Prevention and treatment of cytomegalovirus infections in solid organ transplantation
: Human cytomegalovirus, a member of the Betaherpesviridae, has the ability to establish lifelong persistent and usually latent infection. Following primary infection (asymptomatic or symptomatic: CMV mononucleosis), cytomegalovirus disease is generally ...

Splenic Infarction in Acute Cytomegalovirus and Human Parvovirus Concomitant Infection
We present a case report of a 35-year-old woman who had splenic infarction. She had persistent high fever, systemic joint pain, and abnormal liver function. She was diagnosed with cytomegalovirus and human parvovirus B19 concomitant infection.

Spliced transcripts of human cytomegalovirus [PDF]
The availability of the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) genomic sequence has resulted in more extensive knowledge of the overall coding capacity of the virus. Using polymerase chain reaction and rapid sequencing techniques, we have studied the splicing of mRNAs from a number of the predicted open reading frames (ORFs). Splicing was found between the UL122(

Cytomegalovirus Active Infection in Persons Infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus
Background and Objective: Cytomegalovirus (CMV), one of the most common opportunistic pathogens in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), can cause the diseases such as encephalitis, pneumonia, and chorioretinitis. This study aimed at

Cytomegalovirus Antigenic Mimicry of Human Alloreactive Peptides: A Potential Trigger for Graft versus Host Disease [PDF]
The association between human cytomegalovirus (hCMV) reactivation and the development of graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) has been observed in stem cell transplantation (SCT). Seventy seven SCT donor-recipient pairs (DRP) (HLA matched unrelated donor (MUD), n=50; matched related donor (MRD), n=27) underwent whole exome sequencing to identify single ...

A Multimodal Data Set of Human Handovers with Design Implications for Human-Robot Handovers [PDF]
Handovers are basic yet sophisticated motor tasks performed seamlessly by humans. They are among the most common activities in our daily lives and social environments. This makes mastering the art of handovers critical for a social and collaborative robot. In this work, we present an experimental study that involved human-human handovers by 13 pairs, i.

Inhibition of Human Cytomegalovirus by Rifampin
Replication of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) was inhibited by 50 mug/ml of rifampin. Nevertheless, a number of functions of CMV were still expressed in the presence of rifampin, including early cell rounding, and the development of immuno-fluorescent antigen, haemadsorption antigen, complement-fixing antigen and precipitin antigens.

Preventing Infection by Human Cytomegalovirus [PDF]
Abstract The way to a successful vaccine against human cytomegalovirus is hampered by the peculiar biology of this infection. However, some candidate vaccines have been shown to protect seronegative women and transplant recipients, and we should know soon whether they can prevent congenital infection.

Maintenance of diversity in a hierarchical host-parasite model with balancing selection and reinfection [PDF]
Inspired by DNA data of the human cytomegalovirus we propose a model of a two-type parasite population distributed over its hosts. The parasite is capable to persist in its host till the host dies, and to reinfect other hosts. To maintain type diversity within a host, balancing selection is assumed. For a suitable parameter regime we show that in the

Inter-X: Towards Versatile Human-Human Interaction Analysis [PDF]
The analysis of the ubiquitous human-human interactions is pivotal for understanding humans as social beings. Existing human-human interaction datasets typically suffer from inaccurate body motions, lack of hand gestures and fine-grained textual descriptions.
