The clinical course and morphological changes in 33 limb joints in 20 burnt patients with pyocyanic arthritis have been studied. The latter is characterized by a grave clinical course and not infrequently complicated with sepsis which becomes especially hazardous after destruction of articular cartilages. Destructive changes in the joints would develop in different terms: following 25-45 days in large joints, in smaller one 10-15 days after the appearance of the clinical picture of this complication. Surgical therapy (arthrotomy, amputation of the extremity) associated with conservative measures (antibacterial therapy, blood transfusion, etc) should be considered to be the mostly effective treatment for destructive forms of arthritis.

A historical perspective of more than one hundred years of influenza surveillance in New York State demonstrates the progression from anecdotes and case counts to next-generation sequencing and electronic database management, greatly improving pandemic preparedness and response. Here, we determined if influenza virologic surveillance at the New York State public health laboratory (NYS PHL) tests sufficient specimen numbers within preferred confidence limits to assess situational awareness and detect novel viruses that pose a pandemic risk. To this end, we analyzed retrospective electronic data on laboratory test results for the influenza seasons 1997-1998 to 2021-2022 according to sample sizes recommended in the Influenza Virologic Surveillance Right Size Roadmap issued by the Association of Public Health Laboratories and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
