Acute Immunological Profile and Prognostic Biomarkers of Persistent Joint Pain in Chikungunya Fever: A Systematic Review.

Chikungunya virus infection (CHIKV) increases the risk of persistent arthralgia; however, there is no consistent evidence regarding prognostic biomarkers of progression to chronic arthropathy. This systematic review provides an overview of currently available literature about the potential role of the acute immunologic response in predicting long-term joint pain in patients with a diagnosis of CHIKV. We searched for observational studies using the terms "chikungunya," "cytokines," "biomarkers," and "joint pain" in PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, Cochrane Library Plus, and SCOPUS databases, restricting to articles published in English and up to April 2024.

Association between in situ ventilation and human-generated aerosol exposure in meatpacking plants during the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, meatpacking workers were disproportionately affected by disease. Large outbreaks at meatpacking facilities resulted in loss of life and threatened the well-being of workers across the globe. Much work was done throughout the pandemic to understand and prevent these outbreaks.

Communication Training within : Feasibility, Acceptability, and Usability.

is a consultation model adapted from Conjoint Behavioral Consultation where parents and teachers identify a mutual concern for children with Autism and then implement the same evidence-based practices (EBPs) across home and school. Adding parent-teacher communication training () may bolster the effects of this consultation approach. The purpose of this study was to explore parents' and teachers' experiences with , as well as examine the clinical outcomes of plus Participants were 21 parents and 21 teachers (n=21 dyads, N=42 participants) of preschool to first-grade children with Autism.

Circulating neutrophil extracellular trap-forming neutrophils in rheumatoid arthritis exacerbation are majority dual endothelin-1/signal peptide receptor+ subtype.

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are associated with rheumatoid arthritis pathogenesis and severity. Since homeostatic NET-forming neutrophils [NET+Ns] have beneficial roles in defense against pathogens, their distinction from pro-injury [NET+N] subtypes is important, especially if they are to be therapeutically targeted. Having identified circulating, pro-injury DEspR+CD11b+[NET+Ns] in patients with neutrophilic secondary tissue injury, we determined whether DEspR+[NET+Ns] are present in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) flares.
