Authors: Nguyen T.C. , Tran H.V.T. , Tran M.H.T. , Godin I. , Michel O.
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND
Given the high prevalence of asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap (ACO) in Vietnam, there is an urgent need to establish a simplified strategy for categorising patients as either having asthma or chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD). This classification would streamline the application of treatment recommendations outlined by the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) and the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD).

METHODS
Patients
with obstructive lung function were classified as having COPD, asthma, or ACO based on GINA/GOLD guidelines. We hypothesised that ACO-like asthma (ACO-A) would present with positive skin prick tests (SPTs) or early onset of symptoms without a history of tuberculosis (TB), while those with
ACO-like COPD (ACO-B) would exhibit negative SPTs and late onset of symptoms and/or a history of TB.

RESULTS
Among 235 patients, the prevalence of asthma, ACO-A, ACO-B, and COPD was respectively 21%, 22%, 17%, and 40%. Allergic
history, rhinitis, and childhood asthma were associated with ACO-A, while high cumulative smoking was correlated with ACO-B. Socio-economic and demographic parameters, medical history, clinical features, smoking habits, lung function, and para-clinical investigations significantly differed
between “all asthma” (i.e., individuals with asthma combined with ACO-A) and “all COPD” (i.e., individuals with COPD combined with ACO-B).

CONCLUSION
Based on SPTs, history of TB, and onset age, ACO patients
may be defined as people with asthma or COPD.

BACKGROUND
Confirming the aetiology of pleural effusion in children may be difficult in TB-endemic settings. We investigated the role of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and routine biochemical tests in discriminating pleural effusion
caused by bacteria from other aetiologies.

METHODS
This is a cross-sectional post-hoc analysis among children with pleural effusion in a tertiary hospital in South Africa, incorporating new data from PCR testing of stored pleural
fluid. Aetiological classification was defined by microbiological confirmation.

RESULTS
Ninety-one children were enrolled; the median age 31 months (IQR 12–102). The aetiology of pleural effusion was 40% (36/91) bacteria,
11% (10/91) TB, 3% (3/91) viruses, 11% (10/91) polymicrobial and 35% (32/91) had no pathogen identified. The most common pathogen was Staphylococcus aureus (27/91, 30%) with similar yields on culture and PCR, followed by Streptococcus pneumoniae (12/91, 13%), detected more commonly
by PCR. PCR reduced the number of children with unconfirmed aetiologies from 48 to 32. Characteristics of children with no pathogen most resembled those with TB. Pleural fluid lactate dehydrogenase ≥1,716 U/L best discriminated bacterial pleural effusion from other aetiologies (sensitivity
of 86%; specificity 95%).

CONCLUSION
PCR improved detection of pathogens and reduced number of children with unconfirmed aetiologies in presumed exudative pleural effusion.

Published: June 2024

Skin discoloration, also known as skin decolorization, is an uncommon side effect that can occur after low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is administered. We describe the case of a 33-year-old woman who complained of searing pains in both feet, feverish spells, and other symptoms when she visited the emergency room. She did, however, experience increased symptoms after receiving LMWH, such as abrasions and skin discolouration on her upper and lower limbs. This case emphasizes how crucial it is to take unusual drug reactions into account when treating patients who exhibit dermatological symptoms.

Epidemiological profile of enteroparatism in riverine communities of the Brazilian Amazon
Authors: Guimarães Jocilene , Brito Carlos Ramon do Nascimento
Published: June 2024

In the Brazilian Amazon, there are few studies related to the epidemiological profile of enteroparasitism, especially with regard to riverine populations. For this reason, a retrospective study was carried out in five riverine communities in the municipality of Coari, in the middle Solimões-Amazonas, in a sample universe of 256 individuals. The results of the study showed a positivity of 67.57%, with monoparasitism by the species Ascaris lumbricoides being the most frequent. The analysis of the epidemiological variables related to enteroparasitic infection showed statistical significance (p < 0.05) for water piping, drinking water treatment, sanitary sewage and family income of less than one minimum wage, suggesting that the high prevalence may be associated with the poor economic and sanitary conditions in which the riverine populations of the Amazon Region live. Thus, considering that the high prevalence is directly related to the precarious sanitary and housing conditions and economic aspects in which the riverside dwellers live, the need for a sanitary policy to combat these infections is emphasized, respecting the cultural peculiarities of these populations with a view to community engagement, in order to successfully implement and develop programs to control these parasitic conditions.

Authors: Koo Thai Hau , Zakaria Andee Dzulkarnaen , Mustafa Mohd Zulkifli
Published: June 2024

Context: Honey has been employed for its therapeutic attributes since ancient eras, with a history of medicinal utilization, and recent studies have highlighted its diverse clinical applications. The medicinal benefits of honey can be ascribed to various mechanisms, encompassing its osmotic and acidic characteristics, hydrogen peroxide generation, and particular bioactive compounds. While honey generally has a good safety profile, rare risks exist, particularly in infants under one year of age. More rigorous clinical trials and standardized protocols are needed to establish its optimal dosage, application methods, and specific indications. Economic considerations and regional variations in honey composition and quality should also be considered. Aims: To provide an overview of the clinical uses of honey in the medical field, emphasizing its effectiveness and potential therapeutic benefits. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted to gather relevant studies on the clinical applications of honey. The search encompassed various databases and included studies published with the range from May 2001 to May 2023. The selected studies were critically reviewed to extract pertinent information for this critical review. Results: Natural honey comes from two types of honey-producing bees: honeybees and stingless bees. Honey constitutes a multifaceted amalgamation of sugars, enzymes, minerals, vitamins, and bioactive compounds, all contributing to its therapeutic attributes. It exhibits antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, wound healing, and antioxidant effects. In wound management, honey promotes healing, reduces infection rates, and minimizes scarring. It also shows promise in treating bacterial and fungal infections. Furthermore, honey has effectively alleviated symptoms associated with respiratory tract infections, gastrointestinal disorders, and dermatological conditions. Conclusions: Honey possesses multifaceted clinical applications in the medical field. Its diverse therapeutic properties and minimal adverse effects make it an attractive option for various conditions. However, further research is necessary to solidify its role in evidence-based clinical practice, including conducting more rigorous clinical trials, establishing standardized protocols, and considering economic and regional factors.
