Impact of Recombinant VSV-HIV Prime, DNA-Boost Vaccine Candidates on Immunogenicity and Viremia on SHIV-Infected Rhesus Macaques.

Currently, no effective vaccine to prevent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is available, and various platforms are being examined. The vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) vaccine vehicle can induce robust humoral and cell-mediated immune responses, making it a suitable candidate for the development of an HIV vaccine. Here, we analyze the protective immunological impacts of recombinant VSV vaccine vectors that express chimeric HIV Envelope proteins (Env) in rhesus macaques.

Inverse association between plasma chlordecone concentrations and progression of alcoholic liver fibrosis: the role of liver metabolism.

Background And Aims: Chlordecone is a persistent organochlorinated insecticide, extensively used in the French West Indies and has been contaminating the population for more than thirty years. Its potentiation effect on hepatotoxic agents has been demonstrated in animal models. We investigated the relationship between environmental exposure to chlordecone and the progression of liver fibrosis.

Association between cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration and survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest according: a first nationwide study in France.

Objective: Determining whether to pursue or terminate resuscitation efforts remains one of the biggest challenges of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). No ideal cut-off duration has been recommended and the association between CPR duration and survival is still unclear for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The aim of this study was to assess the association between CPR duration and 30-day survival after OHCA with favorable neurological outcomes according to initial rhythm.

Rhesus macaques show increased resistance to repeated SHIV intrarectal exposure following a heterologous regimen of rVSV vector vaccine expressing HIV antigen.

Despite the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pandemic continuing worldwide for 40 years, no vaccine to combat the disease has been licenced for use in at risk populations. Here, we describe a novel recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV) vector vaccine expressing modified HIV envelope glycoproteins and Ebola virus glycoprotein. Three heterologous immunizations successfully prevented infection by a different clade SHIV in 60% of non-human primates (NHPs).

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occurring at school in France: A nation-wide retrospective cohort study from the RéAC registry.

Aim: We sought to describe the characteristics of at-school out-of-hospital cardiac arrests cases, subsequent basic life support, as well as ultimate patient outcomes.

Methods: This was a nation-wide, multicentre, retrospective cohort study from the French national population-based RéAC out-of-hospital cardiac arrest registry (July 2011 - March 2023). We compared the characteristics and outcomes of cases occurring at schools vs.
