Quantifying the impact of physical distance measures on the transmission of COVID-19 in the UK
BMC Medicine, 2020 Background To mitigate and slow the spread of COVID-19, many countries have adopted unprecedented physical distancing policies, including the UK. We evaluate whether these measures might be sufficient to control the epidemic by estimating their impact on

Spatio-temporal epidemic modelling using additive-multiplicative intensity models [PDF]
, 2008 An extension of the stochastic susceptible-infectious-recovered (SIR) model is proposed in order to accommodate a regression context for modelling infectious disease surveillance data. The proposal is based on a multivariate counting process specified by

Risk of foot-and-mouth disease spread due to sole occupancy authorities and linked cattle holdings [PDF]
, 2012 Livestock movements in Great Britain are well recorded, have been extensively analysed with respect to their role in disease spread, and have been used in real time to advise governments on the control of infectious diseases.

Cellular models of Batten disease
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 2020 The Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses (NCL), otherwise known as Batten disease, are a group of neurodegenerative diseases caused by mutations in 13 known genes. All except one NCL is autosomal recessive in inheritance, with similar aetiology and characterised by the accumulation of autofluorescent storage material in the lysosomes of cells.

Parathyroid Diseases and Animal Models [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2012 CIRCULATING CALCIUM AND PHOSPHATE ARE TIGHTLY REGULATED BY THREE HORMONES: the active form of vitamin D (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D), fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23, and parathyroid hormone (PTH). PTH acts to stimulate a rapid increment in serum calcium and has a crucial role in calcium homeostasis. Major target organs of PTH are kidney and bone.
