EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES DERIVED FROM PPRV-INFECTED CELLS ENHANCE SIGNALING LYMPHOCYTE ACTIVATION MOLECULAR (SLAM) RECEPTOR EXPRESSION AND FACILITATE VIRUS INFECTION.

Extracellular vesicles derived from PPRV-infected cells enhance signaling lymphocyte activation molecular (SLAM) receptor expression and facilitate virus infection.

Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) is an important pathogen that seriously influences the productivity of small ruminants worldwide.PPRV is lymphotropic in nature and SLAM was identified as the primary receptor for High Voltage Capacitor PPRV and other Morbilliviruses.Many viruses have been demonstrated to engage extracellular vesicles (EVs) t

Development of standard indicators to assess use of electronic health record systems implemented in low-and medium-income countries.

BackgroundElectronic Health Record Systems (EHRs) are being rolled out nationally in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) yet assessing actual system usage remains a challenge.We employed a nominal group technique (NGT) process to systematically develop high-quality indicators for evaluating actual usage of EHRs in LMICs.MethodsAn initial
