Does β-Glucan from Saccharomyces cerevisiae induce IFN-γ Production In Vivo in BALB/c Mice?
IFN-γ plays an important role in immunity against viral and bacterial infections. Our experiments have shown that β-glucan preparations enhance IFN-γ production in BALB/c mice and can be potentially used for immune system stimulation in mammals. Current results may be used to develop soluble β-glucan nutritional supplements.
The Sernbo score identifies patients at high risk of death in the 30 days following injury. This very simple  score could be used to direct extra early multidisciplinary input to high-risk patients on admission with an intracapsular hip fracture.
