Antiviral Compounds to Address Influenza Pandemics: An Update from 2016-2022
Curr Med Chem. 2023 Sep 7. doi: 10.2174/0929867331666230907093501. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn recent decades, the world has gained experience of the dangerous effects of pandemic events caused by emerging respiratory viruses. In particular, annual epidemics of influenza are responsible for severe illness and deaths. Even if conventional influenza vaccines represent the most effective tool for preventing virus infections, they are not completely effective in patients with severe chronic disease and immunocompromised and new small molecules have emerged to prevent and control the influenza viruses. Thus, the attention ...

Treatment and prevention of influenza in geriatric patients
Expert Rev Clin Pharmacol. 2023 Aug 1. doi: 10.1080/17512433.2023.2243221. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Older adults are the most vulnerable population to the effects of influenza. These patients have age-related characteristics that make response to both infection and therapeutics different than younger patients.AREAS COVERED: Influenza vaccination and antiviral therapy are the foundational approach to preventing and treating influenza in geriatric patients. Older adults should receive one of three enhanced vaccines before influenza season beings. There are five antivirals used in influenza. Geriatric patie...

The Future of Flu: A Review of the Human Challenge Model and Systems Biology for Advancement of Influenza Vaccinology
Conclusions: Human challenge studies and systems biology approaches are important tools that should be used in concert to advance our understanding of influenza infection and provide targets for novel therapeutics and immunizations.
Introduction
Although influenza virus was recognized as an important pathogen over a century ago, influenza continues to cause a significant burden of disease. In the United States alone, it's estimated that in the 2017–2018 season there were 959,000 hospitalizations related to influenza illness, and 79,400 deaths (CDC, 2018). Worldwide, WHO estimates that annual influen...
