Introduction: Treatment to restore anatomy, function, and aesthetics after trauma should involve as little surgical insult as possible. As such, repeated procedures may suggest failed initial management. To date, no predictive factors for failure of primary surgery have been identified.

Influenza A virus, a respiratory pathogen manipulates various host cellular processes to establish a successful infection in a host. We had reported earlier the interaction of influenza A virus nucleoprotein with host glycolytic enzymes; alpha enolase and pyruvate kinase in A549 cells. Matrix protein (M1), another multifunctional protein encoded by genome segment 7 forms the inner layer of the virion and interacts with the ribonucleoprotein complex.

Broad and potent neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) with multiple epitope specificities evolve in HIV-1-infected children. Herein, we studied two antiretroviral-naive chronically HIV-1 clade C-infected monozygotic pediatric twins, AIIMS_329 and AIIMS_330, with potent plasma bnAbs. Elite plasma neutralizing activity was observed since the initial sampling at 78 months of age in AIIMS_330 and persisted throughout, while in AIIMS_329 it was seen at 90 months of age, after which the potency decreased over time.

Influenza A virus nucleoprotein, is a multifunctional RNA-binding protein, encoded by segment-5 of the negative sense RNA genome. It serves as a key connector between the virus and the host during virus replication. It continuously shuttles between the cytoplasm and the nucleus interacting with various host cellular factors.
