    Abstract Between 1750 and 1920 over 15,000 people visited Antarctica. Despite such a large number the historiography has ignored all but a few celebrated explorers. Maddison presents a study of Antarctic exploration, telling the story of these forgotten facilitators, he argues that Antarctic exploration can be seen as an offshoot of European colonialism

    Abstract Scrapie infectivity enters the environment via a multiplicity of routes from infected animals. Environmentally associated scrapie persists on farms when infected animals have been removed and is particularly resistant to disinfection. Infectivity within the farm is not adequately removed by current recommended guidelines for farm decontamination. We describe an in vitro method for modelling decontamination, specifically the removal of scrapie prions from the surface of concrete fomites within buildings that have housed scrapie infected animals. Concrete that had been spiked with low amounts of a diluted scrapie positive brain homogenate was sampled before and after decontamination. Extracts were used to seed a semi-quantitative serial protein misfolding cyclic amplification assay (sPMCA). We demonstrate that methods currently recommended for prion decontamination result in inadequate reduction of prion seeding activity within this in vitro assay. Effective treatment was achieved using repeat dosing of surfaces with 20,000ppm available chlorine for 4h.

    Abstract Background: The incidence of coagulopathy in patients presenting with rAAA is not clear. The lack of high-quality evidence has led to various speculations, reliance on anecdotal experience, and suggestions about their appropriate haemostatic resuscitation. The aim of this systematic review is to establish the baseline coagulation status of infra renal ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA) against defined standards and definitions.
    Methods: An electronic search of literature in Medline, CINHAL, Scopus Embase, and Cochrane library was performed in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Quality assessment of articles was performed using the Oxford critical appraisal skills programme (CASP) and their recommendation for practice was examined through National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). Information on platelet count, international normalisation ratio (INR), activated partial prothrombin time (aPTT), prothrombin time (PT) fibrinogen and D-dimer was extracted, and pooled analysis was performed in accordance with the definition of coagulopathy and its subtypes. Pooled prevalence of coagulopathies and 95% CI were estimated with a variance weighted random effects model.
    Results: Seven studies, comprising 461 patients were included in this systematic review. Overall weighted prevalence of coagulopathy was 12.3% (95% CI 10.7-13.9), 11.7% for INR (95% CI 1-31.6), 10.1% for platelet count (95% CI 1-26.8), and 11.1% for aPTT (95% CI 0.78-31). Fibrinogen serum concentration level was normal in 97%, and 46.2% (n = 55) of patients had elevated D-dimer. Only 6% of the entire population demonstrated significant coagulopathy. DIC was noted in 2.4% of the population.
    Conclusion: This first systematic review of literature on baseline coagulation of rAAAs suggests that the majority of these patients do not present with coagulopathy and only a minor proportion of patients present with significant coagulopathy.

    Abstract Schmallenberg virus (SBV) caused a large scale epidemic in Europe from 2011 to 2013, infecting ruminants and causing foetal deformities after infection of pregnant animals. The main impact of the virus was financial loss due to restrictions on trade of animals, meat and semen. Although effective vaccines were produced, their uptake was never high. Along with the subsequent decline in new SBV infections and natural replacement of previously exposed livestock, this has resulted in a decrease in the number of protected animals. Recent surveillance has shown that a large population of naïve animals is currently present in Europe and that the virus is circulating at a low level. These changes in animal status, in combination with favourable conditions for insect vectors, may open the door to the re-emergence of SBV and another large scale outbreak in Europe. This review details the potential and preparedness for SBV re-emergence in Europe, discusses possible co-ordinated sentinel monitoring programmes for ruminant seroconversion and the presence of SBV in the insect vectors, and provides an overview of the economic impact associated with diagnosis, control and the effects of non-vaccination.

  7. Article ; Online: Examining the relationship between malaria burden and domestic spending on malaria in 106 countries, 2000–2019

    Abstract: Background: In 2019, there were 231 million (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 186–290) new malaria cases across the 106 malaria-endemic countries worldwide. Since 2000, malaria control and elimination has been a priority for the international community. ... ...

    Abstract Background: In 2019, there were 231 million (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 186–290) new malaria cases across the 106 malaria-endemic countries worldwide. Since 2000, malaria control and elimination has been a priority for the international community. This has driven global health leadership to invest in prevention, treatment, and surveillance strategies. However, as countries move from malaria control to elimination, financing sources shift from mainly development assistance for health and out-of-pocket spending to government and prepaid private spending. We aimed to examine the association between malaria burden and spending on malaria prevention and treatment activities. Methods: Malaria incidence, prevalence, and mortality rates were extracted from the 2019 Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study. We extracted data from 546 data sources on government, out-of-pocket, and prepaid private malaria spending; cost of patient care; and drug prices for malaria-endemic countries from 2000 to 2019. We used panel regression methods to explore the relationship between malaria burden and domestic spending on malaria. We report all spending estimates in inflation-adjusted 2019 US$. Findings: Our preliminary results suggest a negative correlation between domestic spending and new malaria cases. Additionally, decreases in malaria incidence rates were associated with increases in investment in activities to strengthen health systems and prevent malaria re-introduction. Lastly, out-of-pocket spending had a positive correlation with incidence rates in endemic countries. Interpretation: As countries succeed in reducing the malaria burden, prioritising investments in malaria surveillance and prevention is paramount to strengthen health systems, prevent resurgence, and provide financial protection to people affected by malaria.

    Abstract GST-Gag(p55) binds specifically to HIV-1 RNA sequences 1-406, in vitro, with a Kd of about 50 nM. This RNA transcript contains a number of stem loop (SL) structures. The binding is due to the Gag moiety of the fusion protein, not GST. There is a high affinity binding site for Gag in an RNA containing nucleotides 325-362. SL4 is predicted by both biochemical studies and computer folding to be located between nucleotides 335 and 358. An RNA transcript ending at nucleotide 335 does not bind Gag. The deletion of nucleotides 334-358 from HIV-1 RNAs does not affect Gag binding. Digestions with RNase V1 and T1 show that nucleotides 297-300 in SL2, 310, 312, 313, 315, 317, 318, 325 in SL3, and 342 and 343 in SL4 are protected in the presence of Gag. The cleavage of nucleotides 348-351 in SL4 by RNAse V1 is enhanced by Gag binding. At least two Gag binding sites are therefore located in the leader RNA. Those located 5' of nucleotide 335 require the presence of additional 3' sequences.
