Multiple Infectious Complications in a Severely Injured Patient with Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Important Innate Immune Response Genes [PDF]
Trauma is a major public health problem worldwide. Infectious complications, sepsis, and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) remain important causes for morbidity and mortality in patients who survive the initial trauma.

Rational Conformal Field Theories and Complex Multiplication [PDF]
We study the geometric interpretation of two dimensional rational conformal field theories, corresponding to sigma models on Calabi-Yau manifolds. We perform a detailed study of RCFT's corresponding to T^2 target and identify the Cardy branes with ...

Polymorphism in ficolin-1 (FCN1) gene is associated with an earlier onset of type 1 diabetes mellitus in children and adolescents from northeast Brazil [PDF]
10siFicolins are innate immune proteins able to activate the complement system by the lectin pathway. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of FCN1 and FCN2 genes, encoding for ficolin 1 and 2, have been related to the susceptibility to infectious and ...

Extracellular vesicle proteomics uncovers energy metabolism, complement system, and endoplasmic reticulum stress response dysregulation postexercise in males with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome. [PDF]
EVs were isolated from plasma of ME/CFS patients and healthy controls at baseline, and 15 min and 24 h postexercise. Untargeted proteomics revealed dysregulation in energy metabolism, the complement system, and the endoplasmic reticulum stress response. Changes in EV protein levels postexercise are associated with post‐exertional malaise.

The Lectin Pathway of Complement Activation Is a Critical Component of the Innate Immune Response to Pneumococcal Infection [PDF]
The complement system plays a key role in host defense against pneumococcal infection. Three different pathways, the classical, alternative and lectin pathways, mediate complement activation.
