Article Synopsis
- Human adenovirus (HAdV) outbreaks can lead to mild flu-like symptoms in healthy young adults, but severe cases can occur, as seen in a Fall 2022 outbreak at a university.
- The study identified 90 confirmed HAdV cases among students aged 17-26, with the majority experiencing mild illness, yet 7 students required hospitalization, highlighting a need for vigilance.
- The investigation revealed that many close contacts experienced symptoms but did not seek medical attention, indicating the actual number of infections could be higher than reported.
Background: Knowledge of the specific dynamics of influenza introduction and spread in university settings is limited.
Methods: Persons with acute respiratory illness symptoms received influenza testing by molecular assay during October 6-November 23, 2022. Viral sequencing and phylogenetic analysis were conducted on nasal swab samples from case-patients.
The phenotypic diversity of cancer results from genetic and nongenetic factors. Most studies of cancer heterogeneity have focused on DNA alterations, as technologies for proteomic measurements in clinical specimen are currently less advanced. Here, we used a multiplexed immunofluorescence staining platform to measure the expression of 27 proteins at the single-cell level in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded samples from treatment-naive stage II/III human breast cancer.
