Chapter 12a: Epidemiology by country – an overview
Authors: Erber Wilhelm , Schmitt Heinz-J , Vuković Janković Tamara
Published: May 2021

TBE is a flavivirus infection of the central nervous system (CNS), transmitted by ticks and in some instances by ingestion of unpasteurized milk. It is diagnosed in the forested belts of Northern Eurasia ranging from the UK, eastern France, The Netherlands and Norway down to Italy through central and Eastern Europe, Russia, Kazakhstan, and China to Japan. About 10,000 cases of TBE are reported annually, likely a significant underestimate as serological testing is more sporadic than complete and, in some countries, (like Japan) not even available. The European Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) have put TBE on their list of notifiable diseases. Their case definition requires clinical symptoms of CNS infection plus virological or serological confirmation of the infection, usually by detection of specific immunoglobulins IgG and IgM. Vaccination against TBE is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines. the safest and most effective medicines needed in a health system. Surveillance of TBE and the TBEV is incomplete. Reported incidences do not reflect actual risk since this fluctuates annually as a result of changes in exposure, vaccine uptake, intensity of case finding and reporting, climate factors, reservoir animals and ticks – just to mention the most relevant factors. For largely unknown reasons (including human behavior, improved diagnostics, or climate change) TBEV appears to be spreading north, east, west, even south and to higher altitudes to areas that were previously believed to be free of the virus.
Chapter 6: TBE in children
Authors: Sundin Mikael , Veje Malin
Published: May 2021

Most cases of TBE in childhood will present similarly as in adults. However, a more diffuse clinical picture is seen especially in preschool children.

Laboratory evaluation may show elevated blood inflammatory indices, but cerebrospinal fluid analysis and anti-TBEV serology are needed for establishing the diagnosis.

There is no specific treatment for TBE; supportive care needs to be provided based on the individual clinical course.

The mortality in pediatric TBE is very low, but severe courses have been reported in a fraction of the children.

Long-term somatic residua exist, but are uncommon (2%) in childhood TBE. Yet, long-term symptoms and neurodevelopmental/cognitive deficits are seen in 10–40% of infected children.

Protective immunity can be elicited in children by TBE vaccines as of 1 year of age.

Conhecer a percepção da equipe de enfermagem sobre o Brinquedo Terapêutico (BT) no cuidado de Enfermagem na hospitalização pediátrica. Estudo descritivo, qualitativo, realizado na Clínica Pediátrica de um Hospital Universitário, do Nordeste Brasileiro. Foram entrevistados 19 profissionais da equipe de enfermagem, no período de setembro a dezembro de 2019 e as falas vistas segundo à análise de conteúdo. Os profissionais de enfermagem mostraram-se sensíveis aos aspectos negativos da hospitalização pediátrica e reconhecem a importância de meios para diminuição desse sofrimento, e apontam como significativo o uso do brinquedo. No entanto, quando indagados quanto ao recurso do BT no processo de cuidado, a percepção difere da sua finalidade e tipos. Os profissionais ainda desconhecem as legislações a respeito do BT, mas ao compartilhar em suas falas experiências de cuidado verifica-se que algumas práticas se aproximam das finalidades do BT. O uso do brinquedo terapêutico no hospital ainda é visto como dissociado do cuidado de enfermagem, mostrando a necessidade de estudos sobre o tema e capacitações e sensibilizações para os profissionais, promovendo a reflexão crítica acerca da prática da equipe de enfermagem frente a esta tecnologia em saúde.

Atualmente, o boxe apresenta-se como uma forma moderna de prática corporal no interior das academias, com o acréscimo de elementos da ginástica e do treinamento funcional. Nesse contexto, nossa pesquisa teve como objetivo compreender quais são os fatores relacionados à adesão e aderência dessa prática corporal em uma academia do Sul de Minas Gerais. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa assentada nos pressupostos qualitativos sob um desenho descritivo, valendo-se de entrevista semiestruturada junto a dez praticantes. Concluímos que vários aspectos estão relacionados à adesão e a aderência à prática de boxe, porém, alguns se destacaram nas narrativas. No que se refere à adesão, os motivos de maior destaque foram: a busca pela prática para promoção da saúde; a disponibilidade de horários das aulas; à paixão pelo boxe; e o aprimoramento da técnica de luta para variados fins, bem como, o incentivo da família e dos amigos. Já, em relação à aderência, os motivos mais mencionados foram: a motivação e a variabilidade de treinamento; a disponibilidade de horários de aulas e as interações sociais no interior da academia que, no caso específico, contribuem para a construção de uma identidade coletiva no sentido do pertencimento ao grupo.

