Influenza A, like Omicron SARS-CoV-2, Is Similarly Detected in Saliva or Nasopharyngeal Samples via RT-qPCR.

After the Coronavirus pandemic, the importance of virus surveillance was highlighted, reinforcing the constant necessity of discussing and updating the methods for collection and diagnoses, including for other respiratory viruses. Although the nasopharyngeal swab is the gold-standard sample for detecting and genotyping SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza viruses, its collection is uncomfortable and requires specialized teams, which can be costly. During the pandemic, non-invasive saliva samples proved to be a suitable alternative for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis, but for Influenza virus the use of this sample source is not recognized yet. In addition, most SARS-CoV-2 comparisons were conducted before the Omicron variant emerged. Here, we aimed to compare Influenza A and Omicron RT-qPCR analysis of nasopharyngeal swabs and saliva self-collection in paired samples from 663 individuals. We found that both nasopharyngeal swab and saliva collection are efficient for the diagnosis of Omicron (including sub-lineages) and for Influenza A, with high sensitivity and accuracy (>90%). The kappa index is 0.938 for Influenza A and 0.905 for SARS-CoV-2. These results showed excellent agreement between the two samples reinforcing saliva samples as a reliable source for detecting Omicron and highlighting saliva as a valid sample source for Influenza detection, considering this cheaper and more comfortable alternative.

A Rare Case of Mediastinal Mass: Thymoma and Thymic Tumor.

Thymomas and thymic carcinomas are rare mediastinal neoplasms arising from thymic epithelial cells, and the presence of synchronous or metachronous primary thymic neoplasms in a single patient is an extremely rare event. Thymoma patients appear to have an inherent predisposition toward developing additional neoplasms. This additionally presents a diagnostic challenge, revealing the importance of multidisciplinary expertise to the management of these patients. This is a case report of a patient with a thymoma and thymic carcinoma, submitted to surgical resection and postoperative radiotherapy.

Palliative Care in Advanced Liver Disease: Similar or Different Palliative Care Needs in Patients with a Prospect of Transplantation? Prospective Study from a Portuguese University Hospital and Transplantation Center.

Background and Aims: End-stage liver disease (ESLD) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality, comparable to a large extent to other organ insufficiencies. The need for palliative care (PC) in patients with ESLD is high. In Portugal, in the only identified study, more than 80% of patients hospitalized with ESLD had criteria for PC. No results specified which needs they identified or their transplantation prospect status. Methods: Prospective observational study including 54 ESLD patients who presented to a university hospital and transplantation center, between November 2019 and September 2020. Assessment of their PC needs through the application of NECPAL CCOMS-ICO© and IPOS, considering their transplantation perspective status. Results: Of the 54 patients, 5 (9.3%) were on active waiting list for transplantation and 8 (14.8%) under evaluation. NECPAL CCOMS-ICO© identified 23 patients (n = 42.6%) that would benefit from PC. Assessment of PC needs by clinicians, functional markers and significant comorbidities were the most frequent criteria (47.8%, n = 11). IPOS also revealed a different sort of needs: on average, each patient identified about 9 needs (8.9 ±2.8). Among the symptoms identified, weakness (77.8%), reduced mobility (70.3%), and pain (48.1%) stood out, as well as the psychoemotional symptoms of depression (66.7%) and anxiety (77.8%). There were no significant differences between the subgroups of patients analyzed. Only 4 patients (7.4%) were followed by the PC team. Conclusion: All the ESLD patients included, independently of the group they belonged to, presented with PC needs. No significant differences between the subgroups of patients were identified, confirming that even patients with a transplantation prospect have important needs for PC.

