Pathological and haematological responses of cats experimentally infected with Toxocara canis larvae.

Responses of eight adult cats to one or two infections with larvae of Toxocara canis were studied up to 39 days post infection (DPI). Clinically, all cats remained normal throughout the study. The major necropsy finding was multifocal, white to grey nodules mainly within the liver, lungs and kidneys; live larvae were found in liver nodules. Histologically, the nodules were eosinophilic granulomas. Granulomas containing a larval section were observed mainly within the liver. All infected cats had variably severe, eosinophilic arteritis and bronchiolitis and medial hypertrophy and hyperplasia of…

NAD+ metabolic restoration resolves the inflammation-immunocompetence trade-off in lung graft-versus-host disease.

Chronic lung graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains difficult to treat, and broad immunosuppression increases infection risk. Single-cell profiling of bronchoalveolar lavage from bronchiolitis obliterans lesions revealed collapse of an epithelial nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) metabolic axis with pathogenic immune-epithelial remodeling, nominating NAD+ restoration as an entry point. Because free NAD+ is poorly cell-permeable and rapidly consumed, we engineered CaNAD+-PGB-LiP (CNAPL), a high-payload NAD+ nanomedici…

Neutrophil myeloperoxidase as a functional biomarker for RSV severity: implications for in vitro therapeutic screening.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of severe lower respiratory tract infections in infants, yet therapeutics are lacking. The aim of this study was to develop a pre‑clinical model that recapitulates key clinical outcomes in infants with RSV bronchiolitis, such as neutrophil activation and migration into the airways. Peripheral blood neutrophils from infants with severe RSV disease admitted to the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit showed elevated myeloperoxidase (MPO) in children with RSV, compared to age-matched controls. To mechanistically model this response, we established an…

Role of genetic modifiers on pulmonary consequences of cancer therapy in children.

Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) often face late-onset adverse effects, with pulmonary complications being particularly common. In this study, we analyzed 104 CCS with pulmonary issues post-treatment using a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify genetic susceptibility markers. Among the cohort, 20% were diagnosed with interstitial lung disease (ILD), while other complications included pulmonary fibrosis (3%) and bronchiolitis obliterans (3%). Pulmonary function test (PFT) impairments were present in 74% of patients, with symptoms such as exertional dyspnea (14%) and chronic cough (9…

Updates on respiratory syncytial virus prophylaxis: the past, present and future.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes acute respiratory infection in individuals of all age groups. It is the most common pathogen identified in infants and young children with acute lower respiratory infection. Although most infants and young children experience mild, cold-like symptoms, some infants develop severe lower respiratory tract disease such as pneumonia and bronchiolitis that may result in an emergency department visit or hospitalization. RECENT FINDINGS: In the United States, hospitalization rates have risen during the last decades, and while premature…

Neurological Impact of Respiratory Viruses: Insights into Glial Cell Responses in the Central Nervous System.

Respiratory viral infections pose a significant public health threat, particularly in children and older adults, with high mortality rates. Some of these pathogens are the human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV), severe acute respiratory coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), influenza viruses (IV), human parvovirus B19 (B19V), and human bocavirus 1 (HBoV1). These viruses cause various respiratory symptoms, including cough, fever, bronchiolitis, and pneumonia. Notably, these viruses can also impact the central nervous system (CNS), leading to acute manifestations such as seizures, encephalopathies, ence…

An Unrecognized Hazard in E-Cigarette Vapor: Preliminary Quantification of Methylglyoxal Formation from Propylene Glycol in E-Cigarettes.

Up to 95% of the liquid volume in an e-cigarette consists of propylene glycol. Previous research has shown that propylene glycol can generate diacetyl and formaldehyde when heated. New research shows that propylene glycol can also generate methylglyoxal, an alpha di-carbonyl compound recently shown to cause epithelial necrosis at even lower concentrations than diacetyl, the flavoring chemical associated with bronchiolitis obliterans ("Popcorn Lung"). We analyzed chemical emissions from 13 JUUL pod flavors. Diacetyl and methylglyoxal was detected in 100% of samples with median concentration (ra…
