637 Background: In mid-2013, the requirement for mCRC patients treated with panitumumab changed from wild-type KRAS to wild-type RAS ( KRAS and NRAS). The objective of this study was to describe patterns of KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF testing among mCRC patients in the EU5 (United Kingdom (U.K.), Germany, France, Italy and Spain). Methods: This descriptive study utilized Oncology Analyzer data (IMS Health Oncology, Fairfield, CT, USA), which provides real-world quarterly cross-sectional, epidemiologic and clinical data for mCRC patients. Trends in biomarker testing during the study period were evaluated by calculating the frequencies and proportions of patients who were /were not tested for combinations of KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF within each of the five countries. KRAS and BRAF data were available in all countries from quarter three (Q3) 2012 to quarter two (Q2) 2015. NRAS was available in all countries from quarter 1 (Q1) 2014 to Q2 2015. Frequencies and proportions were also calculated to summarize patient demographic and clinical characteristics between groups with different testing choices. Results: A total of 32,961 patients with mCRC were included in the analyses. Prior to 2013, the majority of patients in each country were tested for only KRAS. The proportion of patients tested for both KRAS and NRAS increased substantially during the period of data availability for NRAS (Q1 2014 to Q2 2015), including <1% to 19.1% in the U.K., 8.8% to 31.9% in France, 13.1% to 43.2% in Germany, 5.9% to 24.6% in Italy, and 8.7% to 31.4% in Spain. The proportion of patients who were tested for all three biomarkers also increased during the period of data availability for all three biomarkers (Q1 2014 to Q2 2015), including 2.3% to 16.4% in the U.K., 4.8% to 26.6% in France, <1% to 2.4% in Germany, 4.2% to 22.3% in Italy, and 1.5% to 9.3% in Spain. There were few differences in patient demographic or clinical characteristics between those with different testing groups. Conclusions: This analysis provides a description of biomarker testing using read-world data and suggests an overall increase in testing among mCRC patients in the EU5. Although there was a trend towards increased testing, many mCRC patients are still not tested for these important biomarkers.

Abstract Background The clinical characteristics of patients with chronic cough are reported only in single-center survey in China, being significantly different from that in western countries. Here, we performed a multicenter study to describe the clinical characteristics of chronic cough patients. Methods A cross-sectional observational survey was conducted in thirteen tertiary hospitals of Guangdong, South China. Relevant data were recorded using a standardized questionnaire and analyzed, including demographics, educational attainment, cough features, and concomitant symptoms. Results Of 933 patients in this study, the median age was 40.0 (IQR 31.0–52.0) years with a peaked age of 30–39 years. The proportion of females (487, 52.2 %) was comparable to that of males (446, 47.8 %). Up to 81.9 % of the patients were non-smokers. More than two-thirds of the subjects with chronic cough had a low educational level. The median cough duration was 6.0 (IQR 3.0–24.0) months, and 73.0 % of chronic cough patients presented with dry cough. Laryngeal paresthesia was the most common concomitant symptom (704, 75.5 %), followed by rhinitis/sinusitis-related (350, 37.5 %) and respiratory symptoms (322, 34.5 %). Rhinitis/sinusitis-related symptoms more frequently occurred in patients with productive cough than in those with dry cough (49.0 % vs. 33.0 %, P < 0.001). Moreover, female patients displayed an older age and a higher prevalence of nocturnal cough compared to male patients (both P < 0.05). Conclusions Our results show an equal gender, young profile and laryngeal paresthesia in patients with chronic cough, and different clinical features between females and males.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) quickly became a major epidemic threat in the whole China. We analysed SARS-Cov-2 infected cases from Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, and noted divergent characteristics of these Tibetans infected cases compared to Han Chinese, characterizing by a considerable proportion of asymptomatic carriers (21.7%), and few symptomatic patients with initial symptom of fever (7.7%). Here, we did a descriptive study on clinical characteristics of 18 asymptomatic individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The median age of these asymptomatic carriers was 31 years and one third of them were students, aged under 20 years. Notably, some of asymptomatic carriers had recognizable changes in radiological and laboratory indexes. Our finding indicates a potentially big number of SARS-CoV-2 asymptomatic carriers in prevalent area, highlighting a necessity of screening individuals with close contact of infected patients, for a better control on the spread of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Objective. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of aquagenic pruritus (AP) in medical students in Lomé (Togo). Methods. This was a prospective and descriptive study conducted among medical students in Lomé from June 1st to August 30th, 2019. The data collection questionnaire was anonymous composed of sociodemographic variables, bathing habits, and history of allergy responding to the concept of aquagenic pruritus and its characteristics. Results. In our study, 129/591 medical students had AP, giving a prevalence of AP to 21.8%. The average age of students with AP was 23.9 years, and the M/F sex ratio was 1.5. AP was not present after each bath in 100% of the medical students who suffered from it and lasted an average of 9.09 minutes. It was characteristically pruritic (60.5%) or tingling (38.0%) and localized (45.0%) or generalized (55.0%) in respondents with history of AP. There was a significant association between the presence of AP and a personal history of allergic rhinitis (p<0.01) and the presence of AP and a family AP (p<0.01). Twenty-six (20.2%) respondents with AP feared taking a bath. Bathing with warm or lukewarm water (29.5%) or applying menthol ointment (27.1%) were the main precautions taken to reduce AP. Conclusion. Aquagenic pruritus is a common condition in medical students in Togo. It occurs mainly in males and can be familial.
