A 4-hour Profile of 17-hydroxyprogesterone in Salt-wasting Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: Is the Serial Monitoring Strategy Worth the Effort?

Objective: Since there exists no gold standard laboratory variable for adjustment of treatment in congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), we aimed to assess the use of a 4-hour profile of serum 17-OHP to determine the most appropriate time and level of 17-OHP in predicting the metabolic control and evaluate the role of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) …

Selenoproteins via genetic code expansion in mammalian cells

Many open questions remain in the field of selenoprotein biology, including the functions of a number of uncharacterized human selenoproteins, and the properties of selenocysteine compared to its analogous amino acid cysteine. The mechanism of selenocysteine incorporation involves an intricate machinery that deviates from the mechanism of incorporation for the canonical 20 amino acids. As …

Conserved HA-peptide NG34 formulated in pCMV-CTLA4-Ig reduces viral shedding in pigs after a heterosubtypic influenza virus SwH3N2 challenge.

Conserved HA-peptide NG34 formulated in pCMV-CTLA4-Ig reduces viral shedding in pigs after a heterosubtypic influenza virus SwH3N2 challenge.

Swine influenza viruses (SIVs), the causal agents of swine influenza, are not only important to control due to the economic losses in the swine industry, but also can be pandemic pathogens. Vaccination is one of the most relevant strategies to control and prevent influenza infection. Current human vaccines against influenza induce strain-specific immunity and annual …

The impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions for 2009 H1N1 influenza on travel intentions: A model of goal-directed behavior.

The impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions for 2009 H1N1 influenza on travel intentions: A model of goal-directed behavior.

Theoretically, in the tourism context this study introduced a new concept of non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPI) for influenza, and tested the impact of NPI on the behavioral intention of potential international tourists. This study also extended the model of goal-directed behavior (MGB) by incorporating the new concepts of NPI, and the perception of 2009 H1N1. The …

Longitudinal changes of pneumonia complicating novel influenza A (H1N1) by high-resolution computed tomography.

Longitudinal changes of pneumonia complicating novel influenza A (H1N1) by high-resolution computed tomography.

To assess lung lesions in sufferers with pneumonia complicating novel influenza A (H1N1) by serial high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) throughout the early, progressive and convalescent phases.Serial HRCT scans in 39 sufferers with pneumonia complicating novel influenza A (H1N1) have been reviewed for predominant patterns of lung abnormalities in addition to distribution and extent of involvement. …
