Each spike protein is made up of a head and a stalk. The head binds with a receptor on the host cell, then an enzyme known as a protease exposes a fusion peptide in the stalk, which is a key trigger for membrane fusion.
When viruses mutate, the spike protein head changes. Whittaker would like to create vaccines for the viruses he studies. With the coronavirus, though, the stalk is easier to target by itself.

Sometimes key physical abnormalities in patients with FUO are or seem so subtle that repeated physical examinations may be necessary to suggest causes eg, by detecting new adenopathy, heart murmurs, rash, or nodularity and weak pulsations in the temporal artery.
Localizing symptoms or signs that were not present, not detected, or not managed during previous examinations are discovered. More commonly, evaluation detects only nonspecific findings that occur in many different causes of FUO, but it identifies risk factors that can help guide testing eg, travel to an endemic area, exposure to animal, insect, or tick vectors.
Sometimes risk factors are less specific but may suggest a class of illness; eg, weight loss without anorexia is more consistent with infection than cancer, which usually causes anorexia. Possible causes should be investigated further. In the most difficult scenario, patients have only nonspecific findings and no or multiple risk factors, making a logical, sequential approach to testing essential.
Initial testing is used to narrow the diagnostic possibilities and guide subsequent testing. Previous test results, particularly for cultures, are reviewed. Cultures for some organisms may require a long time to become positive. For example, housebound older patients with headache would not be tested for tick-borne infections or malaria, but those disorders should be considered in younger travelers who have hiked in an endemic area. Older patients require evaluation for giant cell arteritis; younger patients do not.
Urinalysis, urine culture, and chest x-ray, usually already done, are repeated only if findings indicate that they should be. Any available fluid or material from abnormal areas identified during the evaluation is cultured eg, for bacteria, mycobacteria, fungi, viruses, or specific fastidious bacteria as indicated.
Organism-specific tests, such as polymerase chain reaction assay and serologic titers acute and convalescent , are helpful mainly when guided by clinical suspicion, not done in a shotgun approach. Serologic tests, such as antinuclear antibody ANA and rheumatoid factor RF , are done to screen for rheumatologic disorders. Imaging tests are guided by symptoms and signs. Typically, areas of discomfort should be imaged—eg, in patients with back pain, MRI of the spine to check for infection or tumor ; in patients with abdominal pain, CT of the abdomen.
However, CT of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis should be considered to check for adenopathy and occult abscesses even when patients do not have localizing symptoms or signs. If blood cultures are positive or heart murmurs or peripheral signs suggest endocarditis, echocardiography is done. Radionuclide scanning with indium—labeled granulocytes may help localize some infectious or inflammatory processes.
This technique has generally fallen out of favor because it is thought to contribute very little to diagnosis, but some reports suggest that it provides a higher diagnostic yield than CT. Biopsy may be required if an abnormality is suspected in tissue that can be biopsied eg, liver, bone marrow, skin, pleura, lymph nodes, intestine, muscle. Biopsy specimens should be evaluated by histopathologic examination and cultured for bacteria, fungi, viruses, and mycobacteria or sent for molecular polymerase chain reaction diagnostic testing.
Muscle biopsy or skin biopsy of rashes may confirm vasculitis. Bilateral temporal artery biopsy may confirm giant cell arteritis in older patients with unexplained erythrocyte sedimentation rate elevation.
This is all the more surprising since a balance between the various types of bacteria in the body is crucial for health, and also because phages attack specific bacteria, which could in turn throw this equilibrium severely off-kilter. But there is much more to phages as a factor in human health, as Dr. The team, which was headed by Prof. Friederike Hilbert of the Department for Farm Animals and Veterinary Public Health at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna, has created new insights by searching specifically for bacteriophages, which infect the well-known gut bacterium E.
This bacterium plays an important part in various illnesses and is widely regarded as the most common cause of hospital infections. Analysis of the samples brought another surprising fact to light: "Almost two-thirds of the samples that contained phages against. Hilbert explained.
In view of these findings, the team also examined the effectiveness of standard hospital disinfectants against the isolated phages. Hilbert commented: "Our results showed that not all disinfectants are capable of reliably destroying phages. Overall, the basic research performed by the international team, in which KL Krems participated, has contributed to a clearer understanding of the occurrence and prevalence of phages in the human body, and the ways in which they are related.
KL Krems' involvement in this research also reflects the university's focus on research into niche subjects that are highly significant for the healthcare system. Explore further.
