TL;DR: These global influenza-associated respiratory mortality estimates are higher than previously reported, suggesting that previous estimates might have underestimated disease burden.

TL;DR: The results of the present study indicate that Trad-MN assays with direct exposure of intact plants is an appropriate method which enables to detect genotoxic effects of metal contaminated soils in situ and this simple and fast biomonitoring assays might be a valuable supplement to analytical analyses of contaminated soils.

TL;DR: The potential use of micronucleus assays in plants for the detection of genotoxic effects of heavy‐metal ions was investigated.

TL;DR: It was found that dual infections with non-RSV respiratory viruses induced peripheral blood mononuclear cell IFN-γ responses that mimic those of single infections, whereas coinfection with RSV was associated with reduced IFN -γ responses and a more severe clinical course of lower respiratory tract disease.

TL;DR: Positivity rates for atheroma samples varied between 0 and 60% for the different test methods, with the maximum concordant result for positivity being only 25% for one carotid artery sample.