Objetivo: Investigar as internações por estresse nos estados do Sul do Brasil no período de janeiro de 2009 a dezembro de 2018. Metodologia: Foram coletados registros dos arquivos do SIH/SUS (Sistema Internação Hospitalar do Sistema único de Saúde) na plataforma eletrônica do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS), referente às internações cujo diagnóstico principal contido no capítulo V do CID – 10 pertencessem à categoria F43 “Reações ao “stress” grave e transtornos de adaptação” e subcategorias. A tendência temporal foi avaliada por regressão joinpoint (versão 3.4.2.) e a análise geoespacial por meio do software Quantum Gis (QGIS), versão 2.16. Resultados: Paraná, Santa Catarina e Rio Grande do Sul apresentaram tendência decrescente com valores de Annual Percentage Change (APC) de -14.7, -6.2 e -15.8, respectivamente. O gênero feminino foi mais incidente, com exceção de 2013 e 2017. Separando as internações F43 em subcategorias, a F43.0 (Reação aguda ao “stress”) foi a principal causa de internação por estresse (4.27). A análise espacial apresentou 57 municípios High-High (p<0.05). Conclusão: Os dados obtidos sugerem que com a implantação da Portaria nº 3.088 de 23 de dezembro de 2011, o número de casos por internação por estresse diminuiu. O gênero feminino apresentou maior risco de desenvolvimento de outras doenças e de internamento decorrentes do estresse e a tendência se mostrou decrescente com maiores internações em regiões onde há o reflexo das incertezas do mercado de trabalho, bem como da precariedade das condições sociais ideais.

Published: May 2021

In stocks and bonds market banks can lend and borrow securities and make profits, maintain liquidity and attract additional financial flows. That is why one needs to assess the economic efficiency of the securities portfolio. The aim of the study is to develop a methodology for evaluating the effectiveness of the bank’s operations with securities. The choice of the bank is conditioned by available information and importance of the banking system. The research methodology is based on the coefficient method. A model allows to combine several indicators into one generalizing coefficient S. Bank’s securities operations can be considered cost-effective if the calculated value of S is higher than the average value of 0,5. The evaluation methodology involves the sequence of steps: 1) determination and analysis of selected indicators; 2) normative relations between growth rates of selected indicators, 3) construction of a matrix of normative and recommended ratios, 4) calculation of actual absolute values and growth rates of selected indicators, 5) construction of a matrix of actual relations between the growth rates of selected indicators, 6) comparison of actual and normative growth rates, 7) calculation of the average value of the generalized indicator, 8) comparison of the actual growth rates of the selected indicators with the generalized result and the average value. The developed model gives the possibility to carry out the comparative analysis of the efficiency between different banks irrespective of size. The approbation of the approach is done for particular example of JSC “Oschadbank” due to the available information. During 2012-2019, the share of the securities portfolio of JSC “Oschadbank” in assets averaged 40%, and its highest value is observed in 2018 (53.90%), and the lowest - in 2012 (12.11%). Efficiency of securities transactions has increased: in 2019, the growth rate was more in line with their regulatory ratio (S2019 = 0.63) than in 2018 (S2018 = 0.38). The investment of JSC “Oschadbank” in securities is considered as a more reliable and alternative source of income and liquidity, as compared to loans.

Objective. The interactions between environmental factors and microbial biological process are well known. Urine has been selected to provide host conditions probably affecting bacterial growth and gene expressions. The aim of this study was to detect the modulations of growth and gene expressions [sfa/foc, cnf1, usp and aer] of UPEC in urine by comparing the results with serum supplemented Standart American Petroleum Institute medium which is defined as host-like medium.
Methods. UPECs were incubated 37°C and growth alterations were detected by measuring the changes in the absorbance at 600 nm in four-,six- and 24 hours periods. Gene expression levels were analysed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Statistical analysis of fold changes in gene expression values and growths were calculated using one-way ANOVA Tukey's post hoc test. Results. The increase of bacterial growth in urine was found to be statistically significant (p<0.0001). The alterations of aer and sfa/foc expression levels were statistically significant (p<0.001); whereas the expression levels of cnf1 and usp genes were not altered (p>0.05).
Conclusion. According to our results, urine as an environment in vivo affected both the growth and gene expression in UPEC.

