Parainfluenza virus 4, respiratory syncytial virus B and enterovirus were the most common viruses found in the clinical sample. These three infections resulted in 41 viruses detected in 15 subjects clinically, and eight infections detected in five people in the community.

RESULTS: Children were selected via convenience sampling from communities and a tertiary care center during spring 2017 in Ilorin, Nigeria.

Both Zanamivir concentrations experienced significant benefit in survival by the combination with carrageenan .

What was the purpose of this research?
[ "Title: Gain-of-Function Research: Ethical Analysis\nPassage: were published in 2012. Advocates of these studies/publications argued that they would improve surveillance of H5N1 in nature and facilitate development of vaccines that might be needed to protect against pandemic strains of the virus. Critics questioned the validity of claims about such benefits and argued that the studies might facilitate creation of biological weapons agents that could kill millions, or possibly even billions, of people.", "Title: Why language matters: insights and challenges in applying a social determination of health approach in a North-South collaborative research program\nPassage: serve as outcome to measure quantitatively. We therefore set out to build the infrastructural capacity, while promoting the use of the material, leaving rigorous evaluation to a future date. Traditional epidemiology would consider this study a failure; however, the research process itself brought together communities, non-governmental organizations, national government and international agencies, serving to raise the level of awareness and conferring some empowerment to serve as a basis for future challenges to detrimental social processes. Table 3 assessed this collaborative research project with respect to the 4 S framework.", "Title: Globalization and Health: developing the journal to advance the field\nPassage: review of all the articles that have been published to date. The purpose of this review was to identify strengths, trends and current gaps in research; highlight opportunities for strengthening existing research; and to propose upcoming areas of research, projected to be of increasing importance over the next ten years.", "Title: Gain-of-Function Research: Ethical Analysis\nPassage: Some argued that publishing studies like these in full detail provided ''recipes'' for especially dangerous potential biological weapons agents to would-be bioterrorists. Many who acknowledged such potential dangers, on the other hand, argued that benefits of publication outweighed risks involved." ]
