1. Immune Responses to Some Viral Infections That Have a High Evolutionary Potential—A Case Report with Literature Review

Author: Maria Lucia Sur, Bogdan-Stefan Moldovan, Diana Mocanu, Gabriel Samasca, Iulia Lupan, Ionel Armat, Marin Harabagiu, Genel Sur, and Calin Lazar
Subjects: viral infections, infectious associations, treatment, Science
Abstract: Viral infections are a key issue in modern medicine. SARS-CoV-2 infection confirms that we are not sufficiently prepared for these unforeseen infections. The COVID-19 pandemic has cultivated a great sense of fear and distrust in patients. If viral infections, in this case, SARS-CoV-2, overlap with another infection, the symptoms are prolonged and worsened, and complications may occur. Starting from an objective clinical finding of a patient they had in follow-up and treatment, the authors present the problems of the diseases the patient suffered from. These are described as reviews so that readers can get an idea of the clinical methods of expression and the therapeutic possibilities. Therefore, this article describes Lyme disease and post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome, SARS-CoV-2 infection, and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MISC-C), as the patient suffered from an incomplete form of Kawasaki disease. During the treatment for Lyme disease, the patient also contracted the influenza type A virus. Although any of these diseases could have the potential for serious evolution, our patient still went through these infections relatively well. This can be explained by the fact that the patient had a slow immune response to the aforementioned infections, which allowed him to survive these diseases relatively easily, unlike other individuals who have an exaggerated immune response or who suffer from serious immune involvement, e.g., hepatitis B with a fulminant response. The case was presented chronologically, but at the same time, all particular infection manifestations were accurately described. For these reasons, the article is presented in the form of a review, exemplified by the case itself. Of the 52 cases of MISC-C found in the Pediatrics Clinic II of Cluj-Napoca, we present the case of a male patient who presented with Lyme disease, post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome, Kawasaki disease, and MISC-C incomplete form.

2. Food Allergy a Constant Concern to the Medical World and Healthcare Providers: Practical Aspects

Author: Lucia M. Sur, Ionel Armat, Emanuela Duca, Genel Sur, Iulia Lupan, Daniel Sur, Gabriel Samasca, Cecilia Lazea, and Calin Lazar
Subjects: immunopathology, perspective, management, children, adult, diagnosis, Science
Abstract: Food allergy (FA) is a condition with a growing incidence and is a constant concern for the medical world and healthcare providers. With potential symptoms including anaphylaxis, in the event of an allergic reaction the patient’s life may well be endangered. The diagnosis of FA is a continuous challenge because mild cases tend to be ignored or diagnosed late and young children with allergies are cared for by parents, who are not always able to accurately interpret symptoms. It is very important to be able to differentiate FAs from food intolerance and toxic reactions to food. An accurate diagnosis is required to provide personalized management of an FA. More sophisticated and accurate diagnostic tests, including component diagnosis and epitope reactivity, allow the provision of a directed diagnosis, a more accurate therapeutic approach, and a useful prognostic evaluation. Tests used in current practice include the specific search for serum IgE, elimination diets, oral food challenges, single, blind, and double-blind (DBPCFC) tests, as well as skin tests. The risk of anaphylaxis can be assessed by molecular diagnostics/component-resolved diagnosis (CRD) and by conducting a basophilic activation test (BAT). These tests allow a planned, personalized treatment based on molecular and clinical profiles. CRD can determine the individual profile of allergic molecular reactivity and enable the formulation of a prognostic judgment. Our article highlights the importance of knowing the immune mechanisms, diagnostics, and immunotherapies in FAs. Starting from observing exposure to food allergens, to identifying allergic reactions, analysing the severity of clinical manifestations, noting the possibilities of diagnosis, and illustrating adequate management strategies.

