Delays in Coccidioidomycosis Diagnosis and Associated Healthcare Utilization, Tucson, Arizona, USA.

Project description:Tucson, Arizona, USA, is a highly coccidioidomycosis-endemic area. We conducted a retrospective review of 815 patients in Tucson over 2.7 years. Of 276 patients with coccidioidomycosis, 246 had a delay in diagnosis; median delay was 23 days. Diagnosis delay was associated with coccidioidomycosis-related costs totaling $589,053 and included extensive antibacterial drug use.

Gene expression profiles of zebrafish larvae exposed to secondary effluent of a wastewater treatment plant in Tucson, Arizona, USA

Project description:To investigate gene expression changes in fish by the secondary effluent (directly released to environment) of a waterwater treatment plant in Tucson, Arizona, zebrafish larvae with 5-day exposure to the original (1x) or half (0.5x) concentration of the effluent were analyzed using Agilent G2519F-026437 Zebrafish Oligo Microarray.

Selected abstracts submitted to the Fourth International Symposium on Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer

Project description:Background: Nearly 15% of DNA tests for BRCA1/2 results in the identification of an unclassified variant (UV). In DNA diagnostic laboratories in The Netherlands, a 4-group classification system (class I to IV) is in use (Bell et al.). Aim of this study was to investigate whether the UVs in different classes showed a significant difference in their in silico characteristics and would justify current differences in protocols for counselling with respect to communication to the counselees. Methods: Missense UVs in BRCA1/2 identified between 2002 and 2010 (n = 88) were analyzed. In silico analysis of UVs was performed using SIFT– analysis Grantham score and AGVGD for the predicted severity of amino acid substitutions. Each UV was classified to one of the four classes. Results: More than half of the UVs (n = 50) were predicted to be tolerated using SIFT-analysis. Accordingly, all these variants are scored as neutral (C0) by AGVGD. Of the remaining 38 UVs not tolerated using SIFT-analysis, 19 were scored as C0 (neutral), 8 were scored C15–C25 (intermediate) and 11 were scored C35 or higher (likely to be pathogenic). Although class III UVs more frequently show in silico parameter outcomes that are suspicious for a pathogenic effect, the observed differences are not absolute. Seven UVs classified in class II had similar in silico profiles with 7 UVs in class III. Conclusion: This study showed that, in general, in silico analysis is consistently applied and proved to be able to discriminate between the different classes of UVs. However, additional analyses will be required to classify the UVs with more accuracy. In order to reduce psychological distress in families in which a UV is identified, we propose that communication of a UV should not primarily depend on its class, but also on the possibility to perform additional research in the family.

Molecular detection of airborne Coccidioides in Tucson, Arizona.

Project description:Environmental surveillance of the soil-dwelling fungus Coccidioides is essential for the prevention of Valley fever, a disease primarily caused by inhalation of the arthroconidia. Methods for collecting and detecting Coccidioides in soil samples are currently in use by several laboratories; however, a method utilizing current air sampling technologies has not been formally demonstrated for the capture of airborne arthroconidia. In this study, we collected air/dust samples at two sites (Site A and Site B) in the endemic region of Tucson, Arizona, and tested a variety of air samplers and membrane matrices. We then employed a single-tube nested qPCR assay for molecular detection. At both sites, numerous soil samples (n = 10 at Site A and n = 24 at Site B) were collected and Coccidioides was detected in two samples (20%) at Site A and in eight samples (33%) at Site B. Of the 25 air/dust samples collected at both sites using five different air sampling methods, we detected Coccidioides in three samples from site B. All three samples were collected using a high-volume sampler with glass-fiber filters. In this report, we describe these methods and propose the use of these air sampling and molecular detection strategies for environmental surveillance of Coccidioides.
