Influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and COVID-19 are all part of the seasonal respiratory virus lineup. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the upcoming fall and winter are expected to have a similar number of hospitalizations for respiratory diseases as ...
To prevent the release of the fusion peptide, single-chain (SC) variants were designed with a short linker between the F1 and F2 subunits of RSV F (Fig. 1). SC variants of the B1 strain with a short linker showed higher expression levels and only the SC variant combined with the ...
The team at Moderna is leveraging mRNA technology to work towards a paediatric vaccine for RSV, where Miller and Carfi think need is greatest. Moderna is also trialling several mRNA flu vaccines, as well as new COVID vaccines. If these mRNA vaccines could be combined as a COVID-RSV-flu va...
This is a prospective, single arm, single center clinical study to determine the efficacy and safety of pablizumab combined with apatinib and neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with stage iia-iiia non-small cell lung cancer. No EGFR mutation or ALK gene translocation was found in the untreated...
Can I take the RSV vaccine alongside flu or COVID-19 shots? You can get your COVID-19 and flu shots at the same time, but right now, it's best to wait a couple of weeks before getting the RSV vaccine—and vice versa.
As the immune response progresses, the combined efforts of the innate and adaptive immune systems helps control the virus. Infected cells are cleared, and the virus is neutralised and eliminated from the body.As the infection subsides, symptoms gradually improve, and we begin to feel better and...

The reason behind the irregular season could be related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020 and 2021, many parents kept very young children at home rather than sending them to in-person daycare or school. Staying at home, combined with other measures like masking and handwashing, prevented som...
Overall, the assay, using fresh and frozen nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs, demonstrated high concordance with results of the ProFlu+ assay in the combined CW and non-CW settings with positive percent agreements (PPA) (100%, 100%, and 97.1%) and negative percent agre...
