Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-Encoded Accessory Proteins Impair MDA5-and TBK1-Mediated Activation of NF- κB.
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-Encoded Accessory Proteins Impair MDA5-and TBK1-Mediated Activation of NF-κB. J Microbiol Biotechnol. 2019 Aug 14;: Authors: Lee JY, Bae S, Myoung J Abstract Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a newly emerging coronavirus which is zoonotic from bats and camels. Its infection in humans can be fatal especially in patients with preexisting conditions due to smoking and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Among the 25 proteins encoded by MERS-CoV, 5 accessory proteins seem to be involved in viral evasion of the host immune res...

Considerations for management of longitudinal melanonychia during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic: An international perspective
To the Editor: Longitudinal melanonychia is the presenting sign of nail unit melanoma in two-thirds of cases and is therefore among the most important conditions managed by dermatologists. In normal times, referral for longitudinal melanonychia would prompt an expedited appointment for clinical examination and dermoscopy.1 However, because of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), dermatologists have been asked to reconsider “urgent/emergency” conditions. The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has propelled physicians to unexpectedly adopt telemedicine without adequate guidance for managing patien...

Melanoma Screening Days During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic: Strategies to Adopt
AbstractMelanoma is one of the most common cancers, with an increasing incidence worldwide. Disease stage represents the most important prognosis factor; therefore, early diagnosis is essential for melanoma patients ’ survival rates. Following the outbreak in China, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has spread all over the world and the majority of dermatological visits have been postponed. These measures could cause a delay in melanoma diagnosis and management leading to an increase of morbidi ty, mortality and healthcare costs. Herein we propose an alternative model of skin cancer screening and the organ...

Retinoic acid-inducible gene 1 (RIG-1) and IFN- β promoter stimulator-1 (IPS-1) significantly down-regulated in the severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
CONCLUSION: Based on the results, it seems that RIG-1 and its signaling molecule, IPS-1, play key roles in the peripheral blood immune cells against SARS-CoV-2 and, their down-regulation may be induced by the virus to escape from immune responses.PMID:36309611 | DOI:10.1007/s11033-022-07981-2

‘This will happen before 2030’: how the science behind Covid vaccines might help to fight cancer
The success of mRNA-based drugs in combating coronavirus is inspiring scientists to create similar vaccines for melanoma and other tumoursIn December 2022, the US biotech firm Moderna, a company that emerged from relative obscurity to become a household name during the pandemic, published theresults of a clinical trialthat sent ripples through the world of cancer research.Conducted in partnership with the pharma company MSD, it demonstrated that a messenger RNA (mRNA) cancer vaccine, used in combination with immunotherapy, could offer significant benefit to patients with advanced melanoma who had received surgery to remove...

S úlyos Covid-19-fertőzés disszeminált melanómás betegnél, immunterápiát követően
Magy Onkol. 2022 Mar 28;66(1):51-63. Epub 2022 Feb 25.ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic has created significant barriers to the treatment of cancer patients requiring regular hospitalisation, as coronavirus infection significantly increases the risk of serious and even fatal complications. In our case report, a middle-aged patient with advanced melanoma has developed immune-mediated pancreatitis after more than a year of pembrolizumab treatment. After changing the therapy, the patient was diagnosed with coronavirus infection, which led to nearly a month of hospitalisation and rehabilitation, thus suspending active oncotherapeu...