5. Different Chronic Disorders That Fall within the Term Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Author: Lucia M. Sur, Remus Gaga, Emanuela Duca, Genel Sur, Iulia Lupan, Daniel Sur, Gabriel Samasca, Cecilia Lazea, and Calin Lazar
Subjects: juvenile idiopathic arthritis, diagnosis, subtype, subclassifications, Science
Abstract: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) represents a significant challenge for pediatricians who intend to diagnose and treat this pathology. The classification criteria for JIA subtypes are rigid and often do not fully satisfy the possibilities of classification in the subtype. The objective of this study was to identify clearer criteria for classifying JIA subtypes. The 2019 expert committee meeting (PRINTO) shows the difficulties of this classification and proposes new research directions for the identification of disease subtypes. Four different chronic disorders are used to define JIA in a concise and easy to follow classification system. However, dates from the literature suggest that at least 10% of cases are still difficult to classify. Possibly in the future, different classifications of JIA based on pathophysiological and genetic criteria would be necessary.

6. PROCALCITONIN, C-REACTIVE PROTEIN AND ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE IN PERIODIC FEVER, APHTHOUS STOMATITIS, PHARYNGITIS AND CERVICAL ADENITIS (PFAPA SYNDROME)

Author: Cecilia Lazea, Calin Lazar, and Laura Damian
Subjects: pfapa syndrome, procalcitonin, c-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, Medicine, Immunologic diseases. Allergy, RC581-607
Abstract: Aim. Although PFAPA syndrome is the most common cause of recurrent fever in children, the diagnosis is rarely established and it is a diagnosis of exclusion because there are no specific diagnostic tests. The aim of this study was to assess the value of procalcitonin, C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in diagnosis of febrile attacks in PFAPA syndrome. Material and methods. C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and procalcitonin were measured in 16 children with PFAPA syndrome during febrile attacks and in 12 children with bacterial pneumonia (control group A) and 18 children with bacterial tonsillitis (control group B). Results. No significantly statistic differences were recorded for CRP and ESR between the PFAPA group and control groups. Procalcitonin was undetectable in all children with PFAPA syndrome. Conclusion. Procalcitonin can be a useful marker for differential diagnosis between febrile attacks of PFAPA syndrome and acute bacterial infection in children.

Comparison between the two groups divided by age at onset was also investigated.Results: Median age at onset was 1.58 years, and median age at diagnosis was 2.97 years. The mean interval between episodes was 35.5 days and the mean duration per febrile episode was 4.1 days. The median diagnosis delay was 2.42 years. The patients presented pharyngitis (100%), adenitis (94.8%) and aphthous lesions (66.7%). The frequency of febrile attacks was higher in children with an age at diagnosis under 1 year (p = 0.0287). Younger age was associated with the presence of aphthae. The mean value of C-reactive protein (CRP) was 7.9mg/dl and the mean value of leucocytes was 14,839/mm3. In 95% of patients given oral corticosteroids, remission of symptoms was reported within 24 h. In three patients, tonsillectomy was performed with complete remission of the disease.Conclusion: We present a cohort of children with PFAPA syndrome, with clinical and laboratory features similar to those described in the literature. Febrile attacks had a higher incidence in children with younger age at the onset of the disease. The patients had a favorable response to corticosteroids.Keywords: PFAPA syndrome, periodic fever, child

9. Practical Aspects of Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Children

Author: Lucia Maria Sur, Ionel Armat, Genel Sur, Ioana Badiu Tisa, Madalina Adriana Bordea, Iulia Lupan, Gabriel Samasca, and Calin Lazar
Subjects: General Medicine
Abstract: Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGB) in children is a potentially life-threatening condition that represents a challenge for pediatricians and pediatric surgeons. It is defined as bleeding from any location within the upper esophagus to the ligament of Treitz. UGB can have many causes that vary with age. The impact on the child is often proportional to the amount of blood lost. This can range from mild bleeding that is unlikely to cause hemodynamic instability, to massive bleeding that requires admission to the intensive care unit. Proper and prompt management are very important factors in reducing morbidity and mortality. This article aims to summarize current research regarding the diagnosis and treatment of UGB. Most of the data used in the literature published on this subject is extrapolated from adulthood.

