Importance: Patients with lung cancer have poor physical functioning and quality of life. Despite promising outcomes for those who undertake exercise programs, implementation into practice of previously tested hospital-based programs is rare.
Objective: To evaluate a home-based exercise and self-management program for patients after lung resection.
Objective: To determine the impact of persistent symptoms after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in an Australian population.
Design, Setting, Participants: We conducted a statewide health survey of a stratified random sample of adults who had had a confirmed acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection (COVID-19-positive group) and their close contacts (control group). The sample was drawn from Victoria's COVID-19 database between January 2020 and October 2022.
We used phage display, antibody engineering, and high-throughput assays to identify antibody-accessible targets of . We report the discovery of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) binding to type 3 fimbrial proteins, including MrkA. We found that anti-MrkA mAbs were cross-reactive to a diverse panel of clinical isolates, representing different O-serotypes.

- Endobronchial radiofrequency ablation (RFA) offers a minimally invasive treatment for patients with peripheral non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who cannot undergo surgery, with procedures guided by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
- The study analyzed data from ten patients who underwent bronchoscopic RFA, calculating their radiation exposure using PCXMC2.0 software and evaluating the amount of radiation received during CBCT imaging.
- Results showed that the average effective radiation dose was about 11.6 mSv, which is similar to radiation levels from other CT-guided procedures, highlighting the safety of this technique in managing NSCLC.
While parasites are likely to connect to multiple host plants in nature, parasitism dynamics under multiple association conditions remain unclear and are difficult to separate from competitive effects. In this study, a five-compartment split root-box was constructed to allow a single facultative root hemiparasite, Phtheirospermum japonicum, to connect to zero, one or two Medicago sativa hosts while maintaining constant plant number and independently controlling nutrient supply. In the first experiment, we found that P.
