open access: yesJNCI Monographs, 1998
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS)-associated herpesvirus, also known as human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), is the first known human member of the genus Rhadinovirus. It is regularly found by polymerase chain reaction in all forms of KS, in certain types of Castleman's disease, and in body cavity-based B-cell lymphoma.

Reactivation and Lytic Replication of Kaposi’s Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus: An Update

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
The life cycle of Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) consists of two phases, latent and lytic. The virus establishes latency as a strategy for avoiding host immune surveillance and fusing symbiotically with the host for lifetime persistent ...

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

open access: yesPediatric 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

open access: yesProteins: 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

open access: yesAustralian 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.
