Etude sanitaire de la zone 17.48 de Fouras. Charente-Maritime

Suite à la demande d’exploitation de la zone de Fouras, n°17.48 par le Comité Régional de la Conchyliculture du Poitou-Charentes (CRCPC), la Direction Départementale des Territoires et de la Mer (DDTM) a demandé la réalisation d’une étude sanitaire en vue du classement de la zone de production de coquillages pour les bivalves fouisseurs (groupe 2). Cette étude réalisée par le Laboratoire Environnement Ressources des Pertuis Charentais (LER/PC) bénéficie d’un financement de la Direction Générale de l 'Alimentation (DGAL). Basée sur les paramètres microbiologiques (Escherichia coli) et chimiques (plomb, mercure, cadmium), l’étude sanitaire a pour objectifs d'estimer la qualité microbiologique et chimique de la zone en vue du classement sanitaire de la zone par l'administration conformément aux exigences du Règlement CE n° 854/2004 ; et de déterminer la stratégie d'échantillonnage à mettre en oeuvre dans le cadre de la surveillance sanitaire régulière de cette zone suite à son classement. L’étude des informations disponibles a permis l’identification de sources de contamination potentielle et la définition d’une stratégie d’échantillonnage. Deux points de suivis ont été positionnés dans les secteurs jugés sensibles aux sources de contamination et ont été échantillonnés du 29 juillet 2011 au 4 octobre 2012. Les concentrations maximales en cadmium, mercure et plomb sont inférieures aux critères chimiques réglementaires et sont compatibles avec un classement A, B ou C. Le suivi microbiologique réalisé indique une qualité B pour chacun des deux points de suivi. La qualité de la zone semble donc homogène, et est estimée B dans son ensemble. Le point « Les Ecussons » est le plus sensible aux contaminations microbiologiques, la surveillance régulière REMI de la zone du Fier d’Ars pour le groupe 2 sera donc basée sur ce point.

Características microbiológicas y clínico-epidemiológicas de enterobacterias productoras de carbapenemasa oxa-48 en el contexto de un brote hospitalario

La diseminación de enterobacterias resistentes a los antibióticos carbapenémicos constituye una importante amenaza para los sistemas de salud. Las especies pertenecientes a la familia Enterobacteriaceae son la principal causa de infecciones relacionadas con la asistencia sanitaria, siendo los antibióticos carbapenémicos el último escalón terapéutico para una proporción cada vez mayor de pacientes con infecciones graves producidas por enterobacterias. La carbapenemasa OXA-48 es un enzima oxacilinasa con actividad hidrolítica para los antibióticos carbapenémicos que se describió por primera vez en un paciente hospitalizado en Turquía en el año 2001. Desde entonces las enterobacterias productoras de carbapenemasa OXA-48 han sido detectadas en numerosos países en el norte de África, Oriente Medio y Europa. Las enterobacterias productoras de carbapenemasa OXA-48 han estado implicadas en brotes nosocomiales y son un problema de gran trascendencia clínica. El gen que codifica para la carbapenemasa OXA-48 (blaOXA-48) forma parte del transposón Tn1999 que está flanqueado por dos copias de la secuencia de inserción IS1999...

Adapting The Sniffin' Sticks Olfactory Test To Diagnose Parkinson's Disease In Estonia.

The aim of the study was to develop a culturally adapted translation of the 12-item smell identification test from Sniffin' Sticks (SS-12) for the Estonian population in order to help diagnose Parkinson's disease (PD). A standard translation of the SS-12 was created and 150 healthy Estonians were questioned about the smells used as response options in the test. Unfamiliar smells were replaced by culturally familiar options. The adapted SS-12 was applied to 70 controls in all age groups, and thereafter to 50 PD patients and 50 age- and sex-matched controls. 14 response options from 48 used in the SS-12 were replaced with familiar smells in an adapted version, in which the mean rate of correct response was 87% (range 73-99) compared to 83% with the literal translation (range 50-98). In PD patients, the average adapted SS-12 score (5.4/12) was significantly lower than in controls (average score 8.9/12), p < 0.0001. A multiple linear regression using the score in the SS-12 as the outcome measure showed that diagnosis and age independently influenced the result of the SS-12. A logistic regression using the SS-12 and age as covariates showed that the SS-12 (but not age) correctly classified 79.0% of subjects into the PD and control category, using a cut-off of <7 gave a sensitivity of 76% and specificity of 86% for the diagnosis of PD. The developed SS-12 cultural adaption is appropriate for testing olfaction in Estonia for the purpose of PD diagnosis.

The Burden Of Eclampsia: Results From A Multicenter Study On Surveillance Of Severe Maternal Morbidity In Brazil.

Maternal mortality (MM) is a core indicator of disparities in women's rights. The study of Near Miss cases is strategic to identifying the breakdowns in obstetrical care. In absolute numbers, both MM and occurrence of eclampsia are rare events. We aim to assess the obstetric care indicators and main predictors for severe maternal outcome from eclampsia (SMO: maternal death plus maternal near miss). Secondary analysis of a multicenter, cross-sectional study, including 27 centers from all geographic regions of Brazil, from 2009 to 2010. 426 cases of eclampsia were identified and classified according to the outcomes: SMO and non-SMO. We classified facilities as coming from low- and high-income regions and calculated the WHO's obstetric health indicators. SPSS and Stata softwares were used to calculate the prevalence ratios (PR) and respective 95% confidence interval (CI) to assess maternal characteristics, clinical and obstetrical history, and access to health services as predictors for SMO, subsequently correlating them with the corresponding perinatal outcomes, also applying multiple regression analysis (adjusted for cluster effect). Prevalence of and mortality indexes for eclampsia in higher and lower income regions were 0.2%/0.8% and 8.1%/22%, respectively. Difficulties in access to health care showed that ICU admission (adjPR 3.61; 95% CI 1.77-7.35) and inadequate monitoring (adjPR 2.31; 95% CI 1.48-3.59) were associated with SMO. Morbidity and mortality associated with eclampsia were high in Brazil, especially in lower income regions. Promoting quality maternal health care and improving the availability of obstetric emergency care are essential actions to relieve the burden of eclampsia.