Introdução e objetivos: A doença hepática avançada (DHA) é uma causa importante de morbilidade e mortalidade, comparável em grande medida a outras insuficiências de órgão. A necessidade de cuidados paliativos (CP) em doentes com DHA é elevada. Em Portugal, no único estudo identificado até ao momento, mais de 80% dos doentes hospitalizados com DHA apresentavam critérios para CP. Não foram especificadas que necessidades de CP nem a perspetiva de transplante dos referidos doentes, que com o presente estudo se pretende ajudar a esclarecer. Métodos: Estudo prospectivo observacional incluindo 54 doentes com DHA assistidos num hospital universitário e centro de transplante, entre novembro de 2019 e setembro de 2020. Avaliação das necessidades de CP por meio da aplicação do NECPAL CCOMS-ICO© e IPOS, considerando a sua perspectiva de transplante. Resultados: Dos 54 doentes, cinco (9,3%) estavam em lista de espera ativa para transplante e oito (14,8%) em avaliação. O NECPAL CCOMS-ICO© identificou 23 doentes (n = 42,6%) que beneficiariam de CP. A avaliação das necessidades de CP por médicos, os marcadores funcionais e as comorbidades significativas foram os critérios mais frequentes (47,8%, n = 11). O IPOS também revelou diversas necessidades de CP: em média, cada doente identificou cerca de 9 necessidades (8,9 + −2,8). Entre os sintomas identificados, destacaram-se a fraqueza (77,8%), a mobilidade reduzida (70,3%) e a dor (48,1%), bem como os sintomas psicoemocionais de depressão (66,7%) e ansiedade (77,8%). Não houve diferenças significativas entre os subgrupos de doentes analisados. Apenas 4 doentes (7,4%) foram acompanhados pela equipa intra-hospitalar de CP. Conclusão: Todos os doentes com DHA incluídos, independentemente do grupo a que pertenciam, apresentaram necessidades de CP. Não foram identificadas diferenças significativas entre os subgrupos de doentes, confirmando que mesmo os doentes com perspectiva de transplante têm importantes necessidades de CP.

Anxiety and depression among nursing students during the COVID-19 lockdown: A cross-sectional correlational study.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence and levels of anxiety and depression symptoms among nursing students during the coronavirus lockdown, and to examine factors associated with higher levels of anxiety and depression on this population. BACKGROUND: Nursing students deal with diverse stressors during their university lives. Confinement measures during COVID-19 outbreak may have influenced students' mental health and well-being. Anxiety and depression are common among nursing students due to different factors. Evidence relating to anxiety and depression in nursing student population during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is limited. DESIGN: A cross-sectional descriptive co-relational study during the lockdown due to the coronavirus outbreak in Spain was conducted. METHODS: An online questionnaire was developed by using google forms. Sociodemographic characteristics form, and the Spanish version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were used. Spanish nursing students across the country were enrolled. Data collection was performed between 4 April 2020 and 21 April 2020. A multivariate analysis was performed to determine the association between sociodemographic variables, COVID-19 and HADS scores. RESULTS: 1319 participants were enrolled. The sample was formed by 87.1% female students with a mean age of 22 years (SD ± 5.677). We found a mean score of 8.47 ± 4.104 on Scale HADS-Anxiety and 6.80 ± 2.988 on HADS-Depression. 31.6% students presented abnormal scores of anxiety symptoms, and only 11.4% participants revealed abnormal scores on HADS-Depression. CONCLUSIONS: The reported prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms on nursing students during the COVID-19 lockdown is 56.4% and 38.2%, respectively. 43.6% of the sample scored normal anxiety levels, and 61.8% obtained normal depression levels. Higher anxiety and depression levels were statistically associated with being a first-year student, being a smoker, feeling fear, feeling stress and having any close family member infected. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: These data should be valuable for detection and for further treatment decision of this disorders at the initial stage and could be important to prevent further damages to mental health and promote physical, psychological and well-being among this population.

Case Report and Literature Review of Cardiac Amyloidosis: A Not-So-Rare Cause of Heart Failure.

Restrictive cardiomyopathy secondary to cardiac amyloidosis is an underdiagnosed cause of heart failure and it is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The most common types of amyloidosis are light chain amyloidosis, transthyretin amyloidosis and secondary amyloidosis. We report the case of a 84-year-old man that presented with new onset signs and symptoms of heart failure. Multimodality imaging with echocardiogram and bone tracer cardiac scintigraphy along with biomarkers, monoclonal proteins analysis and genetic test allowed to diagnosed a wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis. We discuss the clinical and diagnostic features and review the current literature about cardiac amyloidosis. This paper aims to increase clinicians' awareness of cardiac amyloidosis to promptly recognize, diagnose and treat it.

Brain metastasis from calcitonin-negative medullary thyroid carcinoma.

