A serological survey of the prevalence of arbovirus antibodies in various mammals and birds was made in Israel during the years 1959-60, employing the haemagglutination-inhibition technique and using group-A and group-B antigens. High proportions of the animals of several species were found to be positive to group-B arboviruses. Most of these animals showed higher titres against the West Nile virus than against that of turkey meningoencephalitis, but in some cases there were higher titres against the latter virus. Group-A positive sera were also encountered, but in a smaller proportion of the tested animals. Most of the group-A positive sera were also group-B positive, and very few were group-A positive only.

Relationship Between Carotid Artery Remodeling Characteristics and Early Carotid Atherosclerosis: An Ultrasonographic Multicenter Study.
J Ultrasound Med
January 2025
Department of Vascular Ultrasonography, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Objectives: This study analyzed carotid artery remodeling characteristics in early carotid atherosclerosis (ECAS).
Methods: The 1021 participants were evaluated using ultrasonography and categorized into three groups: Group A, 391 participants with increased intima-media thickness (IMT); Group B, 300 participants with atherosclerotic plaque only on the carotid bulb (CB); and the control group (330 participants). The ratios of the diameters in the CB to those in the common carotid artery (D) and internal carotid artery (D) were defined as carotid index1 (CI) and 2 (CI).

Int Urol Nephrol
January 2025
Department of Urology, MedStar Georgetown, Georgetown University School of Medicine, 3900 Reservoir Rd NW, Washington, DC, 20007, USA.
Introduction: Radiation exposure during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) can vary depending on the method used for renal access. This study aimed to compare fluoroscopy time and dose during PCNL when renal access is achieved via interventional radiology (IR) versus urology.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients who underwent unilateral PCNL between January 2020 and February 2023 was conducted.
Preliminary effectiveness of social prescription and virtual patient information in increasing tertiary prevention among cancer patients (ESPRIT): protocol for a single-centre, randomised controlled pilot trial.
BMJ Open
January 2025
Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine, Medical Sociology, University of Regensburg, Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany.
Introduction: Tertiary prevention through physical activity and psychosocial support can positively impact patient outcomes, such as physical function and quality of life (QoL). However, more research is required on the effectiveness of strategies designed to increase the uptake of tertiary prevention programmes among cancer patients. Here, we present the protocol for a single-centre, randomised controlled pilot trial testing the preliminary effectiveness of social prescription and virtual patient information in increasing tertiary prevention among cancer patients and support persons (SPs) (ESPRIT "ffectiveness of a ocial escription and virtual patient nformation in increasing ertiary prevention" pilot trial).