10. Initiatives and exposures associated with food security in remote and isolated communities: a scoping review

Author: Mallory Drysdale, Kelly Skinner, Calin Lazarescu, Alix Couture, Shelley Young, and Leanne Idzerda
Subjects: food cost, food security, Indigenous, interventions, isolated, traditional foods., Special situations and conditions, RC952-1245, Public aspects of medicine, RA1-1270
Abstract: Introduction: Chronic household food insecurity (HFI) and lack of food availability and accessibility in isolated communities are longstanding public health crises. This review aims to paint a more fulsome picture of food security initiatives in remote and isolated communities by examining programs across circumpolar countries, Australia, and Aotearoa New Zealand. This synthesis of research will contribute to an understanding of what types of initiatives exist and aid in the identification of best practices. Methods: The authors conducted a scoping review identifying articles that include either (1) an evaluation of an initiative with a quantitative food security outcome in remote and isolated communities, or (2) quantitative associations between exposure factors with food security outcomes. Inclusion criteria included English and French articles focused on remote and isolated communities in Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Greenland, and Russia from January 1997 to July 2022. Results: The article search yielded 1882 results, of which 96 fulfilled the inclusion criteria, including 26 studies evaluating initiatives, 66 studies evaluating exposure factors, and four studies that included both initiatives and exposure factors. The majority of the studies included in this review were conducted in Canada and Australia. No initiative studies conducted in Russia, Greenland, Norway, Finland, or Sweden fulfilled the criteria for inclusion in this review. The most common types of initiatives evaluated included school-based programs, market subsidies, and education initiatives, though a small number (

Abstract: It is well known and proven that heavy metal contamination of the soils can severely affect the health of the people living in the contaminated areas given the ease with which trace elements can enter the human body. In addition-to agricultural crop depreciation as well as soil erosion, soil pollution can negatively affect the natural function of ecosystems. While certain heavy metals in high doses can be harmful to the body, others such as cadmium, mercury, lead, chromium, silver and arsenic in minimal amounts have delusional effects on the body, causing acute and chronic intoxication. Our research is focused on the identification of heavy metals from the soil (O, Al, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Na, P, Pb, Si, Ti, Zn) in 3 areas in Transylvania where factories were in operation, using 4 methods: UV-VIS spectrometry, AAS, SEM-EDAX and X-ray diffractions. High levels of very toxic trace elements such as lead, aluminum, cadmium were found near the studied areas, especially using SEM-EDAX and AAS methods. Knowledge on the soil concentration of TEs, the time exposure and the side effects can lead us to predict the health status of the exposed population. In our study, by determinating the concentration of TEs we set out to formulate a prediction on the health status of the exposed population using literature data.

Abstract: Diagnosis of Kawasaki disease (KD) is based on well-established clinical criteria. In incomplete or atypical KD, the diagnosis is challenging, because of the paucity of clinical signs or because of the presence of clinical manifestations that generally are not seen in KD. We describe the case of a 3-year-old female patient with persistent high fever, vomiting, watery diarrhea, metabolic acidosis and severe hypopotassemia. On the fourth day of fever, bilateral conjunctivitis, mucous and extremity changes were registered. Urine changes as glycosuria and proteinuria were also noticed. Echocardiography revealed ectasia of the left anterior descending coronary artery, and diagnosis of KD was established. The treatment consisted of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and oral aspirin. Recurrence of disease was recorded on the 23rd day of the disease, with favorable evolution after the second dose of IVIG was infused.

