Abstract
BACKGROUND There has been remarkable progress in hemophilia A (HA) treatment in Korea. Viral inactivation products were developed in 1989, use of recombinant factor VIII (FVIII) concentrates started in 2002, and prophylaxis expanded thereafter. This study was conducted to identify the changes in complications in HA before and after 1989 or 2002. METHODS The study was performed using the 2007-2019 Healthcare Big Data Hub of the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service. RESULTS Among 2,557 patients, 1,084 had ≥ 1 complication; 829 had joint problems, 328 had viral infections, 146 had neurologic sequelae, and 87 underwent 113 surgeries or procedures due to complications. Patients born after 1989 had a significantly lower risk of viral infections than those born before 1989; 27.1% vs. 1.4% (P < 0.001, odds ratio [OR], 0.037). Patients born after 2002 had a significantly lower risk of joint problems than those born before 2002; 36.8% vs. 24.7% (P < 0.001, OR, 0.538). Patients born after 2002 had a higher incidence of neurologic sequelae than those born before 2002; 3.7% vs. 11.1% (P < 0.001, OR, 3.210). Medical expenses for complication-associated surgeries or procedures were ₩2,957,557,005. CONCLUSION Viral infections have significantly decreased in Korean patients with HA. The degree of reduction of joint problems was lower than we expected, because it took > 10 years to expand prophylaxis widely. Neurologic sequelae have not decreased; thus, additional efforts to decrease intracranial hemorrhage are needed. We suggest personalized dosing of FVIII and more meticulous care during childbirth to further reduce the complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ability to control the spread of COVID-19 continues to be hampered by a lack of rapid, scalable, and easily deployable diagnostic solutions. METHODS : We developed a diagnostic method based on CRISPR that can deliver sensitive, specific, and high-throughput detection of Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). The assay utilizes SHERLOCK (Specific High-sensitivity Enzymatic Reporter unLOCKing) for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA and may be performed directly on a swab or saliva sample without nucleic acid extraction. The assay uses a 384-well format and provides results in less than one hour. RESULTS Assay performance was evaluated with 105 (55 negative, 50 positive) remnant SARS-CoV-2 specimens previously identified as positive using Food and Drug Administration emergency use authorized assays and re-tested with a modified version of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) RT-qPCR assay. When combined with magnetic bead-based extraction, the high throughput SHERLOCK SARS-CoV-2 assay was 100% concordant (n = 60) with the CDC RT-qPCR. When used with direct sample addition the high throughput assay was also 100% concordant with the CDC RT-qPCR direct method (n = 45). With direct saliva sample addition, the negative and positive percent agreements were 100% (15/15, 95% CI : 81.8-100%) and 88% (15/17, 95% CI : 63.6-98.5%), respectively, compared with results from a collaborating clinical laboratory. CONCLUSIONS This high throughput assay identifies SARS-CoV-2 from patient samples with or without nucleic acid extraction with high concordance to RT-qPCR methods. This test enables high complexity laboratories to rapidly increase their testing capacities with simple equipment.

Abstract
Neanderthal genes possibly gave modern human protection against viruses. However, a recent study revealed that that a long sequence of DNA that is inherited from our Neanderthal ancestors can be linked to severe COVID-19 infection and hospitalization. Substantial evidence now indicates that our genetic background may be involved in the transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2 and the rapid progress of COVID-19 in some infected individuals. Although both morbidity and mortality of COVID-19 strongly depends on key factors such as age and co-existing health conditions, potential classes of human genomic variants possibly affect the likelihood of SARS-CoV-2 infection and its progress. Despite Iran and Mongolia seem to share the same SARS-CoV-2 mutation cluster, the COVID-19 mortality rates in these two countries are drastically different. While the population in Iran is 25.8 times higher than that of Mongolia, the number of confirmed cases is 1170 times higher. Moreover, the death rate shows a drastic difference. Since Neanderthals interbred with modern humans in Middle East between 47,000 and 65,000 years ago before going extinct 40,000 years ago, some Iranians have much more Neanderthal DNA than other people. Although neither genetic background nor environmental factors alone can determine our risk of developing severe COVID-19, our genes clearly affect both the development and progression of infectious diseases including COVID-19. Given these considerations, we believe that these great differences, at least to some extent, can be due to the proportion of Neanderthal genes among the people of these two countries

