Estimation of Incubation Period of Mpox during 2022 Outbreak in Pereira, Colombia.

We estimated the incubation period for mpox during an outbreak in Pereira, Colombia, using data from 11 confirmed cases. Mean incubation period was 7.1 (95% CI 4.9-9.9) days, consistent with previous outbreaks. Accurately estimating the incubation period provides insights into transmission dynamics, informing public health interventions and surveillance strategies.

Updated estimation of cutaneous leishmaniasis incubation period in French Guiana.

BACKGROUND: The cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) incubation period (IP) is defined as the time between parasite inoculation by sandfly bite and the onset of the first CL lesion. IP distribution is difficult to assess for CL because the date of exposure to an infectious bite cannot be accurately determined in endemic areas. IP current estimates for CL range from 14 days to several months with a median around 30-60 days, as established by a few previous studies in both New and Old Worlds. METHODOLOGY: We estimated CL incubation period distribution using time-to-event models adapted to interval-censored data based on declared date of travels from symptomatic military personnel living in non-endemic areas that were exposed during their short stays in French Guiana (FG) between January 2001 and December 2021. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: A total of 180 patients were included, of which 176 were men (97.8%), with a median age of 26 years. When recorded, the parasite species was always Leishmania guyanensis (31/180, 17.2%). The main periods of CL diagnosis spread from November to January (84/180, 46.7%) and over March-April (54/180, 30.0%). The median IP was estimated at 26.2 days (95% Credible Level, 23.8-28.7 days) using a Bayesian accelerated failure-time regression model. Estimated IP did not exceed 62.1 days (95% CI, 56-69.8 days) in 95% of cases (95th percentile). Age, gender, lesion number, lesion evolution and infection date did not significantly modify the IP. However, disseminated CL was significantly associated with a 2.8-fold shortening of IP. CONCLUSIONS: This work suggests that the CL IP distribution in French Guiana is shorter and more restricted than anticipated. As the incidence of CL in FG usually peaks in January and March, these findings suggest that patients are contaminated at the start of the rainy season.

Saúde mental e atuação de psicólogos hospitalares brasileiros na pandemia da covid-19 / Health and works of brazilian hospital psychologists in the covid-19 pandemic / Salud mental y actuación de psicólogos en hospitales brasileños en la pandemia del covid-19

Em março de 2020 a situação causada pela covid-19 foi elevada à categoria de pandemia, impactando de inúmeras formas a vida em sociedade. O objetivo deste estudo foi compreender os impactos da pandemia na atuação e saúde mental do psicólogo hospitalar, profissional que atua nos espaços de saúde e tem experienciado mais de perto o sofrimento dos doentes e dos profissionais de saúde frente à covid-19. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório-descritivo com 131 psicólogos que atuam em hospitais. Os profissionais foram convidados a participar através de redes sociais e redes de contatos das pesquisadoras, utilizando-se a técnica Bola de Neve. Foram utilizados dois questionários, disponibilizados na plataforma Google Forms, um abordando os impactos da pandemia sentidos pelos profissionais e outro referente ao sofrimento psíquico. Os dados foram analisados a partir de estatísticas descritivas e inferenciais. Foram observados impactos na atuação de quase a totalidade dos participantes, constatada a necessidade de preparação dos profissionais para o novo cenário, a percepção de pouco apoio institucional e quase metade da população estudada referiu-se a sintomas de sofrimento psíquico considerável desde o início da pandemia. É fundamental dar atenção a sinais e sintomas de sofrimento psíquico, procurando evitar o adoecimento de uma categoria profissional que se encontra na linha de frente do combate aos danos psicológicos da pandemia e cuja própria saúde mental é pouco abordada na literatura.(AU)

