Meeting report: 34th international conference on antiviral research.

As a result of the multiple gathering and travels restrictions during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the annual meeting of the International Society for Antiviral Research (ISAR), the International Conference on Antiviral Research (ICAR), could not be held in person in 2021. Nonetheless, ISAR successfully organized a remote conference, retaining the most critical aspects of all ICARs, a collegiate gathering of researchers in academia, industry, government and non-governmental institutions working to develop, identify, and evaluate effective antiviral therapy for the benefit of all human beings. This article highlights the 2021 remote meeting, which presented the advances and objectives of antiviral and vaccine discovery, research, and development.

A Qualitative Analysis of Experiences With Food-Related Activities Among People Living With Parkinson Disease and Their Care-Partners.

The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore factors associated with the ability of people with PD to perform food-related activities (FRAs). Eleven dyads, older adults with Parkinson disease (PD) and their care-partners ( = 22), completed virtual semi-structured interviews guided by the Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) that were independently analyzed by two coders via directed content analysis. The following themes were identified-(1) Personal: perception of a healthy diet, perception of how nutrition influences PD, confidence in following a healthy diet, and barriers to performing FRA; (2) Environmental: previous sources of nutrition information and willingness to changing their diet with a registered dietitian; and (3) Behavioral: modifications to FRA due to food-medication interactions, and skills necessary to maintain a healthy diet.

A Bird in Hand: An Examination of the Influence of Nursing School Proximal Density on Hospital Quality of Care Outcomes in U.S. Hospitals.

While nurse staffing shortage is generally true, it is not universal, and it remains unclear the degree to which variation in local staffing markets might influence the relationship between nurse staffing and care quality. This study seeks to determine the effect of nurse staffing markets on the quality of hospital care delivered in U.S.

Spindle Cell Sarcoma of the Uterus Harboring Fusion Gene and Mimicking Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma.

sarcomas are a newly recognized group of exceedingly rare low-grade spindle cell sarcomas that often involve the genitourinary and gynecologic tracts. Due to its deceptively low-grade morphology and the non-specific immunoprofile, these neoplasms may pose a diagnostic challenge by histologically mimicking other entities such as endometrial stromal sarcoma, smooth muscle tumor, or uterine perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa). Histologically, sarcomas typically show spindle cell proliferation with hyperchromatic nuclei and a generalized cytologic uniformity, arranged in short fascicles and exhibiting alternating zones of hypo- and hypercellularity.

Medial rectus disinsertion for management of chronic complete sixth nerve palsy.

Purpose: To report the outcomes of the medial rectus (MR) disinsertion procedure for the management of refractory esotropia (ET) with or without Abnormal head posture (AHP) in chronic complete sixth nerve palsy.

Methods: This is a retrospective case series of patients with sixth nerve palsy who suffered from residual ET and diplopia following the conventional strabismus surgeries and underwent MR disinsertion procedure between April 2017 and February 2020. This procedure was offered to the patients who declined to use prism and did not wish to perform surgery on the fellow eye.

Exploring COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy Among Stakeholders in African American and Latinx Communities in the Deep South Through the Lens of the Health Belief Model.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to qualitatively explore perceptions related to COVID-19 vaccination intention among African American and Latinx participants and suggest intervention strategies.

Approach: Ninety minute virtual focus groups (N = 8), segmented by county, race and ethnicity were conducted with stakeholders from 3 vulnerable Alabama counties.

Participants: Participants (N = 67) were primarily African American and Latinx, at least 19 years, and residents or stakeholders in Jefferson, Mobile, and Dallas counties.
