Antcin K inhibits VCAM-1-dependent monocyte adhesion in human rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts
CONCLUSIONS: Antcin K seems promising for the treatment of RA and deserves further investigations.PMID:35783555 | PMC:PMC9210827 | DOI:10.29219/fnr.v66.8645

Severe strongyloidiasis: a systematic review of case reports
Conclusions: Proper screening (which must include serology) is mandatory in high - risk patients, for instance candidates to immunosuppressive medications, currently or previously living in endemic countries. In some cases, presumptive treatment might be justified. Ivermectin is the gold standard for treatment, although the optimal dosage is not clearly defined in case of HS/DS.

Frequency of the congenital transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Congenital transmission of Chagas disease is a global problem. Overall risk of congenital infection in infants born to infected mothers is about 5%. The congenital mode of transmission requires targeted screening to prevent future cases of Chagas disease. PMID: 23924273 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Pulmonary tuberculosis in severely-malnourished or HIV-infected children with pneumonia: a review.
Abstract Presentation of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) as acute pneumonia in severely-malnourished and HIV-positive children has received very little attention, although this is very important in the management of pneumonia in children living in communities where TB is highly endemic. Our aim was to identify confirmed TB in children with acute pneumonia and HIV infection and/or severe acute malnutrition (SAM) (weight-for-length/height or weight-for-age z score <-3 of the WHO median, or presence of nutritional oedema). We conducted a literature search, using PubMed and Web of Science in April 2013 for the period ...

Paper of the month: Anaemia policies in sub-Saharan Africa
This study evaluated the quality of these policies and the extent to which they were based on evidence relevant to the African context. Recommendations are made for improving the policy-making process. What have we done? A comprehensive and unrestricted database and website search for guidelines (as defined by WHO). We identified policies which targeted anaemia diagnosis, treatment and prevention in children and non-pregnant adolescents (18 years old) in Africa. Policy quality was assessed using   ‘The Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation instrument (AGREE II)’ without any adaptation. A search for high...

Endothelial Cell Permeability and Adherens Junction Disruption Induced by Junin Virus Infection.
In this study, we show that direct JUNV infection of primary human ECs results in increased vascular permeability as measured by electric cell substrate impedance sensing and Transwell permeability assays. We also show that EC adherens junctions are disrupted during virus infection, which may provide insight into the role of the endothelium in the pathogenesis of AHF and possibly, other viral hemorrhagic fevers.

Prevalence of HBV, HDV, HCV, and HIV infection during pregnancy in northern Benin
Pregnant women are not screened for HBsAg and anti‐HCV antibodies in many African countries. As there are few data concerning the prevalence of HBV, HDV, and HCV serological markers in Benin, the aim of this study was to evaluate their 2011 prevalence in pregnant women undergoing HIV screening in a rural area of north Benin, and compare the data with those reported for the same area in 1986. The sera of 283 women were examined for HBsAg, anti‐HBs, anti‐HBc, anti‐HCV, and anti‐HIV 1/2 antibodies. In the case of HBsAg positivity, a search was made for the HBeAg, anti‐HDV, and HBV genotypes; in the case of anti‐...

Rapid diagnostic tests for diagnosing uncomplicated non-falciparum or Plasmodium vivax malaria in endemic countries.
CONCLUSIONS: RDTs designed to detect P. vivax specifically, whether alone or as part of a mixed infection, appear to be more accurate than older tests designed to distinguish P. falciparum malaria from non-falciparum malaria. Compared to microscopy, these tests fail to detect around 5% ofP. vivax cases. This Cochrane Review, in combination with other published information about in vitro test performance and stability in the field, can assist policy-makers to choose between the available RDTs.
