Study of some immunological signatures and their association with COVID-19 in a sample of recovered Iraqi patients

Since its emergence about two years ago, the novel coronavirus has continued to be a challenge and threat to public health, struck most parts of the world, leaving more than half a billion cases of infection and more than five million deaths. Immune response abnormalities post-infection with SARS-CoV-2 have been reported, and the mechanisms that lead to them are still ambiguous. This study was conducted to evaluate some immunological markers in the serum samples of COVID-19 convalescent patients and investigate the association of these immunological signatures with their age and sex. The serum levels of immunoglobulin G, interleukin-1 beta, and interferon lambda-1 of 75 patients and 50 healthy control group members were measured, with 55 % males and 45 % females participating and ages ranging from 20 to 80 years. The measurement of the immunological signatures was performed using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The result revealed highly significant elevated levels of the serum immunological signatures of the convalescent group in comparison to the control group, with P-values of 0.00001 for each signature. Moreover, age was observed to have an association with an elevated level of the immunological signatures as it increased in the elderly, whereas no association with sex was detected. The findings strongly suggest that COVID-19 infection results in a persistent inflammatory response, which leads to prolonged post-recovery symptoms. Post-COVID-19 syndrome necessitates additional research to clarify its pathophysiology, pathogenesis, and long-term implications.     

Left ventricular dysfunction during exercise in patients with angina pectoris and angiographically normal coronary arteries (syndrome X)

Left ventricular function during exercise and recovery was investigated in patients with angina pectoris, ST segment depression during exercise and angiographically normal coronary arteries (syndrome X) using a continuous left ventricular function monitor with cadmium telluride detector (CdTe-VEST). Fourteen patients with syndrome X and 14 patients with atypical chest pain without ST segment depression during exercise and normal coronary arteries (control group) performed supine ergometric exercise after administration of 740–925 MBq of technetium-99m labelled red blood cells, and left ventricular function was monitored every 20 s using CdTe-VEST. Left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) response was impaired (55% increase from rest to peak exercise) in 11 or 14 patients with syndrome X but in none of the control patients. Resting EF was similar in the two groups (62.1%±6.7% in patients with syndrome X, 61.9%±6.2% in controls); however, EF increase from rest to peak exercise was lower in syndrome X (–3.1±9.5% vs 14.7%±7.4%, P <0.001). After cessation of exercise, all patients showed rapid EF increase over baseline and this EF overshoot was lower (19.3%±8.3% vs 26.4%±7.3%, P <0.001) with the time to EF overshoot longer (114±43 s vs 74±43 s, P<0.05) in patients with syndrome X. Thus, in patients with syndrome X, left ventricular dysfunction was frequently observed during exercise in spite of normal epicardial coronary arteries. Correspondence to: J. Taki     

Munchausen syndrome by proxy and factitious illness: Symptomatology,parent-child interaction,and psychopathology of the parents

The term Munchausen syndrome by proxy is used to diagnose children presenting symptoms of an organic disorder resulting from manipulations initiated by their caretakers. Even in early infancy it happens that injuries are induced, and that drugs, poisons or medicine are administered in order to provoke and feign clinical symptoms of severe diseases. Exact data on prevalence are not available but it is obvious that Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a rare psychiatric disorder. There is a body of evidence that Munchausen syndrome by proxy is nothing but the extreme of a broader clinical entity for which the term factitious illness has been introduced. In this group children are included whose mothers invent a history of disease in order to produce symptoms without actually damaging their children. It is not well established whether such a distinction is necessary and whether there are differences in long-term outcome. Onset of symptoms is as early as three weeks up to twelve years, and mean age of diagnosis according to a more comprehensive study is 3 1/4 year. The estimated mortality rate of children with Munchausen syndrome by proxy is 9 percent. In three of the four cases of children reported here clinical presentations were dominated by symptoms of central nervous disorders. All mothers showed unsure and inconsistent parental behaviour and inefficient coping. None of them received support from their partners, if present. In interaction the children always wanted to dominate their mothers. The high amount of personality disorders observed in the caretakers might be the reason for the often reported failure of psychotherapeutic interventions.

