TL;DR: Evaluation of the existing WHO dengue classification across all age groups and a wide geographical range and a revised evidence‐based classification that would better reflect clinical severity are evaluated.
Abstract: OBJECTIVE To evaluate the existing WHO dengue classification across all age groups and a wide geographical range and to develop a revised evidence-based classification that would better reflect clinical severity. METHODS We followed suspected dengue cases daily in seven countries across South-east Asia and Latin America and then categorised them into one of three intervention groups describing disease severity according to the overall level of medical and nursing support required. Using a pre-defined analysis plan, we explored the clinical and laboratory profiles characteristic of these intervention categories and presented the most promising options for a revised classification scheme to an independent group of WHO dengue experts for consideration. Potential warning signs were also evaluated by comparing contemporaneous data of patients who progressed to severe disease with the data of those who did not. RESULTS A total of 2259 patients were recruited during 2006-2007 and 230 (13%) of the 1734 laboratory-confirmed patients required major intervention. Applying the existing WHO system, 47/210 (22%) of patients with shock did not fulfil all the criteria for dengue haemorrhagic fever. However, no three-tier revision adequately described the different severity groups either. Inclusion of readily discernible complications (shock/severe vascular leakage and/or severe bleeding and/or severe organ dysfunction) was necessary to devise a system that identified patients requiring major intervention with sufficient sensitivity and specificity to be practically useful. Only a small number of subjects (5%) progressed to severe disease while under observation; several warning signs were identified, but much larger studies are necessary to fully characterize features associated with disease progression. CONCLUSIONS Based on these results, a revised classification system comprised of two entities, 'Dengue' and 'Severe Dengue', was proposed and has now been incorporated into the new WHO guidelines.

TL;DR: In vitro antiviral experiments showed that baicalin as the main metabolite of baicalein exerting in vitro anti-DENV activity, and showed anti-adsorption effect with IC50 = 18.07 ± 0.2 μg/ml.
Abstract: Baicalin, a flavonoid derived from Scutellaria baicalensis, is the main metabolite of baicalein released following administration in different animal models and human. We previously reported the antiviral activity of baicalein against dengue virus (DENV). Here, we examined the anti-DENV properties of baicalin in vitro, and described the inhibitory potentials of baicalin at different steps of DENV-2 (NGC strain) replication. Our in vitro antiviral experiments showed that baicalin inhibited virus replication at IC50 = 13.5 ± 0.08 μg/ml with SI = 21.5 following virus internalization by Vero cells. Baicalin exhibited virucidal activity against DENV-2 extracellular particles at IC50 = 8.74 ± 0.08 μg/ml and showed anti-adsorption effect with IC50 = 18.07 ± 0.2 μg/ml. Our findings showed that baicalin as the main metabolite of baicalein exerting in vitro anti-DENV activity. Further investigations on baicalein and baicalin to deduce its antiviral therapeutic effects are warranted.

TL;DR: A search for heavy, right-handed neutrinos in the left-right symmetric extensions of the standard model was performed by the CMS experiment as discussed by the authors, and the search was based on a sample of two lepton plus two jet events collected in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8.7 �
Abstract: A search for heavy, right-handed neutrinos, $$\mathrm {N}_{\ell }$$
(
$$\ell = \mathrm {e}, \mu $$
), and right-handed $$\mathrm {W}_{\mathrm {R}}$$
bosons, which arise in the left-right symmetric extensions of the standard model, has been performed by the CMS experiment. The search was based on a sample of two lepton plus two jet events collected in proton–proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8
$$\,\text {TeV}$$
corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7
$$\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$$
. For models with strict left-right symmetry, and assuming only one $$\mathrm {N}_{\ell }$$
flavor contributes significantly to the $$\mathrm {W}_{\mathrm {R}}$$
decay width, the region in the two-dimensional $$(M_{\mathrm {W}_{\mathrm {R}}}, M_{\mathrm {N}_{\ell }})$$
mass plane excluded at a 95 % confidence level extends to approximately $$M_{\mathrm {W}_{\mathrm {R}}} = 3.0\,\text {TeV} $$
and covers a large range of neutrino masses below the $$\mathrm {W}_{\mathrm {R}}$$
boson mass, depending on the value of $$M_{\mathrm {W}_{\mathrm {R}}}$$
. This search significantly extends the $$(M_{\mathrm {W}_{\mathrm {R}}}, M_{\mathrm {N}_{\ell }})$$
exclusion region beyond previous results.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the facts and prospects of biofuel production and utilization in developing countries to reduce environmental pollution and petro dependency and showed that the contribution of India and China in biofuel industry in production and utilisation can dramatically change worldwide biofuel market and leap forward in carbon cut as their automotive market is rapidly increasing with a souring proportional rise of GHG emissions.
