The highest numberswere registered between 2006 and 2008, which coincides with official Russian MOH statistics. Beginning in 2009, the incidence rate decreased, averaging 70 registered cases. In 2015 for the first time since 2009, the number of cases rose significantly and reached up to 139. ProMED-RUS reported about CCHF in Kazakhstan since 2008, with the highest number of cases (26) in 2009 in the southern regions -Jambyl and Kizilorda. Until 2015, 74 total cases and 16 fatal cases were registered with a CFR of 21.6% . In Tajikistan, ProMED-RUS reported about 5 cases in 2009 including 3 fatalities, CFR -60%. ProMED-RUS published Georgia cases in 2012-2015: 2012 (1 case), 2013 (13 cases), 2014 (20 cases with 4 fatalities, CFR 20%) and this year 2 cases. In 2015 ProMED-RUS reported 13 CCHF cases in Uzbekistan within 2013-2015, including 10 fatal cases.CCHF starts in April, peaks between May and June, and decreases in August mostly due to tick bites. However, Kazakhstan (2009), Tajikistan (2009), and Russia (2011) registered 3 nosocomial clusters among healthcare workers due to inadequate infection control with 5, 7, and 9 cases respectively.Conclusion: ProMED-RUS reports of outbreaks and comments from experts provide useful information for emerging infection case reporting, analysis, and comparison in the territory of FSU.
The average level of systolic and diastolic arterial pressure in rural children and teenagers of the Gomel area is a little bit lower than those which were measured in children of the Byelorussian Polesye in pre-Chernobyl accident period and also average values of these parameters in rural schoolchildren living in relatively favorable ecological environment after the accident.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
