Novel SARS-COV2 poly epitope phage-based candidate vaccine and its immunogenicity.

Background And Purpose: The global emergence of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has prompted widespread concern. Bacteriophages have recently gained attention as a cost-effective and stable alternative for vaccine development due to their adjuvant properties. This study aimed to design and validate a poly epitope composed of viral proteins.

Anticoagulant and antiplatelet treatment effects on the incidence of major cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery ectasia: An updated systematic review.

Introduction: Coronary artery ectasia (CAE), widenings in sections of the arteries, is a rare condition found in up to 3-5% of angiography cases. Sometimes recurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) has been reported in the CAE subjects. The present systematic review aims to collect and summarize reports on whether the use of anticoagulants in addition to single antiplatelet/dual antiplatelet therapy (SAPT/DAPT) in CAE patients with significant occlusion/heavy thrombus is efficient and safe in decreasing the incidence/recurrence of MACE.

Various techniques for transcatheter retrieval of the atrial septal defect or patent foramen ovale closure devices: a systematic review.

Atrial septal abnormalities are common congenital lesions that remain asymptomatic in many patients until adulthood. Adults with atrial septal defects (ASD) most commonly have ostium secundum ASD. Transcatheter closure has become increasingly popular in recent years as a successful alternative method to surgery for treating ASD and patent foramen ovale (PFO).

Type 1 early infantile epileptic encephalopathy: A case report and literature review.

Background: Variants in the Aristaless-related homeobox (ARX) gene lead to a variety of phenotypes, with intellectual disability being a steady feature. Other features can include severe epilepsy, spasticity, movement disorders, hydranencephaly, and ambiguous genitalia in males. X-linked Ohtahara syndrome or Type 1 early infantile epileptic encephalopathy (EIEE1) is a severe early-onset epileptic encephalopathy with arrested psychomotor development caused by hemizygous mutations in the ARX gene, which encodes a transcription factor in fundamental brain developmental processes.

The potential therapeutic impacts of trehalose on cardiovascular diseases as the environmental-influenced disorders: An overview of contemporary findings.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) as environmental-influenced disorders, are a major concern and the leading cause of death worldwide. A range of therapeutic approaches has been proposed, including conventional and novel methods. Natural compounds offer a promising alternative for CVD treatment due to their ability to regulate molecular pathways with minimal adverse effects.

Viewpoints on the Role of Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin Channels in Cardiovascular System and Disease: A Systematic Review.

Transient receptor potential (TRP) family play critical roles in cardiovascular system. TRPM family as largest TRP subfamily is non-voltage Ca2+-activated selective channels which has 8 members. This study aimed to discuss the role of TRPM family in cardiovascular system and diseases.

Modulatory Effect of Probiotics on Proinflammatory Cytokine Levels in Acrylamide-Treated Rats.

The aims of this study are to investigate the effect of acrylamide on the level of proinflammatory cytokines in the blood of acrylamide-treated rats and to find the modulatory impact of probiotics on those cytokines. Thirty-two rats were divided into four groups: rats which received 20 mg acrylamide, acrylamide with 20 mg probiotics, acrylamide with 200 mg probiotics, and standard water and food (groups 1-4, respectively). The serum levels of cytokines were measured on days 0, 15, and 30.

Comparison of Immune Response between SARS, MERS, and COVID-19 Infection, Perspective on Vaccine Design and Development.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), and Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infections are the three epidemiological diseases caused by the Coronaviridae family. Perceiving the immune responses in these infections and the escape of viruses could help us design drugs and vaccines for confronting these infections. This review investigates the innate and adaptive immune responses reported in the infections of the three coronaviruses SARS, MERS, and COVID-19.
