Burden of Clostridium difficile infection in the United States.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2015 BACKGROUND The magnitude and scope of Clostridium difficile infection in the United States continue to evolve. METHODS In 2011, we performed active population- and laboratory-based surveillance across 10 geographic areas in the United States to ...

Vaccination with ALVAC and AIDSVAX to prevent HIV-1 infection in Thailand.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2009 BACKGROUND The development of a safe and effective vaccine against the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is critical to pandemic control. METHODS In a community-based, randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled efficacy trial ...

Numerical considerations about the SIR epidemic model with infection age [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 We analyse the infection-age-dependent SIR model from a numerical point of view. First, we present an algorithm for calculating the solution the infection-age-structured SIR model without demography of the background host. Second, we examine how and under which conditions, the conventional SIR model (without infection-age) serves as a practical ...

Helicobacter pylori infection and the risk of gastric carcinoma.
New England Journal of Medicine, 1991 BACKGROUND Infection with Helicobacter pylori has been linked with chronic atrophic gastritis, an inflammatory precursor of gastric adenocarcinoma. In a nested case-control study, we explored whether H.

Initiation of Antiretroviral Therapy in Early Asymptomatic HIV Infection.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2015 BACKGROUND Data from randomized trials are lacking on the benefits and risks of initiating antiretroviral therapy in patients with asymptomatic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection who have a CD4+ count of more than 350 cells per cubic millimeter.

Helicobacter pylori infection and the development of gastric cancer.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2001 BACKGROUND Although many studies have found an association between Helicobacter pylori infection and the development of gastric cancer, many aspects of this relation remain uncertain.

Functional central limit theorems for epidemic models with varying infectivity [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 In this paper, we prove functional central limit theorems (FCLTs) for a stochastic epidemic model with varying infectivity and general infectious periods recently introduced in Forien, Pang and Pardoux (2020).The infectivity process (total force of infection at each time) is composed of the independent infectivity random functions of each infectious ...

SIS Epidemic Spreading with Heterogeneous Infection Rates [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 In this work, we aim to understand the influence of the heterogeneity of infection rates on the Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) epidemic spreading. Employing the classic SIS model as the benchmark, we study the influence of the independently identically distributed infection rates on the average fraction of infected nodes in the metastable state.

Infected surfaces of vehicles as possible way of people's infection by bird flu pathogenic culture [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 Possible variant of people's infection by bird flu pathogenic culture in passing of everyday infection is presented in the work: through the contact of open parts of the skin with infected surfaces of the vehicle, that is the sequent of the reused water, which contains all species spectrum of pathogen accumulated on the urban areas, used in process of ...
