Integrating maternal, newborn, child health and non-communicable disease care in the sustainable development goal era.

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and maternal newborn and child health (MNCH) are two deeply intertwined health areas that have been artificially separated by global health policies, resource allocations and programming. Optimal MNCH care can provide a unique opportunity to screen for, prevent and manage early signs of NCDs developing in both the woman and the neonate. This paper considers how NCDs, NCD modifiable risk factors, and NCD metabolic risk factors impact MNCH.

Fat Embolism Syndrome Complicated by Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage After a Minimally Displaced Tibia Fracture: A Case Report.

Case: A 26-year-old man with a minimally displaced tibial shaft fracture after an all-terrain vehicle crush injury rapidly developed fat embolism syndrome (FES), leading to diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) preoperatively. He was treated with an intramedullary rod 10 days after injury after a complicated clinical course and went on to full union with no long-term mental or systemic sequelae.

Conclusions: FES is a known complication of long bone fractures, frequently presenting with hypoxemia.

Characterization of an immune-evading doxycycline-inducible lentiviral vector for gene therapy in the spinal cord.

Gene therapy is a powerful approach to promote spinal cord regeneration. For a clinical application it is important to restrict therapeutic gene expression to the appropriate time window to limit unwanted side effects. The doxycycline (dox)-inducible system is a widely used regulatable gene expression platform, however, this system depends on a bacterial-derived immunogenic transactivator.

Validation Study for PathogenDx EnviroX-F Assay for the Detection of Listeria, L. monocytogenes, and Salmonella in Environmental Surface Samples: AOAC Performance Tested MethodSM 092001.

Background: The PathogenDx EnviroX-F uses microarray technology to simultaneously detect Listeria species, Listeria monocytogenes, and Salmonella species from environmental samples without the need for enrichment.

Objective: The validation study included a matrix study of four matrices (stainless steel, plastic, rubber, and sealed concrete) comparing the PathogenDx EnviroX-F assay to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM) Chapter 10, "Detection of L. monocytogenes in Foods and Environmental Samples, and Enumeration of L.

Independent Study for the Detectx Combined Assay for the Detection of Aspergillus, Salmonella, and STEC (stx1 and/or 2) in Dried Cannabis Flower and Dried Hemp Flower: Level 3 Modification Study 012201.

Background: The PathogenDx family of assays uses microarray technology to simultaneously detect the presence of bacterial and fungal pathogens in food products, environmental surfaces, and cannabis products.

Objective: The Detectx Combined assay was validated for the detection of Aspergillus, (Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger, and Aspergillus terreus), Salmonella, and a broad range of STEC (stx1 and/or 2) species. The validation consisted of two matrix studies in dried hemp flower and dried cannabis flower (>0.
