Abstract:

Abstract Breast cancer (BCa) is the most common cancer among Jamaican women, with 60-70% presenting at advanced stages (III or IV). Incidence rates are slightly lower (43.1 per 100, 000) than global rates (47.8 per 100, 000) and mortality rates are notably higher (18.1 per 100, 000 versus 13.6 per 100, 000). This study investigated germline testing in Jamaican women with BCa to examine clinicopathologic associations and to compare the utility of two genetic testing panels within this population. A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted on 178 Jamaican women with pathologically conf

Abstract:

Abstract Background Klebsiella pneumoniae is a frequent cause of neonatal sepsis and carries a high mortality rate in lower and middle-income countries (LMICs). From March-November 2015, two Jamaican hospitals experienced K. pneumoniae outbreaks in their Special Care Nurseries (SCNs). New admissions to both SCNs were temporarily halted while additional infection control strategies were implemented. 31 babies were infected, of which 15 died.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a sensory-motor neurological disorder which is associated with sleep disturbance and emotional distress. Opioid medications are effective treatments for RLS, and a high percentage of patients undergoing opioid withdrawal exhibit symptoms of RLS. Despite the known connection between RLS and opioids, there has been no assessment of RLS in patients actively treated with buprenorphine and naloxone for opioid use disorder (OUD). Methods We conducted a study to determine the prevalence of RLS among patients with OUD at an outpatient buprenorphine

It was from her mother that Mary learned the art of patient care, and she also assisted at the local British army hospital.

Abstract:

The overall psychiatric hospital admission rates in Jamaica were 136 per 100 000 in 1971 and 69 per 100 000 in 1988. The admission rate for schizophrenia was 69 per 100 000 in 1971 and 35 per 100 000 in 1988. The 49% reduction in admission rates over these 17 years is attributed to the introduction of an island-wide community mental health service with psychiatric admission to general parish hospitals in 1972. This admission rate for schizophrenia is five to six times lower than the rate reported for Afro-Caribbeans in the UK by a number of studies, and is more in keeping with the admission ra

Repeat caesarean sections accounted for 1·3% of the hospital births during that period. Of the medical complications studied, prolonged labour and/or cephalopelvic disproportion carried the highest risks of primary caesarean section, followed by breech presentation, maternal diabetes, a high birth-weight baby, maternal h

Abstract BACKGROUND Hypertension (HTN) is responsible for a significant disease burden in Jamaica. We are reporting the results of the 2017 blood pressure (BP) screening campaign May Measurement Month in Jamaica that aimed to increase the awareness of HTN. METHODS Adults, 18 years old and older, from different parishes of Jamaica were invited to participate during May to June 2017. Demographic data were collected. BP, weight, and height were measured and recorded. RESULTS Five hundred sixty-six participants (n = 566) were enrolled, 91.6% (519) from urban areas, and 72.6% (410) were females. Th

Abstract:

To our knowledge, this is the first report that Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli, previously named Clavibacter xyli subsp. xyli (2), has been detected and identified in sugarcane in Jamaica. Although ratoon stunting (also known as ratoon stunting disease or RSD) has been reported in Jamaica since 1961, presence of the pathogen had never been confirmed in symptomatic tissues. A major industry-wide survey conducted in 1987 using the fluorescent antibody staining technique failed to detect positives in any of the 61 fields sampled in Jamaica. A new survey was conducted in 2004 on eight estates and the

Abstract:

Genetic diversity among geminiviruses associated with three common weeds in Jamaica was studied using digoxigenin-labeled geminiviral DNA probes, polymerase chain reaction with degenerate primers for DNA-A and DNA-B, nucleic acid sequencing, and derived amino acid sequences. Geminiviruses with bipartite genomes were found in Sida spp., Macroptilium lathyroides, and Wissadula amplissima. The geminiviruses detected in Sida spp. and M. lathyroides were nearly identical and were both designated Sida golden mosaic geminivirus (SidGMV-JA), whereas the geminivirus in W. amplissima was sufficiently di

<i>Pambolus albospina</i> <b>sp. n.</b> and <i>Pambolus rastafari</i> <b>sp. n.</b> are described from Jamaica. <i>Pambolus rastafari</i> can be distinguished from all other Neotropical species of the genus by its antennal color pattern and the smooth sculpture of the head and mesoscutum. <i>Pambolus albospina </i>is morphologically close to <i>P. hemitaeniatus </i>van Achterberg, from which it can be distinguished by the number of white antennal segments and the sculpture on the first metasomal tergite. These two new species constitute the first records of the genus for the Caribbean Islands.

Elpidium ostracods are known by their very particular niche (water accumulated in tank-bromeliads), their relatively low dispersal ability and their dependency on amphibians for dispersal and colonization of new bromeliads. All these characteristics make the genus an interesting group for evolutionary, ecological and even taxonomic studies. However, the diversity of the group remains poorly studied. Here, we describe three new species of Elpidium, Elpidium littlei n. sp., Elpidium heberti n. sp. and Elpidium wolfi n. sp., and re-describe Elpidium laesslei, all from Jamaica. These species are c
