email article Adults with multi-system inflammatory syndrome (MIS-A) following COVID-19 illness had a wide variety of organ involvement, a retrospective single-center study found. In an analysis that included nearly 700 COVID-19 patients, the median number of involved organ systems among the 15 patients admitted for MIS-A was four, with the kidneys, hematologic, and gastrointestinal systems most commonly affected, reported Giovanni Davogustto, MD, of Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, and colleagues. Overall, nine of the MIS-A patients had experienced acute COVID-19 illn...

According to a report by The Age, scientists will use genomic sequencing as a critical tool to track the outbreaks, similar to how they monitor the spread of COVID-19 infections. The cause behind the sudden surge in infections remains unknown. But epidemiologist Eric Chow - who has been studying the state's syphilis epidemic - told 9new.com.au more sexual health clinics were needed in the affected areas to help prevent the outbreak from spreading. "Sexual health services need to be scaled up in those areas," he said. "Public health messaging about how STIs are transmitted, also symptoms, awa...

AUSTRALIA is grappling with an explosion of syphilis cases following the easing of lockdown, according to reports. Described by local health officials in Melbourne as an “epidemic,” there is a growing fear that there could be a 220 percent spike in infections of the sexually transmitted infection. 4 4 The 'epidemic' is believed to be the result of the easing of lockdown restrictionsCredit: Getty Doctors were left baffled as the new data compiled by the Department of Health already shows a 45 per cent increase of notified syphilis cases. Much of the spread is blamed on the easing of lockdo...

Syphilis epidemic in Melbourne suburbs: scientists use genomic sequencing to track STD We’re sorry, this service is currently unavailable. Please try again later. Dismiss Save Normal text size Advertisement Scientists will use genomic sequencing for the first time to track fast-moving syphilis outbreaks infiltrating Melbourne’s outer suburbs, as doctors warn immediate intervention is needed to contain an evolving epidemic of the sexually transmitted disease. Doctors at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital are also reporting a 20-fold increase in people presenting with syphilis-r...

New method helps map the specialized diversity and spatial location of cells within a tissue or tumor Not all cancer cells within a tumor are created equal; nor do all immune cells (or all liver or brain cells) in your body have the same job. Much of their function depends on their location. Now, researchers at Gladstone Institutes, UC San Francisco (UCSF), and UC Berkeley have developed a more efficient method than ever before to simultaneously map the specialized diversity and spatial location of individual cells within a tissue or a tumor. The technique, called XYZeq, was described online ...
