The discovery of broadly protective antibodies to the influenza virus neuraminidase (NA) has raised interest in NA as a vaccine target. However, recombinant, solubilized tetrameric NA ectodomains are often challenging to express and isolate, hindering the study of anti-NA humoral responses. To address this obstacle, we established a panel of 22 non-adherent cell lines stably expressing native, historical N1, N2, N3, N9, and NB NAs anchored on the cell surface.

Article Synopsis
  • Social determinants of health (SDOH), like community race, income, and education, significantly affect outcomes in pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (POHCA).
  • Analysis of data from over 27,000 POHCAs revealed that communities with lower minority populations, higher wealth, and better education had notably better rates of bystander CPR, AED use, and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).
  • The findings highlight the opportunity for public health interventions aimed at reducing health disparities linked to community SDOH to improve POHCA outcomes.

The demand for direct-to-patient (DTP) telegenetics (genetics services delivered via videoconferencing) in genetic counseling practice has rapidly increased, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic. Recent telegenetics literature is mostly quantitative and not in the Australian context. A qualitative interview study was conducted to address this gap.

The electronic properties of moiré heterostructures depend sensitively on the relative orientation between layers of the stack. For example, near-magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) commonly shows superconductivity, yet a TBG sample with one of the graphene layers rotationally aligned to a hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) cladding layer provided experimental observation of orbital ferromagnetism. To create samples with aligned graphene/hBN, researchers often align edges of exfoliated flakes that appear straight in optical micrographs.

Objectives: Benzodiazepines are the primary antiseizure medication used by Emergency Medical Services (EMS) for seizures. Available literature in the United States and internationally shows 30% to 40% of seizures do not terminate with benzodiazepines called benzodiazepine refractory status epilepticus (BRSE). Ketamine is a potential treatment for BRSE due to its unique pharmacology.
