Influenza Research in the Eastern Mediterranean Region: A Review.
Authors: Khan W, El Rifay AS, Malik M, Kayali G Abstract Given the importance of influenza infections in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR), we conducted a comprehensive literature review to analyze the status of influenza research in the region from 2012. Influenza research has gained more momentum recently with the emergence of H5N1 and new virus strains. Research covering epidemiological, veterinary, and basic science aspects is growing. More sequences were being generated per year, not only for diagnostic purposes but also for research. We included gray literature publications in our search and found sever...

Geospatial epidemiology of hospitalized patients with a positive influenza assay: A nationwide study in Iran, 2016 –2018
ConclusionsWe characterized the spatial and epidemiological heterogeneities of severe hospitalized influenza cases confirmed by PCR in Iran. Detecting influenza hotspot clusters could inform prioritization and geographic specificity of influenza prevention, testing, and mitigation resource management, including vaccination planning in Iran.

Viral aetiology of acute central nervous system infections in children, Iran
Conclusion. The findings of this research provide insights into the clinical and viral aetiological patterns of acute CNS infections in Iran, and the importance of molecular methods to identify CNS viruses. HSV and VZV were identified as important causes of encephalitis in young children.PMID:36301597 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001602

Prevalence of respiratory viruses in Iranian patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
CONCLUSION: Determining a correlation between the viruses and IPF is not an easy task, and therefore, this will require more research. In addition, the CLART Pneumovir DNA array can be considered as a useful method for simultaneous detection of several viral respiratory infections. PMID: 29068280 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Plant-Derived Alkaloids: The Promising Disease-Modifying Agents for Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Conclusion This paper summarizes the current findings regarding the anti-colitis activity of plant-derived alkaloids and shows how these alkaloids exhibit significant and beneficial effects in alleviating colonic inflammation. These natural alkaloids are not only promising agents for IBD treatment but are also components for developing new wonder drugs. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms or toxicological evaluation of most plant-derived alkaloids still require much scientific research, and their actual efficacies for IBD patients have not been verified well in field research. Thus, further clinical trials to elu...

Prevalence of human influenza virus in Iran: Evidence from a systematic review and meta-analysis
Publication date: February 2018 Source:Microbial Pathogenesis, Volume 115 Author(s): Sayed-Hamidreza Mozhgani, Mohadeseh Zarei Ghobadi, Sina Moeini, Reza Pakzad, Pegah Kananizadeh, Farida Behzadian This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to consolidate the information on the prevalence of the human influenza virus, including H1N1 and H3N2 as well as B-type influenza across Iran from 2000 to December 2016. The literature search was based on keywords including “influenza and Iran”, “human influenza”, “prevalence”, “relative frequency”, “incidence”, and “drug” in MEDLINE (PubMed), Web o...

Full genome characterization of Iranian H5N8 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus from Hooded Crow (Corvus cornix), 2017: The first report
This study is the first full genome characterization H5N8 HPAIV in Iran. The data complete the puzzle of molecular epidemiology of H5N8 HPAIV in Iran and the region. Our study provides evidence for fast and continuing reassortment of H5 clade 2.3.4.4 viruses, that might lead to changes in virus structural and functional characteristics such as the route and method of transmission of the virus and virus infective, pathogenic and zoonotic potential.

Comparison of clinical outcomes, demographic, and laboratory characteristics of hospitalized COVID-19 patients during major three waves driven by Alpha, Delta, and Omicron variants in Tehran, Iran
CONCLUSIONS: Although the Omicron variant caused less severe disease, in older patients who were hospitalized due to Omicron infection, longer hospital and ICU stays were reported, which could be attributed to their old age. In particular, elderly patients are more vulnerable to severe COVID-19; otherwise, as expected, other laboratory parameters and clinical outcomes were in accordance with differences in pathogenicity and infectivity of these variants.PMID:37565071 | PMC:PMC10410233 | DOI:10.1111/irv.13184

The use of google trends to investigate the loss of smell related searches during COVID ‐19 outbreak
ConclusionThere is a strong correlation between the frequency of searches for smell ‐related information and the onset of COVID‐19 infection in Italy, Spain, UK, USA, Germany, France, Iran and Netherlands. We would hypothesise this may relate to a previously under‐recognised symptom.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
