This study presents the first investigation into limb preference and personality in donkeys, although more research is needed to clarify whether there is a population-level limb preference bias in donkeys, and the relationship between limb preference and Agreeableness.This study investigated the validity and reliability of Turkish versions of the Waterloo Handedness and Footedness Questionnaire-Revised (WHQ-R and WFQ-R). Turkish versions of the WHQ-R and the WFQ-R, and other assessments (the Handedness Questionnaire and the Footedness Preference Test) were applied to 444 healthy participants aged between 18 and 65 years. The translation and cultural adaptation process of the WHQ-R and the WFQ-R was provided by the following proposed guideline. For test-retest reliability, translated versions were re-applied to 88 participants in a 7-day interval. Cronbach's alpha of the WHQ-R was 0.984 and that of the WFQ was 0.905. The test-retest intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC) of the WHQ-R varied from 0.741 to 0.933 and those of the WFQ-R from 0.649 to 0.814. There were moderate to strong correlations between the WHQ-R and the Handedness Questionnaire (r = -853, p  less then  0.001) and between the WFQ-R and the Footedness Preference Test (r = -0.687, p  less then  0.001). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a two-factor structure of the WHQ-R and the WFQ-R. The results of this study demonstrated that Turkish versions of the WHQ-R and the WFQ-R are reliable and valid inventories for assessing handedness and footedness in this population.

To describe a case of outer retinitis with frosted branch angiitis associated with mumps infection treated with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy.

Observational case report.

A four-year-old boy with bilateral blindness was diagnosed with necrotizing outer retinitis with frosted branch angiitis associated with serologically confirmed mumps virus infection. He was treated with HBO therapy. Visual acuity subsequently improved to 20/40 in the right eye and to 20/320 in the left eye. Sequential follow-up optical coherence tomography examinations showed progressive recovery of the outer retinal layers in the right eye.

HBO therapy appears to be a feasible and safe treatment that might improve the anatomical and functional outcome in patients with mumps retinitis.

HBO therapy appears to be a feasible and safe treatment that might improve the anatomical and functional outcome in patients with mumps retinitis.Background Currently, children aged 6-9 years have the highest incidence rate of mumps in China. Although China has introduced a two-dose schedule of measles-mumps-rubella vaccine into routine immunization (at 8 months and 18 months), the incidence rate of mumps in high-risk populations might not decrease due to waning immunity. Here we report a mumps outbreak supporting this hypothesis.Methods The descriptive epidemiological method was used to summarize the overall characteristics of the course of the outbreak. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to evaluate the vaccine effectiveness (VE) of mumps-containing vaccine (MuCV).Results A total of 78 cases were identified during the outbreak and the estimated vaccination coverage was 84.7%. Of 454 vaccinated students, 335 (73.8%) had received one-dose MuCV, 93 (20.5%) two-dose, and 26 (5.7%) three-dose. The VEs for both the one-dose (-17.0%, 95%CI -120.3-38.2%) and two-dose groups (-10.0%, 95%CI -138.0-48.8%) were not performed well, whereas the VE for the three-dose group was 100%. However, we found that the overall VE was 74.2% (95% CI 9.7-92.6%) for students vaccinated within 5 years. We also observed that there was a broadly linear increase in mumps infection risk in both one-dose and two-dose group when the time since last dose vaccination was more than 5 years.Conclusions The overall VE for both one-dose and two-dose MuCV was discouraging, but it appeared to be moderately effective within 5 years after vaccination. Further surveillance and seroepidemiological data are needed to understand the impact of the new vaccination strategy on mumps in China.Background Rotavirus infections, prevalent in human populations, are caused mostly by group A viruses. Immunization against rotaviruses in infancy is currently the most effective and economical strategy to prevent rotavirus infection. This study evaluated the safety of a novel hexavalent rotavirus vaccine and analyzed its dose and immunogenicity.Methods This randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled phase I clinical trial enrolled healthy adults, toddlers, and infants in Zhengding County, Hebei Province, northern China. 40 adults and 40 children were assigned in a 211 ratio to receive one vaccine dose, placebo 1, and placebo 2, respectively. 120 6-12 week old infants were assigned equivalently into 3 groups. The infants in each group were assigned in a 211 ratio to receive three doses of vaccine, placebo 1, and placebo 2, at a 28-day interval. Adverse events (AEs) until 28 days after each dose and serious adverse events (SAEs) until 6 months after the third dose were reported. Pembrolizumab Virus shedding until 14 days after each dose in infants was tested. Geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) and seroconversion rates were measured for anti-rotavirus IgA by using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results The solicited and unsolicited AE frequencies and laboratory indexes were similar among the treatment groups. No vaccine-related SAEs were reported. The average percentage of rotavirus vaccine shedding in the infant vaccine groups was 5.00%. The post-3rd dose anti-rotavirus IgA antibody geometric mean concentrations (GMC) and seroconversion rate were higher in the vaccine groups than in the placebo groups.Conclusions The novel oral hexavalent rotavirus vaccine was generally well-tolerated in all adults, toddlers and infants, and the vaccine was immunogenic in infants.COVID-19 is an international public health emergency in need of effective and safe vaccines for SARS-CoV-2. A systematic review has been done to analyze the availability, development and status of new COVID-19 vaccine candidates as well as the status of vaccines for other diseases that might be effective against SARS-CoV-2 infection. PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Cochrane library, ClinicalTrials.gov, Web of Science and different trial registries were searched for currently available and probable future vaccines. Articles and ongoing clinical trials are included to ascertain the availability and developmental approaches of new vaccines that could limit the present and future outbreaks. Pharmaceutical companies and institutions are at different stages of developing new vaccines, and extensive studies and clinical trials are still required.
