4D-DIA Proteomics Uncovers New Insights into Host Salivary Response Following SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Infection.

Since late 2021, Omicron variants have dominated the epidemiological scenario as the most successful severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) sublineages, driving new and breakthrough infections globally over the past two years. In this study, we investigated for the first time the host salivary response of COVID-19 patients infected with Omicron variants (BA.1, BA.

Luminescent Thermometer Based on a Praseodymium(iii) Cyanide-Based Metal-Organic Framework.

Trivalent lanthanide ions have emerged as promising candidates for precise and remote temperature sensing. Among them, Pr-based luminescent thermometers remain underexplored, particularly those operating in the near-infrared (NIR) spectral region. This work presents the synthesis and thorough characterization of a novel Pr-based coordination polymer, {[PrPt(CN)(4,4'-bpyO)(HO)]·4HO} (), as a rare example of Pr luminescent thermometry.

Confirmatory validation of the transgender health care humanization scale.

Background: Despite the critical importance of humanized healthcare for transgender individuals, no existing measures specifically assess care humanization for this population. The Transgender Health Care Humanization Scale (THcH Scale) was developed to address this gap, yet it initially lacked confirmatory validation. This study validates the Transgender THcH scale for evaluating healthcare providers' sensitivity towards transgender patients.

RT-RPA as a dual tool for detection and phylogenetic analysis of epidemic arthritogenic alphaviruses.

Chikungunya (CHIKV), o'nyong-nyong (ONNV), and Mayaro (MAYV) viruses are transmitted by mosquitoes and known to cause a debilitating arthritogenic syndrome. These alphaviruses have emerged and re-emerged, leading to outbreaks in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, South America, and Africa. Despite their prevalence, there persists a critical gap in the availability of sensitive and virus-specific point-of-care (POC) diagnostics.

Efficacy and Safety of DRG/3TC for Prophylaxis of HIV Perinatal Transmission: A Pilot Study (PREGNANCY).

Background: The prevention of perinatal human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission depends on the safe and effective use of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Simplifying treatment reduces drug exposure for both mother and child. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of dolutegravir (DTG) plus lamivudine (3TC) for antiretroviral-naive pregnant women with HIV.
