The issue of a possible association between Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome and diabetes has been debated for many years. This review updates the Italian Shwachman-Diamond registry, confirming our previous findings that suggest that these patients might be at higher risk of developing diabetes, particularly type 1. These data are of relevance in the clinical follow-up of patients in everyday life, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis and timely intervention.

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a serious public health problem in South America, one that the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) has included in its Plan of Action for the Control of Neglected Infectious Diseases. A logical framework for CE control was defined: this includes establishing the objective to be achieved (eradication or elimination as a public health problem) and determining levels of endemicity which serve as a guide for establishing frequencies of intervention (high endemicity, endemic, and low endemicity, according to rates in the different hosts). There are two validated tools for CE control: systematic deworming of dogs using praziquantel (PZQ) and systematic vaccination of sheep with recombinant EG95 protein, or a combination of both tools.
