Areas like Bukit Besar, Kuala Nerus, and Batu Rakit were identified as having the highest risk, with large areas of extremely hazardous conditions. …”

Maternal infections during pregnancy and the risk of childhood leukaemia in the offspring: Evidence from large-scale cohort studies by He, J

“…In the I4C analysis, maternal urinary tract infection (HR, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.10-2.58) and respiratory tract infection (HR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.05-2.26) were associated with increased risk of childhood leukaemia. Influenza-like illness showed a similar pattern but with less precise estimates (HR, 1.62; 95% CI, 0.76-3.42). …”

Molecular characterisation of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus pseudintermedius in cats, dogs and pet owners in a Veterinary Hospital by Afshar, Mohammad Farzad

Tumor cell-intrinsic signals promoting tolerance and adaptation to oncogenic kinase inhibition by Flower, Cameron Timothy

“…Using commonly prescribed TK inhibitors (TKIs), I show that TK genetic status generally predicts whether or not a cell line will show any response to genotype-matched TKI (GM-TKI), but is insufficient to predict drug tolerance, the ability of a cell line to sustain proliferation under drug. …”

Structural mimicry of the dengue virus envelope glycoprotein revealed by the crystallographic study of an idiotype–anti-idiotype Fab complex by Wong, Yee Hwa, Goh, Boon Chong, Lim, She Yah, Teo, En Wei, Lim, Angeline P. C., Dedon, Pete C., Hanson, Brendon J., MacAry, Paul A., Lescar, Julien

“…Structural mimicry of the DENV E epitope by the E1 combining site is achieved via the formation of numerous interactions with heavy chain complementarity domain regions (CDRs) of HM14c10, while fewer interactions are observed with its light chain than for the E protein. We show that E1 can be utilized to detect HM14c10-like antibodies in sera from patients who recovered from DENV-1, infection suggesting that this is a public (common) idiotype. …”
