However, ensuring the accuracy of MLVA data among multiple laboratories remains difficult. We developed a method of constructing adjusted look-up tables, which are necessary for MLVA profiling, at each laboratory using a regression analysis based on electrophoresis data from 24 in-house reference strains. On performing MLVA against 51 EHEC O157 isolates, the repeat numbers of 46 isolates were determined accurately using the look-up table with a 99% prediction interval, an outcome superior to that when using a 95% prediction interval. For the remaining five isolates, although the electrophoresis size fell outside the look-up table, we were able to predict the repeat number accurately by extrapolation or the nearest values of the look-up table. Our approach provides more accurate results than a nonadjusted conventional look-up table for calibrating MLVA profiles.Allado, Edem, Bruno Chenuel, Jean-Charles Vauthier, Oriane Hily, Sébastien Richard, and Mathias Poussel. Transient central facial palsy at high altitude a case report. High Alt Med Biol. 00000-000, 2020.-High altitude cerebral edema (HACE) is a severe form of acute mountain sickness (AMS). Besides this life-threatening condition, other neurological disorders may develop at high altitude, even if the precise pathophysiological mechanisms generally remain undetermined and are often debated. We report the case of a 34-year-old woman presenting with moderate AMS during an ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro. While descending from the summit, she suddenly experienced focal neurological symptoms of visual blurring, tinnitus, lightheadedness, and the findings of left-sided central facial palsy (flattened nasolabial fold, fall of labial commissure, dysarthria, difficulty in whistling, and facial dysesthesia). These symptoms
