Treatment assignment in each study site was randomized by locality …

Spondweni virus infection in pregnant rhesus macaques causes placental pathology without apparent fetal harm.

UNLABELLED: The 2015-2016 Zika virus (ZIKV) epidemic revealed the potential of flaviviruses to emerge rapidly, cause severe disease, and affect pregnancy outcomes. In 2016, Spondweni virus (SPOV), the closest known relative of ZIKV, was detected in mosquitoes in Haiti, suggesting it may also have the potential to emerge in the Western Hemisphere. The risks that close relatives of ZIKV pose to pregnant individuals are not well understood. Previously, we showed that SPOV can cause fetal demise, placental pathology, and vertical transmission in a mouse model. Here we report SPOV's pathogenic pote…

T-cell receptor J beta 1/J beta 2 locus rearrangements in an HTLV-1-positive T-cell lymphoma with complex chromosomal aberrations.

We report a case of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1)-infected adult T-cell lymphoma that has multiple chromosomal abnormalities, including the presence of an additional 7q22-36, which contains the locus of the T-cell receptor (TCR) beta chain gene. Specific TCR J beta 1/J beta 2 gene rearrangements were detected in both marrow and peripheral blood DNA, with evidence of further evolution of the transformed clonal population within the peripheral lymphocytes. To our knowledge, this is the first case in which gene rearrangements have been associated with additional TCR loci. Conseq

The Out-of-Pocket Cost Burden of Cancer Care-A Systematic Literature Review.

BackgroundOut-of-pocket costs pose a substantial economic burden to cancer patients and their families. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the literature on out-of-pocket costs of cancer care.MethodsA systematic literature review was conducted to identify studies that estimated the out-of-pocket cost burden faced by cancer patients and their caregivers. The average monthly out-of-pocket costs per patient were reported/estimated and converted to 2018 USD. Costs were reported as medical and non-medical costs and were reported across countries or country income levels by cancer site, where

Head injury and neuropsychiatric sequelae in asylum seekers.

OBJECTIVE: Asylum seekers experience a high burden of physical and psychological trauma, yet there is a scarcity of literature regarding the epidemiology and sequelae of head injury (HI) in asylum seekers. We examined HI prevalence and association with neuropsychiatric comorbidities in asylum seekers. METHODS: A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed through review of 139 medical affidavits from an affidavit database. Affidavits written from 2010 to 2018 were included. Demographic and case-related data were collected and classified based on the presence of HI. For neuropsychiatric

PSORS2 is due to mutations in CARD14.

Psoriasis is a common, immune-mediated genetic disorder of the skin and is associated with arthritis in approximately 30% of cases. Previously, we localized PSORS2 (psoriasis susceptibility locus 2) to chromosomal region 17q25.3-qter after a genome-wide linkage scan in a family of European ancestry with multiple cases of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Linkage to PSORS2 was also observed in a Taiwanese family with multiple psoriasis-affected members. In caspase recruitment domain family, member 14 (CARD14), we identified unique gain-of-function mutations that segregated with psoriasis by us

Shoulder Pain in a 33-Year-Old Male Found to Have Multiple Myeloma.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a blood cancer involving monoclonal plasma cells, mainly diagnosed in older adults. Only a very small percentage of patients are diagnosed before age 40. A 33-year-old male presented with hip and shoulder pain and was diagnosed with Immunoglobulin G (IgG) kappa multiple myeloma. Of the CRAB (calcium elevation, renal insufficiency, anemia, and bone lesions) criteria, he only exhibited anemia and bone lesions. He was found to have extensive osseous lesions throughout his skeleton and a bone marrow biopsy showing plasma cell myeloma involving 30% of medullary cellularity.

Reflection on modern methods: years of life lost due to premature mortality-a versatile and comprehensive measure for monitoring non-communicable disease mortality.

The analysis of causes impacting on premature mortality is an essential function of public health surveillance. Diverse methods have been used for accurately assessing and reporting the level and trends of premature mortality; however, many have important limitations, particularly in capturing actual early deaths. We argue that the framework of years of life lost (YLL), as conceptualized in disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), is a robust and comprehensive measure of premature mortality. Global Burden of Disease study is systematically providing estimates of YLL; however, it is not widely a