Abstract: Patients with Kawasaki disease (KD) may develop cardiovascular complications in the presence of predictive factors, including young age6 months, male gender, unfavorable response to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), low albuminemia, thrombocytosis, fever over 8 days, increased C-reactive protein (CRP), elevated levels of 25 OH vitamin D3, elevated levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), elevated D-dimers, elevated ferritin. The objectives of this study were to determine the laboratory negative predictive factors for the occurrence of cardiac complications in children with KD. Studies in the literature that dealt with these predictive factors were analyzed.We followed the studies published in PubMed over a 10-year period. Seventy articles were reviewed and, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 20 articles were selected.We evaluated the population studies which showed factors can predict the occurrence of heart complications. These factors were different depending on age and depending on resistance to IVIG treatment.Some biological parameters such as low albumin, thrombocytosis, increased CRP, elevated levels of 25 OH vitamin D3, elevated levels of FGF23, elevated D-dimers, and elevated ferritin could be considered as laboratory negative predictive factors for CAL.

Subjects: Original Paper
Abstract: Background: The depressive syndrome is commonly found in children suffering from chronic diseases, which is also present in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Objective: This study proposed to analyze depression's incidence in children with JIA. We also monitored the evolution of depression with the improvement of the disease under treatment. Material and methods: We followed 145 patients suffering from JIA according to ILAR and Edmonton classification in 2001. The study was conducted over three years between 2015 and 2017. The assessment of depression was made using the Hamilton scale adapted for children by us. This scale consists of 11 fields with multiple questions, the evaluation was made by counting the score. The scale assesses overall depression intensity. It has a maximum score of 28 points, and one with eight points defines depression. Results: The results obtained using the Hamilton scale showed that, from the total of 145 patients suffering from JIA, 35 (24%) experienced mild depression, 10 (7%) moderate depression and 26 were borderline; 74 children did not experience the depressive syndrome. In the control group, depression was found in only 5% of subjects. After administering the most appropriate treatment, symptoms of depression have been improved and the depression score has decreased. Conclusion: The Hamilton questionnaire adapted for children is easy to apply and it is an important tool for assessing depression. Depression has been present in one-third of patients with JIA selected for this study. The symptoms of depression have been correlated with disease activity. Depression does not influence the disease, but the disease induces depression.

Abstract: Food allergy (FA) is a condition with a growing incidence and is a constant concern for the medical world and healthcare providers. With potential symptoms including anaphylaxis, in the event of an allergic reaction the patient’s life may well be endangered. The diagnosis of FA is a continuous challenge because mild cases tend to be ignored or diagnosed late and young children with allergies are cared for by parents, who are not always able to accurately interpret symptoms. It is very important to be able to differentiate FAs from food intolerance and toxic reactions to food. An accurate diagnosis is required to provide personalized management of an FA. More sophisticated and accurate diagnostic tests, including component diagnosis and epitope reactivity, allow the provision of a directed diagnosis, a more accurate therapeutic approach, and a useful prognostic evaluation. Tests used in current practice include the specific search for serum IgE, elimination diets, oral food challenges, single, blind, and double-blind (DBPCFC) tests, as well as skin tests. The risk of anaphylaxis can be assessed by molecular diagnostics/component-resolved diagnosis (CRD) and by conducting a basophilic activation test (BAT). These tests allow a planned, personalized treatment based on molecular and clinical profiles. CRD can determine the individual profile of allergic molecular reactivity and enable the formulation of a prognostic judgment. Our article highlights the importance of knowing the immune mechanisms, diagnostics, and immunotherapies in FAs. Starting from observing exposure to food allergens, to identifying allergic reactions, analysing the severity of clinical manifestations, noting the possibilities of diagnosis, and illustrating adequate management strategies.

Abstract: ABSTRACTThe Nutrition North Canada (NNC) program, introduced in April 2011 is a federal strategy to improve access to perishable, nutritious foods for remote and isolated communities in northern Canada by subsidising retailers to provide price reductions at the point of purchase. As of March 2023, 123 communities are eligible for the program. To evaluate existing evidence and research on the NNC program to inform policy decisions to improve the effectiveness of NNC. A scoping review of peer-reviewed articles was conducted in ten databases along with a supplemental grey literature search of government and non-government reports published between 2011 and 2022. The search yielded 172 publications for screening, of which 42 were included in the analysis. Narrative thematic evidence synthesis yielded 104 critiques and 341 recommendations of the NNC program across eight themes. The most-identified recommendations focus on transparency, communication, and support for harvesting, hunting, and community food initiatives. This review highlights recommendations informed by the literature to address critiques of the NNC program to improve food security, increase access to perishable and non-perishable items, and support community-based food initiatives among eligible communities. The review also identifies priority areas for future policy directions such as additional support for education initiatives, communication and transparency amidst program changes, and food price regulations.

