  • The hepatitis B virus (HBV) can be inactivated effectively inter alia by chemical biocides characterized by broad-spectrum virucidal activity according to the norm EN 14476:2007 [ 3 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • However, the number of agents achieving broad-spectrum virucidal efficacy is limited and they are not required for the inactivation of HBV such as other human blood-borne viruses since these lipophilic viruses with an envelope are characterized by lower stability than viruses without envelope [ 4 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Limited virucidal activity has been declared when there is a proven efficacy against two representatives of enveloped viruses, the vaccinia virus strain Lister Elstree (VACV) or the modified vaccinia Ankara strain (MVA) [ 6 ] and the bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) strain NADL.

  • Mask reuse was significantly associated with depression only among those who perceived the disease as serious ( p = 0.025) and those who had poorer cues to preventive measures ( p = 0.004). (frontiersin.org)
  • They concluded that effects of revascularization on cognitive performance in intracranial steno-occlusive disease remain uncertain due to limitations in existing studies. (medscape.com)
  • Despite numerous studies defining the relationship between exercise, the immune response and diseases, the results can be rather contradictory and complex due to the variable nature of the exercise itself, the complexity of the immune system and individual differences. (orffa.com)
  • Thymagen has been widely utilized in non-human research studies due to its potential applications across multiple disciplines. (researchpeptides.net)
  • These studies all provided strong evidence of a susceptibility region in chromosome 15, with an extremely consistent measure of effect between the studies (Fig 1). (who.int)
  • Susceptibility to the insecticide was high but there was no discernable change in the oviposition rate or the catch of adult female mosquitoes, nor was there any change in the parous rate. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Recently a long-term study in high performing race horses showed the efficacy and safety of a beta1,3/1,6-glucan as a feed supplement. (orffa.com)
  • Perceived efficacy of hygiene measures (wearing a mask: 82%, hand washing: 93%, and home disinfection: 75%) remained high in both phases and the perceived efficacy of avoiding crowded place, and using public transportation, etc, increased initially and decreased in the second phase. (bmj.com)
  • Influenza traditionally has been diagnosed on the basis of clinical criteria, but rapid diagnostic tests, which have a high degree of specificity but only moderate sensitivity, are becoming more widely used. (medscape.com)
  • Following initial exposure to Sporothrix schenckii, the disease typically progresses over a period of a week to several months. (wikipedia.org)
  • This difference may be related to exposure frequency rather than a gender difference in susceptibility. (medscape.com)
  • The acute septicemia caused by P. multocida is associated with hemorrhagic septicemia (HS), a severe disease which involves the capsular types B and E of this microorganism [ 4 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Even though Pasteurella multocida is commonly present in the upper respiratory tract of domestic and wild species and it is considered an opportunistic agent, this microorganism is, in fact, the primary etiological cause of a wide range of diseases with global economic importance [ 1 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • In many countries, ultra-low volume (ULV) insecticidal aerosols dispensed from vehicle-mounted cold-foggers, widely used to combat nuisance species, are considered the method of choice during public health emergencies [ 11 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The low vaccine efficacy of the Rubini strain was observed throughout all age groups. (bmj.com)
  • From a public health perspective, immunisation against mumps with the Rubini strain should be strongly discouraged unless the field efficacy of this vaccine is convincingly shown. (bmj.com)
  • 3) For patients with less severe disease, or those who are intolerant to the three-drug regimen, a two-drug regimen with a macrolide and ethambutol may be appropriate. (exploremyplan.com)
