Catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) with a 40% capacity to pay (CTP) households in the study area was 22.5%. Female household head (AOR = 2.92; 95% CI 1.44, 5.93) and household with chronic illnesses (AOR = 3.93; 95% CI 1.78, 9.14) were positively associated with CHE and, while households who had adult household members (AOR = 0.32; 95% CI 0.16, 0.63) were negatively associated.

The overall CHE, with a 40% CTP threshold, was high. Prevention of chronic illness might help to reduce the burden of the expenditure. Strengthening financial risk protection mechanisms, such as community-based health insurance, could help bring healthcare services equity.

Carbapenem-resistant

(CRP) is a group of multidrug-resistant (MDR) microorganisms that raise special treatment problems due to their intrinsic resistance to colistin. In this study, our aim is to provide a phenotypic and molecular characterization of the carbapenemases secreted by CRP strains isolated from inpatients from an intensive care unit (ICU) and surgical wards, as well as the identification of the risk factors involved in their acquisition.

An observational, cross-sectional study was performed which included all

strains isolated in samples from inpatients on high-risk wards of the largest university hospital in Western Romania, from July 2017 to April 2019. Meropenem-resistant strains (N=65) with MIC ≥16 µg/mL were subjected to a singleplex PCR assay for the detection of

NDM,

VIM and

CTX-M genes. The analysis of risk factors was performed by logistic regression.

Out of 8317 samples that were processed, 400

strains were isolated 64% belonging to the genus

, 26.75% to the genus

treat and led to an excess of lethality of 27.16%.

Pyogenic β-hemolytic streptococci (including Group A, C and G

) are some of the most important Gram-positive bacterial pathogens in human medicine. Although effective therapy is available, invasive streptococcal infections are associated with a significant disease burden.

In this retrospective study, the epidemiological characteristics of invasive Group A (iGAS) and Group C and G (iGCGS) streptococci, along with tonsillo-pharyngitis-causing pGAS and pGCGS infections, were assessed in Southern Hungary. A total of 1554 cases of streptococcal tonsillo-pharyngitis infections (26.5-44.1/100,000 persons, pGAS 95.5%; n=1484) and 1104 cases of invasive streptococcal infections were detected (12.5-31.4/100,000 persons, iGAS 77.9%; n=861).

The average age of the affected patients in the various groups were the following pGAS 13.2±13.1 years, pGCGS 21.0±15.0 years (p=0.039), iGAS 49.1±12.8 years, iGCGS 58.7±18.5 years (p>0.05). iGAS isolates originated from abscesses (47.1%), blood culture samples (24.1%), suance levels are still relatively low, compared to Southern European countries.On our pediatric intensive care unit, we successfully treated a 10-year-old boy with severe pulmonary edema due to anaphylaxis after his last injection of a 3-year course of allergen immunotherapy (AIT). In view of the severity of the adverse event, we initiated a case analysis with all involved medical professionals. The evaluation revealed delayed administration of epinephrine due to dosing uncertainty and underestimation of severity. Consequently, all involved institutions established epinephrine auto-injectors (EAIs) in their emergency equipment. We suggest providing EAIs in every practice conducting AIT, as well as in pediatric emergency rooms and ambulances. We would like to remind readers of the risk of anaphylaxis, even on the last day of AIT.The Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) 2020 defines late-onset asthma (LOA) as one of the clinical phenotypes of asthma wherein patients, particularly women, present with asthma for the first time in adult life, tend to be non-allergic and often require higher doses of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) or are relatively refractory to corticosteroid treatment. In this review, we examine the published literature improve the understanding of the following aspects of LOA 1) the age cut-off for its diagnosis; 2) its distinct clinical phenotypes, characteristics and risk factors; and 3) its association with allergic comorbidities and conditions. Overall, our review reveals that clinicians and researchers have used multiple age cut-offs to define LOA, with cut-off ages ranging from >12 years to ≥65 years. LOA has also been classified into several distinct phenotypes, some of which drastically differ in their clinical characteristics, course and prognosis. Although LOA has traditionally been considered non-allergic in nature, our review indicates that it is commonly associated with allergic features and comorbidities. Our findings suggest that there is an urgent need for the development of more clear clinical practice guidelines that can provide more clarity on the definition and other aspects of LOA. In addition, the association of LOA and allergy needs to be re-examined to frame a more optimal treatment strategy for patients with LOA.

To investigate the effect of

on glioma cells and further explore its underlying molecular mechanisms.

Mouse xenograft model was used in this study. The mRNA expression of

was detected by qRT-PCR. The cell viability and proliferation activity was detected by MTT assay and colony formation assay. The migration and invasion of glioma cells were determined by Transwell assay. The protein levels of

, FOXO1, CyclinD1, C-myc, MMP-2 and TIMP-1 were assessed by Western-blotting. The interaction between TRIM47 and FOXO1 was measured by Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assay.

In glioma tissues and cells,

was significantly up-regulated. Silencing the expression of

inhibited the cell viability and proliferation of cells A172 and U251, as well as their ability to invade and migrate. Among them, the expression levels of C-myc and CyclinD1 also decreased, and MMP-2 was down-regulated and TIMP-1 was up-regulated. Similarly, in vivo model, tumor volume and weight also decreased after

knockout. Further research showed that TRIM47 inhibited

expression by ubiquitination and degradation of

, thereby promoting glioma growth and progression.
