High diagnostic yield of tuberculosis from screening urine samples from HIV-infected patients with advanced immunodeficiency using the Xpert MTB/RIF assay.
No full text: ABSTRACT:: We determined the diagnostic yield of the Xpert MTB/RIF assay for tuberculosis (TB) when testing small volumes of urine from ambulatory HIV-infected patients prior to starting antiretroviral therapy (ART) in South Africa. Compared to a gold standard of sputum culture, the sensitivity of urine Xpert among those with CD4 cell counts of <50, 50-100 and >100 cells/?L were 44.4%, 25.0% and 2.7% (P=0.001), respectively. Urine Xpert testing provides a means of rapid TB diagnosis in patients with advanced immunodeficiency and poor prognosis. These data are indicative of high rates of TB dissemination and renal involvement in this clinical population

No full textSevere spinal deformity and multiple vertebral collapses in juvenile Cushing Syndrome: a case report
No full textCushing's Syndrome (CS) is rare in adolescence but the pathological effects of excessive circulating glucocorticoids concentration on bone during the developmental age still represent a challenge for orthopedists. Only few reports describe the gravity of early developed damages of spine in young affected by CS. A 18-years-old woman suffering from Cushing's Disease presented after many years treatment of the primary disease referring severe back pain and worsening back deformity. Radiological investigations showed vertebral collapses a devastating thoraco-lumbar scoliosis of 80° Cobb. Lumbar dual X-ray absorptiometry Z-score values were very low and consistent with severe osteoporosis. The patient was treated with bracing, antiresorptive therapy, calcium and vitamin D supplementation, and followed-up with imaging investigations to screen for further fractures. The bone mineral density will be monitored until its normalization will allow to plane surgical treatment in case of progression of spinal deformity and collapses. Early diagnosis and treatment of hypercortisolism, periodical clinical and radiographic follow-up, and treatment for the bone damage are mandatory to prevent the devastating sequelae of secondary osteoporosis

Jumping sustainability meme; SD transfer from society to universities
No full textSince the 1972 Stockholm Conference, many Sustainable Development declarations, charters, and partnerships have been developed, both in the overall societal context and within higher education frameworks. This paper addresses two issues: (1) a comparison of the development of sustainable development initiatives in society and in universities and (2) an analysis of how those initiatives are influencing educational institutions? SD activities. The analysis indicates that SD needs to be incorporated in a transdisciplinary manner throughout: curricula, research, operations, outreach and engagement with stakeholders, collaboration with other universities, assessment and reporting, institutional framework, on-campus life experiences, and educate the educators programmes. These key elements must be integrated systemically in the HEIs in order to provide learning and career value to those participating in the SD transition. One of the key observations is that the concept of \u84meme? diffusion/transfer from the diverse declarations, charters and partnerships is slow and inefficient. The question is why is it so slow and ineffective and what can be done to speed it up throughout society? The authors propose the following ways to speed up the transfer, and implementation of the SD in higher education \u84meme?: universities and their leaders should become more proactive in engaging with SD, SD should be made the \u84Golden Thread? throughout the university system, and recognise those engaged with SD and foster multiplier effect
