Epidemiological, Clinical, and Genomic Traits of PIV in Hospitalized Children After the COVID-19 Pandemic in Wuhan, China.

Human parainfluenza virus (PIV) is a main cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRTIs), which contributes to childrens' mortality worldwide; however, the epidemiology of PIVs following the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is still not clarified, and poses risks of potential outbreaks. Herein, we conducted a retrospective observational study from September 26, 2020 to September 30, 2023 to assess PIV epidemiology in Wuhan, China, as well as the clinical characteristics of PIV infections. In total, 14,065 inpatients with ALRTIs were enrolled, of which 936 were identified to have PIV infection.

Comparative study of SARS-CoV-2 antibody titers between male and female COVID-19 patients living in Kurdistan region of Iraq.

Recently, there is increasing evidence that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes men to experience more serious symptoms and have a higher mortality rate than women, but the association between sex and immune response stays unknown till now, and weather patient's prognosis associated with sex or not is another vague in COVID-19. In this study, the SARS-CoV-2-specific antibody titer test was performed for 727 patients who were a positive RT-PCR result for COVID-19 and we determined the difference in immune response in both genders. Patients were divided into two groups based on their genders, which were 383 males and 344 females.

The role of oxidative stress and haematological parameters in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis in Kurdish population.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS), as a neurodegenerative disorder, exhibits inflammation and oxidative stress hallmarks.

Objective: The research aims to know any disturbances in haematological parameters and antioxidant system of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients in the Kurdish population.

Methods: A case-control research meeting following the McDonald criterion was conducted on 100 RRMS patients and 100 controls.

Immunoinformatics and molecular docking studies reveal potential epitope-based peptide vaccine against DENV-NS3 protein.

Dengue, still a "Neglected Tropical Disease" is somehow injustice and remains uncontrolled globally. World Health Organization (2012-2020) reported that the world's half population is living in dengue-affected regions. Therefore, effective drug candidates or promising vaccines are urgently needed to control the dengue.
