How the New Chikungunya Virus Outbreak in China Could Reach the U.S.
A recent panel discussion on “The Promise of Quantum for Industry” at the annual IBM Quantum Summit homed in on several business challenges that quantum computers are well-suited to tackle and more.
First West NileFirst West Nile virus case reported in NJ – mosquitoes in NYC infected
In pediatrics, young patients may not be able to communicate the exact location and intensity of the pain they’re experiencing. With SPECT/CT the origin of pain becomes clearly visible, which can lead to more accurate diagnoses and surgical planning. Nuclear medicine physicians are learning how to share visual findings from SPECT/CT with referring orthopedic surgeons, resulting in improved collaboration and outcomes.
Zika Infection Increases Risk of Severe Dengue Fever
One of the leading companies in the sector warns that they tend to give false negatives in people with lower amounts of virus and point out that they are only reliable in those with high viral load
Does Prior Dengue Exposure Help or Hurt a Zika Infection?
One of the leading companies in the sector warns that they tend to give false negatives in people with lower amounts of virus and point out that they are only reliable in those with high viral load...
How Zika and Dengue Exploit the Mother-Child Relationship
In pediatrics, young patients may not be able to communicate the exact location and intensity of the pain they’re experiencing. With SPECT/CT the origin of pain becomes clearly visible, which can lead to more accurate diagnoses and surgical planning. Nuclear medicine physicians are learning how to share visual findings from SPECT/CT with referring orthopedic surgeons, resulting in improved collaboration and outcomes.
The Scientists Solve 50-year-old Mystery About Breakbone Fever
At its annual Quantum Summit in New York, IBM unveiled its quantum roadmap for both hardware and software through the next 10 years. It represents a continuation of the roadmaps they have presented but also promises a disruptive leap for 2024.
A Single Mutation in Zika Led to Devastating Effects
One amino acid change within a viral structural protein makes the difference between mild cases of brain damage and severe microcephaly in mice. Written by Anna Azvolinsky View original source ⮕ One mutation in the Zika virus is responsible for catastrophic consequences in its hosts. A sequence change resulting in one amino […]
Dengue Infection Impairs Immune Defense Against Zika
A memory B cell response to Zika virus in dengue-infected patients produced antibodies that were poorly neutralizing in vitro and instead enhanced infection. Written by Catherine Offord View original source ⮕ Previous exposure to dengue virus could dampen a patient’s immune response to Zika, and potentiallyeven aid infection, according to recent work […]
Getting dengue first may make Zika infection much worse
Cell, mice experiments reveal antibodies gone rogue By Aimee Cunningham View original source ⮕ Being immune to a virus is a good thing, until it’s not. That’s the lesson from a study that sought to understand the severity of the Zika outbreak in Brazil. Experiments in cells and mice suggest that a […]
Why Didn’t Zika Cause A Surge In Microcephaly In 2016?
By Michaeleen Doucleff View original source ⮕ Back in 2015, Brazil reported a horrific a surge in birth defects. Thousands of babies were born with brain damage and abnormally small heads, a condition called microcephaly. Scientists quickly concluded the Zika virus was the culprit. So when Zika returned last year during Brazil’s […]
