Inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV), available since 1955, became the first vaccine to be used to protect against poliomyelitis. While the immunogenicity of IPV to prevent paralytic poliomyelitis continues to be irrefutable, its requirement for strong containment (due to large quantities of live virus used in the manufacturing process), perceived lack of ability to induce intestinal mucosal immunity, high cost and increased complexity to administer compared to oral polio vaccine (OPV), have limited its use in the global efforts to eradicate poliomyelitis...

Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a chronic neglected fungal disease, usually met in tropical areas. French Guiana is a South American territory with limited epidemiological data. This retrospective study concerned all patients with CBM proven by at least one paraclinical examination and diagnosed in French Guiana between 1950 and 2023. In total, 23 patients were included, mostly males (87%) of Creole origin, living in the coastal region (87%) and involved in outdoor occupations (74%). Lesions were mostly observed on the lower limbs (78...

Statistically significant increases in ischemic heart disease (IHD) mortality with cumulative occupational external radiation dose were observed in the National Registry for Radiation Workers (NRRW) cohort. There were 174541 subjects in the NRRW cohort. The start of follow up was 1955, and the end of the follow-up for each worker was chosen as the earliest date of death or emigration, their 85th birthday or December 31, 2011. The dose-response relationship showed a downward curvature at a higher dose level > 0...

BACKGROUND: At present, individualized interventions can be given to patients with a clear etiology of pregnancy loss to improve the subsequent pregnancy outcomes, but the current reproductive status of the patient cannot be changed. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between female reproductive status and subsequence pregnancy outcome in patients with prior pregnancy loss (PL). METHODS: A prospective, dynamic population cohort study was carried out at the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University...

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Lumbar disk degeneration is a common condition contributing significantly to back pain. The objective of the study was to evaluate the potential of dual-energy CT (DECT)-derived collagen maps for the assessment of lumbar disk degeneration. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 127 patients who underwent dual-source DECT and MRI of the lumbar spine between 07/2019 and 10/2022. The level of lumbar disk degeneration was categorized by three radiologists as follows: no/mild (Pfirrmann 1&2), moderate (Pfirrmann 3&4), and severe (Pfirrmann 5)...

During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, outbreaks of parainfluenza virus type 3 (PIV-3) decreased due to infection control measures. However, a post-pandemic resurgence of PIV-3 has recently been observed. Nonetheless, the role of viral genetic epidemiology, possibly influenced by a genetic bottleneck effect, remains unexplored. We investigated the phylogenetic structure of the publicly available PIV-3 whole-genome and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) gene sequences spanning the last 65 years, including the COVID-19 pandemic...

Ground temperatures in alpine terrain vary considerably over short distances, particularly due to differences in elevation and incoming short-wave radiation but also snow and surface conditions. To allow for direct cross-site, interregional, and cross-disciplinary comparisons, we introduce a parameter called the potential 0 °C isotherm (PZDI) in the ground. This parameter represents an aspect- and elevation independent geo-projection of ground temperatures. It was calculated for several ground temperature datasets from the (sub-)permafrost zone in the European Alps...

Experimental autoimmune neuritis is a common animal model for acute human immune-mediated polyneuropathies. Although already established in 1955, a number of pathophysiological mechanisms remain unknown. In this study, we extensively characterize experimental autoimmune neuritis progression in Lewis rats, including new insights into the integrity of small nerve fibres, neuropathic pain and macrophage activation. Acute experimental autoimmune neuritis was induced with P253-78 peptide and consequently investigated using the gait analysis system CatWalk XT, electrophysiological and histopathological analyses, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR), dorsal root ganglia outgrowth studies, as well as the von Frey hair and Hargreaves tests...

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder of the small arteries that causes ischemic vascular events, subcortical dementia, behavioral changes, and migraine-like headaches. It is caused by a mutation in the NOTCH3 gene; this disease was first described in 1955 by van Bogaert. We present a 29-year-old woman who presented to the neurology department. She has no history of chronic degenerative diseases. She has been complaining of migraine-like headaches for the past six months...

INTRODUCTION: Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is characterized by scarring alopecia of the frontotemporal scalp and facial papules. Isotretinoin is a vitamin A-derived retinoid discovered in 1955 and approved for treating nodulocystic acne. This drug can also affect facial papules and frontotemporal hair loss in patients with FFA. In this article, we conducted a review of the available studies investigating the use of oral isotretinoin for FFA treatment. Our study provides insights into the efficacy and safety of isotretinoin as a potential treatment option for FFA and highlights areas for future research...

BACKGROUND: Climate significantly influences the interaction between pathogens and their hosts, and this is particularly evident in the coffee industry, where fungal diseases like Cercospora coffeicola, causing brown eye spot, can drastically reduce yields. Our study focuses on forecasting coffee brown eye spot using various models that incorporate agrometeorological data, allowing for predictions at least one week prior to disease occurrence. Data was gathered from eight locations across São Paulo and Minas Gerais, encompassing the South and Cerrado regions of Minas Gerais State...
