by Shanhui Ren, Zaib Ur Rehman, Bo Gao, Zengqi Yang, Jiyong Zhou, Chunchun Meng, Cuiping Song, Venugopal Nair, Yingjie Sun, Chan Ding Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage response (DDR) is the fundamental cellular response for maintaining genomic integrity and suppressing tumorigenesis. The activation of ataxia telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) kinase is central to DNA double-strand break (DSB) for maintaining host-genome integrity in mammalian cells. Oncolytic Newcastle disease virus (NDV) can selectively...
by Visnu Chaparro, Louis-Philippe Leroux, Laia Masvidal, Julie Lorent, Tyson E. Graber, Aude Zimmermann, Guillermo Arango Duque, Albert Descoteaux, Tommy Alain, Ola Larsson, Maritza Jaramillo The protozoan parasite Leishmania donovani (L. donovani) causes visceral leishmaniasis, a chronic infection which is fatal when untreated. Herein, we investigated whether in addition to altering transcription, L. donovani modulates host mRNA translation to establish a successful infection. Polysome-profiling...
Abstract Aim Although many prominent ear deformity (PED) surgery techniques have been described to date, there have been few comprehensive studies evaluating the recurrence rates in different age groups. Previous studies have focused either on the young or the elderly. The present clinical study compares recurrence rates among patients of different age groups undergoing PED repair and discusses cartilage morphology. ...

BackgroundPrimary ovarian insufficiency (POI) affects 1% of women under 40 years and is a public health problem. The genetic causes of POI are highly heterogeneous with isolated or syndromic forms. Recently, variants in genes involved in DNA repair have been shown to cause POI. Notably, syndromic POI with Fanconi anaemia (FA) traits related to biallelic BRCA2 truncated variants has been reported. Here, we report a novel phenotype of isolated POI with a BRCA2 variant in a consanguineous Turkish family.MethodsExome...
BackgroundPathogenic variants in the CDKN2A gene are generally associated with the development of melanoma and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), but specific genotype-phenotype correlations might exist and the extent of PDAC risk is not well established for many variants.MethodsUsing the Dutch national familial melanoma database, we identified all families with a pathogenic CDKN2A variant and investigated the occurrence of PDAC within these families. We also estimated the standardised incidence...

In a recent article in Medical Humanities, Sharpe and Greco characterise myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) as an ‘illness without disease’, citing the absence of identified diagnostic markers. They attribute patients’ rejection of psychological and behavioural interventions, such as cognitive–behavioural therapy (CBT) and graded exercise therapy (GET), to a ‘paradox’ resulting from a supposed failure to acknowledge that ‘there is no good objective evidence of bodily disease’....

ObjectivePatient ownership of disease is vital in rare diseases like primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). This survey of UK members of the PBC foundation aimed to assess patients’ perception of their disease management, focusing on key biomarkers and problematic symptoms.DesignRegistered PBC foundation members were surveyed on their experiences on their most recent clinic visit, covering the type of hospital and clinician and whether biochemical response and symptom burden were discussed, including...
ObjectiveTo determine if age is a factor in a patients’ likelihood of breaching the 4 hour time target to admission/discharge in emergency departments (EDs) within NHS Scotland.MethodsWe used data from the Information Service Division Scotland to analyse all ED attendances in Scotland between January 2015 and September 2018 (n=5 596 642). We assessed the likelihood of time to admission/discharge being within 4 hours, 8 hours and 12 hours for all age categories (reference category 20 to 24 years)....
Given the high risk of healthcare worker (HCW) infection with COVID-19 during aerosol-generating medical procedures, the use of a box barrier during intubation for protection of HCWs has been examined. Previous simulation work has demonstrated its efficacy in protecting HCWs from cough-expelled droplets. Our objective was to assess its ability to protect HCWs against aerosols generated during aerosol-generating medical procedures. We used a battery-powered vapouriser to assess movement of vapour...

This Viewpoint proposes a policy framework for reopening of US primary, middle, and high schools (kindergarten through 12th grade) in fall 2020, including ramping up community public health responses in the summer, symptom screening of students, and privileging return-to-school decisions for younger children and others at risk for education disparities.
In the context of potential aerosol spread of SARS-CoV-2 infection, this Viewpoint argues for use of upper-room germicidal UV (GUV) fixtures as a means to disinfect circulating air and prevent spread of COVID-19 and other infections in health care settings.
