Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe clinical interview of immigrant patients requires cultural competence to ensure good understanding and correct communication, in addition to collecting specific information that differs from that of native patients, such as origin and migratory route or cultural identity. Screening for latent tuberculosis infection is recommended in certain cases and screening for other infections, both cosmopolitan with a higher prevalence in migrants (HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B and C) and imported (Chagas, intestinal parasites, st...

Validation of Candidate Host Cell Entry Factors for Bovine Herpes Virus Type-1 Based on a Genome-Wide CRISPR Knockout Screen
Viruses. 2024 Feb 15;16(2):297. doi: 10.3390/v16020297.ABSTRACTTo identify host factors that affect Bovine Herpes Virus Type 1 (BoHV-1) infection we previously applied a genome wide CRISPR knockout screen targeting all bovine protein coding genes. By doing so we compiled a list of both pro-viral and anti-viral proteins involved in BoHV-1 replication. Here we provide further analysis of those that are potentially involved in viral entry into the host cell. We first generated single cell knockout clones deficient in some of the candidate genes for validation. We provide evidence that Polio Virus Receptor-related protein (PVR...

Things to Do in Sunny San Diego
The historic aircraft carrier, USS Midway Museum moored in Broadway Pier in San Diego.
SHM Converge 2024 is just around the corner, taking place from April 12 to 15. While noting down the sessions you wish to attend and catching up with friends and colleagues (see our editorial board’s recommendations), remember to also enjoy the beautiful city of San Diego.
San Diego is known as the birthplace of California, as it was the first location in the western U.S. where Europeans set foot, specifically Point Loma. It’s also the birthplace of the California burrito, which includes French fries and carne asada. The city is hom...

Immunogenicity and lot-to-lot consistency of booster shot with Sabin inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine in Chinese children aged 18-24 Months: A phase Ⅳ clinical trial
In conclusion, as the anti-poliovirus antibodies gradually waned one year post sIPV primary vaccination, especially the type 2 antibody waned to a very low level, suggesting the importance of the booster immunization for children at the age of 18-24 months old. The booster shot can greatly enhance the antibody level and protect children from the potential risk of infection with WPV and VDPV by supplementing the anti-poliovirus type 2 immunity gap in the current real world.

Observational analysis of the immunogenicity and safety of various types of spinal muscular atrophy vaccines
ConclusionThese findings indicated that both the oral vaccine and inactivated vaccine had good safety and immunogenicity in infants aged ≥ 2 months. The sIPV group generated higher levels of neutralizing antibodies in serum, particularly evident in the post-immunization GMT levels for types II and III. (Source: Inflammopharmacology)

Changes in self-perceived performance and satisfaction with performance of daily activities following interdisciplinary rehabilitation in people with late effects of polio
CONCLUSION: Interdisciplinary rehabilitation can enhance self-rated performance and satisfaction with performance of daily activities among people with LEoP. Future studies of rehabilitation for people with LEoP should use a prospective design and capture the participants' process of change related to their rehabilitation period.PMID:38306063 | DOI:10.3233/NRE-230219 (Source: NeuroRehabilitation)

GSE233949 G207 and PVSRIPO treatment of medulloblastoma and pediatric high grade glioma
Contributors : Eric M Thompson ; Gregory K Friedman ; Kevin StevensonSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Homo sapiensHSV G207 and polio:rhinovirus PVSRIPO are two different viral immunotherapies used to treat malignant brain tumors in children. While some patients experience durable survival with these viral immunotherapies, many children have no response. The purpose of this work is to explore these viral immunotherapies in pediatric high grade glioma (pHGG) and medulloblastoma in order to elucidate how tumor response to treatment and to identify putative biomarkers of response and ...
