Activation of Human Eosinophils In Vitro by Respiratory Syncytial Virus [PDF]

Pediatric Research, 1992
To determine the nature of the interaction between viruses and eosinophils, normodense eosinophils were separated from the blood of healthy volunteers and incubated in vitro with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). After incubation for 2 h with the virus, 29.5 +/- 15.8% of the eosinophils demonstrated specific binding of the virus to the cell membrane ...

A Novel Air‐Liquid Interface Exposure System for Continuous Gas Exposure of Airway Epithelial Cells: Exposure of NO2 With Viral Co‐Challenge

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Most in vitro toxicological research investigating the effects of inhaled compounds employ short‐term exposures of a couple of hours, or repeated, intermittent exposures for a limited number of days with exposure free periods, whereas in reality, we are continuously exposed, albeit to variable concentrations.

Trends in hospitalizations for vaccine‐preventable diseases in the United States from 2014 to 2024

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Vaccination rates have declined in recent years, resulting in outbreaks of vaccine‐preventable diseases (VPDs) among children. We aimed to evaluate VPD hospitalization rates from 2014 to 2024 and to report associated trends in outcomes including intensive care utilization, mortality, readmissions, and costs.
