In April 2013, severe porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) outbreaks first appeared in USA, causing significant financial losses. To detect the geographic origin and timing of USA porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) isolates, we conducted a retrospective study to isolate 19 PEDV strains from positive samples obtained prior to April 2013. The results of phylogenetic and recombination analyses showed that GDS10 strain shared a common ancestor with CO13 strain, which was obtained from a piglet with severe diarrhea in USA. | non-urgent |
Hello doctor,I have swollen lymph node in the armpit with very little pain. I have been experiencing fatigue and weight loss for last few weeks. I have gone through some routine lab test and found that some test results are out of the normal range. Iron profile: iron 153, UIBC 96 (low), TIBC 249, saturation % 61.40 (high). Are the above results an indication of any health issue or disease like hemochromatosis? | non-urgent |

Hi. My mom is 71 years old. She has been diagnosed with Layomyo Sarcoma in 2008. She had a tumour removed that was growing outside the colon then. In 2010 after a CT scan showed mets to the liver and lungs, she had surgery again. Six tumors were removed from the liver and 11 leighsions remained in the lungs. She had 12 chemotherapy sessions. July 2012 after another scan I was told that treatment was not effective and she will be treated symptomatic from then on. In January this year a large tumour was removed from her back but the results showed "incomplete". Currently my mom is experiencing the following: swollen neck, abdomen, right foot. She only experience pain now and then - not sure if she is hiding anything- She sometimes have pain in her neck, shoulders, feet and hands. her complextion is slightly darker, constipation and tiredness. However she still do most things by herself. She stays with me. Her GP is very vague and not very forthcoming with information, which frustrates me. Hospice does regular checkups. All I want to know is what to expect and how long my mom has to live. It seems she does not understand what's happening to her. Many thanks Gaironese | urgent |
Hi doctor, Two years ago, I went to a dermatologist to remove a lesion on my scalp. She told me it was a mole and it will regrow again. They checked it and it was not cancerous. So yes, it will regrow again and I am worried because of the aspect. I want to be sure it is a mole, not a wart because it looks to be having papillary tissue. HPV+ aggressive type (condyloma in the genital area) eight years back. No more episodes of HPV. HIV negative and no other diseases. | non-urgent |

STUDY OBJECTIVES To assess the general subjective sleep quality in individuals with and without TMD, and its distribution among the TMD diagnostic groups. METHODS A systematic review search was performed in Pubmed/MEDLINE, Embase, LILACS, Web of Science, SciELO, CINAHL and Cochrane Central as well as in the grey literature. Observational studies published since 1992 which used either the DC/TMD or RDC/TMD for TMD diagnosis and either the PSQI, SAQ or ESS questionnaires for sleep assessment were included. Articles selected for meta-analysis underwent quality, heterogeneity, and publication bias evaluation. RESULTS A total of 1,071 articles were found by online search, and ten articles were added manually. For full-text reading, 138 papers were selected. Thirty-six articles were included in the final review, and 19 in the meta-analysis (PSQI only). Subjective sleep quality was shown to be associated with all RDC/TMD or DC/TMD Axis I diagnostic groups: muscle disorders, arthralgia/osteoarthritis/osteoarthrosis, and disc displacements; with the highest association in the first two groups, and the lowest in the last one. A 4.45 times increased odds ratio of TMD prevalence was found for individuals who presented poor subjective sleep quality. CONCLUSION Subjective sleep quality should be considered in the management of TMD. | non-urgent |

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted cancer care. An audit at a major Paediatric Oncology Department in Turkey was performed to determine its impact on paediatric cancer care. A comparison was made among the number of daily paediatric cancer patients, diagnostic and treatment procedures. The data for the ‘COVID-19 period’ (10 March to 31 October 2020) were compared with the corresponding ‘prior year control period’ (10 March to 31 October 2019). Moreover, presentation delay (duration between first symptoms to healthcare visit) was calculated for new cases. The findings indicate that the mean 34.7 outpatients per day during ‘COVID-19 period’ was significantly lower than the ‘prior year control period’ (52.2). There were 17.7 inpatients per day during the ‘COVID-19 period’ which was significantly lower than 23.8 inpatients per day during the ‘prior year control period’. Significant reduction in the daily mean number of patients undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery and imaging studies during the ‘COVID-19 period’ was also evident. A negative trend in the diagnosis of new paediatric cancers was evident with 128 new cancer cases during the ‘COVID-19 period’, whereas the corresponding number was 212 for the ‘prior year control period’. The presentation delay (median 31 days) remain unchanged during the ‘COVID-19 period’. The findings suggest significant damage to paediatric cancer care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Appropriate obligatory actions by oncology societies and policymakers can minimise longer term negative impacts. | urgent |