INTRODUCTION: Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a primary neuroendocrine tumor derived from parafollicular cells or C-cells of the thyroid gland. It accounts for 1% to 10% of all thyroid cancers and is the second most aggressive thyroid cancer after undifferentiated thyroid carcinoma. Serum calcitonin and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) concentrations are widely used as biomarkers to facilitate diagnosis and follow-up. However, in rare cases, serum levels of calcitonin or CEA can be normal. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 64-year-old male patient with MTC who presented brain metastasis and normal preoperative serum levels of calcitonin and CEA. The patient underwent total thyroidectomy with central compartment lymph-node dissection, resection of the single brain metastasis, and adjuvant holo-cranial radiotherapy. At 30 months' follow-up, he maintained normal serum calcitonin and CEA levels with increased procalcitonin levels. CONCLUSION: We describe a rare case of "calcitonin-negative" MTC with brain metastasis. The pathophysiology underlying normal serum levels of calcitonin in MTC is still not clearly understood. The lack of effective serum biomarkers for these patients makes diagnosis and treatment challenging.

A Rare Case of Thoracoabdominal Paraganglioma: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors. Pheochromocytomas are derived from chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla, while paragangliomas arise from the extra-adrenal autonomic paraganglia. Paragangliomas can derive from either parasympathetic or sympathetic paraganglia. The majority of parasympathetic ganglia-derived paragangliomas are nonfunctional and symptoms arise from mass effect, while sympathetic paragangliomas are frequently functional and present with symptoms that result from catecholamine hypersecretion. Here, we present the case of a 19-year-old female with hypertension whose biochemical tests revealed elevated plasma and urinary levels of norepinephrine and normetanephrine. Imaging studies showed a left paravertebral mass which was surgically removed. Histopathology confirmed a paraganglioma. Total surgical resection remains the gold-standard treatment and a cure can be achieved; however, all tumors may harbor malignant potential, and a long-term biochemical and imaging follow-up is required in all patients. Screening for genetic germline mutations may be helpful in identifying patients with a higher risk of recurrence or of developing other primary tumors.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the factors associated with mental distress among health workers who cared for patients with a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). METHODS: A cross-sectional analytical study of national scope, carried out between in the second quarter of 2020. A total of 437 health professionals, who filled out an electronic form about sociodemographic data, occupational aspects, psychosocial characteristics of work and mental distress. Multiple logistic regression was performed to analyze the covariables associated with mental distress. RESULTS: There was a predominance of workers on the nursing team (65.0%), female (71.0%), from Southeastern region of the country (68.6%) and with no morbidities (36.2%). The prevalence of mental distress was 61.6%. Job strain was reported by 24% of participants, and the perception of low support from coworkers was described by 52.9%. The final multiple regression model showed that mental distress was associated with females (odds ratio - OR: 1.93; 95%CI: 1.22-3.07), age up to 40 years (OR: 1.64; 95%CI: 1.07-2.52), weekly working hours equal or over 60 hours (OR: 1.87; 95%CI: 1.15-3.11), job strain (OR: 2.45; 95%CI: 1.41-4.40) and low support from co-workers (OR: 3.47; 95%CI: 2.26-5.38). CONCLUSION: Six out of ten participants presented mental distress, which was associated to both individual characteristics and factors related to the work carried out during the pandemic. There is an urgent need to map services that have such characteristics, to outline actions to promote mental health and prevent emotional distress at different levels of health care.

Prevalence of COVID-19 testing among health workers providing care for suspected and confirmed cases.

OBJECTIVES: To describe the prevalence of testing among health workers providing care for suspected and confirmed cases of COVID-19. METHODS: This quantitative, cross-sectional study was conducted from April to June 2020, using a convenience sample. An online questionnaire was used for collecting sociodemographic, occupational, and clinical data, which were analyzed descriptively. RESULTS: In total, 437 health workers participated in the study, with a predominance of nursing workers (58.68%), women (70.3%), age between 30 and 49 years (54.2%), individuals living in the Southeast region of Brazil (60.54%), working in the public care system (69.11%), and focused on primary care (30.89%). Among the participants, 36% reported comorbidities, 21.1% had symptoms suggestive of COVID-19, and only 27% had undergone some type of COVID-19 testing. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the existence of risk comorbidities and symptoms suggestive of contamination, the frequency of testing was below one third among respondents. The lack of action compromises health surveillance and protection strategies for workers providing care for the population and may favor the contamination of new patients and the community.
