An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) is described. The assay is based on antiserum produced in rabbits against the group-specific (gs) antigen of REV which has a molecular weight of 30 kDa (p30). The p30 for immunisation was obtained by electro-elution from polyacrylamide gels after separation of purified REV by electrophoresis. Western blotting indicated that the antiserum produced was specific for p30 of REV. The double antibody sandwich ELISA developed using the rabbit anti-p30 was found to be specific for REV and highly efficient for the detection of REV in a variety of samples when compared with the indirect immunofluorescence assay. The smallest amount of REV detectable was 2,000 fluorescence forming units. Serum, vaginal/ cloacal swab samples and egg albumens obtained from experimentally infected REV-viraemic chickens were all consistently positive for the ¿?i-antigen of REV. Some serum samples from non-viraemic chickens, however, gave 'false positive' reactions in the ELISA. Albumens gave higher readings in ELISA than vaginal/cloacal swab samples and should therefore be the sample of choice for screening flocks for REV.

School of Public Health, University of Technology Sydney, Ultimo, NSW, 2007, Australia.
This review is to systematically explore the relationship between muscle dysfunction and diabetes in adults, and to examine the impact of glycemic variability on muscle health and the development of diabetes-related complications. The review was conducted using three databases: MEDLINE, Scopus, and EMBASE, targeting peer-reviewed journal articles written in English and published from January 2014 to September 2024. The methodological quality assessment of the eligible studies was conducted using Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklists.

Approximately 20% of paediatric and adolescent/young adult patients with renal tumours are diagnosed with non-Wilms tumour, a broad heterogeneous group of tumours that includes clear-cell sarcoma of the kidney, congenital mesoblastic nephroma, malignant rhabdoid tumour of the kidney, renal-cell carcinoma, renal medullary carcinoma and other rare histologies. The differential diagnosis of these tumours dates back many decades, when these pathologies were identified initially through clinicopathological observation of entities with outcomes that diverged from Wilms tumour, corroborated with immunohistochemistry and molecular cytogenetics and, subsequently, through next-generation sequencing. These advances enabled near-definitive recognition of different tumours and risk stratification of patients.

The psychological trauma following COVID-19 has been lengthy and fraught for some children and their families. The specific problems encountered by children rendered helpless and hopeless by watching others suffer, vicarious traumatisation, is explained in brief as it represents a central motif in clinical work in psychology. This paper will focus on what is known of the nature of psychological trauma in children and families with a focus on the individual clinical manifestations of personal significance.

Background: Securing a stable airway is a critical component in neonatal resuscitation. Compared to direct laryngoscopy, video laryngoscopy provides improved visualization of the glottis, potentially enhancing the success rate of intubation. This systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to assess and compare the efficacy and safety of video laryngoscopy versus direct laryngoscopy in neonatal intubation.