Abstract: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) represents a significant challenge for pediatricians who intend to diagnose and treat this pathology. The classification criteria for JIA subtypes are rigid and often do not fully satisfy the possibilities of classification in the subtype. The objective of this study was to identify clearer criteria for classifying JIA subtypes. The 2019 expert committee meeting (PRINTO) shows the difficulties of this classification and proposes new research directions for the identification of disease subtypes. Four different chronic disorders are used to define JIA in a concise and easy to follow classification system. However, dates from the literature suggest that at least 10% of cases are still difficult to classify. Possibly in the future, different classifications of JIA based on pathophysiological and genetic criteria would be necessary.

Abstract: Objective To build a prediction model for uveitis in children with JIA for use in current clinical practice. Methods Data from the international observational Pharmachild registry were used. Adjusted risk factors as well as predictors for JIA-associated uveitis (JIA-U) were determined using multivariable logistic regression models. The prediction model was selected based on the Akaike information criterion. Bootstrap resampling was used to adjust the final prediction model for optimism. Results JIA-U occurred in 1102 of 5529 JIA patients (19.9%). The majority of patients that developed JIA-U were female (74.1%), ANA positive (66.0%) and had oligoarthritis (59.9%). JIA-U was rarely seen in patients with systemic arthritis (0.5%) and RF positive polyarthritis (0.2%). Independent risk factors for JIA-U were ANA positivity [odds ratio (OR): 1.88 (95% CI: 1.54, 2.30)] and HLA-B27 positivity [OR: 1.48 (95% CI: 1.12, 1.95)] while older age at JIA onset was an independent protective factor [OR: 0.84 (9%% CI: 0.81, 0.87)]. On multivariable analysis, the combination of age at JIA onset [OR: 0.84 (95% CI: 0.82, 0.86)], JIA category and ANA positivity [OR: 2.02 (95% CI: 1.73, 2.36)] had the highest discriminative power among the prediction models considered (optimism-adjusted area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.75). Conclusion We developed an easy to read model for individual patients with JIA to inform patients/parents on the probability of developing uveitis.

