The COVID-19 pandemic has been identified as a mental health crisis for children and adolescents in America.1 Social isolation and loneliness during the pandemic present a significant challenge. A rapid systematic review published in this journal found that social isolation correlates with depression and anxiety and may heighten the risk of disorder onset.2 Specifically in an infectious disease context, research on the H1N1 influenza pandemic showed that children in North America required to quarantine were 5 to 30 times more likely to meet criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder than child…

Exportin 1 inhibition as antiviral therapy.

Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19; caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2; SARS-CoV-2) is a currently global health problem. Previous studies showed that blocking nucleocytoplasmic transport with exportin 1 (XPO1) inhibitors originally developed as anticancer drugs can quarantine key viral accessory proteins and genomic materials in the nucleus of host cell and reduce virus replication and immunopathogenicity. These observations support the concept of the inhibition of nuclear export as an effective strategy against an array of viruses, including influenza A, B, and SARS-CoV. Clini…

Multifocal suppurative granuloma caused by Actinobacillus lignieresii in the peritoneum of a beef steer.

An imported crossbred Angus beef steer aged eight to twelve months died suddenly on the eighth day of a quarantine period in Japan. Gross examination showed the peritoneum and mesentery consisted of numerous nodules of various sizes. Histological examination revealed chronic suppurative granulomatous peritonitis with eosinophilic rosettes surrounding colonies of Gram-negative bacilli. The bacteria isolated from the nodules were confirmed to be Actinobacillus lignieresii based on the results of 16S rRNA gene sequencing and immunohistochemistry. Antibiotic sensitivity testing showed that the iso…

Pesticide poisoning events in wild birds in Korea from 1998 to 2002.

We describe cases of pesticide poisoning of wild birds diagnosed at the National Veterinary Research and Quarantine Service (Kyunggi, Korea) from 1998 to 2002. Forty-one mortality events (759 birds) of 87 incidents (2,464 birds) investigated were associated with pesticide poisoning, and six organophosphates or carbamates were identified as being responsible for the poisoning. Phosphamidon was most frequently identified as the cause of poisoning, accounting for 23 mortality events. Other pesticides identified as poisons for birds were organophosphates monocrotophus, fenthion, parathion, EPN, an…
