[Recommendations for the diagnosis and management of cytomegalovirus infection in pregnant woman and newborn infant].

The Chilean Society of Infectology, through its Neonatal Infections Committee in conjunction with the Chilean Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology, propose a document for the Diagnosis and Management of Cytomegalovirus Infection in Pregnant Woman and Newborn Infant. This guideline suggests the management of mother and child infection, its diagnostic and therapeutic options. Considers the global and Latin American epidemiology, with recommendations for clinical and laboratory evaluation; diagnostic criteria, therapeutic approaches according to the clinical situation, analyzes prevention measures and establishes a national proposal for monitoring this disease.

Wage inequality and poverty effects of lockdown and social distancing in Europe.

Social distancing and lockdown measures taken to contain the spread of COVID-19 may have distributional economic costs beyond the contraction of GDP. Here we evaluate the capacity of individuals to work under a lockdown based on a Lockdown Working Ability index which considers their teleworking capacity and whether their occupation is essential or closed. Our analysis reveals substantial and uneven potential wage losses across the distribution all around Europe and we consistently find that both poverty and wage inequality rise in all European countries.

Hypoxia Is Not a Main Stress When Is in a Dormancy-Like Long-Chain Fatty Acid Environment.

The capacity of () to sense, respond and adapt to a variable and hostile environment within the host makes it one of the most successful human pathogens. During different stages of infection, is surrounded by a plethora of lipid molecules and current evidence points out the relevance of fatty acids during the infectious process. In this study, we have compared the transcriptional response of to hypoxia in cultures supplemented with a mix of even long-chain fatty acids or dextrose as main carbon sources.

Adsorption and removal of phenoxy acetic herbicides from water by using commercial activated carbons: experimental and computational studies.

In this study, commercial activated carbons (GAB and CBP) were successfully used for the removal of two phenoxy acetic class-herbicides, 4-chloro-2-methyl phenoxy acetic acid and 2.4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (MCPA and 2.4-D) from aqueous solution.

Comparative evaluation of adsorption kinetics of diclofenac and isoproturon by activated carbon.

Adsorption mechanism of diclofenac and isoproturon onto activated carbon has been proposed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Adsorption capacity and optimum adsorption isotherms were predicted by nonlinear regression method. Different kinetic equations, pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, intraparticle diffusion model and Bangham kinetic model, were applied to study the adsorption kinetics of emerging contaminants on activated carbon in two aqueous matrices.

Complete Genome Sequence of the Clinical Beijing-Like Strain Mycobacterium tuberculosis 323 Using the PacBio Real-Time Sequencing Platform.

We report here the whole-genome sequence of the multidrug-resistant Beijing-like strain Mycobacterium tuberculosis 323, isolated from a 15-year-old female patient who died shortly after the initiation of second-line drug treatment. This strain is representative of the Beijing-like isolates from Colombia, where this lineage is becoming a public health concern.

Degradation of phenylamine by catalytic wet air oxidation using metal catalysts with modified supports.

The effect of acid treatments with HCl and HNO3 on the surface area and surface chemistry of three granular activated carbons was studied. These supports were characterized and the hydrochloric acid treatment leads to the best activated carbon support (AC2-C). The catalytic behavior of Pt, Ru and Fe (1 wt.

Adsorption of pharmaceutical compounds and an endocrine disruptor from aqueous solutions by carbon materials.

Adsorption has been used to study the removal of atenolol, caffeine, diclofenac and isoproturon, pharmaceutical compounds as emerging contaminants and an endocrine disruptor from ultrapure water and a municipal wastewater treatment plant effluent with three carbonaceous materials: activated carbon, multiwalled carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers. The adsorption capacities were studied in the temperature range of 25-65°C and pH range from 3 to 9. Several model isotherms were used to model the adsorption equilibrium data.

Rv3134c/devR/devS operon of Mycobacterium bovis BCG is differentially transcribed under "in vitro" stress conditions.

DevR is a transcriptional regulator that mediates the genetic response of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis to oxygen limitation and nitric oxide exposure. devR is part of an operon that includes the genes devS and Rv3134c, which encode an oxygen sensor protein and a protein that contains a universal stress protein domain, respectively. Here, we report the transcriptional analysis and quantitative expression of Rv3134c/devR/devS under in vitro stress conditions including oxygen limitation, low nutrients and ex vivo macrophage infection.

G and P genotypes of rotavirus circulating among children with diarrhea in the Colombian northern coast.

A study on the prevalence of rotavirus G and P genotypes was carried out based on 253 stool specimens obtained from children living in the Colombia northern coast region who were less than 3-years-old and who suffered from acute diarrhea. A previous study had detected the presence of rotavirus A in 90 (36.5%) of the 246 samples tested by enzyme immunoassay (EIA), and these strains were investigated in the present study.