Objective: Many cancer survivors have cognitive problems with concentration and memory after cancer treatment. The Attention Function Index (AFI) is a tool developed to evaluate cognitive processes in cancer patients. This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of AFI in Turkish.
Methods: This methodological study was conducted with one hundred breast cancer survivors. Data were collected using the information form, AFI, and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life (EORTC QLQ-C30) scale. Internal consistency, test-retest, and item-total scores were analyzed to assess the reliability of the AFI Turkish form.
Results: The internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach’s alpha) was 0.89 for the Turkish version of AFI. Confirmatory factor analysis for construct validity revealed that the original three-factor structure of AFI was not confirmed, but the two-factor structure of the AFI was confirmed by the fit indices. In the correlation analysis for criterion validity, a statistically significant and positive relationship was found between AFI total scores and EORTC QLQ-C30 total scores. There was a strong positive correlation between test and retest scores (r = 0.524; p <0.01).
Conclusions: In this study, it was determined that the two-factor, 10-item version of the AFI, which was evaluated for validity and reliability, was well-matched with the sample in which the scale was administered. The Turkish version of AFI is a valid and reliable tool for breast cancer survivors. The scale tested in cancer survivors and can be used in clinical practice.

Statistics as an analysis technique can not only be used to make descriptions, but also to make estimates and generalizations. To be able to know and deepen knowledge about statistics, knowledge of research methodology must be possessed. In this study will discuss the arithmetic mean, median and mode for single data and group data, and the related relationship between arithmetic mean, median and mode. So it will be proved that the mode plus the average of the count is equal to three times the median.

Published: May 2021

Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) are small lipid-enclosed particles containing biological molecules such as RNA and proteins that have emerged as vital modulators of intercellular communication. Increasingly, studies have shown that EVs play an essential role in the occurrence and prognosis of oral diseases. EVs are increasingly considered a research hotspot of oral diseases. In addition, the characteristics of carrying active molecules have also been studied in oral tissue regeneration. Evidence has shown that EVs regulate the homeostasis of the inflammatory microenvironment, promote angiogenesis, and repair damaged tissues. In this review, we summarized the characteristics of EVs and highlighted the role of EVs in oral tissue regeneration, including dental pulp, periodontal tissue, cartilage, and bone. We also discussed their deficiencies and prospects as a potential therapeutic role in the regeneration treatment of oral disease.
Brief Overview of Approaches and Challenges in New Antibiotic Development: A Focus On Drug Repurposing

Published: May 2021

Drug repurposing, or identifying new uses for existing drugs, has emerged as an alternative to traditional drug discovery processes involving de novo synthesis. Drugs that are currently approved or under development for non-antibiotic indications may possess antibiotic properties, and therefore may have repurposing potential, either alone or in combination with an antibiotic. They might also serve as “antibiotic adjuvants” to enhance the activity of certain antibiotics.
Evolutionary Protection of Krüppel-Like Factors 2 and 4 in the Development of the Mature Hemovascular System

Published: May 2021

A properly functioning hemovascular system, consisting of circulating innate immune cells and endothelial cells (ECs), is essential in the distribution of nutrients to distant tissues while ensuring protection from invading pathogens. Professional phagocytes (e.g., macrophages) and ECs have co-evolved in vertebrates to adapt to increased physiological demands. Intercellular interactions between components of the hemovascular system facilitate numerous functions in physiology and disease in part through the utilization of shared signaling pathways and factors. Krüppel-like factors (KLFs) 2 and 4 are two such transcription factors with critical roles in both cellular compartments. Decreased expression of either factor in myeloid or endothelial cells increases susceptibility to a multitude of inflammatory diseases, underscoring the essential role for their expression in maintaining cellular quiescence. Given the close evolutionary relationship between macrophages and ECs, along with their shared utilization of KLF2 and 4, we hypothesize that KLF genes evolved in such a way that protected their expression in myeloid and endothelial cells. Within this Perspective, we review the roles of KLF2 and 4 in the hemovascular system and explore evolutionary trends in their nucleotide composition that suggest a coordinated protection that corresponds with the development of mature myeloid and endothelial systems.
Dimming the Powerhouse: Mitochondrial Dysfunction in the Liver and Skeletal Muscle of Intrauterine Growth Restricted Fetuses

