Multiple infection dynamics has pronounced effects on the fitness of RNA viruses
2001
Several factors play a role during the replication and transmission of RNA viruses. First, as a consequence of their enormous mutation rate, complex mixtures of genomes are generated immediately after infection of a new host. Secondly, differences in growth and competition rates drive the selection of certain genetic variants within an infected host. Thirdly, but not less important, a random sampling occurs at the moment of viral infectious passage from an infected to a healthy host. In addition, the availability of hosts also influences the fate of a given viral genotype. When new hosts are scarce, different viral genotypes might infect the same host, adding an extra complexity to the comp…
QIM19-125: Nonclinical Needs of Cancer Patients in Spain Under Different Perspectives: A Comparative Study
2019
Background: Patients with cancer and their caregivers express unmet needs beyond the clinical approach to cancer. The ECO Foundation (Quality and Excellence in Oncology) and the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC) have promoted a qualitative research study with the objective to identify and compare the perceptions of newly diagnosed and 2–3 years after diagnosis cancer patients, caregivers, oncologists, nurses, and social workers in relation to a set of nonclinical needs expressed by cancer patients and caregivers, and to obtain concrete and feasible proposals for improvement aimed at satisfying these needs. Methods: A multidisciplinary group of experts developed a questionnaire about…
