    Abstract El artículo hace una reseña acerca del célebre Cuarteto Artemis en sus 3 décadas de recorrido, y gran capacidad para adaptarse a las peripecias experimentadas a lo largo de este período, preservando la calidad interpretativa como objetivo primordial. El conjunto había sufrido el tropiezo ocasionado por la partida de Friedemann Weigle quien aquejado de un trastorno bipolar y cuadro depresivo mayor pone fin a su vida el 6 de julio de 2015. Las vivencias de la agrupación aparecen bien reflejadas en el documental Artemis, The Neverending Quartet estrenado el año 2019 en Hamburgo, y posteriormente nominado al Golden Calf Film Award en la categoría de «Mejor Cortometraje Documental 2020». En sus 53 minutos la directora Hester Overmars nos brinda una pincelada a grandes rasgos de la agrupación, quien gracias a la posibilidad de asistir a los ensayos consigue registrar las experiencias detrás de bambalinas, a la par de permitirnos entrever aquellos esfuerzos reparadores, cual suerte de firme resiliencia colectiva. Teniendo a la música como principal protagonista, la película trasluce los avatares derivados de la dolorosa pérdida de un compañero de tantos años, y el empeño para no quedar atrapados en la encerrona de la desesperanza.

    Abstract In the Gran Chaco region, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) declared the interruption of vector transmission of Chagas Disease in Paraguay and some district of Argentina.After a bibliographic search, by using the words "Chagas, prevalence, children, Chaco", on scientiphic articles indexed in Pubmed and Lilacs during the 2010-2021 period, we found nine studies which dealt with entomological data seroprevalence surveys of Chagas Disease in Argentine children and three studies in Bolivian children.More field studies need to be published to better understand the epidemiological situation in children from the region. Due to its social and ecological characteristics, the Gran Chaco region remains a hotspot for Chagas Disease affecting disproportionally rural communities and certain vulnerable ethnics groups.

    Abstract La historia de la Medicina, tan abundante en padecimientos que han convulsionado a la humanidad desde tiempos inmemoriales, escribe hoy una nueva página de alcance planetario y que de alguna manera nos enrostra esa otra faceta burda de la globalización. Al son del COVID19 danzamos y su coreografía nos retrotrae, entre tantas anécdotas, a sucesos no menos dolorosos como los ocurridos en la península itálica a comienzos del siglo XVII, que fueran palmariamente retratados por uno de los literatos más eximios de lengua del Dante, Alessandro Manzoni. Sin lugar a duda, un fiel representante del risorgimento que reunía a actores claves de la sociedad italiana, entre los cuales se destacaban él mismo, Giuseppe Verdi y por supuesto su gran artífice Giuseppe Mazzini. La meta era lograr una Italia unida e independiente fiel a su historia y geografía.

    Abstract Hacia fines de noviembre de 2019, comenzó a detectarse una serie de casos de neumonía sin diagnóstico etiológico preciso en Wuhan, China. Poco tiempo después, concretamente a principios de enero de 2020 fue posible determinar que su agente causal era un nuevo coronavirus, inicialmente denominado 2019-nCoV y luego coronavirus-2 del síndrome respiratorio agudo severo (SARS-CoV-2), aunque también se lo suele identificar como COVID-19. La enfermedad que afecta particularmente las vías respiratorias se generalizó rápidamente dado la transmisión entre personas, habiendo ocasionado brotes significativos a nivel planetario con un variado espectro de morbilidad y una tasa de mortalidad que en líneas generales oscila entre un 3 y 4%. El 11 de marzo de 2020, la OMS declaró la pandemia COVID-19; la cual ha puesto en jaque a los sistemas de salud y la economía global, atento a los desafíos que plantean las pautas de prevención, la atención clínica y las cuestiones socioeconómicas vinculadas a las medidas de aislamiento y la consabida cuarentena.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic remained worldwide for almost three years, but little is known about the dynamics of humoral immune response to the third dose over time and its protection from infection. Our aim was to assess the humoral immune response after the third dose of the different vaccines administered to SARS-CoV-2 naive and previously infected individuals, and its correlation with protection in an academic community. For each person studied (185), three blood samples were taken between December 2021 and July 2022, one month apart. Anti-S antibodies were quantified by ELISA, while anti-N antibody levels were determined by ECLIA. Most of the participants had received two doses of viral vector-based, mRNA-based and virus-inactivated vaccines. Although anti-N antibody levels revealed that 80% of the individuals had been exposed to the virus before or during the study, only 42% reported having been diagnosed. When anti-S IgG levels were measured 3-5 months after the second dose of any vaccine, they were higher in those previously infected individuals. The same results were observed for anti-N IgG levels in those who received 2 doses of the virus-inactivated vaccine. When analyzing the dynamics of anti-S antibodies we observed that, although positive IgG antibody levels were detected 5-6 months after the second dose administration, those observed 30-60 days after the third dose were significantly higher and remained so for at least 8 months. Higher levels of anti-S IgG antibodies at the first sampling were associated with a lower incidence of subsequent infection. The same association was seen in people who received the booster compared with those who received two doses. This study provides further evidence that anti-S IgG antibodies remained at high levels over time, and both anti-S levels and the third dose of anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccine correlate with protection against the infection. It also shows that infection acts as a booster of immunization, increasing levels of both anti-N and anti-S IgG.

