	Vol.3 No. 4: Chronic Sequelae of Foodborne Disease
		Alternatively, the chronic sequelae may be unrelated to the acute illness and may occur even if the immune system successfully eliminates the primary infection; therefore, activation of the immune system may initiate the chronic condition as a result of an autoimmune response (2-4).
		Severe cases may be prolonged and chronic; sequelae include confusion with disorientation, paucity of speech, lack of response to deep pain due to blocking of receptors in the spinal cord, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, seizures, abnormal ocular movements, grimacing posture, myoclonus, loss of reflexes, and coma.
		Chronic sequelae of hepatitis A virus infections are rare and poorly defined; however, several recent studies suggest that hepatitis A virus infection triggers the onset of (idiopathic) autoimmune chronic active hepatitis within a genetically predisposed subgroup.

		Postpolio sequelae refer to the documented residuals of acute polio infection, as well as other disorders that have an etiological link to either the acute polio infection or to the chronic deficits that resulted from the infection.
		Once postpolio sequelae has been documented as a medically determinable impairment, the impact of any of the symptoms of postpolio sequelae, including fatigue, weakness, pain, intolerance to cold, etc., must be considered both in determining the severity of the impairment and in assessing the individual's RFC.
		A disability onset date in cases involving postpolio sequelae is set based on the individual's allegations, his or her work history, and the medical and other evidence concerning impairment severity.

	Sequelae - Compartmental Syndromes.
		Sequelae of compartmental syndromes may include persistent hypesthesia and dysesthesia, persistent motor weakness, infection, myoglobinuric renal failure, contractures, amputation, and death.
		These sequelae are the direct result of nerve and muscle injury and death, and thus their frequency and severity are minimized by prompt diagnosis and treatment of compartmental syndromes.
		The potential sequelae of a compartmental syndrome include persistent hypesthesia and dysesthesia, persistent motor weakness, infections of bone and soft tissue, renal failure, contractures, amputation, and death.

		Although research into the cause of Post-Polio Sequelae is in its infancy, a number of important facts have come to light regarding treatment for the symptoms of unknown etiology.
		It is unique to Post-Polio Sequelae that neither the persons who had polio nor their physicians knew there was any potential for additional symptoms to occur or knew their cause when they appeared.
		Television and print coverage of the "story" of Post-Polio Sequelae has relentlessly referred to persons who had polio as "polio victims" or as "suffering from polio." Neither of these phrases is acceptable because each gives the impression that the lives of persons who had polio are primarily the result of a polio virus.

	BURNS SEQUELAE AND THEIR PLACE IN THE ACTIVITY OF OUR CLINIC
		Our aim is to draw attention to the importance of preventing sequelae in the treatment of burns and of selecting the appropriate surgical procedure in cases where sequelae have already occurred.
		Regarding the 263 patients operated on for burns sequelae, 120 (45.6%) were male and 143 (54.4%) female; 157 (59.8%) came from urban zones and 106 (20.2%) from rural zones of our country.
		The distribution of sequelae according to age is shown in Table I. Regarding the different types of sequelac, we treated 98 contractures (37.3% of the operations), 73 scars (27.7%), 19 keloids (7.3%), 79 alopecias (11.0%), 13 ectropions (4.9%) and 31 trophic ulcers (11^).

	From PHI: Social Security's DI 24580.010 Evaluation of Postpolio Sequelae (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		This Ruling explains that postpolio sequelae, when accompanied by appropriate symptoms, signs, and laboratory findings, is a medically determinable impairment that can be the basis for a finding of "disability." It also provides guidance for the evaluation of claims involving postpolio sequelae.
		When making a determination of disability in cases of postpolio sequelae, the adjudicator or decisionmaker must be sure that all of the individual's functional limitations have been considered.
		Generally, the new problems associated with postpolio sequelae are gradual and non-traumatic, but acute injuries or events, such as herniated discs, or broken bones from falls, may be markers for establishing a disability onset date.

	THE USE OF TISSUE EXPANSION IN BURNS SEQUELAE
		Controlled tissue expansion is a very worthwhile tool for the plastic surgeon who approaches the reconstruction of burns sequelae by covering the defects with adjacent donor tissues of similar colour, innervation, hair-bearing qualities and texture, leaving intact the adjacent skin structures.
		This technique has the unique characteristic of providing us with extra tissue without leaving an unsightly donor site.The sequelae of most burn wounds involve a certain degree of contracture, even if wound healing is by epithclialization of a graft.
		When we are faced with the reconstruction of postburn sequelae, we usually find a shortage of neighbouring donor tissues with similar tissue properties.

	Psychological Impact of Lightning Injury
		The studies cited in Table 1 describe a variety of emotional problems, ranging from anxiety to marital break-down to major depression, and illustrate several main features of late psychologic sequelae: they are variable in severity and duration, they are difficult to predict from injury parameters, and their etiology is not readily inferred.
		The role of secondary gain is no more or less prominent in the sequelae of EI and LI than in other instances of injury, and in a percentage of cases is likely serving to maintain chronicity, although it falls short of an adequate explanation for the host of symptomatology presented in the literature.
		Data reviewed here suggest that a fourth group exists, a group of LI and EI survivors who maintain significant symptomatology beyond 3 years postinjury and per- haps for a lifetime.(24) This group may also be characterized by a greater degree of psychologic overlay in their presentation and level of dysfunction.

