Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the composition of salivary proteins relates to the onset and severity of oral mucositis (OM) in patients undergoing intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for head and neck cancer.
- A longitudinal analysis was conducted on 40 patients, comparing saliva samples and clinical data before and after treatment, revealing that a significant majority experienced OM, and several salivary proteins were linked to OM outcomes.
- The findings suggest a potential for using specific salivary proteins as biomarkers for OM, paving the way for personalized medicine approaches to enhance patients' quality of life.
Article Synopsis
- Skeletal muscle regeneration relies on migratory muscle stem cells (muSCs) that must respond appropriately to injury to generate muscle progenitor cells.* -
- The study utilized zebrafish to investigate how muSC migration, behavior, and fate are influenced by cell adhesion and environmental forces.* -
- Findings indicate that the RhoA kinase ROCK regulates muSC migration and differentiation, with impaired ROCK activity leading to altered cell behavior and muscle regeneration.*
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers analyzed the incidence rates of group A streptococcal infections and scarlet fever over different seasons using statistical methods to compare the impact of the vaccination program before and after its introduction.
- * Results showed significant reductions in infections among children aged 2-10 in areas where the vaccine was implemented, indicating that LAIV may lower the risk of
Background: The universal paediatric live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) programme commenced in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2013/2014. Since 2014/2015, all pre-school and primary school children in Scotland and Northern Ireland have been offered the vaccine. England and Wales incrementally introduced the programme with additional school age cohorts being vaccinated each season.
