More than 100 human adenovirus (Ad) types were identified, of which species D comprises the largest group. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) were shown to function as cell surface receptors for cell binding and uptake of some Ads, but a systematic analysis of species D Ads is lacking. Previous research focused on Ad5 and blood coagulation factor X (FX) complexes, which revealed that Ad5 can transduce cells with low expression levels of its main coxsackievirus-adenovirus receptor in the presence of high HSPG expression levels in a FX dependent manner.

- The increasing consumption of wheat flour products, particularly instant noodles, in Asia highlights the need for fortification to enhance micronutrient intake in the region.
- A literature review analyzed studies on the effects of fortifying wheat flour used for instant noodles, focusing on nutrient retention, sensory evaluation, and bioavailability.
- Findings suggest that fortified wheat flour can improve nutrient levels in instant noodles, maintain most added nutrients during cooking, and cause little to no impact on taste, indicating a promising approach to enhance dietary nutrition in Asia.
Objective: Obesity-related electronic health record functions increase the rates of measuring Body Mass Index, diagnosing obesity, and providing obesity services. This study describes the prevalence of obesity-related electronic health record functions in clinical practice and analyzes characteristics associated with increased obesity-related electronic health record sophistication.
Methods: Data were analyzed from DocStyles, a web-based panel survey administered to 1507 primary care providers practicing in the United States in June, 2013.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the potential link between the Pandemrix® vaccine and narcolepsy in nearly 470,000 Norwegian children vaccinated during the 2009-2010 influenza pandemic.
- Out of the vaccinated group, 58 children were diagnosed with narcolepsy, with most symptoms appearing shortly after vaccination, including excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy, and many had low hypocretin levels in their cerebrospinal fluid.
- Findings indicated a significantly higher risk of developing narcolepsy with cataplexy within the first year post-vaccination, suggesting that the vaccine could contribute to at least 10 cases per 100,000 individuals annually during that time.
