    Abstract We documented two stages of bone involvement due to syphilis in two adult patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus. Bony lesions of secondary versus tertiary syphilis cannot be differentiated on clinical or radiologic grounds alone. Given the rarity of this clinical presentation, there is no consensus on treatment duration and related outcomes.

    Abstract Our group works on the detection and characterization of cassava viruses, supporting projects that involve large scale pathogen surveillance activities and resistance screening assays in multiple and remote locations. In order to comply with these applications, nucleic acid isolation protocols need to be cost effective, adjusted for samples that will stand long distance transport and harsh storage conditions, while maximizing the yield and quality of the nucleic acid extracts obtained. The method we describe here has been widely used and validated using different downstream tests (including, but not limited to, Rolling Circle Amplification and Illumina and Nanopore sequencing), but is currently unpublished. The protocol begins with milligram amounts of dry leaf samples stored in silica gel, does not require liquid Nitrogen nor phenol extraction and produces an average of 2.11 µg of nucleic acids per mg of dry tissue.•DNA purity estimations reveal OD260/280 ratios above 2.0 and OD260/230 ratios above 1.7, even for samples stored in silica gel for several months.•The high quality of the extracts is suitable for detection of DNA and RNA viruses, with high efficiency.•We suggest this method could be used as part of a gold standard kit for virus detection in cassava.

    Abstract BACKGROUND Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a disease characterized by motor ciliary dysfunction, which leads to the accumulation of secretions in the lower airways and, consequently, to atelectasis and repeated infections. During the neonatal period, diagnosis can be difficult because the symptoms are frequently associated with other respiratory diseases common in neonates. The laterality defects should warn the clinician of the need for further investigation using clinical criteria, but the confirmation depends on a genetic test. CASE REPORT The objective of this report is to present a case of PCD manifesting in the neonatal period that was diagnosed due to respiratory failure associated with recurrent atelectasis and situs inversus totalis. CONCLUSIONS This disease is not well known by neonatologists, but early diagnosis decreases morbidity and improves patient quality of life.

    Abstract Aims: Depression and anxiety are the leading contributors to the global burden of disease among young people, accounting for over a third (34.8%) of years lived with disability. Yet there is limited evidence for interventions that prevent adolescent depression and anxiety in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where 90% of adolescents live. This article introduces the 'Improving Adolescent mentaL health by reducing the Impact of poVErty (ALIVE)' study, its conceptual framework, objectives, methods and expected outcomes. The aim of the ALIVE study is to develop and pilot-test an intervention that combines poverty reduction with strengthening self-regulation to prevent depression and anxiety among adolescents living in urban poverty in Colombia, Nepal and South Africa.
    Methods: This aim will be achieved by addressing four objectives: (1) develop a conceptual framework that identifies the causal mechanisms linking poverty, self-regulation and depression and anxiety; (2) develop a multi-component selective prevention intervention targeting self-regulation and poverty among adolescents at high risk of developing depression or anxiety; (3) adapt and validate instruments to measure incidence of depression and anxiety, mediators and implementation parameters of the prevention intervention; and (4) undertake a four-arm pilot cluster randomised controlled trial to assess the feasibility, acceptability and cost of the selective prevention intervention in the three study sites.
    Results: The contributions of this study include the active engagement and participation of adolescents in the research process; a focus on the causal mechanisms of the intervention; building an evidence base for prevention interventions in LMICs; and the use of an interdisciplinary approach.
    Conclusions: By developing and evaluating an intervention that addresses multidimensional poverty and self-regulation, ALIVE can make contributions to evidence on the integration of mental health into broader development policy and practice.
