Article Abstract

The 36th International Conference on Antiviral Research (ICAR), sponsored by the International Society for Antiviral Research (ISAR), was held March 13-17, 2023, in Lyon, France, and concurrently through an interactive remote meeting platform. Here we provide a report summarizing the presentations at the 36th ICAR, including the ISAR speaker awards. We also detail special events, sessions, and additional awards conferred at the meeting. ICAR returned to in-person meetings in 2022, convening in Seattle, WA, USA. The 36th ICAR is the first in-person meeting of the society in Europe since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, which restricted most events to virtual attendance to help mitigate the spread and subsequent public health impact of SARS-CoV-2. An exceptionally high number of registrants and record attendance at this year's ICAR, along with a vast array of demonstrable expertise in a variety of antiviral research-related fields, reflected a strong and growing antiviral research community committed to improving health outcomes from viral diseases, including SARS-CoV-2, and to future pandemic preparedness. This report highlights the breadth of expertise, quality of research, and notable advancements that were contributed by members of ISAR and other participants at the meeting. ICAR aims to continue to provide a platform for sharing information, fostering collaborations, and supporting trainees in the field of antiviral research. The 37th ICAR will be held in Gold Coast, Australia, May 20-24, 2024.

Invisibility─the remarkable ability to render objects imperceptible─has long been a persistent dream of humankind. However, traditional cloaking materials are typically rigid and inflexible, limiting their adaptability to various shapes and requirements. Even when flexibility is achieved, uncontrollable scattering in complex electromagnetic environments continues to pose significant challenges in the design of flexible cloaks.

A few studies investigated critical periods of temperature and the risks of stillbirth and preterm birth. This study aimed to identify critical periods of composite biothermal stress (Universal Thermal Climate Index, UTCI) for stillbirth and spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB). From the Midwives Notification System, 415,271 singleton births between 1st January 2000 and 31st December 2015 were linked to spatiotemporal UTCI in Western Australia.

Endocrine therapy has become the fundamental treatment option for hormone receptor-positive (HR) and receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2-negative (HER2) metastatic breast cancer (mBC). While treatments incorporating cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)4 and 6 inhibitors are more prevalent than ever, comparisons among those regimens are scarce. The aim of the present study was to identify the most effective maintenance treatment for patients with HR and HER2 mBC.

Background: Black women are significantly more likely to experience severe maternal morbidity and are 3 times as likely to die from pregnancy-related causes compared to White women. Using a strengths-based wellness approach within an integrated supportive care program provided by a community doula could offer pragmatic solutions for Black maternal disparities. The Protective Assets Reinforced with Integrated Care and Technology (PARITY) program consists of a wellness technology platform, including informational links to wellness content and reinforcing motivational SMS text messages, as well as community-based doula support delivered both in person and through the technology platform to improve Black maternal wellness.
