Introduction And Objectives: Ischemic heart disease is the single most common cause of death in Europe. Mortality in patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with many factors, one of which is the time delay to treatment. The purpose of this work is to analyze the coronary pathway in our region in terms of timing, taking into consideration the place of first medical contact (FMC).

Objective: To report preliminary results of MP-TSCP in canine patients with glaucoma while evaluating sweep velocity, treatment efficacy, and safety utilizing standardized surgical parameters.

Animal Studied: Client-owned dogs that underwent MP-TSCP at a veterinary referral hospital.

Procedure: Medical records of 19 eyes (14 dogs) treated with MP-TSCP were reviewed.

Influenza A virus (IAV) employs multiple strategies to manipulate cellular mechanisms and support proper virion formation and propagation. In this study, we performed a detailed analysis of the interplay between IAV and the host cells' proteostasis throughout the entire infectious cycle. We reveal that IAV infection activates the inositol requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1) branch of the unfolded protein response, and that this activation is important for an efficient infection.

Article Synopsis
  • Study evaluates the long-term effects of endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) on glaucoma treatment in dogs from 2004 to 2023, analyzing records of 389 eyes across 301 dogs.
  • Long-term intraocular pressure (IOP) control was achieved in 90% of dogs at one year and 95% at two years, with a significant portion of patients maintaining some level of vision post-surgery.
  • Complications were noted, including corneal ulceration and retinal detachment, but the procedure was generally effective in managing glaucoma that didn't respond to medication.

It is now established that many viruses that threaten public health establish condensates via phase transitions to complete their lifecycles, and knowledge on such processes may offer new strategies for antiviral therapy. In the case of influenza A virus (IAV), liquid condensates known as viral inclusions, concentrate the 8 distinct viral ribonucleoproteins (vRNPs) that form IAV genome and are viewed as sites dedicated to the assembly of the 8-partite genomic complex. Despite not being delimited by host membranes, IAV liquid inclusions accumulate host membranes inside as a result of vRNP binding to the recycling endocytic marker Rab11a, a driver of the biogenesis of these structures.
