While a live-attenuated Yellow fever (YF) vaccine is known to elicit durable immunity, antibody titers may wane after vaccination. This study evaluated the long-term immunity after vaccination against YF among individuals who reside in Korea and received vaccination with YF virus-17D prior to international travel. Serum was collected between December 2018 and December 2019 at the National Medical Center, Republic of Korea from YF vaccine recipients who were vaccinated more than five years prior to sample collection.

- Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a crucial role in cell communication and have potential applications in diagnosing and treating diseases, but there are significant challenges in isolating and characterizing them effectively for clinical use.
- Two isolation methods for EVs were compared: differential ultracentrifugation (dUC), which proved more efficient for exosome extraction, and membrane affinity, highlighting the need for high-quality analysis.
- The study emphasizes the importance of advanced analytical techniques like cryogenic electron microscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry for validating and understanding EV characteristics and functions.

Objectives: The primary purpose of this pilot study was to determine the feasibility and acceptability of a novel brief (six-session) motivational interviewing home-based intervention for hoarding disorder designed for rural older adults. The secondary aims were to examine the engagement of proposed mechanisms of change and the preliminary efficacy of symptom reduction.
Method: Fifteen rural-dwelling older adults were enrolled in the pilot trial for Project RECLAIM (duce utter nd ncrease eaning).
