Factors Affecting Recollapse of the Augmented Vertebrae After Percutaneous Vertebral Augmentation: A Prospective Study

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
To investigate the relevant factors of augmented vertebrae recollapse after percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). Intervertebral cleft (IVC) and those with PVP intervention are at higher risk of recollapse.

Forcing versus feedback: epidemic malaria and monsoon rains in northwest India. [PDF]

, 2010
Malaria epidemics in regions with seasonal windows of transmission can vary greatly in size from year to year. A central question has been whether these interannual cycles are driven by climate, are instead generated by the intrinsic dynamics of the ...

Family Dispute Resolution in Australia: The Under‐Servicing of Indigenous, Migrant and Refugee Families Experiencing Family Violence

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Improving access to legal services for Indigenous, migrant and refugee women is critical to addressing family violence. In this context, Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) has long been discussed as a solution for separating families. This paper presents key findings of a research evaluation of an Australian Government $8.37 million pilot project

Unifying Epidemic Models With Mixtures

IEEE Transactions on Signal and Information Processing over Networks
The COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized the need for a robust understanding of epidemic models. Current models of epidemics are classified as either mechanistic or non-mechanistic: mechanistic models make explicit assumptions on the dynamics of disease, whereas non-mechanistic models make assumptions on the form of observed time series. Here, we introduce

Research progress on biomarkers of traumatic brain injury

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Traumatic brain injury: From primary insult to secondary neuroinflammation and degeneration. Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common disorder of the nervous system and has become a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, imposing a substantial burden on patients and their social circles. Its main symptoms include dyskinesia, language

Advances and perspectives in animal models of human hepatitis A virus

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Following HAV infection, humans, non‐human primates, and Ifnar1−/− mice develop characteristic manifestations of hepatitis A, including fecal viral shedding, elevated serum ALT levels, and inflammatory cell infiltration in the liver. In contrast, HAV‐infected human liver chimeric mice exhibit fecal viral shedding but do not develop clinical features of

Epidemic Models [PDF]

, 2011
Communicable diseases such as measles, influenza, and tuberculosis are a fact of life. We will be concerned with both epidemics, which are sudden outbreaks of a disease, and endemic situations, in which a disease is always present. The AIDS epidemic, the recent SARS epidemic, recurring influenza pandemics, and outbursts of diseases such as the Ebola ...