In March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic breakout hugely impacted life in society. This study analyzes how the pandemic impacted hospital psychologists' mental health and performance, professional who more closely experienced the suffering of patients and health professionals in this period. An exploratory and descriptive study was conducted with 131 hospital psychologists. Professionals were invited to participate through the researchers' social and contact networks using the Snowball technique. Data were collected by two questionnaires available on the Google Forms platform, one addressing the impacts felt by professionals and the other regarding psychic suffering, and analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. Results showed that almost all participants had their performance affected by the need to prepare for the new scenario, the perceived little institutional support. Almost half of the study sample reported considerable psychological distress symptoms since the beginning of the pandemic. Paying attention to signs and symptoms of psychic suffering is fundamental to avoid compromising a professional category that is on the front line of combating the psychological damage caused by the pandemic and whose own mental health is little addressed by the literature.(AU)

En marzo de 2020, la situación provocada por el COVID-19 se caracterizó como pandemia e impactó el mundo de diversas maneras. El objetivo de este estudio fue comprender los impactos de la pandemia en la salud mental y la actuación del psicólogo en los hospitales, uno de los profesionales que trabaja en espacios sanitarios y que ha experimentado más de cerca el sufrimiento de pacientes y profesionales sanitarios frente al COVID-19. Este es un estudio exploratorio descriptivo, realizado con 131 psicólogos que trabajan en hospitales. Los profesionales recibieron la invitación a participar a través de las redes sociales y redes de contactos de las investigadoras, mediante la técnica snowball. Se utilizaron dos cuestionarios disponibles en la plataforma Google Forms: uno sobre los impactos de la pandemia en los profesionales y el otro sobre el sufrimiento psíquico. Los datos se analizaron a partir de estadísticas descriptivas e inferenciales. Se observaron impactos en el trabajo de casi todos los participantes, la necesidad de preparación de los profesionales para este nuevo escenario, la percepción de poco apoyo institucional, y casi la mitad de la población estudiada reportaron sentir síntomas de considerable angustia psicológica desde el inicio de la pandemia. Es esencial prestar atención a los signos y síntomas del sufrimiento psíquico, buscando evitar la enfermedad de una categoría profesional que está a la vanguardia de la lucha contra el daño psicológico de la pandemia y cuya propia salud mental se aborda poco en la literatura.(AU)

Eficacia antiparasitaria in vitro del extracto de quebracho (Schinopsis balansae) sobre larvas infectantes de Haemonchus contortus de ovinos / In vitro antiparasitic efficacy of the quebracho extract (Schinopsis balansae) on infecting larvae of Haemonchus contortus of sheep

RESUMEN El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar in vitro la eficacia del extracto de quebracho (Schinopsis spp.), rico en taninos condensados, en el control de H. contortus de ovinos, ya que existen evidencias de que estos taninos pueden reducir la excreción de huevos, la fecundidad de las hembras y la carga de parásitos adultos. Para evaluar el efecto antihelmíntico in vitro sobre larvas infectantes de H. contortus susceptibles a todos los grupos químicos, se utilizó el test de inhibición de migración larval (IML) a 3 concentraciones diferentes (5 mg/ml, 15 mg/ml y 30 mg/ml). El efecto de los tratamientos fue analizado mediante un análisis de varianza y la estimación de las diferencias entre grupos se realizó por medio de la prueba LSD Fisher. Los resultados del test in vitro demostraron una reducción de la migración larval que varió entre el 74% y el 80%, a las concentraciones de entre 5 mg/ml y 30 mg/ml. Del análisis de varianza surgen diferencias significativas entre tratamientos (p = 0,0494). Al realizar la prueba de comparación de medias se evidenciaron diferencias significativas (p < 0,05) entre los promedios de migración a las diluciones de 5 mg/ml y 15 mg/ml, y de 5 mg/ml y 30 mg/ml, mientras que no se detectaron diferencias significativas entre la dilución de 15 mg/ml y 30 mg/ml. Estos resultados señalaron que el extracto de quebracho, a las diluciones evaluadas in vitro, presentó actividad antihelmíntica sobre larvas L3 susceptibles de H. contortus. Sin embargo, se requiere ampliar los estudios in vivo para demostrar un efecto antihelmíntico en ovinos.

ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to evaluate in vitro efficacy of the quebracho extract (Schinopsis spp.), rich in condensed tannins, against H. contortus in sheep, since there is evidence that this tanninsthese tannins can reduce egg excretion, fecundity of females and the burden of adult parasites. A larval migration inhibition (IML) test with 3 different concentration (5 mg/ml, 15 mg/ml, and 30 mg/ml) was used to evaluate the in vitro anthelmintic effect upon iInfective H. contortus larvae,from a susceptible strain to all chemical groupswere utilized with 3 diferentconcentration (5mg/ml, 15mg/ml, and 30mg/ml). The effect of the treatments was submitted to a variance analysis and the estimation of the differences between groups was evaluated using LSD Fisher test. Results from the in vitro test, revealed a reduction of the larval migration that varies from 74% to 80%, at the concentrations between 5 mg/ml to 30 mg/ml. From the analysis of variance, significant differences appear between treatments (p = 0,0494). After When performing the mean comparison test were performed, significant differences (p < 0,05) were found between the migration averages at dilutions of 5 mg/ml and 15 mg/ml, and between 5 mg/ml and 30 mg/ml, while were no't detected significant differences between the dilution of 15 mg/ml and 30 mg/ml. These results indicated that quebracho extract at the dilutions evaluated in vitro showed anthelmintic activity on L3 susceptible to H. contortus. However, it is necessary to conduct further studies in vivo to demonstrate an anthelmintic effect in sheep.

The incubation period during the pandemic of COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: The aim of our study was to determine through a systematic review and meta-analysis the incubation period of COVID-19. It was conducted based on the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA). Criteria for eligibility were all published population-based primary literature in PubMed interface and the Science Direct, dealing with incubation period of COVID-19, written in English, since December 2019 to December 2020. We estimated the mean of the incubation period using meta-analysis, taking into account between-study heterogeneity, and the analysis with moderator variables. RESULTS: This review included 42 studies done predominantly in China. The mean and median incubation period were of maximum 8 days and 12 days respectively. In various parametric models, the 95th percentiles were in the range 10.3-16 days. The highest 99th percentile would be as long as 20.4 days. Out of the 10 included studies in the meta-analysis, 8 were conducted in China, 1 in Singapore, and 1 in Argentina. The pooled mean incubation period was 6.2 (95% CI 5.4, 7.0) days. The heterogeneity (I2 77.1%; p < 0.001) was decreased when we included the study quality and the method of calculation used as moderator variables (I2 0%). The mean incubation period ranged from 5.2 (95% CI 4.4 to 5.9) to 6.65 days (95% CI 6.0 to 7.2). CONCLUSIONS: This work provides additional evidence of incubation period for COVID-19 and showed that it is prudent not to dismiss the possibility of incubation periods up to 14 days at this stage of the epidemic.

Epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentations, diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19: a review of current evidence.

INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic has created a public health crisis, infected millions of people, and caused a significant number of deaths. SARS-CoV-2 transmits from person to person through several routes, mainly via respiratory droplets, which makes it difficult to contain its spread into the community. Here, we provide an overview of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of COVID-19. AREAS COVERED: Direct person-to-person respiratory transmission has rapidly amplified the spread of coronavirus. In the absence of any clinically proven treatment options, the current clinical management of COVID-19 includes symptom management, infection prevention and control measures, optimized supportive care, and intensive care support in severe or critical illness. Developing an effective vaccine is now a leading research priority. Some vaccines have already been approved by the regulatory authorities for the prevention of COVID-19. EXPERT OPINION: General prevention and protection measures regarding the containment and management of the second or third waves are necessary to minimize the risk of infection. Until now, four vaccines reported variable efficacies of between 62-95%, and two of them (Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna) received FDA emergency use authorization. Equitable access and effective distribution of these vaccines in all countries will save millions of lives.

