Dengue virus (DENV) causes the most prevalent and rapidly spreading arboviral disease of humans. It enters human cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis. Numerous cell-surface proteins were proposed as DENV entry factors.

Article Synopsis
- Retropharyngeal carotid artery occlusive disease is challenging for surgeons due to its difficult location and higher risk of complications.
- Traditional treatments like open revascularization and transfemoral stenting have limitations in effectiveness.
- Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) is presented as a safer alternative, combining surgical and endovascular techniques, with a case study of an elderly patient demonstrating its effectiveness.
Objective: Popliteal access as an alternative to conventional femoral access has not been reported in the office-based catheter laboratory setting (OBL) and may be perceived to have higher risks. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of popliteal access for the endovascular treatment of iliofemoral arterial occlusive disease in an OBL setting.
Methods: From October 2018 to October 2023, a total of 1408 interventions for peripheral artery disease were performed in our OBL.
Article Synopsis
- Despite the development of COVID-19 vaccines, there are concerns regarding their safety and effectiveness, particularly in inducing mucosal immunity.
- The study investigates a new vaccine component by combining the nucleocapsid (N) protein from the Delta variant with a synthetic adjuvant, ODN-39M, and tests its effects in Balb/C mice.
- Results show that intranasal administration of this combination generates a strong immune response, producing IgA in the lungs and neutralizing antibodies, making it a promising candidate for a more effective intranasal vaccine against various Sarbecoviruses.
The Dengue virus complex (DENV), formed by four serotypes, constitutes the most important arbovirus affecting humans. The structural domain III of their envelope protein (DIII) elicits strongly neutralizing serotype-specific antibodies. Contrasting results have been obtained regarding their role in the serum neutralizing activity of infected patients.
