Evaluation of waning of IgG antibody responses after rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP and Ad26.ZEBOV, MVA-BN-Filo Ebola virus disease vaccines: a modelling study from the PREVAC randomized trial.
Emerg Microbes Infect
December 2025
rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP and Ad26.ZEBOV, MVA-BN-Filo are WHO-prequalified vaccination regimens against Ebola virus disease (EVD). Challenges associated with measuring long-term clinical protection warrant the evaluation of immune response kinetics after vaccination.

- High compliance with enhanced recovery programs (ERP) is correlated with better healthcare outcomes, specifically in liver surgery (LS) patients.
- A study analyzed 706 LS patients and found that those with over 70% ERP compliance had significantly higher rates of achieving textbook outcomes (TO) compared to those with lower compliance.
- Key factors negatively affecting TO achievement included having cholangiocarcinoma, undergoing high complexity LS, experiencing intraoperative hypotension, and suffering from postoperative ileus.
Objectives: Periprosthetic femur fractures after total knee arthroplasty in older adults are mostly treated by internal fixation. Members of the GETRAUM (French Orthopedic Trauma Society) sought to compare two surgical techniques - conventional open surgery and minimally invasive surgery - with the aim of analyzing the patients' functional recovery. We hypothesized that a minimally invasive technique would produce better early functional outcomes with recovery of independence.

- A study was conducted to analyze the impact of Enhanced Recovery Programs (ERPs) on patients undergoing liver surgery in a designated reference center.
- Researchers compared data from 75 patients treated after implementing the ERP to 75 patients treated before, focusing on hospital stay length, complications, and protocol adherence.
- The results showed a significant decrease in hospital stay duration (3 vs. 4 days) and postoperative complications (24% vs. 45.3%), mainly due to a reduction in minor issues like postoperative ileus, alongside improved adherence to recovery protocols.
Clinical and functional outcomes of 405 Achilles tendon ruptures after a minimum follow-up of 1 year.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to compare the outcomes of surgical versus conservative treatments for acute Achilles tendon ruptures, focusing on complications, functional outcomes, and clinical results after at least one year of follow-up.
- Researchers conducted a retrospective analysis involving 405 patients treated in France between 2018 and 2019, gathering data on demographics, treatment methods, rehabilitation, and various clinical tests.
- The results showed that while rerupture rates were similar between both groups, conservative treatment had a higher overall complication rate, while certain functional outcomes favored surgical treatment.
