The TSR in the Forest Region of Guinea remained below the WHO goal of 90%. Reaching this target remains a challenge in rural areas with high early mortality and increased risk of loss to follow-up.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of lower respiratory infection among children and no vaccine is available. The stabilized form of the fusion (F) protein - pre-F - is a leading vaccine candidate to target different populations, including pregnant women. This study aimed to determine the magnitude and nature of RSV-directed maternal antibodies (matAbs) in hospitalized children with RSV infection.

Sixty-five paired blood samples were collected from RSV-infected children aged <6 months and their corresponding mothers. All pairs were screened for levels of pre-F and post-F antibodies using ELISA. The neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) in both groups were measured in vitro against mKate RSV-A2 using H28 cells.

It was found that 14% of matAbs (log
12.8) were present in infants at hospitalization, with an average log
EP titer of 10.2 directed to both F-protein conformations. Additionally, 61.4% of maternal NAbs (log
EC
 = 9.4) were detected in infants (log
EC
 = 8.7), which were mostly pre-F exclusive (81%). SKF38393 Pre-F antibodies in children showed a positive correlation with matAbs titers and negative correlations with age and bronchiolitis score.

The maintenance of neutralizing activity in infants relative to maternal titers was greater than the maintenance of antibody binding based on ELISA, suggesting that higher-potency antibodies may have a longer half-life than weakly neutralizing antibodies.

BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 vaccine has shown an optimal protection for population. However the development of SARS-CoV-2 infection has been reported in persons, who have received one or both doses of vaccine. The Hospital Universitario de Canarias began to vaccinate to healthcare workers on Febraury, 2021. We have detected several asymptomatic cases of SARS-CoV2 infections in healthcare workers.

We performed PCR on health staff at our Centre after the two doses of vaccination, which were realized by screening in close contact with positive cases, new addition to the hospital or a requirement before traveling to another region in the country. In positive cases we determined the quantitative IgG (post-vaccine Spike1-RBD and nucleocapside) and IgM (Spike1-RBD).

We detected five cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection in properly vaccinated healthcare workers after 15 days of the second dose vaccine. All cases had high Cts values and were asymptomatics. The Post-vaccine IgG level was between 778.9-4,420.7 BAU/ml.

This communication reflects how vaccination protected healthcare workers from disease; however, it remains to be analyzed the transmissibility of virus after vaccination. We consider the importance of preserving, at the moment, prevention measures against SARS-CoV-2 virus in the hospital environment, mainly by vaccinated healthcare staff.

Despite this, few studies exist to evaluate clinical trial recruitment strategies using a randomized approach in any population, and none exist to test recruitment strategies for trials involving children or rural populations. For clinical trials focused on weight control, evaluating retention and dose are extremely important, as poor retention can lead to biased samples and existing research shows that dose (i.e. contact hours) is directly related to patient outcome. Finally, adequacy of blinding of assessment teams is rarely reported in pediatric trials, and unblinded staff may be more likely to inadvertently bias findings. Therefore, in this feasibility trial we aim to use rigorous clinical trial methodology to assess the effectiveness of two different recruitment strategies, as well as test retention, dose, and blinding. Specifically, we describe the rationale, design, and planned implementation of a feasibility study of a rural pediatric obesity treatment trial that will be implemented in four medical clinics in four states affiliated with the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes IDeA States Pediatric Clinical Trials Network (ECHO ISPCTN). The primary objective is to assess recruitment rate for consecutive recruitment (approaching recently seen eligible patients in consecutive order by date seen) compared to traditional recruitment (such as posters, flyers, tear-offs), as well as to assess retention, dose, and blinding. If successful, this trial will support the implementation of a large multi-state trial directed at addressing obesity in rural children and their families recruited from their primary care clinics.

To evaluate long-term anatomical and functional outcomes of the MICOF keratoprosthesis to treat end-stage corneal blindness.

Retrospective review of consecutive clinical case series.

Between October 2000 and October 2015, at the Department of Ophthalmology of Chinese PLA General Hospital (PLAGH), a total of 132 eyes of 131 patients had undergone a MICOF keratoprosthesis implantation. Of those, 91 eyes of 90 patients were included in this study.

Preoperative information, surgical procedures, and postoperative data were collected for each included eye.

Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), keratoprosthesis retention, and significant postoperative complications were reported.

The most common indications for surgery were chemical or thermal burns (68.1%, 62 of 91 eyes) and explosive injury (12.1%, 11 of 91 eyes), followed by Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (10.0%, 9 of 91 eyes), Sjögren's syndrome (4.4%, 4 of 91 eyes), mucous membrane pemphigoid (3.3%, 3 of 91 eyes) and multi-penetrating keratoplasty failure (2.
