How Wastewater Testing Can Help Tackle America ’ s Opioid Crisis
Among the many lasting legacies of COVID-19 may be a newfound appreciation for the value of what we flush down the toilet and wash down the drain.
Wastewater can be a rich source of information about infectious diseases, like COVID-19, as well as flu, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), mpox and polio, since pathogens like viruses are shed in feces, urine and saliva, all of which is drained into sewage treatment plants. Sampling that water is a good way to screen for certain viruses, and, as more people bypass the medical system and labs in favor of testing themselves at home for things like COVID-19, health agencies lik...

In Situ Spectroscopic Detection of Large-Scale Reorientations of Transmembrane Helices During Influenza A M2 Channel Opening
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2023 Sep 21:e202309069. doi: 10.1002/anie.202309069. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTViroporins are small ion channels in membranes of enveloped viruses that play key roles during viral life cycles. To use viroporins as drug targets against viral infection requires in-depth mechanistic understanding and, with that, methods that enable investigations under in situ conditions. Here, we apply surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy to Influenza A M2 reconstituted within a solid-supported membrane, to shed light on the mechanics of its viroporin function. M2 is a paradigm of pH-activated...

Review: Factors influencing parents' decisions to vaccinate children against COVID-19
CONCLUSION: This review identified critical factors affecting parents' vaccination behavior for their children. Awareness of these factors may reduce parents' COVID-19 vaccine refusal for their children and guide future planning and development of public health studies.PMID:37735055 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.09.020

Identification of γ-Fagarine as a novel antiviral agent against respiratory virus (hMPV) infection
In this study, we aim to investigate the effect of γ-Fagarine on hMPV infection and explore its underlying molecular mechanisms. Vero-E6 and 16HBE cells were used as cell models. Virus replication and microcosm character were explored in Vero-E6 cells. Then, the antiviral activities were investigated by quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR), western blotting (WB), and indirect immunofluorescence assays (IFAs) in Vero-E6 and 16HBE. Potential mechanisms of γ-Fagarine related to HSPG and lysosome pH were assessed in 16HBE cells. Lastly, a virus-infected mouse model was established and antiviral assay in vivo was conducted. ...

Bibliometric analysis of publication trends and topics of influenza ‐related encephalopathy from 2000 to 2022
ConclusionsThe research progress, hotspots, and frontiers on influenza-related encephalopathy after 2000 were described through the visualization of bibliometrics. The findings will lay the groundwork for future studies and provide a reference for influenza-related encephalopathy. Research on influenza-related encephalopathy is basically at a stable stage, and the number of research results is related to outbreaks of the influenza virus.

Efficient trapping and destruction of SARS-CoV-2 using PECO-assisted Molekule air purifiers in the laboratory and real-world settings
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2023 Sep 18;264:115487. doi: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.115487. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is transmitted human-to-human via aerosols and air-borne droplets. Therefore, capturing and destroying viruses from indoor premises are essential to reduce the probability of human exposure and virus transmission. While the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems help in reducing the indoor viral load, a targeted approach is required to effectively remove SARS-CoV-2 from indoor air to address human exposure concerns. The present study...

Evaluation the effect of dietary vitamin E, sesamin and thymoquinone bioactive compounds on immunological response, intestinal traits and MUC-2 gene expression in broiler Japanese quails ( < em > Coturnix japonica < /em > )
Anim Biotechnol. 2023 Sep 20:1-11. doi: 10.1080/10495398.2023.2259437. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe current study was performed to determine the effect of dietary vitamin E, sesamin and thymoquinone bioactive lignans derived from sesame and black seed on immunological response, intestinal traits and Mucin2 gene expression in broiler quails. Three hundred and fifty (one days-old) quails were allotted to seven dietary treatments with five replicates as an experimental randomized design study. Treatments were basal diet as a control, control +100 and +200 mg of vitamin E, sesamin and thymoquinone per each kg of diet resp...

Southern Hemisphere Outcomes Support Flu Vaccine Effectiveness
The 2023 flu vaccine reduced the risk of influenza-related hospitalizations by about 52% in the Southern Hemisphere, where the flu season typically spans March through September, according to data from 2780 patients who were hospitalized with severe acute respiratory infections in 5 countries.

Patient-reported reactogenicity and safety of COVID-19 vaccinations vs. comparator vaccinations: a comparative observational cohort study
CONCLUSION: The rate of adverse reactions after established vaccinations was roughly comparable to previous studies. Two weeks after vaccination, participants in the SARS-CoV-2 vaccination group reported more local and systemic local reactions than participants in the comparator group. In the further course, however, there were no higher odds of medical consultations in either of the two groups. Thus, altogether, we assume comparable safety.TRIAL REGISTRATION: DRKS-ID DRKS00025881 and DRKS-ID DRKS00025373.PMID:37726711 | DOI:10.1186/s12916-023-03064-6

Do both anticipated relief and anticipated regret predict decisions about influenza vaccination?
CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that, regardless of valence, counterfactual emotions predict vaccination intention and, indirectly, behaviour. Furthermore, participants may differ in their sensitivity to the anticipation of positive versus negative counterfactual emotions. These findings may permit more precise targeting of interventions to increase vaccine uptake.PMID:37722923 | DOI:10.1111/bjhp.12691