Abstract
Objective Foot and mouth disease (FMD) and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) are major diseases that interrupt porcine production. Because they are viral diseases, vaccinations are of only limited effectiveness in preventing outbreaks. To establish an alternative multi-resistant strategy against FMD virus (FMDV) and PRRS virus (PRRSV), the present study introduced two genetic modification techniques to porcine cells. Methods First, cluster of differentiation 163 (CD163), the PRRSV viral receptor, was edited with the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-CRISPR-associated protein 9 technique. The CD163 gene sequences of edited cells and control cells differed. Second, short hairpin RNA (shRNAs) were integrated into the cells. The shRNAs, targeting the 3D gene of FMDV and the open reading frame 7 (ORF7) gene of PRRSV, were transferred into fibroblasts. We also developed an in vitro shRNA verification method with a target gene expression vector. Results shRNA activity was confirmed in vitro with vectors that expressed the 3D and ORF7 genes in the cells. Cells containing shRNAs showed lower transcript levels than cells with only the expression vectors. The shRNAs were integrated into CD163-edited cells to combine the two techniques, and the viral genes were suppressed in these cells. Conclusion We established a multi-resistant strategy against viral diseases and an in vitro shRNA verification method.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to describe the pattern of viral infections in infants and children admitted to the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital (SQUH) in Muscat, Oman. METHODS A retrospective review of patient records was carried out on all patients admitted to the PICU between January 2011 and December 2012. In order to detect viruses, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology was used to detect viruses in nasopharyngeal aspirates, tracheal aspirates, plasma, stool and urine samples. All infants and children below 13 years old, who were admitted to the PICU at SQUH during the study period and with confirmed viral infections, were included in the study. RESULTS A total of 373 infants and children were admitted to the PICU during the study period. Viruses were detected in 34 patients. The most frequently detected viruses were cytomegalovirus (CMV) in 29.4%; this virus was noted predominantly in immuncompromised patients (80%, P = 0.023) and was associated with increased mortality (50%, P = 0.031) and prolonged PICU stay (70%, P = 0.045). Fatalities before discharge were recorded in 23.5% of the patients. The most frequent risk factors for viral infections were an age of <12 months old (47.1%), assisted ventilation/intubation (52.9%) and a prolonged PICU stay (55.9%). CONCLUSION The results of this study found that CMV was the most common viral infection among infants and children admitted to the PICU in SQUH. CMV was also the leading cause of mortality.

Abstract
World population will increase by 1000 million, or by 20%, within 10 years. Ninety-five per cent of this increase will occur in the South, in areas that are already economically, environmentally and politically fragile. Morbidity and mortality associated with reproduction will be greater in the current decade than in any period in human history. Annually, 40-60 million pregnancies will be terminated and 5-10 million children will die within one year of birth. AIDS-related infections, e.g. tuberculosis, will undermine health care in Africa (and elsewhere) and in places AIDS-related deaths will decimate the work-force. The growth in population and associated morbidity will inhibit global economic development and spawn new problems. The key issues are migration, the spread of disease, the supply of water and the degradation of land, and fiscal policies with respect to family planning, pharmaceuticals and Third-World debt. Full education, particularly of women, and more effective family planning in the South have the power to unlock the problem. Failure will see the developed countries, with their 800 million population, swamped by the health, economic and environmental problems of the South, with its projected population of 5400 million people for the year 2000.

Abstract
The authors present a regression approach to the backcalculation of flexible linear models of the HIV infection curve. They note that "because expected AIDS incidence can be expressed as a linear function of unknown parameters, regression methods may be used to obtain parameter and covariance estimates for a variety of interesting quantities, such as the expected number of people infected in previous time intervals and the projected AIDS incidence in future time intervals. We exploit these ideas to show that estimates based on maximum likelihood are, for practical purposes, equivalent to approximate estimates based on quasi-likelihood and on Poisson regression. These algorithms are readily implemented on a personal computer." These concepts are illustrated by projecting AIDS incidence in the United States up to 1993.

Abstract
UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) and the World Health Organization (WHO) are jointly undertaking six pilot projects in Asia and the Pacific, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean to develop innovative approaches for AIDS education in schools, with the long-term objective of integrating successful educational strategies into school curricula. The projects are being carried out through workshops for the production of educative materials and teacher training workshops. The overall goal is to help young people of school age behave responsibly, giving rightful importance to self-esteem and mutual respect. In line with the program's objective of focusing on technical leadership and support to help countries plan and implement effective AIDS control, plans are underway to organize regional training courses for decision makers on AIDS education in school.
