Pathogenesis and autoimmunity initiated by a viral protein-induced apoptotic bodies
2016
Ihmisen parvovirus B19 (B19) on laajalle levinnyt, yleinen virus, joka aiheuttaa lapsissa parvorokkoa (viides tauti). Aikuisille B19 aiheuttaa erinäisiä sairauksia, muun muassa nivelkipuja ja – tulehdusta, anemiaa, sekä raskaana oleville sikiöpöhöä. Lisäksi B19 infektio saattaa johtaa autoimmuunisairauksiin, kuten punahukkaan (systemic lupus erythematosus, SLE), nivelreumaan ja sydänlihastulehdukseen. Toisaalta infektio voi olla myös täysin oireeton. Mekanismit, jotka johtavat B19 tartunnasta autoimmuunisairauteen, ovat vielä tuntemattomia. Kuitenkin tiedetään, että B19:n ei-rakenteellinen proteiini NS1 on soluille tuhoisa ja aiheuttaa niiden kuoleman (apoptoosin) muodostaen solunjäännösten…
Spouses’ Experiences of Rehabilitees’ Burnout and Recovery
2021
The role of family members’ support in the burnout recovery process has been recognized in several studies. The role of emotional support provided by the spouse has been found to be significant in reducing burnout levels. Although crossover of burnout and emotional support have been investigated, the partners’ experiences of the individuals’ burnout and recovery have remained largely unexplored. To fill this research gap the study aims to provide in-depth knowledge of the experiences of spouses of individuals who have a history of burnout and are recovering from it by participating in a rehabilitation course. Ten spouses of individuals who had previously suffered and had recovered or was re…
Questing abundance of adult taiga ticks Ixodes persulcatus and their Borrelia prevalence at the north-western part of their distribution
2020
Background Because ixodid ticks are vectors of zoonotic pathogens, including Borrelia, information of their abundance, seasonal variation in questing behaviour and pathogen prevalence is important for human health. As ticks are invading new areas northwards, information from these new areas are needed. Taiga tick (Ixodes persulcatus) populations have been recently found at Bothnian Bay, Finland. We assessed seasonal variation in questing abundance of ticks and their pathogen prevalence in coastal deciduous forests near the city of Oulu (latitudes 64–65°) in 2019. Methods We sampled ticks from May until September by cloth dragging 100 meters once a month at eight study sites. We calculated a…
Global Real-World Evidence of Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir as a Highly Effective Treatment and Elimination Tool in People with Hepatitis C Infection Experi…
2022
HCV elimination; Mental health disorders; Sofosbuvir/velpatasvir Eliminación del VHC; Trastornos de salud mental; Sofosbuvir/velpatasvir Eliminació del VHC; Trastorns de salut mental; Sofosbuvir/velpatasvir Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is prevalent in people with mental health disorders, a priority population to diagnose and cure in order to achieve HCV elimination. This integrated analysis pooled data from 20 cohorts in seven countries to evaluate the real-world effectiveness of the pangenotypic direct-acting antiviral (DAA) sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) in people with mental health disorders. HCV-infected patients diagnosed with mental health disorders who were treated with SOF/VEL for 12 w…
Evaluating fundamental life-history traits for Tobacco etch potyvirus
2013
Los virus de ARN son probablemente algunos de los parásitos más extendidos que se pueden encontrar en todas las formas de vida. Estos agentes infecciosos parecen particularmente propensos a causar enfermedades emergentes en plantas, seres humanos y otros animales. Sus habilidades para escapar al sistema inmune, evadir estrategias antivirales o para infectar a nuevas especies son una consecuencia directa de su enorme capacidad para evolucionar rápidamente. Comprender los procesos básicos del cambio evolutivo puede ser unos de los principales pasos necesarios en el diseño de nuevas estrategias de intervención. Desde una perspectiva evolutiva, una de las principales características de los viru…
La desheredación del menor de edad
2021
This work aims to answer the eternal question of the disinheritance of the child under legal age. To this end, we will approach the institute of disinheritance, its foundation and its jurisprudential evolution. We will also address the capacity and responsibility of the child under legal age and the emancipated minor. Subsequently, we will carry out the study of the disinheritance of the child under legal age, subject to the whim of the specific disinherited causes, since each of the causes provided for in art. 853 Spanish Civil Code are endowed with their own idiosyncrasy, being very complicated, if not impossible, to deal with the subject of this work apart from the vicissitudes that can …
Clinical Onset and Multiple Sclerosis Relapse after SARS-CoV-2 Infection
2021
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been associated with several neurological disorders including headache, facial palsy, encephalitis, stroke, demyelinating disorders. The present report will discuss cases of multiple sclerosis (MS) onset and relapse both beginning early after SARS-CoV-2 infection. In both cases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed widespread bilateral subcortical and periventricular active lesions. Serum IgG against SARS-CoV-2 Spike antigens confirmed seroconversion with titers that are considered not definitely protective against possible reinfection. We hypothesize that SARS-CoV-2 infection, as previously reported for other vir…
Expert Opinion on Three Phage Therapy Related Topics: Bacterial Phage Resistance, Phage Training and Prophages in Bacterial Production Strain
2018
Phage therapy is increasingly put forward as a “new” potential tool in the fight against antibiotic resistant infections. During the “Centennial Celebration of Bacteriophage Research” conference in Tbilisi, Georgia on 26–29 June 2017, an international group of phage researchers committed to elaborate an expert opinion on three contentious phage therapy related issues that are hampering clinical progress in the field of phage therapy. This paper explores and discusses bacterial phage resistance, phage training and the presence of prophages in bacterial production strains while reviewing relevant research findings and experiences. Our purpose is to inform phage therapy stakeholders such as po…

La buona morte di Filippo iv e la proclamazione del suo successore. Un modello di comunicazione in età barocca
2021
Nella prima età moderna, l’importanza attribuita dalla società del tempo al rituale funebre ha portato l’attenzione degli studiosi sulle pratiche funerarie e sugli apparati effimeri commissionati agli artisti di corte, con il susseguirsi di numerosi studi che hanno analizzato il fenomeno sotto vari punti di vista, trovando spesso una contestualizzazione territoriale della produzione effimera, esaminando scrupolosamente le cerimonie funebri della monarchia spagnola: Il trattamento dei corpi, imbalsamazione, l’abito dei monarchi, il tipo di sepoltura, il corteo funebre, le cappelle ardenti o i modi di mostrare il dolore. Un impegno comune inizia ad apparire dalla serie di belle morti, che acc…
