Three modes of viral adaption by the heart.

Viruses elicit long-term adaptive responses in the tissues they infect. Understanding viral adaptions in humans is difficult in organs such as the heart, where primary infected material is not routinely collected. In search of asymptomatic infections with accompanying host adaptions, we mined for cardio-pathogenic viruses in the unaligned reads of nearly 1000 human hearts profiled by RNA sequencing.

Three Modes of Viral Adaption by the Heart.

Viruses elicit long-term adaptive responses in the tissues they infect. Understanding viral adaptions in humans is difficult in organs such as the heart, where primary infected material is not routinely collected. In search of asymptomatic infections with accompanying host adaptions, we mined for cardio-pathogenic viruses in the unaligned reads of nearly one thousand human hearts profiled by RNA sequencing.

Data blind: Universities lag in capturing and exploiting data.

Study finds a pervasive void of infrastructure thinking.

Case Report: Asymptomatic Skew Deviation Secondary to Chronic Ischemic Infarction of the Cerebellum.

Significance: Skew deviation is likely encountered clinically more often than previously thought. Cerebellar causes of skew deviation appear to be the rarest cause and should be considered by clinicians when encountering patients with findings consistent with skew deviation.

Purpose: This case report describes an undiagnosed, asymptomatic skew deviation in an established glaucoma patient returning for routine follow-up.
