infection in lungs is it dangerous :: Article Creator Transplanted Lungs Likely Spread Dangerous Legionella Infection To Two Recipients, Study Says - CNN CNN  —  For the first time, an organ transplant is believed to have spread dangerous Legionella bacteria, according to a report published Thursday by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The two people who developed Legionnaires' disease received donated lungs from a man who died last year after falling into a river in Pennsylvania. The man, who was in his 30s, had been declared brain-dead after attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful. Polish authorities probe whether deadly Legionnaires' outbreak was result of water tampering Doctors were able to transplant his right lung into a woman in her 70s. His left lung went to a man in his 60s. Both eventually developed Legionnaires', a severe form of pneumonia caused by the Legionella bacteria. People who re...

    Childhood, adolescent and young adult survivors of bone and soft tissue sarcomas had an increased risk for second malignant neoplasms, according to study results in Cancer.

    The findings indicate a need for lifelong follow-up and effective aftercare for this patient population, researchers noted.

    "The challenge of modern cancer therapy is still to cure but also to prevent late effects, especially in children, adolescents and young adults for whom the perspective of an adequate quality of life is a prerequisite of management," Stefanie J. Kube, MD, researcher in the department of pediatrics at Klinikum Stuttgart Olgahospital in Germany, and colleagues wrote.

    Investigators sought to assess incidence of second malignant neoplasms, as well as latency, histiotype and outcome, among 7,079 young survivors of sarcoma (median age at diagnosis, 17.5 years) included in clinical trials or in registries with a primary sarcoma. Researchers used descriptive analysis, the Kaplan-Meier method, and the Gray, Fine-Gray and Cox regression models for statistical analyses.

    Key findings

    Overall, 159 (2.2%) patients had a recorded second malignant neoplasm, of which researchers noted 104 (65%) solid second malignant neoplasms and 56 (35%) hematologic second malignant neoplasms. Median age at diagnosis of second malignant neoplasm was 17.5 years (range, 2.1-43.4).

    Median time from first diagnosis of sarcoma to the diagnosis of second malignant neoplasm was 6.8 years, and researchers found a cumulative incidence of second malignant neoplasm of 8.8% after 30 years.

    Moreover, all patients had a 5-year survival rate of 67.1% (95% CI, 66-68.2) compared with 45.1% (95% CI, 36.2-53.6) after the second malignant neoplasm diagnosis among the subcohort of 159 patients.

    Implications

    "There is a remarkable high cumulative incidence of second malignant neoplasms after bone and soft tissue sarcomas in children, adolescents and young adults. Therefore, effective transition, as well as risk adapted long-term follow-up care programs, should be developed and offered to young sarcoma survivors," Kube and colleagues wrote. "Our findings provide a basis to counsel young sarcoma survivors on their individual risk [for] subsequent malignant tumors. Moreover, these data can help to establish recommendations for aftercare in young sarcoma survivors."

    dented can botulism :: Article Creator Three Canadians Sickened In France's Botulism Outbreak Are From Quebec: PHAC The Public Health Agency of Canada has confirmed that the three Canadians who fell ill in a botulism outbreak in France are from Quebec. They're among at least 12 people who have suspected botulism after eating sardines prepared and served at Tchin Tchin Wine Bar in Bordeaux, France. The food was eaten between Sept. 4 and Sept. 10. The Associated Press has reported that some patients have been released from hospital, but most of them are in intensive care or critical condition. Canada's public health agency says it cannot divulge the condition of the patients from Quebec because it is considered private health information. Other tourists from the U.S., Ireland, Germany and Spain were among those sickened. One patient, who was not from Canada, has died. France's public health agency is leading the investigation...

    Preventing, controlling spread of animal diseases focus of forum at Penn State - Pennsylvania State University

    Image
    UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — An outbreak of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus in poultry in 2014-15 resulted in the destruction of more than 50 million chickens and turkeys in the U.S., causing billions of dollars in economic loss. This animal disease outbreak — the worst in U.S. history — is one example of how devastating a foreign animal disease can be to animal agriculture and the country's economy. The resurgence of avian influenza in multiple states, including Pennsylvania, is once again bringing the importance of preventing animal diseases to the forefront, noted Suresh Kuchipudi, clinical professor of microbiology in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences. Exploring the emergence, spread and control of animal infectious diseases such as avian influenza was the focus of the inaugural Emerging Animal Infectious Disease Conference held Nov. 29-Dec.1, 2021, at Penn State. It was hosted by the College of Agricultural Sciences, the Pennsylvania Department of A...
