Vascular dysfunction is a hallmark associated with disease onset in dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. In addition to direct viral damage, immune responses to dengue virus (DV) infection may also underlie the pathogenesis of disease. We have proposed a mechanism of molecular mimicry in which Abs directed against DV nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) cross-react with endothelial cell...

To increase the positioning accuracy of Distance Vector-Hop (DV-Hop) algorithm in non-uniform networks, an improved DV-Hop based on RSSI correction is proposed. The new first quantizes hops between two nodes by ratio value and benchmark value, divides continuously, calculates average hop distance according to Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) criterion best index quantized hops, then adds matchi...

OBJECTIVE When workers experience domestic violence (DV) at home, impacts are felt in the workplace; however, little research is available on this topic. METHODS We conducted an online survey regarding the impacts of DV at work. RESULTS A total of 8429 people completed the survey. More than a third of respondents reported experiencing DV; among them, more than a third reported that DV affec...

Dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome are highly infectious diseases caused by dengue virus (DV). DV non-structural protein 3 (NS3) is known to possess ATPase, helicase, and protease activity that is a constitutive part of the replication complex of DV. In this study, we discuss the cloning, expression, and purification of the DV-2 NS3 protein to immunize mice by intra...

According to recent surveys, there is a high prevalence of domestic violence (DV) in Chile. A systematic review was conducted in PubMed, Scielo, and Lilacs with the MesH terms "Chile", "Mental Health", "Health", "Domestic Violence", to explore the impact of DV on health in Chile. Eleven studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Two studies were prospective, exploring the influence of DV on mate...

Ductus venosus (DV) sparing means the maintenance of blood flow through the DV following reduction of liver venous blood supply during fetal hypoxia. The present study compared the reactions of the isthmic portion of the DV and intrahepatic veins (IHVs) to catecholamines in vitro. Vessel rings of 1 mm width and 3 mm diameter were obtained from 17 fetal sheep (88-136 days gestational age, median...

We present a theory for the differential shot noise, $dS/dV$, as measured via shot-noise scanning tunneling spectroscopy, and conductance, $dI/dV$, into Majorana zero modes (MZMs) in putative topological superconductor ${\mathrm{FeSe}}_{0.45}{\mathrm{Te}}_{0.55}$. demonstrate that chiral edge near domain walls, well MZMs localized vortex cores at end of defect lines, $dS/dV$ vanishes whenever $...

Chlorophyll biosynthetic heterogeneity is rooted mainly in parallel divinyl (DV) and monovinyl (MV) biosynthetic routes interconnected by 4-vinyl reductases (4VRs) that convert DV tetrapyrroles to MV tetrapyrroles by conversion of the vinyl group at position 4 of the macrocycle to ethyl. What is not clear at this stage is whether the various 4VR activities are catalyzed by one enzyme of broad s...

OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence, 1-year prevalence, and cumulative prevalence of domestic violence (DV) among female emergency department (ED) patients. DESIGN Descriptive written survey. SETTING Two teaching EDs, two hospital walk-in clinics, and one private hospital ED in Denver, Colo. PARTICIPANTS Of 833 women presenting during 30 randomly selected 4-hour time blocks, 648 (78%) ag...
