Background. Previous studies in mice showed that respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection
was associated with RSV RNA persistence. This study was designed to characterize the …

Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) is linked to various respiratory outcomes.
However, the associations of concentrations of PM 2.5-bound polycyclic aromatic …

Originally considered as only a paediatric pathogen, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has
recently been shown to be a significant cause of respiratory illness among elderly and high …

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection can
result in a prolonged multisystem disorder termed long COVID, which may affect up to 10 …

Many viruses can establish non-cytolytic, chronic infections in host cells. Beyond the
intrinsically interesting questions of how this long-term parasitism is achieved, persistently …

The annual epidemics of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection are probably explained
by poor herd immunity and the existence of a dormant reservoir of virus that is activated by …

Respiratory viruses are among the most important causes of morbidity and mortality
worldwide. From a vaccine viewpoint, such viruses may be divided into two principle groups …

Results: Using backward stepwise linear regression,% energy from dietary fat, age and
plasma IL-6 were considered as negative predictors of forced expiratory volume in one …

Purpose High-sensitivity assays enabled the identification of C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) at
levels that were previously undetectable. We aimed to determine if hs-CRP could reflect …

Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory disorder
partially resistant to glucocorticoids. A reduced histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity has …
