Analysis of the epidemiological situation of influenza in Guangzhou under the prevention and control of COVID-19 in June 2022
CONCLUSION: A high proportion of adolescents and adults has respiratory pathogens detected during fever illnesses during June in 2022 under the prevention and control of COVID-19. These data indicate that diagnosis, prevention, and control of respiratory tract infection should be paid attention under the prevention and control of COVID-19.PMID:38693702 | DOI:10.1111/crj.13754 (Source: Cancer Control)

Health impacts of war: case studies of New Zealand veterans of the First World War
CONCLUSION: These 10 selected cases reiterate how severe and extensive the morbidity burden for military personnel in WWI could be. Also illustrated is how the morbidity could contribute to adverse impacts on some of their lives after returning to New Zealand.PMID:38696832 | DOI:10.26635/6965.6514 (Source: New Zealand Medical Journal)

Disposable graphene-oxide screen-printed electrode integrated with portable device for detection of SARS-CoV-2 in clinical samples
Bioelectrochemistry. 2024 Apr 27;158:108722. doi: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2024.108722. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) diagnosis is the need of the hour, as cases are persistently increasing, and new variants are constantly emerging. The ever-changing nature of the virus leading to multiple variants, has brought an imminent need for early, accurate and rapid detection methods. Herein, we have reported the design and fabrication of Screen-Printed Electrodes (SPEs) with graphene oxide (GO) as working electrode and modified with specific antibodies for SARS-CoV-2 Recepto...

GSE204790 RNA-seq data of 293T cells trasfected with different viral PA-X proteins of influenza viruses
Contributors : Jiao Hu ; Xia ChenSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Homo sapiensPA-X is a small accessory protein that modulates the virulence of various influenza A virus both in mammals and birds.However, the specific role of PA-X in the pathogenesis of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) H7N9 subtype in mammals and avian species is largely unknown.By functional analysis, we want to investigate critical amino acids that contribute to the host shutoff ability of the PA-X protein of the H7N9 virus in 293T cells (Source: GEO: Gene Expression Omnibus)

Mass-gatherings in sport: medicine, leadership and mentorship
Mass-gathering medicine The World Health Organistion (WHO) defines a mass gathering as a planned or spontaneous event where the number of people attending could strain the planning and response resources of the community or country hosting the event.1 The seed for mass-gathering medicine as a specialty was sown in the 2009 Hajj, which was held during the 2009 HIN1 influenza pandemic.2 3 Major international sporting events are also mass gatherings that require the planning and delivery of healthcare, not only for the athlete and their team, but also for the attendees and event staff. Typically, the Chief Medical Officer (CM...

Scientists call new measures to control bird flu in cows ‘a drop in the bucket’
Too little and too late—that’s how many scientists see a set of measures ordered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to slow the unprecedented outbreak of the H5N1 avian influenza virus in dairy cows. The order, which took effect on 29 April, 1 month after the first reported cases, bans the transport of infected cows from state to state. But with the virus already infecting farms in at least nine states, “It’s a drop in the bucket,” says evolutionary biologist Mike Worobey of the University of Arizona. Scientists are also troubled by the lack of widespread testing for the virus, a strain known as c...

Vaccination with antigenically complex hemagglutinin mixtures confers broad protection from influenza disease
Sci Transl Med. 2024 May;16(745):eadj4685. doi: 10.1126/scitranslmed.adj4685. Epub 2024 May 1.ABSTRACTCurrent seasonal influenza virus vaccines induce responses primarily against immunodominant but highly plastic epitopes in the globular head of the hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein. Because of viral antigenic drift at these sites, vaccines need to be updated and readministered annually. To increase the breadth of influenza vaccine-mediated protection, we developed an antigenically complex mixture of recombinant HAs designed to redirect immune responses to more conserved domains of the protein. Vaccine-induced antibodies wer...

The Role of Human Mobility Flow in the Region-to-Region Spread of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection among Infants: An Infographic Analysis
In this study, we investigated the correlation between the trend of regional reports of the pediatric RSV infections and the HMF based on cellular phone signal data. Upon closer examination of both epidemiological trend and HMF data, the spread of pediatric RSV infection from one region to another was logically explained by HMF, which would serve as the evidence of the dependence of regional transmission on HMF. This is the first solid evidence where this correlation has been clearly observed for the common respiratory infections. While social implementation of infection control measures has successfully suppressed the dro...

Collection and transportation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A virus diagnostic samples: Optimizing the usage of guanidine-based chaotropic salts for enhanced biosafety and viral genome preservation
Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2024 Apr 23;715:149994. doi: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2024.149994. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMany virus lysis/transport buffers used in molecular diagnostics, including the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA, contain guanidine-based chaotropic salts, primarily guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCl) or guanidine isothiocyanate (GITC). Although the virucidal effects of GuHCl and GITC alone against some enveloped viruses have been established, standardized data on their optimum virucidal concentrations against SARS-CoV-2 and effects on viral RNA stability are scarce.