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) of the fetus, resulting from placental insufficiency (PI), is characterized by low fetal oxygen and nutrient concentrations that stunt growth rates of metabolic organs. Numerous animal models of IUGR recapitulate pathophysiological conditions found in human fetuses with IUGR. These models provide insight into metabolic dysfunction in skeletal muscle and liver. For example, cellular energy production and metabolic rate are decreased in the skeletal muscle and liver of IUGR fetuses. These metabolic adaptations demonstrate that fundamental processes in mitochondria, such as substrate utilization and oxidative phosphorylation, are tempered in response to low oxygen and nutrient availability. As a central metabolic organelle, mitochondria coordinate cellular metabolism by coupling oxygen consumption to substrate utilization in concert with tissue energy demand and accretion. In IUGR fetuses, reducing mitochondrial metabolic capacity in response to nutrient restriction is advantageous to ensure fetal survival. If permanent, however, these adaptations may predispose IUGR fetuses toward metabolic diseases throughout life. Furthermore, these mitochondrial defects may underscore developmental programming that results in the sequela of metabolic pathologies. In this review, we examine how reduced nutrient availability in IUGR fetuses impacts skeletal muscle and liver substrate catabolism, and discuss how enzymatic processes governing mitochondrial function, such as the tricarboxylic acid cycle and electron transport chain, are regulated. Understanding how deficiencies in oxygen and substrate metabolism in response to placental restriction regulate skeletal muscle and liver metabolism is essential given the importance of these tissues in the development of later lifer metabolic dysfunction.

To verify the viability and functionality of cryopreserved thyroid autotransplantation in rats who underwent total thyroidectomy in the treatment of postoperative hypothyroidism. Thirty-two Wistar rats were randomly assigned into groups (G) with eight animals each: control (CG); simulation (SG); hypothyroidism (HTG) and transplanted (TG). At the beginning and in the 13th week of the experiment, serum levels of total T3, free T4, TSH and calcium were determined. In both the first and 14th weeks, scintigraphic examinations, 99m-Tc pertechnetate radioisotope biodistribution and histopathology were performed. In the 14th week, the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and cellular apoptosis (caspase-3) were also evaluated. In the 13th week, the transplanted animals had normal serum levels of total T3 and free T4. TSH levels showed a tendency towards normality. In the 14th week, scintigraphic exams displayed graft isotopic uptake in all animals in the TG group. Histological examinations 13 weeks after transplantation showed the viability and functionality of thyroid follicles. PCNA revealed significant immunoreactivity of the graft (p < 0.001) when the TG was compared to the CG. There was no difference between CG and TG considering the expression of activated caspase-3. The experimental study confirmed the viability and functionality of thyroid autotransplantation implanted in skeletal muscle with evidence of cell proliferation without cellular apoptosis. This surgical strategy was effective in the treatment of postoperative hypothyroidism.

Background

Superior outcomes after surgical treatment over medical treatment for primary aldosteronism (PA) has been reported in small-scale clinical studies, but no solid conclusion has been drawn as results of large randomized trials are lacking.

Methods

We performed a search of PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane Library for randomized or observational studies that investigated cardiovascular outcomes in patients with PA undergoing medical versus surgical treatment. Meta-analyses of both composite and individual outcomes were conducted. Risks of bias of the included studies were assessed with Risk Of Bias In Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) checklist. Trial sequential analysis (TSA) was performed to control the risk of random errors and assess whether the results in our meta-analysis were conclusive.

Results

A total of 12 studies, including a total of 6148 PA patients, were included in the meta-analysis. The results of meta-analyses demonstrated lower incidence of composite cardiovascular outcomes among PA patients who underwent surgical treatment over medical treatment (odds ratio (OR): 0.49). Surgical treatment also led to less incidence of persistence of hypertension (OR of non-cure hypertension: 0.31). Fewer major cardiovascular events and mortality events were observed (OR: 0.60) after surgical treatment. TSA result showed that the required information size was 2151 and the cumulative Z curve crossed the futility boundary and reached the required information size.

Conclusion

Superior performance of surgical treatment over medical treatment is confirmed with meta-analyses in terms of lower incidences of composite cardiovascular outcomes and non-cure of hypertension. Hence, adrenalectomy could now be concluded as the treatment of choice for lateralized PA.
