Euro surveillance : bulletin Europeen sur les maladies transmissibles = European communicable disease bulletin. vol 27. issue 10. 2022-03-11. PMID:35272748. |
wastewater surveillance is increasingly used to track the introduction and spread of sars-cov-2 variants through sequencing approaches.aimhere, we adapt and apply a rapid, high-throughput method for detection and quantification of the relative frequency of two deletions characteristic of the alpha, beta, and gamma vocs in wastewater.methodswe developed drop-off rt-dpcr assays and an associated statistical approach implemented in the r package wwdpcr to analyse temporal dynamics of sars-cov-2 signature mutations (spike Δ69-70 and orf1a Δ3675-3677) in wastewater and quantify transmission fitness advantage of the alpha voc.resultsbased on analysis of zurich wastewater samples, the estimated transmission fitness advantage of sars-cov-2 alpha based on the spike Δ69-70 was 0.34 (95% confidence interval (ci): 0.30-0.39) and based on orf1a Δ3675-3677 was 0.53 (95% ci: 0.49-0.57), aligning with the transmission fitness advantage of alpha estimated by clinical sample sequencing in the surrounding canton of 0.49 (95% ci: 0.38-0.61).conclusiondigital pcr assays targeting signature mutations in wastewater offer near real-time monitoring of sars-cov-2 vocs and potentially earlier detection and inference on transmission fitness advantage than clinical sequencing. |

from adjusted multivariate models, we found that: (1) increased frontocentral high-beta power and reduced central theta activity are positively correlated with pain intensity (β = 0.012, 95% ci 0.004-0.020; and β = - 0.008; 95% ci 0.014 to - 0.003; respectively); (2) delta and alpha oscillations have a direct relationship with higher cortical inhibition; (3) diffuse increased power at low frequencies (delta and theta) are associated with poor cognition, aging, and depressive symptoms; and (4) higher alpha and beta power over sensorimotor areas seem to be a maladaptive compensatory mechanism to poor motor function and severe joint degeneration. |
