Article Synopsis
- A study assessed a new ultrasound-based algorithm for determining when to remove pancreatic stents placed to prevent post-ERCP pancreatitis, aiming to minimize unnecessary X-ray imaging.
- Out of 88 patients, the ultrasound approach successfully reduced the need for X-rays by 74%, accurately visualizing stents in 81% of cases but with limited specificity.
- The authors recommend implementing the ultrasound algorithm with training for experienced personnel due to challenges with visualizing shorter stents.
Norovirus capsids are icosahedral particles composed of 90 dimers of the major capsid protein VP1. The C-terminus of the VP1 proteins forms a protruding (P)-domain, mediating receptor attachment, and providing a target for neutralizing antibodies. NMR and native mass spectrometry directly detect P-domain monomers in solution for murine (MNV) but not for human norovirus (HuNoV).

In human norovirus (HuNoV) infection, histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) play an essential but poorly understood role. For murine norovirus infection (MNV), sialylated glycolipids or glycoproteins appear to be important.
