Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Product Description
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was first identified half a century ago in 1956.Following its discovery, the virus soon became recognised as a major viral pathogen causing extensive outbreaks of respiratory tract infections in both the very young and in vulnerable adults.It is an unusual virus in that it can cause repeated reinfections throughout life. The topics covered within this volume are wide ranging in scope from the most basic molecular biology of the virus to the clinical picture of RSV in the developing world. The internationally recognised experts were invited not only to review the present state of knowledge but also to give their perspective on the current situation and to identify the gaps and future requirements for research in an effort to stimulate new cross-cutting approaches to tackle this major viral pathogen. ...

Product Description
Abstract: The microbiology of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in older adults, particularly in residents of long-term care facilities, differs from that in the general US population. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human metapneumovirus (HMPV) are important, newly appreciated causes of pneumonia and triggers of comorbid disease exacerbations that often lead to hospitalization of high-risk elderly patients with underlying heart or lung disease. Here, Dr High examines the diagnostic and treatment strategies that are needed in older adults and outlines preventive methods that may greatly reduce the risk of illness in this population. ...

Product Description
This book is divided into three chapters. In chapterI, the author provides fully referenced backgroundinformation about the structure and biology ofrespiratory syncytial virus (RSV), including genomeorganization and a brief discussion of each viralprotein under separate headings. Chapter II is astudy to clarify the role of cell surfaceglycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in RSV infection. Theresults of this study show that only certain typesof GAGs can mediate RSV infection, the mostimportant being heparan sulfate. The last chaptercontains a study to determine the components ofheparin/heparan sulfate that are functionallyimportant, such as the level of sulfation, theamount of iduronic acid and the minimalpolysaccharide chain length that can function as areceptor for RSV. The results also show that RSVdoes not contain GAGs in its viral envelope. ... Read more

Description:
Background: Nosocomially acquired respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections cause serious problems in hospitalized patients. An increased effort should be made to describe the problems connected with such infections in pediatric hospitals, with the aim of reducing the occurrence of nosocomial RSV infections (NI). Methods: A specialized database was introduced for surveillance and a multifaceted barrier concept based on the CDC recommendations was developed for the control of NI in a university children's hospital in Germany. Results: Between 1999 and 2002 (November 1-April 30), 283 RSV infections (general population) were prospectively documented. Thirty-nine cases (13.8%) were nosocomial infections (NI) with an incidence density (ID) of 0.99/1000 patient days; 48.7% of all NI were found in prematurely born infants. Following the introduction of a surveillance and prevention policy, a 9-fold decrease of the ID (1.67 vs. 0.18/1000 patient-days) was found when comparing the first and the last season. Intensive care treatment was required in 18% of all documented RSV-infections, in 48.7% of all NI cases and in 43.5% of all RSV-infected prematurely born infants. Overall RSV-related mortality was 0.71%. Conclusions: Early diagnosis, a strict cohorting and contact isolation policy, and prospective surveillance contribute to the reduction of nosocomial RSV infection. ... Read more

From the author: Purpose: To compare two types of specimen collection methods for RSV (respiratory syncytial virus): nasal wash and nasopharyngeal wash. Methodology: An exploratory descriptive research design was used to examine nasopharyngeal wash and nasal wash methods of collecting specimens for RSV to determine if one method gives more consistently accurate results. Sample size was 66. Findings: Using chi square analysis on a contingency table, there was no significant difference between the two collection methods. Only 2 of the 66 samples showed a difference in the two collection methods by giving a positive result with the nasopharyngeal method. Conclusions: There is no significant difference between using nasal wash and nasopharyngeal wash methods for collecting specimen for RSV testing. Nasal wash is a safe and accurate method for obtaining specimen for RSV.

Excerpt: gp120 is a glycoprotein exposed on the surface of the HIV envelope. The 120 in its name comes from its molecular weight of 120 kilodaltons. gp120 is essential for virus entry into cells as it plays a vital role in seeking out specific cell surface receptors for entry. The crystal structure of gp120 complexed to D1D2 CD4 and a neutralizing antibody Fab was solved by Peter Kwong in 1998. It is organized with an outer domain, an inner domain with respect to its termini and a bridging sheet. The gp120 gene, env, is around 1.5 kb long and codes for around 500 amino acids. Three gp120s, bound as heterodimers to a transmembrane glycoprotein, gp41, are thought to combine in a trimer to form the envelope spike, which is involved in virus-cell attachment. The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) can mutate frequently to stay ahead of the immune system. There is however a highly conserved region in the virus genome near its receptor binding site. The glycoprotein gp120 is anchored to the viral membrane, or envelope, via non-covalent bonds with the transmembrane glycoprotein, gp41. It is involved in entry into cells by binding to CD4 receptors, particularly helper T-cells. Binding to CD4 is mainly electrostatic alth...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2852949 ... Read more

From the author: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia among infants and children. The purpose of this paper is to review the epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, risk factors, and assessment of RSV infection in infants and young children. There is a lack of consensus regarding the optimal treatment for children with RSV infection. Bronchodilators, racemic epinephrine, inhaled and systemic corticosteroids, RSV-immunoglobulin (RSV-IG), and ribavirin have all been used for treatment of children with RSV infection. A review of current research indicates supportive and symptomatic management should be the mainstay of treatment. Ultimately, prevention of infection through education and immunotherapy is the key to reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with RSV bronchiolitis.
