Antibody levels were not maintained over many years. Although varicella was caused by the vaccine-type strain, repeated vaccinations may be necessary for post-transplant patients who develop varicella.

This was an informative case of varicella due to vaccine strain attenuated virus. Antibody levels were not maintained over many years. Although varicella was caused by the vaccine-type strain, repeated vaccinations may be necessary for post-transplant patients who develop varicella.

In this study, it is planned to compare the real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test, which is the gold standard in the diagnosis of COVID-19, with thorax computed tomography (CT) and rapid antibody test results.

Patients who were admitted to the emergency service of İzmir Çiğli Training and Research Hospital between 01.04.2020 and 31.05.2020 and who were suspected of having COVID-19 infection were included in the study. The medical records of the patients were retrospectively analysed through the hospital data processing database. Age, gender, hospitalisation, status of home quarantine, real-time RT-PCR, thorax CT and rapid antibody test results of the patients were examined. The relationship between RT-PCR, thorax CT and rapid antibody test results was compared statistically.

A total of 181 patients, 115 (63.5%) male and 66 (36.5%) female, with an average age of 56.4±18.06years were included in the study. The nasopharyngeal swab PCR result obtained at the first admissionSARS-CoV-2 test was positive. Studies involving larger patient groups are needed for their use alone in diagnosis and screening.

Rapid antibody test and thorax CT examinations were found to have low diagnostic value in patients who admitted to the emergency department of our hospital and whose first RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 test was positive. Studies involving larger patient groups are needed for their use alone in diagnosis and screening.

We aimed to develop a measurement method that can count fibers rapidly by scanning electron microscopy equipped with an artificial intelligence image recognition system (AI-SEM), detecting thin fibers which cannot be observed by a conventional phase contrast microscopy (PCM) method.

We created a simulation sampling filter of airborne fibers using water-filtered chrysotile (white asbestos). A total of 108 images was taken of the samples at a 5kV accelerating voltage with 10000X magnification scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Each of three expert analysts counted 108 images and created a model answer for fibers. We trained the artificial intelligence (AI) using 25 of the 108 images. After the training, the AI counted fibers in 108 images again.

There was a 12.1% difference between the AI counting results and the model answer. At 10000X magnification, AI-SEM can detect 87.9% of fibers with a diameter of 0.06-3μm, which is similar to a skilled analyst. Fibers with a diameter of 0.2μm or less cannot be confirmed by phase-contrast microscopy (PCM). When observing the same area in 300 images with 1500X magnification SEM-as listed in the Asbestos Monitoring Manual (Ministry of the Environment)-with 10000X SEM, the expected analysis time required for the trained AI is 5h, whereas the expected time required for observation by an analyst is 251h.

The AI-SEM can count thin fibers with higher accuracy and more quickly than conventional methods by PCM and SEM.

Pediatric HLT remains uncommon in the United States and criteria for HLT are unclear. The objectives of this study were to review the indications, and outcomes of pediatric HLT.

Data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients heart and liver databases were used to identify 9245 pediatric isolated heart transplants (PHT), 14134 pediatric isolated liver transplant (PLT), and 20 pediatric HLT (16 patients underwent sHLT [same organ donor] and four patients with a history of PHT followed by PLT [different organ donors]; age ≤21years) between 1992 and 2017. Outcomes included patient survival, and 1-year rates of acute heart and liver rejection.

The median age for pediatric HLT was 15.6 (IQR 10.5, 17.9) years, and included 12males (12/20=60%). In the HLT group, the most common indication for HT was CHD (12/20=60%), and the most common indication for liver transplant was cirrhosis (9/20=45%). The 1, 3, and 5year actuarial survival rates in pediatric simultaneous HLT recipients (n=16) were 93%, 93%, and 93%, respectively, and was similar to isolated PHT alone (88%, 81%, and 75.5%, respectively and isolated PLT alone (84%, 82%, and 80%), respectively. There was no heart or liver rejection reported in the HLT group versus 9.9% in heart and 10.6% in liver transplant-only groups, respectively.

Pediatric HLT is an uncommon but acceptable option for recipients with combined end-organ failure, with intermediate survival outcomes comparable to those of single-organ recipients.

In children with functional dyspepsia (FD), genes involved in pain modulation may be differentially expressed contributing to chronic pain.

Children with suspected FD (cases) and known eosinophilic esophagitis (controls) undergoing esophagogastroduodenoscopy completed the Rome IV Diagnostic, Pain Burden and Frequency Severity-Duration questionnaires. 666-15 inhibitor molecular weight Two antral and two duodenal biopsies were collected and relative fold differences in gene expression for 84 pain-associated genes compared to pain-free controls were calculated.

Sixty-six subjects with FD (postprandial distress syndrome=34, epigastric pain syndrome=7, both=25; 65% female; mean age 13.7years) and 13 pain-free controls (8% female; mean age 12.7) were studied. There were no significant differences in antral and duodenal eosinophilic counts or distribution between the pain and pain-free groups. Pain severity and burden did not differ significantly between FD subgroups and neither measure significantly correlated with eosinophil counts in the antrum or duodenum.
