The emergence of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) in eastern Australia in 2022 caused extensive reproductive disease in pigs and is a threat to public health. Groups of weaned piglets were experimentally infected with the Australian outbreak strain of JEV (genotype 4). All pigs challenged at 5 weeks of age were infected after an intradermal injection of 1 × 10 ( = 4) or 1 × 10 TCID/pig ( = 5).

- The study investigated how cohabitation status affects the success of a web-based weight loss intervention for cancer survivors and their partners, focusing on elements of social cognitive theory like self-efficacy and support.
- Results showed that the intervention positively influenced dietary support and reduced perceived barriers to diet and exercise for non-cohabitating partners, but these effects were not observed among cohabitating couples.
- The findings highlight the importance of social support from partners who do not live together, while also indicating that the dynamics of these relationships need further exploration.
Article Synopsis
- Patients with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) experience worse overall survival compared to non-IBC patients, despite similar treatment approaches.
- The study analyzed data from 38,390 women with stage III breast cancer, showing that IBC patients had lower pathologic complete response (pCR) rates (20.7% vs. 23.3% for non-IBC), and higher 5-year mortality for those achieving pCR (16.4% vs. 9.1%).
- The findings suggest that even when IBC patients achieve pCR, their survival outcomes remain poorer than those of non-IBC patients, indicating the need for more effective treatment strategies for IBC.
Traditionally, eosinophils have been linked to parasitic infections and pathological disease states. However, emerging literature has unveiled a more nuanced and intricate role for these cells, demonstrating their key functions in maintaining mucosal homeostasis. Eosinophils exhibit diverse phenotypes and exert multifaceted effects during infections, ranging from promoting pathogen persistence to triggering allergic reactions.
