Oncolytic measles virus-induced cell killing in radio-resistant and drug-resistant nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Introduction: The current first-line therapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is often associated with long-term complications. Oncolytic measles virus (MV) therapy offers a promising alternative to cancer therapy. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of MV in killing NPC cells in vitro, both with or without resistance to radiation and drug therapy.

analysis of VEGF-mediated endothelial permeability and the potential therapeutic role of Anti-VEGF in severe dengue.

Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the proteins involved in dengue immunopathogenesis. It is overexpressed in severe dengue and contributes to vascular permeability and plasma leakage. In this study, we investigated the effects of VEGF and anti-VEGF treatments on endothelial cells to assess the potential use of anti-VEGF antibodies in managing severe dengue.

The positive impact of Streptococcus mutans on the growth of Candida albicans within mixed-species biofilms and implications to dental health.

Introduction: Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans co-exist in biofilms in the oral cavity. In this study, the impact of S. mutans on the growth of C.

Cardiac and Neurological Complications Post COVID-19 Vaccination: A Systematic Review of Case Reports and Case Series.

Following mass vaccinations for the control of the COVID-19 epidemic, a spectrum of cardiac and neurological disorders was reported among vaccinated individuals. This study examined the range of complications documented and factors related to their occurrence. Three electronic databases were searched for case reports and case series with descriptions of cardiac and/or neurological complications in COVID-19 vaccine recipients.
