This editorial discusses how the destinies of herpes simplex virus (HSV) and HIV have been intertwined. While HIV overtook public awareness in the 1980s, a new study finds that HSV-1 seroprevalence has declined in adolescents, leaving more vulnerable to genital HSV-1 infections from oral sex. This could lead to an explosion in genital HSV-1 infections and increased risk of neonatal herpes transmission, undermining public health gains against HIV. The lives of many infants may be impacted if we see more genital HSV-1 infections in young women.
ROLE OF VIRUSES IN PERIODONTAL DISEASES
This document discusses the role of viruses in periodontal diseases. It begins by introducing viruses and their structure. It then discusses several important virus families and examples of viruses that can cause oral infections, including herpesviruses like HSV-1, EBV, CMV; papillomaviruses; and picornaviruses. The document reviews the prevalence of herpesviruses detected in samples from patients with gingivitis, aggressive periodontitis, chronic periodontitis, and provides theories on how viruses like CMV may contribute to the pathogenesis of diseases like localized juvenile periodontitis.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases ...
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are a major public health problem in the United States and globally. An estimated 12 million new cases of STDs occur each year in the US, which has the highest rates among developed countries. STDs can cause serious health consequences like pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility. Groups most affected include adolescents, minority racial and ethnic groups, and those living in poverty with less access to healthcare. Effective treatment and prevention of STDs, including screening and partner treatment, can help reduce transmission.
SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are a major public health problem in the United States and globally. An estimated 12 million new cases of STDs occur each year in the U.S., with adolescents and minority groups having the highest rates. If left untreated, STDs can cause serious health consequences like pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, infertility, and can increase the risk of HIV transmission. The three most common causes of genital ulcers in the U.S. are herpes, syphilis, and chancroid, which can be difficult to distinguish based on clinical signs alone. Diagnostic testing is important for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Herpes Simplex Virus Research Paper
- The document discusses a case study of a female patient who developed generalized seizures postpartum due to Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) encephalitis without typical symptoms of fever or headache.
- Clinicians used various clinical tests and methods to identify the cause, determining it was HSV-1 encephalitis through MRI, EEG, and cerebral spinal fluid tests.
- The paper examines how HSV-1 infections can occur in the postpartum period due to physiological immunosuppression during pregnancy, increasing risk without common symptoms.

This document provides an overview of key concepts in communicable disease epidemiology. It defines epidemiology as the study of health-related states and events in populations. The epidemiologic triad shows that for a disease to occur there must be an agent, host, and environment. A communicable disease is one that can be directly or indirectly transmitted between humans or from animals/the environment to humans. Studying communicable disease epidemiology is important for understanding changes in disease patterns, discovering new infections, and investigating chronic diseases with potential infectious origins. The chain of infection involves a source/reservoir, mode of transmission, and susceptible host for a disease to spread.

Different environmental drivers of H5N1 outbreaks in poultry and wild birds
Different environmental drivers operate on HPAI H5N1 outbreaks in poultry and wild birds in Europe. The probability of HPAI H5N1 outbreaks in poultry increases in areas with a higher human population density and a shorter distance to lakes or wetlands.
This reflects areas where the location of farms or trade areas and habitats for wild birds overlap. In wild birds, HPAI H5N1 outbreaks mostly occurred in areas with increased NDVI and lower elevations, which are typically areas where food and shelter for wild birds are available. The association with migratory flyways has also been found in the intra-continental spread of the low pathogenic avian influenza virus in North American wild birds. These different environmental drivers suggest that different spread mechanisms operate.
Disease might spread to poultry via both poultry and wild birds, through direct (via other birds) or indirect (e.g. via contaminated environment) infection. Outbreaks in wild birds are mainly caused by transmission via wild birds alone, through sharing foraging areas or shelters. These findings are in contrast with a previous study, which did not find environmental differences between disease outbreaks in poultry and wild birds in Europe.
Looping hpv power point
This study examines the susceptibility of HPV 16 virions to various clinical disinfectants. It finds that HPV 16 is resistant to many commonly used disinfectants in medical settings, including glutaraldehyde and ortho-phthalaldehyde. This suggests non-sexual transmission of HPV may occur through contact with improperly disinfected medical instruments. Only bleach and a silver/peroxyacetic acid-based disinfectant were able to significantly reduce HPV infectivity. The findings help explain non-sexual acquisition of HPV and have implications for disinfection practices.

1) The document reviews current understanding of human-to-human transmission of Ebola virus, focusing on transmission routes and the virus's potential for adaptation.
2) Key transmission routes include direct contact with bodily fluids, droplets, and fomites contaminated with fluids. Sexual transmission is also a risk from survivors months after infection.
3) While the virus can cross species barriers, existing evidence suggests Ebola virus does not require further adaptation to infect and transmit between humans. Genetic changes observed during the 2014 outbreak did not increase pathogenicity or transmissibility.

Topic Human Papillomavirus and the Fight to Protect and Health.docx
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection that can cause genital warts and cancers. There are over 40 types of HPV, with 4 high-risk types that do not clear on their own and can cause cancer. HPV affects millions annually, with 360,000 cases of genital warts and 11,000 cases of cervical cancer in women each year. While both sexes are affected, women face more severe health consequences from HPV. Vaccines can protect against the high-risk HPV types but are most effective before sexual activity begins.

This document provides an introduction and literature review on malaria. It discusses the background of malaria, the mosquito and Plasmodium species that cause malaria, and their modes of transmission. Key points include: malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted via mosquito bites; the most common species are P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae, P. ovale, and P. knowlesi; the parasite has a complex life cycle between mosquitoes and humans; transmission occurs when an infected mosquito bites and injects sporozoites into the bloodstream.
Crimean-Congo-Hemorrhagic-Fever.ppt
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne viral disease characterized by fever and hemorrhage. It is caused by the CCHF virus and transmitted primarily through ticks of the genus Hyalomma. The virus infects a range of animals and is found across parts of Africa, Asia, and Europe. Most human cases result from tick bites, with 10,000 cases reported annually. While many infections are mild, the disease can progress to include hemorrhage, organ failure, and death in around 30% of cases. Treatment focuses on supportive care, while ribavirin's efficacy is uncertain.

They replicate by using the machinery of host cells, either resulting in cell lysis (lytic replication) or integrating their genetic material into the host genome (lysogenic replication). Viruses vary in their genetic material, hosts, size, capsid morphology, and whether they have an envelope. They are classified based on these characteristics as well as whether they have RNA or DNA. Examples of viruses discussed include retroviruses such as HIV and influenza viruses. Viruses can mutate rapidly and cause significant human, plant, and animal diseases.
RNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS.pptx
This document discusses the process of expressing genetic information through RNA and protein synthesis. It begins by defining key terms like genes, mRNA, tRNA, rRNA, transcription, and translation. It then explains the structures of DNA and RNA, the process of transcription which involves RNA polymerase copying DNA into mRNA, and the roles of introns and exons. The document further details the genetic code where codons on mRNA specify amino acids and the process of translation where tRNA brings amino acids to the ribosome to form a polypeptide chain. It concludes by discussing mutations that can occur and impact protein synthesis.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
