Cell-Mediated Responses to Human Metapneumovirus Infection

Viruses, 2020
Viruses are the most common cause of acute respiratory tract infections (ARTI). Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) frequently causes viral pneumonia which can become life-threatening if the virus spreads to the lungs. Even though hMPV was only isolated in 2001,

Clinical characteristics and risk factors of severe bocavirus‐positive pneumonia in children and a literature review

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
The study explored the clinical characteristics and risk factors of HBoV‐positive severe pneumonia in children. These findings indicate that HBoV can be identified in respiratory samples from children with severe pneumonia, denoting its role as a viral pathogen in hospitalized children with this condition.

Respiratory admissions and impact of COVID‐19 lockdowns for children with severe cerebral palsy

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
In a population cohort of children with severe cerebral palsy, there was a reduced frequency of hospitalization for respiratory illness during periods of restricted social contact, implemented to reduce transmission of COVID‐19. This mirrored trends in the wider population and underlines the importance of community viral transmission in these children.

A Multimodal Data Set of Human Handovers with Design Implications for Human-Robot Handovers [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
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.
