Vaccine protection against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection wanes over time, requiring updated boosters. In a phase 2, open-label, randomized clinical trial with sequentially enrolled stages at 22 US sites, we assessed safety and immunogenicity of second boost monovalent or bivalent variant vaccines from mRNA protein-based platforms targeting wild-type, Beta, Delta Omicron BA.1 spike antigens. The primary outcome was pseudovirus neutralization titers 50%...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Evidence from randomized controlled trials for the efficacy of vertebral augmentation in compression fractures has been mixed. However, claims-based analyses national registries or insurance datasets have demonstrated a significant mortality benefit patients with who receive augmentation. The purpose this study was to calculate number needed treat save 1 life at year and up 5 years after <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> A 10-year sample 100% US Medicare data base...

Logistic regression models assessed couples' reports with...
The role of IL-4, a key Th2 cytokine, in promoting or inhibiting active Heymann nephritis (HN) was examined. HN is induced by immunization with Fx1A CFA, and proteinuria associated subepithelial IgG C3 deposition infiltration CD8(+) T-cytotoxic 1 (Tc1) cells macrophages into glomeruli, as well induction Abs to Crry. Treatment rIL-4 from the time Fx1A/CFA stimulated an earlier IgG1 response Fx1A, anti-Crry Abs, up-regulated IL-4 mRNA lymphoid tissue, but did not alter proteinuria. MRCOx-81,...
In 1994, the US and Mexican governments created Border Environment Cooperation Commission (BECC) North American Development Bank (NADBank) to promote water wastewater projects in US-Mexico border region. assistance by these organizations is innovative because of its focus on locally controlled, debt-financed user-fee-supported developed with public participation. Between 1994 2000, BECC NADBank helped develop infrastructure via BECC's project certification efforts NADBank's financing...
Experience in colonias—informal communities Texas characterized by the absence of water and sewer systems—demonstrates that a well‐funded programme to subsidize infrastructure can falter if incentives management capacity involved organizations do not support effective implementation. The Legislature established Economic Distressed Areas Programme (EDAP) 1989 service providers constructing systems colonias. A longitudinal assessment EDAP found performed poorly until late 1990s when...

Purpose: Individuals who receive lung transplantation (LTx) have prolonged lower extremity weakness that limits exercise capacity and function. The purposes of this pilot study were to measure whether acute, intense, gym-based rehabilitation significantly increased walking distance strength after LTx identify gains retained at 6-month follow-up. Methods: Nine men (mean age =57 years) completed 4 weeks daily (5×/wk), acute care LTx. Rehabilitation included stretching, aerobic conditioning,...
Abstract This case highlights a hybrid treatment model used successfully in patient with complicated recurrent renal cell carcinoma (RCC), following partial nephrectomy, the context of single kidney. Scar tissue from previous surgery tethered ureter to margin lesion and combined obesity, rendered simple percutaneous intervention challenging. The was ultimately treated using approach open surgical access, ureterolysis, intraoperative ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation. optimized volume...