Effect of Egg Weight and Patio Strategies on Hatching Traits and Subsequent Performance of the Broilers

Objectives of the present study were to assess the hatchery based interventions and their impact on hatching traits and subsequent performance of broilers. In total, 3000 eggs of Hubbard broiler breeders were equally divided into Small (50-55 g), Medium (56-61 g) and Large (62-70 g) eggs. The eggs from each category were distributed into 20 trays each containing 50 eggs. Each tray was considered as a replicate. At the end of the 18th day of incubation, the eggs of each weight category were divided into four different patio strategies i.e. P0, P3, P5 and P7 where feed and water were provided to the chicks for 0, 3, 5 and 7 days in the hatcher followed by conventional rearing. Data were collected for hatch window, hatching traits, growth, physical asymmetry, welfare and blood profile in broilers. Statistical analysis showed that the smaller eggs had significantly (P 0.05) shorter hatch window compared to larger and medium eggs. Hatching traits were significantly (p 0.05) better in medium eggs but the embryonic mortalities did not differ (p>0.05). The post-hatch performance was significantly (p 0.05) better in P3 birds from medium eggs. Physical asymmetry and scores of feather and gait were not affected by both treatments (p>0.05). Blood profile was also significantly (p 0.05) better in P3 birds from medium-size eggs. It was recommended that the eggs of 56-61g should be selected for better hatchability and the chicks should be provided with feed and water within the hatcher for at-least three days for optimum performance on rearing facility.(AU)

Incubation period and serial interval of Covid-19 in a chain of infections in Bahia Blanca (Argentina). / Período de incubación e intervalo serial para COVID-19 en una cadena de transmisión en Bahia Blanca (Argentina).

The objective of this work was to estimate the incubation period and the serial interval of Covid-19 from a sample of symptomatic patients in Bahia Blanca city during the period March-May 2020. We collected dates of illness onset for primary cases and secondary cases for the first 18 secondary patients infected with SARS-Cov-2. Estimations of incubation period are based on a log-normal distribution while we assume a Gamma distribution for the serial interval. In both cases maximum likelihood estimator was applied to estimate main parameters. Of the total of 18 cases of local transmission analyzed, 17% occurred in the presymptomatic and asymptomatic phase. The mean incubation period for symptomatic patients is 7.9 days (95%CI: 4.6, 11.1) considering the full sample and 7.5 days (95%CI: 4.1, 10.9) if the sample is restricted to the most certain cases. The median is 6.1 and 5.8 days respectively. The point estimation for the mean serial interval is 6.8 days (95%CI: 4.0-9.6). or 5.5 days (95%CI: 2.8, 8.1) for most certain pairs. The estimated median serial intervals were 5.2 and 4.1 days respectively. Comparisons with foreign estimates show that incubation period and serial interval could be longer in Bahia Blanca city than in other regions. Transmission from pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic is not negligible.

Control del Aedes aegypti en el escenario de transmisión simultánea de COVID-19. Directrices provisionales, versión 1 (21 de abril del 2020)

Los brotes de arbovirosis transmitidas por el Aedes aegypti regularmente sobrecargan los sistemas de salud, y la situación puede tornarse más grave en el 2020, con un escenario epidemiológico complejo de transmisión simultánea con la COVID-19. La detección temprana y la rápida atención médica a los pacientes con dengue grave u otras arbovirosis ha ayudado a reducir drásticamente la letalidad por estas enfermedades. Sin embargo, la realidad de la posible cocirculacion de dengue y COVID-19, en las Américas y en el mundo, impone nuevos desafíos para el tratamiento de casos que requieren atención inmediata. Asimismo, se desconoce el impacto en la salud humana de la coinfección de cualquiera de los virus DENV y del COVID-19. Debido a estos desafíos, es fundamental y prioritario que se realicen todos los esfuerzos necesarios para proteger a las poblaciones en riesgo e intentar reducir la cocirculación epidémica de ambos virus.
