Intramuscular Hematoma as a Manifestation of IgA Vasculitis

We describe an atypical pediatric case of immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV), also referred to as Henoch-Schönlein purpura, in which formation of spontaneous hematoma of the paraspinal muscles developed. Spontaneous or unprovoked hematomas rarely occur in IgAV. These manifestations have not been described specifically in the pediatric literature as coinciding with IgAV. These findings are alarming for nonaccidental trauma, particularly in a patient without underlying blood dyscrasia. Our objective for this report is to highlight the possible association of muscular hematoma formation with IgAV and to help providers consider this association when trauma and hemophilia has been ruled out.

Establishment of a Reverse Genetics System for Influenza D Virus [Genome Replication and Regulation of Viral Gene Expression]

Influenza D virus (IDV) was initially isolated in the United States in 2011. IDV is distributed worldwide and is one of the causative agents of the bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC), which causes high morbidity and mortality in feedlot cattle. The molecular mechanisms of IDV pathogenicity are still unknown. Reverse genetics systems are vital tools not only for studying the biology of viruses, but also for use in applications such as recombinant vaccine viruses. Here, we report the establishment of a plasmid-based reverse genetics system for IDV. We first verified that the 3'-terminal nucleotide of each 7-segmented genomic RNA contained uracil (U), contrary to previous reports, and we were then able to successfully generate recombinant IDV by cotransfecting 7 plasmids containing these genomic RNAs along with 4 plasmids expressing polymerase proteins and nucleoprotein into human rectal tumor 18G (HRT-18G) cells. The recombinant virus had a growth deficit compared to the wild-type virus, and we determined the reason for this growth difference by examining the genomic RNA content of the viral particles. We found that the recombinant virus incorporated an unbalanced ratio of viral RNA segments into particles compared to that of the wild-type virus, and thus we adjusted the amount of each plasmid used in transfection to obtain a recombinant virus with the same replicative capacity as the wild-type virus. Our work here in establishing a reverse genetics system for IDV will have a broad range of applications, including uses in studies focused on better understanding IDV replication and pathogenicity, as well as in those contributing to the development of BRDC countermeasures.

IMPORTANCE The bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC) causes high mortality and morbidity in cattle, causing economic losses worldwide. Influenza D virus (IDV) is considered to be a causative agent of the BRDC. Here, we developed a reverse genetics system that allows for the generation of IDV from cloned cDNAs and the introduction of mutations into the IDV genome. This reverse genetics system will become a powerful tool for use in studies related to understanding the molecular mechanisms of viral replication and pathogenicity and will also lead to the development of new countermeasures against the BRDC.

Lowering Gestational Diabetes Risk by Prenatal Weight Gain Counseling

Purpose:

Excess weight gain during pregnancy is at epidemic proportions, and pregnancy complications are also on the rise. We sought to determine whether better weight gain counseling of expectant mothers will improve obstetric outcomes.

Methods:

Our historic control study design included 2 years of preintervention data, then 6 months of physician and staff training in prenatal weight gain counseling in accordance with 2009 Institute of Medicine guidelines, and finally, 2 more years of data collection for postintervention outcomes. Seven family medicine residency clinics monitored 1571 continuity prenatal cases. Counseling recommendations were noted and the following outcomes were analyzed: gestational age, birth weight, route of delivery, and the incidences of hypertension and gestational diabetes. Multiple logistic regression was used to control for demographic variables and body mass index at enrollment.

Results:

Institute of Medicine congruent counseling increased from 10% to 63% (P < .01). Excess weight gain decreased from 46.4% to 41.5% (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 0.85; 95% CI, 0.63–1.16; P = .10). Gestational diabetes decreased significantly from 11.5% to 7.3% (P = .008). The difference remained statistically significant even after adjusting for prepregnancy obesity and other clinical and demographic characteristics (AOR = 0.54; 95% CI, 0.32–0.91; P = .02). Differences in gestational age, birth weight, hypertension, primary cesarean, and shoulder dystocia were not statistically significant.

