Purpose: Responsiveness is defined as the ability of an instrument to accurately detect change when it has occurred and is an essential psychometric property of a patient-reported outcomes (PRO) measure to understand and interpret study findings. This study examined the responsiveness of 2 Treatment Related Impact Measures (TRIMs): The TRIM-Diabetes (TRIM-D) and TRIM-Diabetes Device (TRIM-DD) as well as confirmed their measurement models in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design.
Methods: The data were collected in a multi-center, randomized, open-label (2 × 12 week), cross-over study of two prefilled pens in subjects with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, age 18 or older. Internal and external responsiveness were examined. To confirm the measurement model identified in the previous study, the Bentler comparative fit index (CFI) and internal consistency for the RCT sample scores were examined and compared.
Results: Based on a priori criteria, tests of responsiveness were confirmed with patients having significant improvements over time ranging from 2.7 (Psychological Health) to 11.1 (Treatment Burden) (P < 0.01) (effect sizes ranging from 0.2 to 0.8). The previous measurement model factor structure was confirmed (CFI ranging from 0.8 to 1.0), and internal consistency of the TRIMs was similar to the developmental findings.
Conclusions: The total score as well as all domain scores of the TRIMs was significantly responsive over time, thus acceptable internal and external responsiveness of TRIM-D and TRIM-DD are concluded. To date, all validation evidence supports the use of these two measures in future clinical trials.

Recently, we demonstrated that the oncolytic Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) strain PD-H can be efficiently adapted to resistant colorectal cancer cells through dose-dependent passaging in colorectal cancer cells. However, the method is time-consuming, which limits its clinical applicability. Here, we investigated whether the manufacturing time of the adapted virus can be reduced by replacing the dose-based passaging with volume-based passaging.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections in young children. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant change in the epidemiology of RSV and other viruses occurred worldwide, leading to a reduction in the circulation of these infectious agents. After the pandemic, the resurgence of seasonal respiratory viruses occurred, but some features of these infections contrast to those registered prior to the pandemic.

Recently, using a panel of recombinant CHO cell lines, we identified the coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR) and histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) or sialic acid as the minimum requirement for susceptibility to rhesus enteric calicivirus (ReCV) infections. While ReCVs cause lytic infection in LLC-MK2 cells, recombinant CHO (rCHO) cell lines did not exhibit any morphological changes upon infection. To monitor infectious virus production, rCHO cell cultures had to be freeze-thawed and titrated on LLC-MK2 monolayers.

(OBVs) represent a diverse group of RNA viruses, encompassing a progressively increasing number of arboviruses that cause disease in both humans and livestock. Yet, studies investigating these viruses remain scarce despite the critical importance of such knowledge for assessing their zoonotic potential. In this study, we conducted an evaluation of the early immune response against the understudied Batai virus (BATV), as well as the influence of reassortment with the Bunyamwera virus (BUNV) on this response.

Objectives: Although bluetongue is not a contagious disease, it is easily transmitted and spread by appropriate insect vectors, causing great economic damage. Climate change has led to the fact that vectors and diseases have spread to the top of Northern Europe, causing great economic losses in livestock production. An even greater problem is controlling the disease, because numerous species of domestic and wild ruminants are susceptible to bluetongue.