I am taking xeloda for my cancer treatment 2 weeks on and one week off the xeloda. On the week I m off i still think its the patch that makes me feel nausea and vomit . Cause that week I m off the chemo I still vomit so the only thing I m using is the fentanyl patch. I was using the 75 mcg but then 1 week ago I lowered it to 50 because I m afraid to just stop it once and I will feel the withdrawals. How can I get off the fentanyl patch completely. Oh the patch I used it for my aching back and shoulders. I took Ondansetron 8 mg but still don t help. So I stopped taking it cause when I did I actually vomited as well. So I stopped taking it. I have the feeling the patch is causing the nausea but I m afraid of the withdrawals symptoms if I suddenly stop. What can I do, I want get off the patch. | urgent |

Hi, i am a 19 year old girl and lately i have many pain in my under belly and I went to the doctor today and asked him what was that pain(at the bottom left of my belly.). and he told me that my ovaries were so hurt. And I was so scared, because it really does hurt. I must tomorrow go to my house-doctor. And he will send me to a specialist. I have for many years, had a pain in my belly under. The pain came 2 to 3 times a year, but so hard, that I once went to the hospital, and did ECO-test and many tests, but probably I never had anything. Until now approximately 4 years after all of the strange pain that only comes so suddenly, they tell me that the pain in my ovaries may be. Now the question is ... what could it be because Im really scared .... And I had pain for many years under my entire belly, but know is it specifically on my lower left abdomen. | non-urgent |

I have what the dr described as a serious form of celiac 7 years ago. For the past 3 months I have mid abdominal pain 3 hours after eating first meal of the day that lasts until I go to bed at night. was Today I was dx today as pancreatitis. The dr said to eat no meat for a week and he will rerun the blood work. amylase is 153, sonogram showed unremarkable . I did notice my esionophils and monocytes are elevated which makes me think auto immune again like the celiac.

In this work, we estimate the total number of infected and deaths by COVID-19 in Brazil and two Brazilian States (Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo). To obtain the unknown data, we use an iterative method in the Gompertz model, whose formulation is well known in the field of biology. Based on data collected from the Ministry of Health from February 26, 2020, to July 2, 2020, we predict, from July 3 to 9 and at the end of the epidemic, the number of infected and killed for the whole country and for the Brazilian states of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. We estimate, until July 9, 2020, a total of 1,709,755 cases and 65,384 deaths in Brazil, 331,718 cases and 15,621 deaths in Sao Paulo, 134,454 cases and 11,574 deaths in Rio de Janeiro. We also estimate the basic reproduction number [Formula: see text] for Brazil and its two states. The estimated values [Formula: see text] were 1.3, 1.3, and 1.4 for Brazil, Sao Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro, respectively. The results show a good fit between the observed data and those obtained by the Gompertz. The proposed methodology can also be applied to other countries and Brazilian states, and we provide an executable as well as the source code for a straightforward application of the method on such data. | non-urgent |

AIMS: As the world continues to fight successive waves of COVID-19 variants, we have seen worldwide infections surpass 100 million. London, UK, has been severely affected throughout the pandemic, and the resulting impact on the NHS has been profound. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on theatre productivity across London’s four major trauma centres (MTCs), and to assess how the changes to normal protocols and working patterns impacted trauma theatre efficiency. METHODS: This was a collaborative study across London’s MTCs. A two-month period was selected from 5 March to 5 May 2020. The same two-month period in 2019 was used to provide baseline data for comparison. Demographic information was collected, as well as surgical speciality, procedure, time to surgery, type of anaesthesia, and various time points throughout the patient journey to theatre. RESULTS: In total, 1,243 theatre visits were analyzed as part of the study. Of these, 834 patients presented in 2019 and 409 in 2020. Fewer open reduction and internal fixations were performed in 2020 (33.5% vs 38.2%), and there was an increase in the number of orthoplastic cases in 2020 (8.3% vs 2.2%), both statistically significant results (p < 0.000). There was a statistically significant increase in median time from 2019 to 2020, between sending for a patient and their arrival to the anaesthetic room (29 vs 35 minutes; p = 0.000). Median time between arrival in the anaesthetic room and commencement of anaesthetic increased (7 to 9 minutes; p = 0.104). CONCLUSION: Changes in working practices necessitated by COVID-19 led to modest delays to all aspects of theatre use, and consequently theatre efficiency. However, the reality is that the major concerns of impact of service did not occur to the levels that were expected. Cite this article: Bone Jt Open 2021;2(10):886–892. | non-urgent |