    Abstract The use of convalescent plasma (CP) for hospitalized patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection might be a useful option in certain settings. Soon after the outbreak of COVID-19, the National Ministry of Health of Argentina recommended the use of CP transfusion for hospitalized patients with COVID-19 disease. Between 1 June and 3 October 2020, 480 patients, excluding those on invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), received at least one CP infusion in the province of Santa Fe. We aimed to find factors associated with mortality among this cohort of patients. The median age was 60 years (interquartile range: 49-69 years) and 320 (66.7%) were males. Most of these patients (93.75%) received a single CP infusion, 82.1% and 95.6% before day 4 and day 7 of hospitalization, respectively. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 titers were determined in the CP units administered using Elecsys Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S assay. At 28 days of follow-up, 250 patients were discharged (52.1%), 131 (27.3%) remained hospitalized without and 16 (3.3%) with oxygen requirement, 27 (5.6%) were on IMV, and 56 (11.7%) had died. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, the factors significantly associated with 28-day mortality were (i) requirement of IMV, (ii) the administration of CP after the third day of hospitalization, (iii) age, and (iv) number of comorbidities. The qualitative and quantitative analyses of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in the infused CP were not associated with mortality. Our findings may imply a seemingly favorable effect of CP administration among patients with severe COVID-19 disease when infused sooner after hospitalization.IMPORTANCEThe use of convalescent plasma (CP) could be an option for patients with severe COVID-19, especially in poor-resource countries where direct antiviral drugs are not commercially available. Currently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration limits the CP administration for outpatients and inpatients with COVID-19 who are immunocompromised and only if high levels of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies are confirmed in the CP unit. Although most of the randomized clinical trials failed to show a clear-cut benefit of CP in hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19, other studies have shown that if given early in the course of the disease, it might be a useful therapeutic option. In this retrospective study, we demonstrated that early treatment (within 3 days of hospitalization) was significantly associated with reduced 28-day mortality compared with those patients treated beyond day 3. The results from our study add up to the scientific evidence on the use of CP as a relatively safe, cheap, and possibly effective therapy in certain patients suffering from severe SARS-CoV-2 infection.

    Abstract The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the immune system have evolved in simultaneous and communicate each other, by a series common mediators, hormones and cytokines. As endogenous peptides primarily released from immune cells cytokines coordinate the immune response and also lead to the HPA activation, particularly those with inflammatory effects. A major effector mechanism of the HPA axis deals with the production of adrenal steroids, glucocorticoids (GCs) and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). GCs and DHEA influence innate and adaptive mechanisms of the immune response downregulating inflammatory responses, but displaying differenzial effects on the development of Th2 and Th1 responses, respectively. Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease in which tissue pathology has an immune-mediated component encompassing an excessive and/or protracted cytokine production liable to affect the immunoendocrine communication. We have shown that TB patients present increased IFN-γ, IL-10, and IL-6 plasma levels, in presence of modest increases in cortisol, prolactin, and thyroid hormones and highly augmented concentrations of growth hormone. In contrast, testosterone, leptin and DHEA levels were markedly decreased. In vitro studies demonstrate that culture supernatants from M. tuberculosis-stimulated PBMC of TB patients inhibited DHEA secretion by a human adrenal cell line. Treatment of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from TB patients with physiological concentrations of cortisol inhibits mycobacterial antigen-driven lymphoproliferation and IFN-γ production, whereas DHEA suppresses TGF-β production by PBMC from patients with progressive disease. Supporting the role of immune and endocrine mediators in energy expenditure and metabolism, results also show that the consumption state of TB patients is linked to the immuno-endocrine disturbances. It was found that the body mass index of active TB patients is negatively associated with circulating IL-6 levels, which in turn correlate positively with cortisol concentrations Most immunomodulating effects of GCs are achieved through the interaction with GC receptors (GR), in particular the GR-α isoform since the GR-β lacks the ability to bind GC and seems to function as an inhibitor of GR-α-mediated transcriptional activation. Current studies reveal a reduced mRNA GRα/β ratio in PBMC of severe TB patients with hormone and cytokine environment influencing the expression of GR isoforms. Taken together, its is clear that the bidirectional communication between the neuroendocrine and immune systems in TB, results in an abnormal immuno-endocrine relation taking part in the consumption state, disturbed anti-infective immune response and pathological hormonal profile.
