This study represents a prospective, multicenter, open-label study to assess the safety, performance, and outcomes of poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB, Phasix™) mesh for primary ventral, primary incisional, or multiply-recurrent hernia in subjects at risk for complications. This study reports 3-year clinical outcomes. P4HB mesh was implanted in 121 pat...

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a causative pathogen of PRRS, one of the most economically disastrous swine diseases. Non-structural protein 1 (NSP1) of PRRSV consists of NSP1α and NSP1β which exhibit papain like cysteine protease activity. Recent evidence demonstrates that PRRSV NSP1 may be participated in modulating...

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
Viruses engineered to express fluorescent proteins can be used with live-cell imaging techniques to monitor the progression of infection in real time. Here we describe a set of methods to track infection spreading from one cell population to another as well as to visualize transfer of virions between cells. This approach is extended to multiplexing...

Since its appearance in December 2019, the SARS-CoV-2 infection spread rapidly to the whole world. About 80 % of COVID-19 patients have mild to moderate symptoms, 20 % develop severe respiratory symptoms, and about 6 % may require mechanical ventilation. In the absence of clinically proven treatment guidelines, several well-known drugs began to be ...

Crops are often subject to intense attacks by pests and diseases. Among them, Maize Lethal Necrosis (MLN) is a serious disease that impact maize crops in many Southern countries. It results from the synergistic interaction of two plant viruses, transmitted by two vectors. In this paper, we develop a general deterministic epidemic model of crop-vect...

Abstract Acute cardiac injury is associated with higher mortality in patients with the novel coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) and the exact etiology can be challenging to diagnose in the emergency setting during the pandemic. From a pathophysiological perspective, SARS-CoV-2 infection is characterized by an overproduction of inflammatory cytokin...

Infection is an under-recognised but important complication in people with diabetes. Studies on temporal trends in incidence of infection in this population are limited. We report the trends in infection-related hospitalisation in people with diabetes and compared hospitalisation rates between people with and without diabetes in Hong Kong. Hospital...

The re-infection rate of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) after two stage revision (15%) remains high as it can be challenging to determine whether the infection has been fully cleared between the first and second stage procedures. Temporary embedded sensor systems could be a potential solution to indicate whether the infection has been cleared. In th...

The most effective measure to prevent or stop the spread of infectious diseases is the early identification and isolation of infected individuals through comprehensive screening. At present, in the COVID-19 pandemic, such screening is often limited to isolated regions as determined by local governments. Screening of potentially infectious individua...

We document two cases of viremic and prolonged active infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) where the viral genome was conserved for two months, but infection was with little or no symptoms. The first infection persisted for 80 days and the second for 62 days. Clearance of infection occurred 40 and 41 days,...
