A Snapshot of the UK Blood Donor Plasma Virome: A Retrospective Cross‐Sectional Cohort Study

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Estimates of population prevalence and genetic diversity of bloodborne viruses in healthy humans are essential to support population‐scale monitoring for transfusion transmission risk. In the UK and globally, blood donations are routinely screened for a limited number of high‐consequence pathogens, but the full composition of the plasma virome

An Epstein‐Barr Virus Nuclear Antigen 1 (EBNA1) Serology Test Strip for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Risk Screening

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Antibodies to Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) proteins can predict nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) risk. We previously defined a prototype EBNA1 protein panel and multiplex immunoblot assay that distinguishes NPC risk several years pre‐diagnosis.

Assessing the Burden of Operatively Managed Extremity Fractures in Malawi: A Tale of Two Tertiary Hospitals

World Journal of Surgery, Volume 50, Issue 8, Page 2480-2490, August 2026.
Low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) account for 90% of all deaths from injury globally, yet health systems remain poorly equipped to manage the escalating trauma burden. This study highlights a critical and escalating operative trauma burden in Malawi, driven largely by road traffic injuries, particularly motorcycle taxis.

Chemokines in Alzheimer's Disease: Early Defence, Late Damage and the Impact of Sex and Infection

Basic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 139, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Chemokines constitute a versatile signalling network maintaining homeostasis and glia–neuron communication in the healthy brain but become progressively dysregulated during aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD). This review examines how chemokine systems transition from tightly regulated homeostatic signals to drivers of chronic neuroinflammation
