In one patient over time, we found that concentration of Ebola virus RNA in semen during recovery is remarkably higher than blood at peak illness. Virus in semen is replication-competent with no change in viral genome over time. Presence of sense RNA suggests replication in cells present in semen. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] more...

Ebola virus disease is a serious illness of humans and nonhuman primates (NHPs). Direct contact has been shown to be the primary source of Ebola (EBOV) transmission. We used a high-volume air sampler to determine whether EBOV could be detected during 3 independent studies with EBOV-challenged NHPs. Viral RNA was recovered during days 9 and 10 of Study I and days 7 and 8 of Study III. Viral RNA levels were below limits of detection during all other collections. The results demonstrate that the biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) suit protects workers from aerosols in a BSL-4 environment using proper engineering and administrative controls.

From September 2014 to April 2015, 6 persons who had occupational exposures to Zaire ebolavirus in West Africa received investigational agent rVSV-ZEBOV or TKM-100802 for postexposure prophylaxis and were monitored in the United States. All patients experienced self-limited symptoms after postexposure prophylaxis; none developed Ebola virus disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] more...

IMPORTANCE Safe and effective vaccines and drugs are needed for the prevention and treatment of Ebola virus disease, including following a potentially high-risk exposure such as a needlestick. OBJECTIVE To assess response to postexposure vaccination in a health care worker who was exposed to the Ebola virus. DESIGN AND SETTING Case report of a physician who experienced a needlestick while working in an Ebola treatment unit in Sierra Leone on September 26, 2014. Medical evacuation to the United States was rapidly initiated. Given the concern about potentially lethal Ebola virus disease, the patient was offered, and provided his consent for, postexposure vaccination with an experimental vaccine available through an emergency Investigational New Drug application. He was vaccinated on September 28,2014. INTERVENTIONS The vaccine used was VSVAG-ZEBOV, a replicating, attenuated, recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (serotype Indiana) whose surface glycoprotein gene was replaced by the Zaire Ebola virus glycoprotein gene. This vaccine has entered a clinical trial for the prevention of Ebola in West Africa. RESULTS The vaccine was administered 43 hours after the needlestick occurred. Fever and moderate to severe symptoms developed 12 hours after vaccination and diminished over 3 to 4 days. The real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction results were transiently positive for vesicular stomatitis virus nucleoprotein gene and Ebola virus glycoprotein gene (both included in the vaccine) but consistently negative for Ebola virus nucleoprotein gene (not in the vaccine). Early postvaccination cytokine secretion and T lymphocyte and plasmablast activation were detected. Subsequently, Ebola virus glycoprotein-specific antibodies and T cells became detectable, but antibodies against Ebola viral matrix protein 40 (not in the vaccine) were not detected. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE It is unknown if VSVAG-ZEBOV is safe or effective for postexposure vaccination in humans who have experienced a high-risk occupational exposure to the Ebola virus, such as a needlestick. In this patient, postexposure vaccination with VSVAG-ZEBOV induced a self-limited febrile syndrome that was associated with transient detection of the recombinant vesicular stomatitis vaccine virus in blood. Strong innate and Ebola-specific adaptive immune responses were detected after vaccination. The clinical syndrome and laboratory evidence were consistent with vaccination response, and no evidence of Ebola virus infection was detected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] more...

In May of 2011, an enteroaggregative Escherichia coli O104:H4 strain that had acquired a Shiga toxin 2-converting phage caused a large outbreak of bloody diarrhea in Europe which was notable for its high prevalence of hemolytic uremic syndrome cases. Several studies have described the genomic inventory and phylogenies of strains associated with the outbreak and a collection of historical E. coli O104:H4 isolates using draft genome assemblies. We present the complete, closed genome sequences of an isolate from the 2011 outbreak (2011C-3493) and two isolates from cases of bloody diarrhea that occurred in the Republic of Georgia in 2009 (2009EL-2050 and 2009EL-2071). Comparative genome analysis indicates that, while the Georgian strains are the nearest neighbors to the 2011 outbreak isolates sequenced to date, structural and nucleotide-level differences are evident in the Stx2 phage genomes, the mer/tet antibiotic resistance island, and in the prophage and plasmid profiles of the strains, including a previously undescribed plasmid with homology to the pMT virulence plasmid of Yersinia pestis. In addition, multiphenotype analysis showed that 2009EL-2071 possessed higher resistance to polymyxin and membrane-disrupting agents. Finally, we show evidence by electron microscopy of the presence of a common phage morphotype among the European and Georgian strains and a second phage morphotype among the Georgian strains. The presence of at least two stx2 phage genotypes in host genetic backgrounds that may derive from a recent common ancestor of the 2011 outbreak isolates indicates that the emergence of stx2 phage-containing E. coli O104:H4 strains probably occurred more than once, or that the current outbreak isolates may be the result of a recent transfer of a new stx2 phage element into a pre-existing stx2-positive genetic background.

The author is supportive of the work that a hospital ethics committee could do to help resolve an impasse which is seen in this case. more...

The introductory survey of media course is a standard offering in many media studies programs. Students' points of view about controversial issues treated in this class are quite susceptible to change. Indeed, a deliberately value-added approach to teaching this class acknowledges and appreciates that student opinions are likely to change in the direction of those espoused by the instructor. This research project compares the changes in students' viewpoints from the start of the semester to the conclusion, on 18 issues featured in Alexander and Hanson's (2001) Taking Sides: Clashing Views on Controversial Issues in Mass Media and Society. Statistically significant differences between survey responses early in the semester and late in the semester emerged for seven of the issues. Of these, five changed in the direction of the instructor's viewpoint; opinions on two other issues, however, changed in the opposite direction. The study provides a model for assessing outcomes beyond typical knowledge and achievement measures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] more...

13. The media's civil voice.

- Abstract
The war in the Gulf focused more sustained attention on the role of the press in international conflict than at any time since the Vietnam War. The subject crept into public debate briefly at the time of the U.S. invasions of Grenada and Panama, but not nearly to the degree that characterized the 1991 confrontation with Iraq. Yet for all the dismay expressed in debates, conferences, studies, panel discussions, articles, and academic papers about the U.S. news media's performance during hostilities, this emphasis on how the press behaves during wartime may be misplaced. The historical record is clear: The period of concern about press performance should come before a war starts because once a war does begin, good journalism is too late. Mainstream journalism in any society at any time tends to defer to the state's perspective during a shooting war, particularly during the early stages. The U.S. press in the Gulf (or Vietnam, Grenada, or Panama, for that matter) was no exception, underscoring the truth of Christopher Lasch's observation that war always represents a “monstrous intrusion of the public in the private.” In other words, the institutions of civil society are simply no match for the forces of nationalism and jingoism unleashed by modern warfare.

The article argues that the failure of journalism to exert an effective reality check against the power of a state and its policymakers has serious consequences for U.S. understanding of the Third World. It explores the economic, political, practical, ideological and professional constraints that keep Third World coverage within a generally narrow range such as the limited and selective attention the Third World receives in the U.S. media. It infers that the coverage of the Third World is unlikely to improve until the press is able to seize the subjective factors that impinge on the journalistic process. more...
