Acyclovir Therapy Reduces the CD4+ T Cell Response against the Immunodominant pp65 Protein from Cytomegalovirus in Immune Competent Individuals. by Annette Pachnio, Jusnara Begum, Ashini Fox, Paul Moss

“…The CMV-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell immune response can comprise between 10 and 50% of the T cell pool within peripheral blood and there is concern that this may impair immunity to other pathogens. Elderly individuals with the highest magnitude of CMV-specific immune response have been demonstrated to be at increased risk of mortality and there is increasing interest in interventions that may serve to moderate this. …”

Cardiopulmonary bypass associated acute kidney injury: better understanding and better prevention by Xutao Yang, Li Zhu, Hong Pan, Yi Yang

“…Finally, we explore current interventions aimed at preventing and attenuating renal impairment related to CPB, and presenting these measures from three perspectives: (1) avoiding CPB to eliminate the fundamental impact on renal function; (2) optimizing CPB by adjusting equipment parameters, optimizing surgical procedures, or using improved materials to mitigate kidney damage; (3) employing pharmacological or interventional measures targeting pathogenic factors.…”

The i‐gel® supraglottic airway device compared to endotracheal intubation as the initial prehospital advanced airway device: A natural experiment during the COVID‐19 pandemic by Daniel B. Levi, Joris Hoogendoorn, Shenae Samuels, Lindsay Maguire, Ruben Troncoso, Scott Gunn, Matthew Katz, Christine VanDillen, Susan A. Miller, Jay L. Falk, Steven H. Katz, Linda Papa

“…Conclusion In this natural experiment, the SGA performed significantly better than ETI in first‐pass airway device placement success and was significantly faster in achieving first‐pass success, and overall airway placement, thus potentially reducing exposure to respiratory pathogens. Practical real‐world studies can offer important information about implementation of prehospital interventions, particularly in community settings and in systems with a low frequency of tracheal intubations.…”