	Late sequelae after high midface trauma
		The type, incidence and classification of the persistent post-traumatic/post-operative sequelae after treatment of high midface trauma, is the subject of this study.
		The aim is a better understanding of the potential late sequelae which may lead to a more precise therapeutic plan and, consequently, an improvement in surgical outcome.
		Anosmia which is an occasional sequela to high midface fractures can result from a shearing action of the olfactory nerve against the cribriform plate or direct laceration/ disruption of the fila olfactoria.

	Adult Penile Circumcision: Erotosexual and Cosmetic Sequelae
		Male circumcision, though a surgical procedure possessed of its own morbidity and mortality statistics, is as widely taken for granted as a haircut.
		It should be done with specific attention to cosmetic and erotosexual outcome, neither of which were so much as mentioned to the five men of this study, so that they had not chance to give their truly informed consent to the risk of negative cosmetic and erotosexual results and the possibility of mutilation.
		Erotosexually and cosmetically, the operation is, for the most part, contraindicated, and it should always be evaluated in terms of possible pathological sequelae.

	Psychological Issues - Abortion Psychological Sequelae: the debate and the research
		Literature which deals with abortion psychological sequelae which has been written over the past few years, is likely to make reference to PAS as a theory of the way women respond psychologically to abortion.
		Key proponents of this theory of abortion psychological sequelae are the American anti-abortionists, Vincent Rue and Anne Speckhard.
		The overall result is that the number of women exhibiting severe, negative psychological sequelae is small, and that where a negative response is indicated, it results from the particular circumstances of the woman, rather than the abortion itself.

	NEJM -- The long-term pulmonary sequelae of prematurity: the role of familial airway hyperreactivity and the ...
		We assessed the role of each by testing pulmonary function and airway reactivity in 11 prematurely born children who survived the respiratory distress syndrome and in 11 prematurely born children who had no neonatal respiratory disease, each of whom was paired with a sibling born at term.
		These data suggest that long-term pulmonary sequelae of the respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn are related to the disease, its treatment, or both, and to airway hyperreactivity.
		In prematurely born children without neonatal lung disease, the sequelae are related to airway hyperreactivity.

	Long-term sequelae to foodborne disease
		To increase the awareness of animal health professionals to these sequelae, the authors discuss two groups of sequelae which are strongly associated with preceding infection (reactive arthritides, including Reiter's syndrome, and the Guillain-Barré syndrome) as well as the possible association between Crohn's disease and Mycobacterium paratuberculosis.
		More reliable epidemiological and economic data on chronic sequelae to foodborne disease will be needed for future evaluation of the cost-effectiveness of mitigation strategies to reduce the occurrence of foodborne pathogens.
		The sheer magnitude of the impact associated with these long-term sequelae invites additional analysis and research to determine whether cost-effective mitigation strategies can be developed to reduce the occurrence of these diseases.

	RSV Info Center
		Reactive airway disease and pulmonary function deficits are two conditions known to strike those who have suffered from RSV bronchiolitis in their first year of life, even in children whose initial illness did not require hospitalization.
		It is important to note that there is a broad spectrum of RSV infection ranging from mild to severe to fatal, and it is not known whether RSV sequelae follow mild RSV infections, as most prospective studies follow cases of infants who were hospitalized for moderate to severe RSV infection.
		If viral infections early in life cause long-term sequelae, RSV can be considered a prime candidate by virtue of high incidence in early infancy.

	WCP Online: Collateral Damage: The Chronic Sequelae of Waterborne Pathogens
		Chronic sequelae are defined as the secondary adverse health effects that occur as a result of a microbial infection with different symptoms than the initial acute reaction, typically lasting three or more months.
		For some, the chronic sequelae may be an indirect result of the acute illness overtaxing the immune system and causing problems due to an impairment of the immune system, thus initiating a secondary health effect.
		While the majority of sequelae from chronic infections arenï¾’t immediately life threatening, oneï¾’s quality of life can be greatly affected.

	Renal Sequelae of Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS) - Institute of Medicine
		Interest in hantavirus infection was abruptly stimulated by a 1993 outbreak of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in the Four Corners area of the United States, with case fatality rates as high as 50 percent.
		The Four Corners outbreak brought with it concerns about the presence of newly identified infectious disease agents in the United States, as well as concerns regarding the possible long-term sequelae of a disease of this severity.
		A study published in 1960, in which the medical records of 1,416 KHF cases and 831 comparison individuals (all white) were reviewed, found a small but significant increase in renal injury and genitourinary disease three to five years after the acute phase of KHF.

		GLEC worked directly with EPA to help understand which waterborne pathogens can cause chronic sequelae, what those conditions are, and the risks of acquiring chronic conditions as a consequence of acute or chronic exposure to the pathogens.
		The databases were also searched to obtain information on the chronic sequelae of these conditions, and various risk and incidence factors.
