic stratification and therapeutic response assessment. Many Authors have reported the usefulness of CEUS and pCT with enhancement quantification analysis for either prognostic stratification or therapeutic response assessment in the study of liver and pancreatic tumors. Recent technological developments in MRI as diffusion-weighted imaging and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI have been shown usefulness regarding the evaluation of liver and pancreatic tumors demonstrated its capability for prediction and assessment of therapeutic responses
