A survey of diaper-wearing children in community-day-care centers was conducted by the San Diego Department of Health Services during the period February-April 1986 to determine the presence of enteric pathogens in asymptomatic children. Written consent to collect stool samples from diapers was obtained from parents of children at four preschools. No reportable enteric diseases or outbreaks had occurred at the schools in the preceding year. For each child, the preschool teachers maintained a record of symptoms (eg, diarrhea, fever) during the week of stool collection. Stool specimens were collected from 63 diapered children. The samples were examined for parasites and cultured for bacteria and viruses. Giardia lamblia was identified in 18% to 32% of stool samples collected from children at three of the four centers. Prevalence of Giardia varied with the age of the child (0% age <12 months to 33% age <23 months). Microscopic examinations for Cryptosporidium and pathogenic amoeba were negative. Stool cultures were negative for Salmonella, Shigella, and Campylobacter. The prevalence of adenoviruses identified by viral cultures ranged from 32% to 80% at four sites. Echovirus was isolated from 36% of samples at one center. All stools were negative for rotavirus. Giardia was identified in the stools of 22% of children in day care in the absence of diarrhea or of concurrent illness. These findings indicate that asymptomatic infection with Giardia occurs commonly among children attending day-care centers. The lack of any documented outbreak or symptoms of enteric disease among attendees suggests that these asymptomatic children with Giardia need not be excluded from day care.

Introduction: Enteric viruses, including noroviruses and adenovirus are pathogens associated with outbreaks and sporadic cases of gastroenteritis in worldwide. This study aimed investigate cases of gastroenteritis caused by noroviruses and adenoviruses in children attending Public Daycare Centers in Brazil. Material and Methods: In this study, 135 fecal samples were examined using RT-PCR assays, sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. Results: The prevalence for norovirus and adenovirus was 13.3% (18/135) and 58.5% (79/135), respectively. Noroviruses were more frequent in symptomatic individuals (22.7%), whereas adenoviruses were more observed in asymptomatic children (61.8%). Three norovirus genotypes were detected (GII.P4, GII.P7, GII.P12) and adenovirus strains were classified into five species (A-F). The data revealed the dynamics of genotypic distribution of noroviruses and adenoviruses among children attending day care centers. The data indicated that symptomatic and asymptomatic children were infected with several strains of NoV e AdV. The additional evolutionary analyses need to be further investigated.

Objective To explore as a pilot study the effects of group reminiscence therapy upon depression of people living with dementia within dementia-specific day care centers. Method A unique pre-test-post-test, quasi-experimental design counterbalanced with a qualitative grounded theory video analysis of facial expression and behavior was used to measure the effects of group reminiscence therapy. The study recruited 21 participants in total from two dementia-specific day care centers. Results The findings highlighted improvements in depression, communication, and positive mood after group reminiscence intervention. The results also showed that participants scored higher on average during the Chinese New Year and marriage reminiscence activities compared to the other activities, revealing the subject matters extraordinarily significance. Conclusion This study provides evidence supporting the proposition that undertaking a cultural focus reminiscence therapy may produce significant psychosocial improvements for a person with dementia.
