Human herpesvirus 6A induces apoptosis of HSB-2 cells via a mitochondrion-related caspase pathway

Journal of Biomedical Research, 2010
Apoptosis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of viral infections. In this study, we investigated the cell death processes during productive HHV-6A infection and the underlying mechanisms. Annexin V-PI staining and electron microscopy indicated that HHV-6A is a strong inducer of apoptosis.

Bezlotoxumab as Treatment for Recurrent/Chronic Clostridioides difficile Infection in Pediatric Stem Cell Transplant Recipients: A Multi‐Institutional Experience

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) represents a significant health risk to pediatric stem cell transplant (SCT) patients. In these patients, recurrent CDI is common, requiring prolonged antibiotic usage and increased hospitalization. Bezlotoxumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets the toxin responsible for CDI, has demonstrated efficacy

Exploring the Hemoglobin T to R2 Path Using Gaussian Elastic Network Correlation Map Distance

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proteins are dynamic and undergo conformational changes. These changes may affect the motions executed by different regions of the proteins and are reflected in the motion correlation map. A method to accurately measure these changes is presented and exemplified on a set of tetrameric Hemoglobin structures.

A 2‐Min Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Awareness Video Improves Pregnant Women's Knowledge and Planned Adherence to Hygiene Precautions

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) is a leading infectious cause of life‐long neurodevelopmental disabilities, but public awareness of CMV is low. This study evaluated a short educational video on cCMV for its acceptability and impact on pregnant women's knowledge and planned hygiene adherence.

Feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) infection in domestic pet cats in Australia and New Zealand: Guidelines for diagnosis, prevention and management

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Progressive feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) infection dramatically shortens the lives of infected cats, causing acquired immunodeficiency, aplastic anaemia, lymphoma, leukaemia and other myeloproliferative diseases. The potential impact of regressive FeLV infection on the development of disease remains largely unknown, although there is evidence it ...
