Vectors based on hybrids consisting of adeno-associated virus types 2 (ITRs and Rep) and 5 (Cap) were evaluated for muscle-directed gene transfer (called AAV2/5). Evaluation in immune-competent mice revealed greater transduction efficacy with AAV2/5 than with AAV2 and no cross-neutralization between AAV2/5 and AAV2. Interestingly, we saw no immunologic evidence of previous exposure to AAV5 capsids in a large population of healthy human subjects.

Bats act as reservoirs for a variety of zoonotic viruses, sometimes leading to spillover into humans and potential risks of global transmission. Viral shedding from bats is an essential prerequisite to bat-to-human viral transmission and understanding the timing and intensity of viral shedding from bats is critical to mitigate spillover risks. However, there are limited investigations on bats' seasonal viral shedding patterns and their related risk factors.

Objective: This study aims to assess the performance of machine learning (ML) techniques in optimising nurse staffing and evaluating the appropriateness of nursing care delivery models in hospital wards. The primary outcome measures include the adequacy of nurse staffing and the appropriateness of the nursing care delivery system.
Background: Historical and current healthcare challenges, such as nurse shortages and increasing patient acuity, necessitate innovative approaches to nursing care delivery.

Aims: This study aims to conduct a bibliometric and visual analysis of published studies on myocarditis and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines.
Background: The widespread epidemic of COVID-19 has caused millions of deaths and profoundly affected the global medical landscape. Studies on COVID-19 vaccination and related myocarditis have also increased significantly.

This study aimed to evaluate the ability of the preoperative Hemoglobin, Albumin, Lymphocyte count, and Platelet (HALP) score to predict lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with rectal cancer (RC) and improve prediction accuracy by incorporating clinical parameters. Data from 263 patients with RC were analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the optimal cutoff value (OCV) for the HALP score in predicting LNM.

However, its potential distribution remains largely unknown, posing a challenge in developing effective phytosanitary strategies. We used an ensemble model of six machine-learning algorithms including random forest, maxent, support vector machines, classification and regression tree, generalized linear model and boosted regression trees to forecast the potential distribution of A.
