Long-term survival (≥2 years) in subacute sclerosing panencephalitis: a systematic review of prolonged survivors. (PubMed, Encephalitis) - "Reported factors associated with improved survival included slower disease progression, older age at onset, earlier stage at diagnosis, and use of therapies such as inosine pranobex and interferon. SSPE survival outcomes show marked heterogeneity. Although prolonged survival occurs in some, most patients have poor outcomes, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and the need for effective therapies."

Beneficial immunomodulatory and hematological effects of bifidobacterium and lactobacillus probiotics in canine coronavirus vaccine induction in a murine model. (PubMed, Open Vet J) - "Twenty-four mice were randomly divided into the following four groups: control, CCoV induction, CCoV induction + isoprinosine, and CCoV induction + probiotics...The probiotic-treated group showed significant improvements in hematological parameters (leukocytes, hemoglobin, lymphocytes, and neutrophils) as well as reduced Casp-3 levels and increased IFN-γ expression compared with the other groups (p < 0.05).The T2 group exhibited reduced staining intensity in the mucosal and submucosal regions of the duodenum and alveolar structures of the lung, indicating the downregulation of apoptosis and inflammation compared with the C+ and T1 groups. Probiotic supplementation with Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus demonstrated beneficial immunomodulatory and hematological effects in a murine CCoV vaccine model, supporting their potential role as adjuncts in CoV vaccination strategies."

Our Experience with Combination Therapy and it’s Outcomes in Pediatric Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis: A Retrospective Case Series (AAN 2026) - "All of them received monthly doses of intrathecal interferon alpha-2B (1.2 million IU), along with daily oral ribavirin (15 mg/kg), isoprinosine (50 mg/kg), and levamisole (2.5 mg/kg). Conclusions Combination therapy offered only transient benefit and failed to alter the trajectory of the disease. Our findings highlight the urgency of early diagnosis and reinforce the fact that measles vaccination is the only effective preventive strategy against SSPE."

A dual-branch graph neural network architecture for drug-target binding affinity prediction. (PubMed, Sci Rep) - "We evaluated the proposed model against 45 state-of-the-art drug and target encoding baselines across well known Davis and KIBA datasets.The Proposed Model demonstrates a quantitative improvement over the GCN model, achieving a reduction in MSE (33.98 vs. 35.24), a slightly higher Pearson index (76.49 vs. 76.19), and a better Concordance index (85.41 vs. 84.41), indicating superior performance in terms of both prediction accuracy and ranking, demonstrating superior accuracy and robustness for candidate screening and establishing a new reference point for cheminformatics tasks. To illustrate practical impact, we performed a case study on COVID-19 drug repurposing: the top-ranked drugs have been also found potential drugs including Imunovir and Remdesivir from existing antiviral drugs."
