Alum adjuvanted formalin-inactivated respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccination resulted in enhanced respiratory disease in young children upon natural infection. Here, we investigated the adjuvant effects of monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL) and oligodeoxynucleotide CpG (CpG) on vaccine-enhanced respiratory disease after fusion (F) protein prime vaccination and RSV challenge in infant and adult mouse models. Combination CpG + MPL adjuvant in RSV F protein single dose priming of infant and adult age mice was found to promote the induction of IgG2a isotype antibodies and neutralizing activity, and lung viral clearance after challenge. CpG + MPL adjuvanted F protein (Fp) priming of infant and adult age mice was effective in avoiding lung histopathology, in reducing interleukin-4 CD4 T cells and cellular infiltration of monocytes and neutrophils after RSV challenge. This study suggests that combination CpG and MPL adjuvant in RSV subunit vaccination might contribute to priming protective immune responses and preventing inflammatory RSV disease after infection.

Background: Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is an autosomal recessive hereditary neurodegenerative disease caused by a deficiency in arylsulfatase A (ARSA) activity and belongs to the group of lysosomal storage diseases. A biochemical diagnosis of MLD is based on determining the residual ARSA activity in leukocytes, skin fibroblasts, and urine. This study documents our biochemical experience and estimates the relative frequency of MLD over 21 years (2001-2022).

Background: Improving joint intra-household decision-making by spouses is a promising solution to improve child-feeding practices. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the status and barriers of intra-household joint decision making on child feeding in rural districts of South Ethiopia from the perspectives of primary caregivers and key individuals.
Methods: A mixed-method study was conducted from July 15 to September 15, 2023 in three randomly selected rural districts: Arba Minch Zuria, Mierab Abaya, and Chencha, in Southern Ethiopia.

Background/aim: The epidemiological data on heart failure (HF) vary between regions within the same country. We aimed to investigate the epidemiological data on HF in Türkiye across all age groups regarding seven geographical regions.
Materials And Methods: We included all patients from the Turkish population who received a first diagnosis of HF between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2022, using ICD-10 codes from the National Electronic Healthcare Database.

Background: Women with vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) are known to experience vaginal microbial dysbiosis. However, the dynamic alterations of the vaginal microbiome in pregnant women with VVC and its effect on neonatal gut microbiome remain unclear. This study aims to characterize the vaginal microbiome in pregnant women with VVC and its impact on their offspring's meconium microbiome.