Abstract: Introduction. At the moment there is not enough data in Romania about the incidence of the main genetic mutations which can cause hearing loss. Objective. The current research aims to determine on a representative sample the prevalence of two mutations of genes GJB2 -c.35delG and p.W24X- and two mutations of genes GJB6 -del(GJB6-D13S1830), del(GJB6-D13S1854) respectively - in patients with congenital nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss (CNSHL). Methods: The sample group included 179 children with CNSHL. The evaluation consist in: a.Clinical, laboratory and imagistic examination; b.ENT exam and audiological evaluation. c.Two methods (semi-nested PCR technique followed by RFLP, validated with ARMS-PCR analysis) for detection of c.35delG and pW24X mutations; d.PCR-multiplex technique for detecting del(GJB6-D13S1830) and del (GJB6-D13S1854). Results: The audiological diagnosis was: profound hearing loss in 116 patients (64.8%), severe hearing loss in 29 children (16.2%) and moderate hearing loss in 34 patients (representing 19% of the trial patients). The prevalence for the three mutations was: 27.3 % for c.35delG, 3.6 % for p.W24X and 0.28% for del(GJB6-D13S1830). The detection of the three mutations (two on GJB2 gene and one on GJB 6 gene) has allowed to establish the genetic cause for deafness in 45 patients, representing 25.14% of the sample group. Our study is reporting the first case in Romania with a mutation of gene GJB6. Mutation del(GJB6-D13S1854) lacked in all 179 patients. Conclusion: The prevalence data obtained in the current research are comparable to data communicated by studies from other European countries.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-04-01 IRCCS Istituto Giannina Gaslini Background To our knowledge, the characteristics and burden of childhood arthritis have never been studied on a worldwide basis. We aimed to investigate, with a cross-sectional study, the prevalence of disease categories, treatment methods, and disease status in patients from across different geographical areas and from countries with diverse wealth status. Methods In this multinational, cross-sectional, observational cohort study, we asked international paediatric rheumatologists from specialised centres to enrol children with a diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, according to International League of Associations for Rheumatology criteria, who were seen consecutively for a period of 6 months. Each patient underwent retrospective and cross-sectional assessments, including measures of disease activity and damage and questionnaires on the wellbeing and quality of life of the children. We qualitatively compared the collected data across eight geographical areas, and we explored an association between disease activity and damage and a country's gross domestic product (GDP) with a multiple logistic regression analysis. Findings Between April 4, 2011, and Nov 21, 2016, 9081 patients were enrolled at 130 centres in 49 countries, grouped into eight geographical areas. Systemic arthritis (125 [33.0%] of 379 patients) and enthesitis-related arthritis (113 [29.8%] of 379) were more common in southeast Asia, whereas oligoarthritis was more prevalent in southern Europe (1360 [56.7%] of 2400) and rheumatoid factor-negative polyarthritis was more frequent in North America (165 [31.5%] of 523) than in the other areas. Prevalence of uveitis was highest in northern Europe (161 [19.1%] of 845 patients) and southern Europe (450 [18.8%] of 2400) and lowest in Latin America (54 [6.4%] of 849), Africa and Middle East (71 [5.9%] of 1209), and southeast Asia (19 [5.0%] of 379). Median age at disease onset was lower in southern Europe (3.5 years, IQR 1.9-7.3) than in other regions. Biological, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs were prescribed more frequently in northern Europe and North America than in other geographical settings. Patients living in countries with lower GDP had greater disease activity and damage than those living in wealthier countries. Damage was associated with referral delay. Interpretation Our study documents a variability in prevalence of disease phenotypes and disparities in therapeutic choices and outcomes across geographical areas and wealth status of countries. The greater disease burden in lowerresource settings highlights the need for public health efforts aimed at improving equity in access to effective treatments and care for juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

Abstract: Abstract Objective: The objective of this systematic review is to synthesise the evidence on public policy interventions and their ability to reduce household food insecurity (HFI) in Canada. Design: Four databases were searched up to October 2023. Only studies that reported on public policy interventions that might reduce HFI were included, regardless of whether that was the primary purpose of the study. Title and abstract screening, full-text screening, data extraction, risk of bias and certainty of the evidence assessments were conducted by two reviewers. Results: Seventeen relevant studies covering three intervention categories were included: income supplementation, housing assistance programmes and food retailer subsidies. Income supplementation had a positive effect on reducing HFI with a moderate to high level of certainty. Housing assistance programmes and food retailer studies may have little to no effect on HFI; however, there is low certainty in the evidence that could change as evidence emerges. Conclusion: The evidence suggests that income supplementation likely reduces HFI for low-income Canadians. Many questions remain in terms of how to optimise this intervention and additional high-quality studies are still needed.

Allergy, business, procalcitonin
Abstract: Aim. Although PFAPA syndrome is the most common cause of recurrent fever in children, the diagnosis is rarely established and it is a diagnosis of exclusion because there are no specific diagnostic tests. The aim of this study was to assess the value of procalcitonin, C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in diagnosis of febrile attacks in PFAPA syndrome. Material and methods. C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and procalcitonin were measured in 16 children with PFAPA syndrome during febrile attacks and in 12 children with bacterial pneumonia (control group A) and 18 children with bacterial tonsillitis (control group B). Results. No significantly statistic differences were recorded for CRP and ESR between the PFAPA group and control groups. Procalcitonin was undetectable in all children with PFAPA syndrome. Conclusion. Procalcitonin can be a useful marker for differential diagnosis between febrile attacks of PFAPA syndrome and acute bacterial infection in children.

