Respiratory viruses in children hospitalized for acute lower respiratory tract infection in Ghana
Background Acute respiratory tract infections are one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality among young children in developing countries. Information on the viral aetiology of acute respiratory infections in developing countries is very limited.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza are major causes of respiratory infections globally. Although vaccines are available, serological tools to assess population-level immunity and maternal antibody transfer remain limited. This study aimed to develop and evaluate ELISA assays for detecting anti-RSV and anti-influenza antibodies as a basis ...

Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Heritable IFNAR1 Deficiency in Oceania
ABSTRACT Autosomal recessive interferon alpha and beta receptor subunit 1 (IFNAR1) deficiency is a rare and heritable inborn error of immunity (IEI) predisposing individuals to severe and life‐threatening viral infections. It is more common in people of Western Polynesian ancestry, with estimates of around one in six thousand live births affected, due ...

The pandemic gap of respiratory viruses during the COVID-19 pandemic
Respiratory viruses typically exhibit seasonal patterns, posing ongoing public health challenges. The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic altered these patterns dramatically, with many common respiratory viruses disappearing from circulation for extended ...

Oral Health, Periodontitis, and Respiratory Diseases: Biological Pathways
This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive update on the potential mechanisms by which poor oral health and periodontitis impact lung health, focusing on pneumonia, COPD, and asthma. ABSTRACT Poor oral hygiene and periodontitis influence lung diseases such as pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), COVID‐19, and asthma.

ABSTRACT Background Prenatal antibiotic exposure and caesarean births are associated with an increased risk of hospitalised infection in children, but few studies have evaluated their impact on less severe infections and possible joint effects. Conversely, longer breastfeeding duration is protective against infections, but whether this effect varies ...

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

We synthesized GPS telemetry, genetic, and pathogen data to evaluate metapopulation processes in a reintroduced Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis) population in Dinosaur National Monument. We estimated subpopulation‐specific abundances and found 4 small subpopulations with high genetic diversity, partial connectivity, and ...
