We investigated the basic characteristics of a new murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) vector platform. Using BAC technology, we engineered replication-competent recombinant MCMVs with deletions of up to 26% of the wild-type genome. To this end, we targeted five gene blocks (m01-m17, m106-m109, m129-m141, m144-m158, and m159-m170).

Article Synopsis
  • Digital health literacy (DHL) refers to the skills needed to effectively find, understand, evaluate, and apply health-related information online, essential for navigating today's complex digital health environments.
  • The study involved twenty participants, categorized as experts and novices, who completed a search task. Researchers collected various data types, including surveys and video recordings, and used these to develop coding systems for analysis.
  • The results were analyzed using techniques like Epistemic Network Analysis to explore how participants interacted with online content, aiming to identify best practices for improving digital health literacy through targeted interventions.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated two methods for analyzing vascular density in OCTA images: the established Mexican hat filtering (MHF) and the novel Shanbhag thresholding (ST), using images from 38 healthy subjects.
  • MHF generally produced higher values for Skeleton Density (SkD) and Vessel Density (VD), while ST showed significantly higher results for Vessel Diameter Index (VDI).
  • Both methods had similar noise level reduction but yielded inconsistent results overall, prompting the need for careful consideration of the chosen analysis technique in clinical applications.

Background: Dialysis access complications and failure requiring revision are common. Understanding which methods of revision yield the optimal patency rates and lowest complications remain in evolution. Revision of native vessels is preferred, with revision using expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) graft as an alternative.

Background: Emerging data and case reports have found coagulation abnormalities and thrombosis as sequelae of infection with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). Case reports have reported thrombotic complications caused by COVID-19-related coagulopathy leading to limb loss. Alarmingly, many of these patients had no underlying vascular disease prior to being infected with COVID-19.
