Disease burden attributable to respiratory syncytial virus outbreaks in long-term care
CONCLUSION: Integration of RSV into existing respiratory pathogen surveillance programs is important to characterize susceptibility, transmissibility and virulence of RSV in at-risk populations. There is a need for public health organizations to publish the findings from outbreak investigations to provide evidence to inform RSV outbreak prevention and response in LTCH settings.PMID:38655245 | PMC:PMC11037883 | DOI:10.14745/ccdr.v50i12a03 (Source: Can Commun Dis Rep)

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation technology for adults: an evidence mapping based on systematic reviews
ConclusionsThere is limited available evidence for ECMO that large sample, multi-center, and multinational RCTs are needed. Most clinical topics are reported as beneficial or probably beneficial of SRs for ECMO. Evidence mapping is a valuable and reliable methodology to identify and present the existing evidence about therapeutic interventions. (Source: European Journal of Medical Research)

A live attenuated influenza B virus vaccine expressing RBD elicits protective immunity against SARS-CoV-2 in mice
In this study, we constructed an IBV-based vector vaccine by inserting a receptor-binding domain (RBD) into a non-structural protein 1 (NS1)-truncated gene (rIBV-NS110-RBD). Subsequently, we assessed its safety, immunogenicity, and protective efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 in mice, and observed that it was safe in a mouse model. Intranasal administration of a recombinant rIBV-NS110-RBD vaccine induced high levels of SARS-CoV-2-specific IgA and IgG antibodies and T cell-mediated immunity in mice. Administering two doses of the intranasal rIBV-NS110-RBD vaccine significantly reduced the viral load and lung damage in mice. This ...
