Genomic diversity of HPV6 and HPV11 in recurrent respiratory papillomatosis: Association with malignant transformation in the lungs and clinical outcomes.

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a rare, proliferative disease caused by human papillomavirus 6 (HPV6) and HPV11. RRP can occasionally spread and undergo malignant transformation. We analysed samples across time for five RRP patients with malignant transformation and four with highly recurrent, non-malignant RRP by applying high-throughput sequencing.

Two complete genomes recovered from inverted sinonasal papillomas in humans.

We communicate here two complete (HPV11) genomes recovered from one transitional and from one squamous inverted sinonasal papilloma, a rare proliferative disease in humans. Both genomes belong to the HPV11_A2 sublineage.

Influence of barium substitution on the physical, thermal, optical and luminescence properties of Sm-doped metaphosphate glasses for reddish orange light applications.

Our present study focuses on examining the thermal, structural and luminescent characteristics of sodium barium metaphosphate glasses doped with Sm. Glass samples with molar compositions (100 - )[(50PO)-(50-NaO)-(BaO)]-SmO, where = 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and = 0.3 and 1% were first synthesized by conventional melt quenching and later dehydroxylated under a constant N flow to ensure final glasses with a very high degree of chemical and optical homogeneity and free of water.

Magnetocaloric effect and critical behavior of the LaCaNaMnO compound.

In this paper, we have studied the critical behavior and the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) simulation for the LaCaNaMnO (LCNMO) compound at the second order ferromagnetic-paramagnetic phase transition. The optimized critical exponents, based on the Kouvel-Fisher method, were found to be: = 0.48 and = 1.

Occurrence of virulence genes and methicillin-resistance in Staphylococcus aureus isolates causing subclinical bovine mastitis in Tiaret area, Algeria.

Mastitis remains the most frequent and the most expensive disease of dairy breeding. The objective of the study was to study S. aureus isolates collected from subclinical bovine mastitis in the Tiaret region, Algeria, by determining their antimicrobial susceptibility and their virulence traits.
