Global and local epidemiology of Group A Streptococcus indicates that naturally-acquired immunity is enduring and strain-specific [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The bacterium Group A Streptococcus (Streptococcus pyogenes, GAS) is a human-specific pathogen and a major cause of global morbidity and mortality. Despite decades of research our knowledge of GAS infection and immunity is incomplete, hampering vaccine design and other efforts to reduce disease prevalence.

Nosocomial infections in the intensive care units [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2006 Background/Aim. The risk for nosocomial infections (NIs) is 5-10 times higher in patients hospitalized in the Intensive Care Units (ICUs) than in patients staying in other wards.

When does humoral memory enhance infection? [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Antibodies and humoral memory are key components of the adaptive immune system. We consider and computationally model mechanisms by which humoral memory present at baseline might instead increase infection load; we refer to this effect as EI-HM (enhancement of infection by humoral memory). We first consider antibody dependent enhancement (ADE) in which

A Probabilistic Domain-knowledge Framework for Nosocomial Infection Risk Estimation of Communicable Viral Diseases in Healthcare Personnel: A Case Study for COVID-19 [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Hospital-acquired infections of communicable viral diseases (CVDs) are posing a tremendous challenge to healthcare workers globally. Healthcare personnel (HCP) is facing a consistent risk of hospital-acquired infections, and subsequently higher rates of morbidity and mortality.

In-hospital mortality analysis in patients with proximal femoral fracture operatively treated by hip arthroplasty procedure [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2016 Background/Aim. Hip fracture remains the leading cause of death in trauma among elderly population and is a great burden to national health services. In-patient death analysis is important to evaluate risk factors, make appropriate selection and

A new chaotic attractor in a basic multi-strain epidemiological model with temporary cross-immunity [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 An epidemic multi-strain model with temporary cross-immunity shows chaos, even in a previously unexpected parameter region. Especially dengue fever models with strong enhanced infectivity on secondary infection have previously shown deterministic chaos motivated by experimental findings of antibody-dependent-enhancement (ADE). Including temporary cross-
