Does clinical exposure to different skin tones during training improve diagnostic ability?
Abstract Background Previous studies have shown that medical students demonstrate poorer performance when diagnosing pathology in skin of colour (SOC) compared to white skin (WS); it is important to understand the reasons underpinning this. If not addressed, poorer differential diagnostic ability in certain skin tones could entrench existing racial ...

Stewardship of Molecular Diagnostics in Transplant Viral Infections
ABSTRACT The transplant environment requires special considerations when testing for viral infections as immunosuppression results in atypical infection profiles. Microbes otherwise considered commensals or causing mild disease can lead to severe infections in transplant environments. Therefore, guidelines tend to recommend broader microbial testing in

Glässer’s disease caused by Glaesserella parasuis (GPS) is a severe disease that results in substantial economic losses to the swine industry worldwide. Here we describe a multiepitope vaccine cocktail (MEVC) that was designed using reverse vaccinology and immunoinformatics. The MEVC was comprised of three multiepitope subunits (MESs, designated as TB,

ABSTRACT Ocular adverse events following COVID‐19 vaccination are well described; however, systematic analyses of non‐COVID antiviral vaccines remain limited. This review aimed to evaluate ocular complications associated with non‐COVID antiviral immunizations, including influenza, varicella‐zoster (VZV), human papillomavirus (HPV), and hepatitis B (HBV)

ABSTRACT Inappropriate complement activation is a key driver of hematopoietic cell transplant‐associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA‐TMA). Treatment with narsoplimab, an inhibitor of MASP‐2, the effector enzyme of the lectin pathway, resulted in a response rate of 61% in a Phase 2 clinical trial in adults with TA‐TMA.

Adjuvants : an essential component of neisseria vaccines [PDF]
Adjuvants may be classified into delivery systems and immune potentiator or modulator molecules based on their mechanism of action. Neisseria vaccines containing traditional adjuvants such as aluminium salts have existed for long time, but meningitis ...
