Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2004 The potential consequences of a competently executed smallpox attack have not been adequately considered by policy makers. The possibility of release of an aerosolized and/or bioengineered virus must be anticipated and planned for. The transmission and infectivity of variola virus are examined.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Chronic stress drives autophagy‐mediated β2‐AR degradation, impairing antiviral immunity and promoting poxvirus lethality. Lycorine directly stabilizes β2‐AR to restore host defense, suppress excessive inflammation and improve survival. ABSTRACT Psychological stress is a pervasive yet poorly understood modulator of infectious disease outcomes. Here, we

The Role of Brincidofovir in Preparation for a Potential Smallpox Outbreak
Viruses, 2017 Smallpox (variola) virus is considered a Category A bioterrorism agent due to its ability to spread rapidly and the high morbidity and mortality rates associated with infection. Current recommendations recognize the importance of oral antivirals and call

Membranous dysmenorrhea and decidual casts: A scoping review
International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Membranous dysmenorrhea, characterized by the expulsion of intact endometrial tissue rather than gradual dissolution during menstruation, occasionally presents as a decidual cast—a complete triangular mold of the uterine cavity. This poorly understood condition is likely underdiagnosed.

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.Abstract Infectious diseases remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among pediatric transplant recipients, despite significant advances in transplantation management. Vaccination is the most effective strategy to prevent infections; however, its efficacy is hindered in solid organ transplant (SOT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT)

Pietro Verri: The History of Smallpox Vaccination Through His Pencil
JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The last case of natural smallpox infection occurred in 1977, and the disease is considered eradicated since 1980. Throughout the history of medicine, early attempts to combat smallpox involved inoculation, a practice based on the observation that those who recovered from the disease became immune.
