Efficacious interventions are urgently needed for the treatment of COVID-19. Here, we report a monoclonal antibody (mAb), MW05, with SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing activity by disrupting the interaction of receptor binding domain (RBD) with angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor. Crosslinking of Fc with FcγRIIB mediates antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) activity by MW05. This activity is eliminated by introducing the LALA mutation to the Fc region (MW05/LALA). Potent prophylactic and therapeutic effects against SARS-CoV-2 are observed in rhesus monkeys. A single dose of MW05/LALA blocks infection of SARS-CoV-2 in prophylactic treatment and clears SARS-CoV-2 in three days in a therapeutic treatment setting. These results pave the way for the development of MW05/LALA as an antiviral strategy for COVID-19.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of the antiviral drug riamilovir (trade name - «Triazavirin») for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) and other acute respiratory viral infections in young people from organized groups.
Materials And Methods: The study involved 386 individuals aged 18-22 years: 199 received riamilovir at a daily dose of 250 mg for 15 days, while 187 did not receive prophylactic drugs. For 30 days, disease occurrence was monitored among volunteers.
Social determinants of contraception use among rural adolescents: Implications for addressing disparities.
J Rural Health
January 2025
Independent Researcher, Seattle, Washington, USA.
Purpose: Few studies have examined disparities in-and social determinants of-contraception use among rural adolescents despite evidence of higher teen birth rates and greater STI risk in rural communities. Guided by a social determinants of health (SDoH) framework, this cross-sectional study aimed to address these gaps.
Methods: Data come from the 2018 Healthy Youth Survey, including N = 3757 sexually active, rural-based adolescents.
Cationized albumin conjugated solid lipid nanoparticles as vectors for delivery of albendazole against cystic echinococcosis.
Parasit Vectors
December 2024
Department of Medical Parasitology and Mycology, School of Medicine, Hamadan University of Medical Sciences, Hamadan, Iran.
Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a common neglected parasitic disease. Nanoparticles containing drugs have been widely utilized in various formulations for several purposes, including improving the bioavailability of drugs by increasing the solubility and dissolution rate of the nanoparticles. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of solid lipid nanoparticles containing albendazole and conjugated to albumin (B-SLN + ABZ) as a novel treatment approach for hydatid cysts in vivo.