Subjects: Lead, metal, Indigenous peoples, north, risk assessment, Dene, Arctic medicine. Tropical medicine, RC955-962
Abstract: ABSTRACTUnderstanding lead exposure pathways is a priority because of its ubiquitous presence in the environment as well as the potential health risks. We aimed to identify potential lead sources and pathways of lead exposure, including long-range transport, and the magnitude of exposure in Arctic and subarctic communities. A scoping review strategy and screening approach was used to search literature from January 2000 to December 2020. A total of 228 academic and grey literature references were synthesised. The majority of these studies (54%) were from Canada. Indigenous people in Arctic and subarctic communities in Canada had higher levels of lead than the rest of Canada. The majority of studies in all Arctic countries reported at least some individuals above the level of concern. Lead levels were influenced by a number of factors including using lead ammunition to harvest traditional food and living in close proximity to mines. Lead levels in water, soil, and sediment were generally low. Literature showed the possibility of long-range transport via migratory birds. Household lead sources included lead-based paint, dust, or tap water. This literature review will help to inform management strategies for communities, researchers, and governments, with the aim of decreasing lead exposure in northern regions.

Abstract: The Juvenile Arthritis Multidimensional Assessment Report (JAMAR) is a new parent/patient-reported outcome measure that enables a thorough assessment of the disease status in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). We report the results of the cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the parent and patient versions of the JAMAR in the Romanian language. The reading comprehension of the questionnaire was tested in 15 JIA parents and patients. Each participating centre was asked to collect demographic, clinical data and the JAMAR in 100 consecutive JIA patients or all consecutive patients seen in a 6-month period and to administer the JAMAR to 100 healthy children and their parents. The statistical validation phase explored descriptive statistics and the psychometric issues of the JAMAR: the three Likert assumptions, floor/ceiling effects, internal consistency, Cronbach’s alpha, interscale correlations, test–retest reliability, and construct validity (convergent and discriminant validity). A total of 310 JIA patients (11.9% systemic, 21.6% oligoarticular, 31.9% RF-negative polyarthritis, 34.6% other categories) and 100 healthy children, were enrolled in six centres. The JAMAR components discriminated well healthy subjects from JIA patients except for the health-related quality of life psychosocial health subscales. All JAMAR components revealed good psychometric performances. In conclusion, the Romanian version of the JAMAR is a valid tool for the assessment of children with JIA and is suitable for use both in routine clinical practice and clinical research.

Abstract: Hyperimmunoglobulin D syndrome due to mevalonate kinase deficiency is a rare autoinflammatory disease with digestive tract involvement. We report an 11-year female child who has presented since the age of 1 year, bouts of fever, rash, joint swelling, pulmonary consolidation, lymph node involvement and hepatosplenomegaly. Hyperimmunglobulin D and increased urinary mevalonic acid were detected. The ultrasonographic features of hepatosplenomegaly ranged from increment in size to pseudotumoral involvement, with hypoechogenic masses without apparent wall. Abdominal CT during a disease flare showed hypodense, hypoenhancing nodular lesions, suggesting metastases. Nevertheless, a thorough search for malignancy was negative and the masses disappeared after the flare. Mevalonate kinase deficiency may add to the causes of hepatosplenic and pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumors.

