Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2019 Background Gastrointestinal diseases are prevalent in dogs, and probiotics could provide safe alternatives to conventional treatments. Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of probiotics when used in the prevention or treatment of gastrointestinal ...

Bacteria display optimal transport near surfaces -- bacteria as intermittent active chiral particles: trapped by hydrodynamics, escaping by adhesion [PDF]
Perez Ipina et al., Nat. Phys. 15, 610-615 (2019), 2019 The near-surface swimming patterns of bacteria are strongly determined by the hydrodynamic interactions between bacteria and the surface, which trap bacteria in smooth circular trajectories that lead to inefficient surface exploration. Here, we show by combining experiments and a data-driven mathematical model that surface exploration of ...

Motion-based Camera Localization System in Colonoscopy Videos [PDF]
Medical image analysis. 2021 Oct 1;73:102180, 2020 Optical colonoscopy is an essential diagnostic and prognostic tool for many gastrointestinal diseases, including cancer screening and staging, intestinal bleeding, diarrhea, abdominal symptom evaluation, and inflammatory bowel disease assessment. Automated assessment of colonoscopy is of interest considering the subjectivity present in qualitative ...

Modeling between-farm transmission dynamics of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus: characterizing the dominant transmission routes [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The role of transportation vehicles, pig movement between farms, proximity to infected premises, and feed deliveries has not been fully considered in the dissemination dynamics of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). This has limited efforts for disease control and elimination restricting the development of risk-based resource allocation to the most

A New Bat-HKU2–like Coronavirus in Swine, China, 2017
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017 We identified from suckling piglets with diarrhea in China a new bat-HKU2–like porcine coronavirus (porcine enteric alphacoronavirus). The GDS04 strain of this coronavirus shares high aa identities (>90%) with the reported bat-HKU2 strains in ...

A rare case of clostridium difficile infection-associated reactive arthritis [PDF]
, 2018 Clostridium difficile is an uncommon cause of reactive arthritis in children. We herein present a rare case of C. difficile infection-associated reactive arthritis (CDIAReA) in a child, who developed severe diarrhea and a knee effusion following a course

Causal inference for continuous-time processes when covariates are observed only at discrete times [PDF]
Annals of Statistics 2011, Vol. 39, No. 1, 131-173, 2011 Most of the work on the structural nested model and g-estimation for causal inference in longitudinal data assumes a discrete-time underlying data generating process. However, in some observational studies, it is more reasonable to assume that the data are generated from a continuous-time process and are only observable at discrete time points.

Determinants of Childhood Zoonotic Enteric Infections in a Semirural Community of Quito, Ecuador. [PDF]
, 2020 Domestic animals in the household environment have the potential to affect a child's carriage of zoonotic enteric pathogens and risk of diarrhea. This study examines the risk factors associated with pediatric diarrhea and carriage of zoonotic enteric ...

Efficient Nonparametric Estimation of Stochastic Policy Effects with Clustered Interference [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Interference occurs when a unit's treatment (or exposure) affects another unit's outcome. In some settings, units may be grouped into clusters such that it is reasonable to assume that interference, if present, only occurs between individuals in the same cluster, i.e., there is clustered interference.
