The standard dengue virus (DENV) neutralization assay inconsistently predicts dengue protection. We compare how IgG ELISA, envelope domain III (EDIII), or non-structural protein 1 (NS1) binding antibodies, and titers from plaque reduction neutralization tests (PRNTs) using standard and mature viruses are associated with dengue. The ELISA measures IgG antibodies that bind to inactivated DENV1-4.

Introduction: There is no organized prostate cancer screening in Germany. The aim of this study was to investigate the development of incidence and survival in patients with primary malignant tumors of the prostate in relation to changing recommendations of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening in guidelines.
Methods: Age-standardized incidence rates and 5-year relative survival (RS) (period approach) were calculated using data from the cancer registry North Rhine-Westphalia with the subset of the administrative district Münster respectively for the years 1992-2019.

Thymidine phosphorylase (TYMP) promotes platelet activation and thrombosis while suppressing vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation. Both processes are central to the development and progression of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). We hypothesize that TYMP plays a role in AAA development.

Cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and renal artery stenosis (RAS) standing out as significant contributors to the vascular pathology spectrum. While these conditions have traditionally been approached as distinct entities, emerging evidence suggests a compelling interdependent relationship between AAA and RAS, challenging the conventional siloed understanding. The confluence of AAA and RAS represents a complex interplay within the cardiovascular system, one that is often overlooked in clinical practice and research.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a cardiovascular disease with potentially fatal consequences, yet effective therapies to prevent its progression remain unavailable. Oxidative stress is associated with AAA development. Carbon dots have reactive oxygen species-scavenging activity, while green tea extract exhibits robust antioxidant properties.
