Urgent Prevention of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): Chinese Eating and Mask-Wearing Cultures

Chinese people have a very good mask-wearing culture; it is normal to wear masks to protect their faces from wind and pollution. Thus, they easily accept the wearing of masks to prevent infectious diseases, as seen with the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in China today. However, Chinese people…

Role of Tie2, CD14, Angiopoietin as Angiogenetic Markers in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Complicating Hepatitis C Virus Infection

Background Identifying biomarkers for early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains quite challenging. In this study we aimed to estimate the number of TIE2-expressing monocytes (TEMs) cells, which display pro-tumoral activities and are defined as CD14+, TIE2+, and angiopoietin-2; and it…

Nutritional Care for Patients with Ebola Virus Disease in Ebola Treatment Units – Past and Current Experiences from Practitioners

Background In November 2014, the World health Organization (WHO), in collaboration with United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), and the World Food Programme, produced interim guidelines (iGL) on providing nutritional support to patients in Ebola treatment units (ETUs). They have been translated int…

Potential Impact of Aedes Albopictus (Skuse,1894), an Arbovirus and Nematode Vector, on Human Public Health

A review outlines the ecology and public health implications of Aedes albopictus as a vector of arboviruses and nematodes. Surveillance and control strategies are discussed.

Saccharomyces Kluyveri Fungemia in a Patient with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection

We report a case of a young woman with acquired immune deficiency syndrome admitted with fever and abdominal pain. Saccharomyces kluyveri was isolated in blood culture. She was successfully treated with fluconazole. This case demonstrates the pathogenicity of Saccharomyces Kluyveri in immunocompromi…

Is the Measles Virus Indeed Involved in Carcinogenesis? – Commentary

Objectives: An association between the measles virus and Hodgkin lymphoma has been disclosed by our laboratory in Beer-Sheva, starting in 2003. We question the refutation of our study and the absence of interest among experts. Methodology: It was based on immunohistochemistry with commercial, as wel…

Oncolytic Viruses: Can be Applicable Tools for Cancer Therapy?

A concise review of oncolytic virotherapy covering viral engineering, tumor selectivity, and immune modulation. It assesses preclinical and clinical progress and discusses combinations with immunotherapies to enhance antitumor effects.

Evidence for the Absence of La Crosse Virus, Rift Valley Fever Virus, and Bunyamwera Virus in Korean Domestic Pigs

A surveillance study reports no detection of targeted bunyaviruses in domestic pigs in Korea. Methods, sampling frame, and assay limits are described to contextualize interpretation and surveillance value.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Conjunctiva (Scc) and Human Immunodefisciency Virus (Hiv): What Reality in Ivory Coast Through 23 Cases?

Introduction: Squamous cell carcinomas of the conjunctiva (SCC) are rare neoplasia but have a high rate of increase and a high rate of mortality, especially when they occur in the context of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. The objective of this study was to establish an epidemiological…
