Cell-mediated immunity towards tumour antigens (cytosols) of the same histotype and site was evaluated by means of the LMI test in long survivors after surgical resection of adenocarcinoma of the colon, infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the breast, and squamous-cell carcinoma of the lung. A positive migration index (MI less than 85.0) was observed in 17/65 (26.2%) colon survivors, 7/18 (38.9%) breast survivors, and 1/19 (5.3%) lung survivors. 24.5% of all long survivors displayed an immunological memory of the antigen to which they had been exposed.

Background: Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a complex form of dysautonomia that presents with abnormal autonomic reflexes upon standing, leading to symptoms such as lightheadedness, tachycardia, fatigue, and cognitive impairment. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought renewed attention to POTS due to its overlap with post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC). Studies have found that a substantial percentage of COVID-19 survivors exhibit symptoms resembling POTS, elevating POTS diagnoses to previously unseen levels.

Purpose: The study aimed to explore the relationship between intrinsic spirituality, emotion dysregulation, resilience, and PTSD in Turkish university students who were earthquake survivors. In addition, the validity and reliability of the Brief Emotion Dysregulation Scale (BEDS) were evaluated among Turkish university students who were earthquake survivors.
Methods: A sample of 651 Turkish university students who were earthquake survivors participated in an online survey distributed via WhatsApp, completing the Intrinsic Spirituality Scale (ISS), the Brief Emotion Dysregulation Scale (BEDS), the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), and the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-5.

Background: One of the devastating long-term outcomes of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) is its effect on sexual assertiveness, manifested by the limited ability to initiate desired sexual interactions, express one's sexuality, and refuse unwanted sexual activities.
Objective: This study examined a model in which the relation between CSA and sexual assertiveness was mediated by survivors' subjective experience of their sexuality, as reflected by their subjective experience of sexual fantasy.
Participants And Setting: Three-hundred-and-sixty-three adults participated in this longitudinal study.

Unlabelled: Post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 involves several organs, but its basis remains poorly understood. Some infected cells in mice survive the acute infection and persist for extended periods in the respiratory tract but not in other tissues. Here, we describe two experimental models of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection to assess the effect of viral virulence on previously infected cells.
