Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea and aspiration pneumonitis following initiation of continuous positive airway pressure treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea. See

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is very often the treatment of choice for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). The association between intracranial hypertension and spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhoea is being increasingly recognized among patients with OSA. However, spontaneous CSF rhinorrhoea following initiation of CPAP therapy for OSA is very rarely documented in the literature. In this report, we describe a 53-year-old woman with severe OSA who, while being ev...

Arbovirus surveillance using FTATM cards in modified CO2 -baited encephalitis virus surveillance traps in the Northern Territory, Australia. See

In 2016, modified CO2 -baited encephalitis virus surveillance (EVS) traps were evaluated for flavivirus surveillance in the Northern Territory, Australia. The traps were fitted with honey-soaked nucleic acid preservation cards (FTATM ) for mosquitoes to expectorate virus while feeding on the cards. Cards were tested for the presence of selected arboviruses, with two cards testing positive for Kunjin virus and Alfuy, while sentinel chickens tested in parallel also showed Kunjin virus activity ...
