Information-related changes in contact patterns may trigger oscillations in the endemic prevalence of infectious diseases [PDF]

Journal of Theoretical Biology 256(3):473-478 (2009), 2013
It is well known that behavioral changes in contact patterns may significantly affect the spread of an epidemic outbreak. Here we focus on simple endemic models for recurrent epidemics, by modelling the social contact rate as a function of the available information on the present and past disease prevalence.

The Mystery of Michelangelo Buonarroti’s Goiter

Rambam Maimonides Medical Journal, 2016
Whilst painting the vault of the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo Buonarroti left an autographical sketch that revealed a prominence at the front of his hyper-extended neck. This image was recently diagnosed as goiter. The poet Michelangelo in a sonnet dated

FAKTOR DETERMINAN KEJADIAN GONDOK DI DAERAH PANTAI JAWA TIMUR

Jurnal Kesehatan Masyarakat Andalas, 2009
The Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) is one of the serious nutritional issues in Indonesia. The survey of IDD in Province of East Java, found that Total Goiter Rate (TGR) in 2003 was higher than 1998 (24.8% and 16.3%) respectively). Iodine deficiency is

Endemic Infrared Divergences in QED3 at Finite Temperature [PDF]

Phys.Lett.B697:164-167,2011, 2010
We demonstrate that massless QED in three dimensions contains endemic infrared divergences. It is argued that these divergences do not affect observables; furthermore, it is possible to choose a gauge that renders the theory finite.

Thiocyanate in excess develops goiter followed by auto immune thyroid diseases even after effective salt iodization in a rural community of north east India

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
Purpose: Salt iodization in Manipur of north-east India failed to prevent endemic goiter, therefore an in depth study carried out to evaluate thyroid functions of goitrous subjects in a randomly selected region.

Effectiveness of protected areas in the Caucasus Mountains in preventing rangeland degradation

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 3, June 2025.
Abstract As land use intensifies globally, it increasingly exerts pressure on protected areas. Despite open, nonforested landscapes comprising up to 40% of protected areas globally, assessments have predominately focused on forests, overlooking the major pressures on rangelands from livestock overgrazing and land conversion.

Evaluation of Treatment Response and Survival Outcomes in Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer Patients Following Surgery With and Without Other Treatment Modalities: A Systematic Review

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a rare type of malignancy ranking among the most aggressive diseases globally, with an extremely poor prognosis. No optimal standardized treatment has been established yet to promote ATC's prognosis and increase the patients' median survival.

Rescue of endemic states in interconnected networks with adaptive coupling [PDF]

Sci Rep 6, 29342 (2016), 2015
We study the Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible model of epidemic spreading on two layers of networks interconnected by adaptive links, which are rewired at random to avoid contacts between infected and susceptible nodes at the interlayer. We find that the rewiring reduces the effective connectivity for the transmission of the disease between layers, and

Fluorescence characteristics of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in bottled drinking water of different countries: A potential risk to public health

Water Environment Research, Volume 97, Issue 4, April 2025.
Fluorescence dissolved organic matters (DOM) in bottled drinking water from different countries using fluorescence spectroscopy were characterized. The identified microbial risk because of DOM presence in bottled water can utterly cause severe health problems and economic loss, and raise questions on the efficiency of drinking water treatment ...
