Superspreading and Heterogeneity in Epidemics [PDF]
Epidemic disease spreading is conventionally often modelled and analyzed by means of rate and diffusion equations, following the paradigms of well-controlled chemical reactions and diffusive dynamics in a test tube. Yet, serious worries that this suggestive and appealing similarity might be a false friend were already voiced by the pioneers of ...

Human Fallopian Tube Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Enhance Bone Regeneration in a Xenotransplanted Model
We have recently reported that human fallopian tubes, which are discarded during surgical procedures of women submitted to sterilization or hysterectomies, are a rich source of human fallopian tube mesenchymal stromal cells (htMSCs).

Variation of positiveness to enhance testing of specimens during an epidemic [PDF]
Rapid testing of appropriate specimens from patients suspected for a disease during an epidemic, such as the current Coronavirus outbreak, is of a great importance for the disease management and control. We propose a method to enhance processing large amounts of collected samples.

The influence of physiological flow development on popular wall shear stress metrics in an idealized curved artery [PDF]
We numerically investigate the influence of flow development on secondary flow patterns and subsequent wall shear stress distributions in a curved artery model, and we compute vascular metrics commonly used to assess variations in blood flow characteristics as it applies to arterial disease.

Contralaterally Enhanced Networks for Thoracic Disease Detection [PDF]
Identifying and locating diseases in chest X-rays are very challenging, due to the low visual contrast between normal and abnormal regions, and distortions caused by other overlapping tissues. An interesting phenomenon is that there exist many similar structures in the left and right parts of the chest, such as ribs, lung fields and bronchial tubes ...

Endogenously produced nitric oxide (NO) induces relaxation in smooth muscle in various organs. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a NO-mediated relaxation system exists in the human Fallopian tube.

Is Surgical Intervention for Ectopic Pregnancy in a Low Resource Set-Up Avoidable? [PDF]
Background - Ectopic pregnancy is one of the most common life threatening complications in the first trimester of pregnancy having significant adverse effects on future pregnancy outcome, particularly if salpingectomy is used as the modality of ...
