Are people with aphasia (pwa) involved in the creation of quality of life and aphasia impact-related questionnaires? A scoping review

Charalambous, Marina ; Kambanaros, Maria ; Annoni, Jean-Marie

In: Brain Sciences, 2020, vol. 10, no. 10, p. 688

Background: Quality of Life (QoL) questionnaires are used to describe the impact of aphasia on stroke survivors’ life. People with aphasia (PWA) are traditionally excluded from research, potentially leading to a mismatch between the factors chosen in the tools and the realistic needs of PWA. The purpose of this review was to determine the direct involvement of PWA in the creation of QoL and...

Hernández-Castañeda, Maria Andrea ; Happ, Katharina ; Cattalani, Filippo ; Wallimann, Alexandra ; Blanchard, Marianne ; Fellay, Isabelle ; Scolari, Brigitte ; Lannes, Nils ; Mbagwu, Smart Ikechukwu ; Fellay, Benoît ; Filgueira, Luis ; Mantel, Pierre-Yves ; Walch, Michael

In: The Journal of Immunology, 2020, vol. 204, no. 7, p. 1798–1809

Plasmodium spp., the causative agent of malaria, have a complex life cycle. The exponential growth of the parasites during the blood stage is responsible for almost all malaria-associated morbidity and mortality. Therefore, tight immune control of the intraerythrocytic replication of the parasite is essential to prevent clinical malaria. Despite evidence that the particular lymphocyte subset ...

Influenza vaccination induces NK-cell-mediated type-II IFN response that regulates humoral immunity in an IL-6-dependent manner

Farsakoglu, Yagmur ; Palomino-Segura, Miguel ; Latino, Irene ; Zanaga, Silvia ; Chatziandreou, Nikolaos ; Pizzagalli, Diego Ulisse ; Rinaldi, Andrea ; Bolis, Marco ; Sallusto, Federica ; Stein, Jens V. ; Gonzalez, Santiago F.

In: Cell reports, 2019, vol. 26, no. 9, p. 2307-2315.e5

The role of natural killer (NK) cells in the immune response against vaccines is not fully understood. Here, we examine the function of infiltrated NK cells in the initiation of the inflammatory response triggered by inactivated influenza virus vaccine in the draining lymph node (LN). We observed that, following vaccination, NK cells are recruited to the interfollicular and medullary areas of...
