It has been established that blood vessels are a target for influenza virus; however, the mechanism by which virus affects the cardiovascular system remains unknown. The aim of the study is the identification of histological changes and changes in the functional activity of the pulmonary and mesenteric blood vessels of Wistar rats. Wistar rats were intranasally infected with the influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus. At 24 and 96 h post infection (hpi), histopathological changes were observed in lung tissues with the absence of histological changes in mesenteric tissues. The functional activity of pulmonary and mesenteric arteries was determined using wire myography. In pulmonary arteries, there was a tendency towards an increase in integral response to the vasodilator and a decrease in the integral response to the vasoconstrictor at 24 hpi (compared with control). At 96 hpi, a tendency towards a decrease in the integral response to the vasoconstrictor persisted, while the response to acetylcholine was slightly increased. The functional activity of the mesenteric blood vessels was inverted: a significant decrease in the integral response to the vasodilator and an increase in the response to the vasoconstrictor at 24 hpi were observed; at 96 hpi, the integral response to the vasoconstrictor persisted, while the response to the vasodilator remained significantly reduced. Obtained data indicate the development of endothelial dysfunction in non-lethal and clinically non-severe experimental influenza virus infection.

Wearable devices designed for the somatosensory system aim to provide event-cue feedback electronics and therapeutic stimulation to the peripheral nervous system. This prompts a neurological response that is relayed back to the central nervous system. Unlike virtual reality tools, these devices precisely target peripheral mechanoreceptors by administering specific stimuli.

The development of integrated multiple signal outputs within a single platform is highly significant for efficient and accurate on-site biomarker detection. Herein, colorimetric/electrochemical dual-mode microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) were designed for portable, visual and accurate dopamine (DA) detection. The dual-mode μPADs, featuring folded structure, integrate a colorimetric layer and an electrochemical layer using wax printing and laser-induced graphene (LIG) pyrolysis techniques, allowing the vertical flow of analyte solution.

Background: Patients with cerebrovascular accident (CVA) should be involved in setting their rehabilitation goals. A personalized prediction of CVA outcomes would allow care professionals to better inform patients and informal caregivers. Several accurate prediction models have been created, but acceptance and proper implementation of the models are prerequisites for model adoption.

Background: In South Africa, there is no centralized HIV surveillance system where key populations (KPs) data, including gay men and other men who have sex with men, female sex workers, transgender persons, people who use drugs, and incarcerated persons, are stored in South Africa despite being on higher risk of HIV acquisition and transmission than the general population. Data on KPs are being collected on a smaller scale by numerous stakeholders and managed in silos. There exists an opportunity to harness a variety of data, such as empirical, contextual, observational, and programmatic data, for evaluating the potential impact of HIV responses among KPs in South Africa.

Background: Self-guided internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) achieves greater reach than ICBT delivered with therapist guidance, but demonstrates poorer engagement and fewer clinical benefits. Alternative models of care are required that promote engagement and are effective, accessible, and scalable.
Objective: This randomized trial evaluated whether a stepped care approach to ICBT using therapist guidance via videoconferencing for the step-up component (ICBT-SC[VC]) is noninferior to ICBT with full therapist delivery by videoconferencing (ICBT-TG[VC]) for child and adolescent anxiety.
