    Objective: There are limited sources describing the global burden of emerging diseases. We reviewed the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) infections reported by ProMED and assessed the reliability of the data retrieved compared to published reports. We evaluated the effectiveness of ProMED as a source of epidemiological data by focusing on CCHFV infections. Methods: Using the keywords "Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever'' and "Crimean Congo'' in the ProMED search engine, we reviewed all the information about the news and harvested data using a structured form, including year, country, gender, occupation, the number of infected individuals, and the number of fatal cases. Results: We identified 383 entries reported between January 1998 and October 2013. A total 3426 infected cases were reported, with 451 fatal cases, giving an overall case fatality rate (CFR) of 13%. Out of 144 cases for which the gender was reported, 97 (67%) were male. Most of the cases were reported from Turkey, followed by Russia, Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Conclusions: Case reporting systems such as ProMED are useful to gather information and synthesize knowledge on the emerging infections. Although certain areas need to be improved, ProMED provided good information about Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever.

    (Taylor and Francis Inc, 2018) Oray, Merih; Akman, Mehmet; Tugal-Tutkun, Ilknur; N/A; Önal, Sumru; Yasa, Çağla; Uludağ, Günay; Akbay, Aylin Koç; Other; N/A; Doctor; Doctor; N/A; Koc University Hospital; Koc University Hospital; Koc University Hospital; Koc University Hospital; 52359; N/A; N/A; N/A
    Purpose: To screen for psychological disorders in patients with active uveitis. Methods: Patients were screened for depression (BDI-II), state anxiety (STAI-I), VR-QOL (NEI-VFQ-25), and HR-QOL (SF-36). Association of depression and anxiety with sociodemographic and clinical parameters and with VR-QOL and HR-QOL were analyzed. Multivariate linear regression models were constructed for NEI-VFQ-25 and SF-36 subscales. Results: of 99 patients, 37.3% screened positive for depression and 52.5% for anxiety. Depressed patients had lower visual acuity in the better seeing eye (p = 0.013) and more frequently panuveitis (p = 0.018). Anxious patients were younger (p = 0.009), had earlier onset of uveitis (p = 0.015), and had more frequently panuveitis (p = 0.016). Bivariate comparisons showed significant associations between psychological disorders and VR-QOL and HR-QOL. Significant bivariate associations were mostly lost in multivariate analyses for anxiety, but were preserved for depression. Conclusions: A positive screening test for depression and anxiety is common in patients with uveitis. Low vision and panuveitis are associated with depression. Depression is associated with impairment of VR-QOL and HR-QOL.
