Immunogenicity And Efficacy Of A Rabies-Based Vaccine Against Highly Pathogenic Influenza H5n1 Virus, Nir Paran, Christoph Wirblich, Randy Albrecht, Leila Zabihi Diba, Alessandro Tarquinio, Drishya Kurup, Charalambos C. Solomides, Adolfo García-Sastre, Matthias J. Schnell

Department of Microbiology and Immunology Faculty Papers

The recent spillover of highly pathogenic influenza A/H5N1 (HPAI-H5N1) viruses to cattle, other mammals, and humans poses a major risk to animal and human health. Virus adaptation to new species highlights the need for effective vaccines for animals and humans. We recently developed a rabies virus-based H5 vaccine encoding the HPAI-H5 antigen and presenting it on the surface of the rabies virus particle. To test the immunogenicity and efficacy of the vaccine in eliciting systemic and mucosal immune response, we vaccinated mice intramuscularly or intranasally with either live or inactivated and adjuvanted vaccine. The vaccine elicited neutralizing antibodies against RABV …

Miracle Temple Apostolic Holiness Church Of Am., Inc. V Mack And Heward

All Decisions

In this holdover proceeding, the landlord sought to evict month-to-month tenants based on a 90-day notice, claiming exemption from the Good Cause Eviction Law (GCEL) under RPL § 214(14) as a religious institution. The tenants moved to dismiss, arguing the landlord failed to state a cause of action. The court interpreted RPL § 214(14) to require current use of the premises by the religious facility, not merely future intent to house missionaries. Finding that the landlord's current use was only for rental purposes and the unit was not tax-exempt or currently affiliated with the church, the court granted the tenants' …

Ai-Guided Hemodynamic Management In Non-Emergency Cardiac Surgery, James P. Warren, Maria Ledbetter

Group: Samford University Moffett & Sanders School of Nursing

This scholarly project examines the role of artificial intelligence (AI)–guided hemodynamic management in reducing intraoperative hypotension during non-emergent cardiac surgery. Intraoperative hypotension, defined as mean arterial pressure (MAP) below 65 mmHg, is a well-established risk factor for myocardial injury, acute kidney injury, and increased postoperative morbidity and mortality. Despite vigilant monitoring, traditional clinician-directed management remains largely reactive, intervening only after hypotension has occurred.

The project centers on a clinical case involving a 67-year-old male undergoing elective on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, during which several transient hypotensive episodes occurred despite standard anesthetic care. These events served as a catalyst for an …

Education Accountability Regarding Oral Contraceptives And Sugammadex, Hallianne Hobson Herndon, Terri M. Cahoon

Group: Samford University Moffett & Sanders School of Nursing

Sugammadex is commonly used to antagonize neuromuscular blockade and has a clinically significant interaction with hormonal contraceptives by binding to plasma progesterone, reducing contraceptive efficacy and mimicking a missed dose. This case involved a healthy 21-year-old woman undergoing elective anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament repair whose only home medication was an oral contraceptive. She received midazolam prior to anesthesia assessment, limiting her ability to retain education, and counseling occurred at a suboptimal time without a support person present. Postoperative education was verbally relayed without standardized documentation or accountability. This project examined whether implementation of a standardized protocol regarding …

Competition Law In The Age Of Sustainability: Regulatory Challenges And Strategic Responses, Emrah Kulakli, Serhat Yüksel, Serkan Eti, Hasan Dinçer

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

The increasing emphasis on sustainability has intensified tensions with competition law, particularly when cooperative initiatives create risks for market competition or consumer welfare. The main challenge is to identify regulatory strategies that balance sustainability objectives with competitive market principles. This requires a systematic assessment of both sustainability benefits and competition related risks. Existing studies largely rely on legal discussions or case-based evaluations and provide limited quantitative guidance for prioritizing regulatory approaches. This study addresses this gap by proposing a structured decision-making framework to reduce conflicts between sustainability goals and competition law. A hybrid model is developed by integrating spherical fuzzy …

Background: Stroke is a sexually dimorphic disease, with different risk factors, incidence, outcomes, and treatment responses in men and women. While sex differences have been documented in preclinical studies, these findings often come from single-site studies with small sample sizes and require validation across diverse research settings.

Methods: We used data from the SPAN (Stroke Preclinical Assessment Network), a randomized, placebo-controlled, blinded, multilaboratory trial, to determine if sex differences in neurological outcomes are present in preclinical stroke models. We analyzed data from 665 stroke animals treated with saline, including young mice, diet-induced obese mice, aging mice, young rats, and spontaneously …

Nci-Designated Cancer Centers' Policies And Practices With Regard To Alcohol And Cancer: A Call To Lead, Ernest T Hawk, Stephanie L Martch, Meghan Si, Sanjay Shete

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Background: Alcohol, a known carcinogen since 1988, increases risk of cancers of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, liver, breast, and colorectum. More than one half of US adults consume alcohol whereas about two thirds are unsure whether or unaware that alcohol intake is linked to cancer risk.

Methods: Our objective was to survey awareness, beliefs, intentions, policies, practices, and goals/perceived responsibilities related to establishing/promoting actions to reduce alcohol-related cancer risks from leaders of 72 NCI-Designated Cancer Centers.

Results: Sixty-one percent responded. Forty-three percent either believed in or were uncertain about alcohol's purported health benefits. Nevertheless, 86% considered it part of …

Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal

KBG syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterised by developmental delay, characteristic facial features, macrodontia and skeletal anomalies, caused by mutations in the ANKRD11 gene. We report a 5.5-year-old Moroccan boy who presented in 2022 to a tertiary military teaching hospital in Rabat, Morocco, with psychomotor delay, autistic traits, epilepsy, bilateral hearing loss with chronic otomastoiditis and radiologically-detected macrodontia before clinical eruption, in whom artificial intelligence-assisted facial phenotyping suggested the diagnosis, subsequently confirmed by identification of a novel nonsense mutation (c.1977C>G; p.Tyr659Ter). Multidisciplinary management including antiepileptic therapy, speech therapy and audiological follow-up resulted in satisfactory seizure control and …