Zusammenfassung Die Diagnose Münchhausen Stellvertreter Syndrom wird bei Kindern gestellt, die Symptome einer organischen Erkrankung zeigen, die durch Manipulationen von Eltern oder anderen Sorgeberechtigten hervorgerufen werden. Vielfach werden bereits im frühen Kindesalter den Kindern Verletzungen beigebracht, Drogen, Gifte oder Medikamente verabreicht, um die klinischen Merkmale schwerer Erkrankungen vorzutäuschen. Obwohl genaue Angaben zur Häufigkeit fehlen, kann man insgesamt von einer seltenen Störung ausgehen. Es gibt zahlreiche Hinweise dafür, daß es sich beim Münchhausen Stellvertreter Syndrom um die seltene, aber sehr schwere Ausprägungsform in einer größeren Gruppe von Störungen gleichartigen klinischen Bildes handelt, für die man den Begriff der vorgetäuschte Störungen geprägt hat. In dieser Gruppe werden auch die Kinder erfaßt, deren Mütter ausschließlich Symptome und eine zugehörige Krankheitsgeschichte erfinden, die aber keine körperlichen Eingriffe (einschließlich Drogen- und Medikamentenverabreichung) vornehmen, um organische Symptome zu simulieren. Unklar ist, ob eine solche Unterscheidung notwendig und hilfreich ist. Bisher fehlen Hinweise auf Unterschiede in der Prognose im Langzeitverlauf zwischen den Untergruppen. Die Symptomatik eines Münchhausen Stellvertreter Syndroms konnte bereits bei Kindern im Alter von 3 Wochen beobachtet werden und wurde noch bei 12jährigen gefunden. In einer größeren Studie wurde ein mittleres Alter von 3 3/4Jahren für den Zeitpunkt der Diagnosestellung ermittelt. Die Sterblichkeitsrate wird auf 9 Prozent geschätzt. Bei den vier Kindern, über deren Symptomatik hier berichtet wird, standen bei drei zentralnervöse Störungen im Vordergrund. Drei Mütter gaben zusätzlich den Verdacht des sexuellen Mißbrauchs ihrer Kinder an. Die motivationalen Aspekte lassen deudiche Unterschiede erkennen. Bei drei Müttern bestand der Wunsch nach Schutz des Kindes vor realem oder vermeintlichem sexuellem Mißbrauch des Kindes. Alle Mütter hatten mindestens eine gescheiterte eheliche Beziehung. Im Erziehungsverhalten wirkten sie unsicher, inkompetent und inkonsistent; von ihren Partnern, sofern vorhanden, erhielten sie keine erzieherische Unterstützung. In der Mutter-Kind Interaktion vermochten die Kinder über die Mütter zu dominieren. Der hohe Anteil an Persönlichkeitsstörungen bei den hier beschriebenen Sorgeberechtigten könnte der Grund für das häufig berichtete Scheitern psychotherapeutischer Interventionen sein.

Résumé On parle de Syndrôme de Munchausen par procuration chez des enfants, qui présentent des troubles organiques résultant de manipulations de leurs responsables éducatifs. Des blessures, l'administration de médicaments, de drogues ou de poison — même chez des enfants très jeunes — ont pour effet de provoquer et simuler un tableau clinique sévère. Il s'agit d'un désordre psychiatrique rare — les chiffres exacts de prévalence sont difficiles à évaluer. Le Syndrome est décrit chez l'enfant à partir de l'âge de trois semaines jusqu'à 12 ans. L'âge moyen est de trois ans et quart. La mortalité chez les enfants porteurs d'un syndrome de Munchausen par procuration est estimé à 9%. Dans trois des quatre cas présentés le tableau clinique est dominé par des symptômes d'ordre neurologique. De manière supplémentaire trois mères rapportent un abus sexuel de leurs enfants. Les mères se caracterisent par leur incompétence et inconséquence éducative; souvent elles sont sans soutien éducatif de leur partenaire. Dans l'interaction mère — enfant les enfants ont un comportement dominant envers leur mère. La non-efficacité des interventions psychothérapeutiques peut être liée a un pourcentage élevé de troubles de la personnalité chez les parents.

Periventricular- intraventricular hemorrhage in the premature infant- A historical perspective

The objective of this chapter is to trace the evolution of intraventricular hemorrhage in the premature infant highlighting the importance of the germinal matrix, a critical role for cerebral blood flow changes in the genesis of hemorrhage, clinical factors that increase the bleeding risk, and potential preventative strategies. In 1976, neuropathological studies demonstrated capillary rupture within the germinal matrix as the precursor of hemorrhage. In 1980, introduction of cranial ultrasound facilitated diagnosis of intraventricular hemorrhage. In 1979, loss of cerebral autoregulation in sick newborn infants was demonstrated. In the 1980’s, studies demonstrated the importance of intravascular factors in provoking hemorrhage. In 1983, the association of cerebral blood flow velocity fluctuations and subsequent hemorrhage was demonstrated. In 1994, antenatal steroids use to accelerate lung development was recommended. This was associated with an unanticipated reduction in hemorrhage. In the mid 1990’s early indomethacin administration was associated with a reduction of severe hemorrhage.
