Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

5.5K
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand  RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

1.6K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Social Facilitation01:04

Social Facilitation

33.6K
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Conjugated Proteins02:50

Conjugated Proteins

19.7K
Simple proteins and protein complexes contain only amino acids. In contrast, many other proteins, called conjugated proteins, covalently bond with non-protein moieties.
Nucleoproteins are protein complexes that contain nucleic acids, categorized as deoxyribonucleoproteins (DNPs) or ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) respectively. The nucleosome is a typical example of a DNP where nuclear DNA is associated with histone proteins. The major antigen for the Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV is an RNP that is critical...

    Summary

    A SARS-CoV-2 testing protocol for combat sports events resulted in a low positivity rate of 0.516%. This plan ensured the safe continuation of 28 major events during the pandemic.

    Area of Science:

    • Sports Neurology
    • Infectious Disease Management
    • Public Health in Sports

    Background:

    • Combat sports present unique challenges for communicable disease transmission control.
    • Sports neurologists play a key role in managing the safety of athletes and staff during events.
    • The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the development of specific protocols for sporting events.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a SARS-CoV-2 testing protocol for combat sports.
    • To determine the positivity rate among athletes and staff in these events.
    • To ensure the safe management and continuation of combat sports during a pandemic.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized PCR testing via nasal swabs upon arrival for all participants.
    • Implemented quarantine measures until test results were available.

  • Conducted retesting within 72 hours of events and managed positive cases through off-site isolation.

    • Main Results:

    • A total of 8,135 tests were conducted between July 2020 and April 2021.
    • 42 positive SARS-CoV-2 tests were identified among 1,649 subjects.
    • The overall SARS-CoV-2 positivity rate for the events was 0.516%.

    Conclusions:

    • An effective SARS-CoV-2 protocol was designed and implemented for combat sports.
    • The protocol facilitated the safe execution of 28 major combat sports events.
    • The developed protocol can serve as a model for managing future communicable disease outbreaks in sports.
