Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) tumors are derived from endothelial cells and express sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) microRNAs (miRNAs). Although miRNA targets have been identified in B cell lymphoma-derived epithelial cells, little has done to characterize the KSHV targetome cells. A recent innovation identification of targetomes, cross-linking, ligation, sequencing hybrids (CLASH), unambiguously identifies miRNAs their by ligating two species while both still bound within RNA-induced...

Abstract Clinical immunity to malaria can reduce fever and lead asymptomatic infection but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. To examine development of clinical immunity, we conducted a multi-cohort, repeat controlled human (CHMI) study with Plasmodium vivax , heterologous rechallenge P. falciparum . Malaria-naïve adults underwent CHMI up three times, at an interval 5 20 months, by administration red blood cells infected PvW1 clone. In final cohort study, subset participants 3D7...

Ribonomics experiments involving crosslinking and immuno-precipitation (CLIP) of Ago proteins have expanded the understanding miRNA targetome several organisms. These techniques, collectively referred to as CLIP-seq, been applied identifying mRNA targets miRNAs expressed by Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV) Epstein–Barr (EBV). However, these studies focused on only those RNA KSHV EBV that are known encode proteins. Recent demonstrated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) also...

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are among the leading causes of health care–associated in neurosurgical populations. Successful reduction CAUTIs involve development staff nurses as front-line change agents equipped with preventative strategies, educational interventions, and sustainable maintenance for positive patient outcomes. J Contin Educ Nurs. 2015;46(9):384–386.

Providing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to a coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) patient is challenging for the healthcare providers (HCP). COVID-19 cases have specific CPR requirements, which differ from standard efforts.This paper aims evaluate whether online learning can be an effective methodology imparting information on management of arrest in patients due novel virus unknown HCP based evaluation knowledge acquisition and satisfaction nurses new area medicine virology.In...

Objectives: Nurses are an integral team member in intensive care units (ICU) and can play important role facilitating the organ donation process. Hence, sensitisation of these nurses is important. The aim study was to assess effectiveness a computer based self-instruction module (CBSIM) terms improving knowledge acceptability relation donation. Materials Methods: In this prospective study, 56 working ICU were enrolled using total enumeration technique. After filling up demographic profile,...