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has mobilized many efforts worldwide to curb its impact on morbidity and mortality. Vaccination of the general population has resulted in the administration of more than 6,700,000,000 doses by the end of October 2021, which is the most effective method to prevent hospitalization and death. Among the adverse effects described, myocarditis and pericarditis are low-frequency events (less than 10 per 100,000 people), mainly observed with messenger RNA vaccines. The mechanisms responsible for these effects have not been specified, considering an exacerbated and uncontrolled immune response and an autoimmune response against specific cardiomyocyte proteins. This greater immunogenicity and reactogenicity is clinically manifested in a differential manner in pediatric patients, adults, and the elderly, determining specific characteristics of its presentation for each age group. It generally develops as a condition of mild to moderate severity, whose symptoms and imaging findings are self-limited, resolving favorably in days to weeks and, exceptionally, reporting deaths associated with this complication. The short- and medium-term prognosis is favorable, highlighting the lack of data on long-term evolution, which should be determined in longer follow-ups. | non-urgent |

Background: The number of COVID-19 infections worldwide has reached 10 million COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 is more contagious than SARS-CoV-1 There is a dispute about the origin of COVID-19 Study results showed that all SARS-CoV-2 sequences around the world share a common ancestor towards the end of 2019 Methods: Virus sequences from COVID-19 samples at the early time should be less diversifiable than those from samples at the later time because there might be more mutations when the virus evolutes over time The diversity of virus nucleotide sequences can be measured by the nucleotide substitution distance To explore the diversity of SARS-CoV-2, we use different nucleotide substitution models to calculate the distances of SARS-CoV-2 samples from 3 different areas, China, Europe, and the USA Then, we use these distances to infer the origin of COVID-19 Results: It is known that COVID-19 originated in Wuhan China and then spread to Europe and the USA By using different substitution models, the distances of SARS-CoV-2 samples from these areas are significantly different By ANOVA testing, the p-value is less than 2 2e-16 The analyzed results in most substitution models show that China has the lowest diversity, followed by Europe and lastly by the USA This outcome coincides with the virus transmission time order that SARS-CoV-2 starts in China, then outbreaks in Europe and finally in the USA Conclusion: The magnitude of nucleotide substitution distance of SARS-CoV-2 is closely related to the transmission time order of SARS-CoV-2 This outcome reveals that the nucleotide substitution distance of SARS-CoV-2 may be used to infer the origin of COVID-19 | non-urgent |

I have been having pain (most of the time it's dull and achy, sometimes it's sharp, lasting seconds to minutes) in the upper right quadrant of my belly (where the gallbladder is) since January 2010. I have been to my PCP, GI specialist, and ER a number of times. I've had a hida-scan, ultrasound, CAT scan, MRI, x-ray series, upper endoscopy, blood, urine, and stool tests. All came back normal (the upper endoscopy showed some acid reflux damage and a hiatal hernia). No one can seem to figure out what is causing the pain. Food, exercise, time of day, or anything else seems to be a trigger. I can still feel pain after taking Vicodin. It just comes and goes. What else can be done? | non-urgent |

My husband had an ileocolectomy 4/4/10 and nine weeks after that he had an internal abscess that needed to be aspirated. A couple weeks after that he was in the hospital for an infection, but no abscess was seen at time. A couple weeks after that, he had an abscess that surface by where the incision was and had to be cut and drained. That was in the beginning of June and he periodically has to open it to drain and still drains quiet a lot. The surgeons nurse practioner has been seeing him and says it could take month to heal. Does that sound right to you? | non-urgent |

Hi, my name Is Carlie. Im a 25 year old female and ive been having these symptoms for about 5 months now. All my blood tests came back fine and so did my stool sample. I have been sent a referal to a neurologist but I am starting to feel im losing my mind. Ive lost weight going from 65kg to 56kg in 3 months without change to my diet. Although I am not feeling hungry as much as usual im making sure im eating. I did have diarrhea for about 6 weeks where I was going to the toilet 20+ times a day with no found medical reason. Having no recolection of important things people have told me. Trouble concentrating on things. Unable to go with the flow of conversation and forgetting what im saying halfway through. Hot flushes like someone has poured a bucket of warm/hot water on my head and it flows down my whole body. Fainting spells where I feel like im shaking. Zoning out when talking to people. Friends and family have commented on how I constantly repeat myself during one conversation or telling then the same thing multiple times because I didnt remember telling them or stand there staring. Nausea and vomitting (not always together). Some severe headaches (about 8 in this time frame) I feel like its hard to focus my eyes and am seeing white spots and lines sometimes very bright white. Hot feet at night. Sweating even though I feel cold to touch. I have suffered from anxiety before but do not believe this is because of that. Ive never felt more in control of my mental health. I feel like im living in another world and its starting to effect my everyday life. I do not drink any alcohol or do drugs. I am no longer on any medication but did take anti psychotics to help me sleep for about 2 months in this time frame but it started before and continued after use. Thank you in advance for your time | non-urgent |