Abstract: Objective In Central and South-Eastern European countries, the most frequent mutation types responsible for congenital nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss (NSHL) are c.35delG and p.W24X (15–55.8% and 2.5–4.3%, respectively). The aim of the study was to determine for the first time in Romania the prevalence of c.35delG and p.W24X mutations in patients with NSHL. Material 75 unrelated children with NSHL from Transylvania (North-West Romania). Methods a. Audiological examination (otoscopy, tympanogram, acoustic otoemission and tonal audiogram or auditory evoked potentials); b. detection of the c.35delG (semi-nested-PCR, RFLP and ARMS-PCR analysis) and p.W24X (ARMS-PCR analysis) mutations. Results Audiological examination allowed the diagnosis of hearing loss of various degrees: moderate in 8 patients (10.7%), severe in 14 cases (18.7%), profound in 53 patients (70.6%). The number of reported mutation cases as against the number of alleles indicates a 33.3% frequency rate for c.35delG mutation and respectively 5.3% for p.W24X mutation. All 22 patients with 35delG/c.35delG genotype (19 patients), c.35delG/p.W24X genotype (2 patients) or p.W24X/p.W24X genotype (1 patient) presented profound/severe hearing loss. Conclusion Our study confirms that the frequency rate of the two mutations analyzed in patients with NSHL from North-West Romania is comparable to that seen in other Central and South-Eastern European countries. The homozygote or compound heterozygote states represent a major risk factor for profound or severe deafness. Audiological screening in newborns and genetic testing in confirmed congenital hypoacusis cases are compulsory for early therapeutic intervention (hearing prosthesis or cochlear implant) and genetic counselling.

30. Functional and Aesthetic Outcome of a Complex Upper-Limb Reconstruction after Criminal Caustic Injection.

Author: Calin Lazar
Subjects: *TISSUES, *PLASTIC surgery, *TRANSPLANTATION of organs, tissues, etc., *ETIOLOGY of diseases
Abstract: Extensive upper-limb injuries are usually secondary to accidental partial or complete avulsions or massive burns. Caustic injections are an exceptional etiology, with terrible lesions that present therapeutic challenges and major aftereffects. We report the case of a 41-year-old patient presenting with a large and deep anterior necrosis of the upper-limb anterior tissues, after a criminal intravenous injection of caustic soda on the inner side of his left elbow. Reconstruction methods consisted of a homolateral latissimus dorsi pediculated flap, a humeroulnar vascular bypass, a medial nerve autograft, and a secondary palliative Brand 1 procedure. Final functional and aesthetic results, obtained after long-term physiotherapy, were unexpectedly good. In conclusion, reconstructive surgery of such major lesions cannot be considered without a multidisciplinary approach. Moreover, patients have to be well informed about the necessity of multiple surgical interventions, the risk of major handicap, and the unpredictable nature of the final outcome.

Abstract: Background Our aim was to investigate the prevalence and clinical relevance of inherited complement and antibody deficiency states in a large series of patients with various autoimmune rheumatologic diseases (ARD) with juvenile onset. Methods A total number of 117 consecutive patients from 2 tertiary referral hospitals were included in the study. All patients underwent genetic screening for type I C2 deficiency and C4 allotyping. Serum levels of immunoglobulin classes measured systematically throughout their regular medical care were recorded retrospectively. Results Our cohort of patients included 84 with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), 21 with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), 6 with systemic vasculitis, 2 with juvenile scleroderma, 2 with idiopathic uveitis, 1 with mixed connective tissue disease and 1 with SLE/scleroderma overlap syndrome. We have found 16 patients with evidence of primary immunodeficiency in our series (13.7 %), including 7 with C4 deficiency, 5 with selective IgA deficiency, 3 with C2 deficiency and 2 with unclassified hypogammaglobulinemia (one also presented C4D). Of the 84 patients with JIA, 4 (4.8 %) had a complement deficiency, which was less prevalent than in the SLE cohort (23.8 %), but all of them have exhibited an aggressive disease. Most of our patients with primary antibody deficiencies showed a more complicated and severe disease course and even the co-occurrence of two associated autoimmune diseases (SLE/scleroderma overlap syndrome and SLE/autoimmune hepatitis type 1 overlap). Conclusions Our findings among others demonstrate that complement and immunoglobulin immunodeficiencies need careful consideration in patients with ARD, as they are common and might contribute to a more severe clinical course of the disease.