Conclusions:

Improved weight gain counseling of prenatal patients by physicians did reduce the pregnancy complication of gestational diabetes. This occurred even though the trend toward less excess weight gain was not statistically significant.

Establishment of 5'-3' interactions in mRNA independent of a continuous ribose-phosphate backbone [ARTICLE]

Functions of eukaryotic mRNAs are characterized by intramolecular interactions between their ends. We have addressed the question whether 5' and 3' ends meet by diffusion-controlled encounter "through solution" or by a mechanism involving the RNA backbone. For this purpose, we used a translation system derived from Drosophila embryos that displays two types of 5'–3' interactions: Cap-dependent translation initiation is stimulated by the poly(A) tail and inhibited by Smaug recognition elements (SREs) in the 3' UTR. Chimeric RNAs were made consisting of one RNA molecule carrying a luciferase coding sequence and a second molecule containing SREs and a poly(A) tail; the two were connected via a protein linker. The poly(A) tail stimulated translation of such chimeras even when disruption of the RNA backbone was combined with an inversion of the 5'–3' polarity between the open reading frame and poly(A) segment. Stimulation by the poly(A) tail also decreased with increasing RNA length. Both observations suggest that contacts between the poly(A) tail and the 5' end are established through solution, independently of the RNA backbone. In the same chimeric constructs, SRE-dependent inhibition of translation was also insensitive to disruption of the RNA backbone. Thus, tracking of the backbone is not involved in the repression of cap-dependent initiation. However, SRE-dependent repression was insensitive to mRNA length, suggesting that the contact between the SREs in the 3' UTR and the 5' end of the RNA might be established in a manner that differs from the contact between the poly(A) tail and the cap.

Establishing and quantifying the causal linkage between drainage and earthworks performance for Highways England

Transportation infrastructure owners manage an array of different asset types such as bridges, road pavements, earthworks and drainage. Currently, most organization management procedures are siloed by asset type; however, there are important interactions between these asset groups that need to be managed in a cross-asset way. Although these interactions are known, there is little or no quantification of these interactions. For the first time, this paper quantifies that 74% of Highways England's earthwork failures are a result of drainage-related problems, either the lack of drainage infrastructure or the poor performance of it. The analysis undertaken is an important first step not only in moving towards more connected asset management planning for earthworks and drainage, but to also provide guidance for other owners of earthwork infrastructure assets to improve their strategic asset management procedures.

Understanding how patients establish strategies for living with asthma: a qualitative study in UK primary care as part of IMP2ART

BackgroundIn the context of a variable condition such as asthma, patient recognition of deteriorating control and knowing what prompt action to take is crucial. Yet, implementation of recommended self-management strategies remains poor.AimTo explore how patients with asthma and parents/carers of children with asthma develop and establish recommended self-management strategies for living with asthma, and how clinicians can best support the process.Design and settingA qualitative study in UK primary care.MethodPatients with asthma and parents/carers of children with asthma from 10 general practices were purposively sampled (using age, sex, and duration of asthma) to participate in focus groups or interviews between May 2016 and August 2016. Participants’ experiences of health care, management of asthma, and views on supported self-management were explored. Interviews and focus group sessions were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Iterative thematic analysis was conducted, guided by the research questions and drawing on habit theory in discussion with a multidisciplinary research team.ResultsA total of 49 participants (45 patients; 4 parents/carers) took part in 32 interviews and five focus groups. Of these, 11 reported using an action plan. Patients learnt how to self-manage over time, building knowledge from personal experience and other sources, such as the internet. Some regular actions, for example, taking medication, became habitual. Dealing with new or unexpected scenarios required reflective abilities, which may be supported by a tailored action plan.ConclusionPatients reported learning intuitively how to self-manage. Some regular actions became habitual; dealing with the unexpected required more reflective cognitive skills. In order to support implementation of optimal asthma self- management, clinicians should consider both these aspects of self-management and support, and educate patients proactively.
