The real burden of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in non-hospitalized patients is largely unknown. This is a 3-year prospective, observational study of ambulatory CAP in adults, conducted in 24 Spanish primary care centers between 2016-2019. Sociodemographic and clinical variables of patients with radiographically confirmed CAP were collected.

Objective: To investigate whether aquaporin-4-immunoglobulin G (AQP4-IgG) titers and measures of complement-mediated cell killing are clinically useful to predict the occurrence of relapse, relapse severity, and/or disability in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD).
Methods: We studied 336 serial serum specimens from 82 AQP4-lgG-seropositive patients. NMOSD activity at blood draw was defined as preattack (24 [7.
Article Synopsis
- Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and its spectrum disorders (NMOSD) are inflammatory diseases linked to a specific biomarker (AQP4-IgG) and this study aimed to address gaps in previous research, particularly regarding ethnic representation and seroprevalence in specific populations.
- The study compared NMO/NMOSD incidence and prevalence between Olmsted County, Minnesota (predominantly white) and Martinique (predominantly black) from 2003 to 2011, finding significantly higher rates in Martinique.
- Results indicated that Martinique had a higher incidence and prevalence of NMO/NMOSD, suggesting around 16,000 to 17,000 cases, and highlighted similarities in
Background And Purpose: Seldom studies are available on trends in stroke incidence in blacks. We aimed to evaluate whether stroke risk prevention policies modified first-ever stroke incidence and outcomes in the black Afro-Caribbean population of Martinique.
Methods: Etude Réalisée en Martinique et Centrée sur l'Incidence des Accidents Vasculaires Cérébraux (ERMANCIA) I and II are 2 sequential prospective population-based epidemiological studies.