In this study, we aim to identify predictors of a no-show in neurology clinics at our institution. We conducted a retrospective review of neurology clinics from July 2013 through September 2018. We compared odds ratio of patients who missed appointments (no-show) to those who were present at appointments (show) in terms of age, lead-time, subspecialty, race, gender, quarter of the year, insurance type, and distance from hospital. There were 60,012 (84%) show and 11,166 (16%) no-show patients. With each day increase in lead time, odds of no-show increased by a factor of 1.0019 (p < 0.0001). Odds of no-show were higher in younger (p ≤ 0.0001, OR = 0.49) compared to older (age ≥ 60) patients and in women (p < 0.001, OR = 1.1352) compared to men. They were higher in Black/African American (p < 0.0001, OR = 1.4712) and lower in Asian (p = 0.03, OR = 0.6871) and American Indian/Alaskan Native (p = 0.055, OR = 0.6318) as compared to White/Caucasian. Patients with Medicare (p < 0.0001, OR = 1.5127) and Medicaid (p < 0.0001, OR = 1.3354) had higher odds of no-show compared to other insurance. Young age, female, Black/African American, long lead time to clinic appointments, Medicaid/Medicare insurance, and certain subspecialties (resident and stroke clinics) are associated with high odds of no show. Possible suggested interventions include better communication and flexible appointments for the high-risk groups as well as utilizing telemedicine. | non-urgent |

I have had pain and discomfort in my lower left abdomen for about a week now. It started as a bulging discomfort now more of a shooting pain. I went to the ER and they took blood, urine sample, and did a CT scan. CT scan was normal and the doctor said there was some bacteria in my urine. I went to a GI and he spent all of 5 minutes with me and scheduled a colonoscopy. Prior to this I took some Pepto Bismol and Kaopectate to control diarrhea. Im starting to wonder if maybe its an infection since all tests have come back clean? Any ideas? | non-urgent |

The COVID-19 outbreak leads to the sudden lockdown of sports businesses across the world. Due to the difficulty of generating sports content as usual amid the global pandemic, some sports organizations around the world, resort to esports. Concretely, sports organizations let their professional athletes compete virtually in video games to produce competitive entertainment for the audience. Such "mixed" competitive entertainment attracts a high spectatorship and significant social media attention. This commentary seeks to provide a research-based explanation of the phenomenon and predict future developments. | non-urgent |

My daughter has just returned from two week rehabilitation course from stanmore hospital for recurrent shoulder dislocations due to muscle patterning problems and loose shoulder joints due to hypermobility. She did extremely well and they were able to put her right shoulder back in joint (it had been out of joint for two months). Since returning home (and just before we left stanmore) she felt nauseous, light headed and seriously lacking in energy. She is complaining of lower back pain and her period is very heavy this month. Our g.p. prescribed an anti-sickness tablet which seems to make her symptoms of dizziness worse. | non-urgent |
OBJECTIVES: To compare the clinical and epidemiological aspects associated with different predominant lineages circulating in Marseille from March 2020 to January 2021. METHODS: In this single-center retrospective cohort study, characteristics of patients infected with four different SARS-CoV-2 variants were documented from medical files. The outcome was the occurrence of clinical failure, defined as hospitalization (for outpatients), transfer to the intensive-care unit (inpatients), and death (all). RESULTS: 254 patients were infected with clade 20A (20AS), 85 with Marseille-1 (M1V), 190 with Marseille-4 (M4V) and 211 with N501Y (N501YV) variants. 20AS presented a bell-shaped epidemiological curve and nearly disappeared around May 2020. M1V reached a very weak peak, then disappeared after a month-and-a-half. M4V appeared in July presented an atypical wave form during seven months. N501YV has only recently appeared. As compared to 20AS, patients infected with M1V were less likely to report dyspnoea (aOR=0.50, p=0.04), rhinitis (aOR=0.57, p=0.04) and to be hospitalised (aOR=0.22, p=0.002). Patients infected with M4V were more likely to report fever than those with 20AS and M1V (aOR=2.49, p<0.0001 and aOR=2.30, p=0.007, respectively) and to be hospitalised than those with M1V (aOR=4.81, p=0.003). Patients infected with N501YV reported lower rate of rhinitis (aOR=0.50, p=0.001) and anosmia (aOR=0.57, p=0.02), as compared to those infected with 20AS. A lower rate of hospitalisation associated with N501YV infection as compared to 20AS and M4V (aOR=0.33, p<0.0001 and aOR=0.27, p<0.0001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: The four lineages have presentations which differ from one other, epidemiologically and clinically. This supports SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance through next-generation sequencing. | non-urgent |
