Intra-Arterial Mechanical Thrombectomy: An Effective Treatment for Ischemic Stroke Caused by Endocarditis

open access: yesCase Reports in Neurology, 2016
Patients with stroke secondary to infectious endocarditis have a high in-hospital morbidity and mortality, with only one-third becoming functionally independent.

Ectopic thyroid carcinoma in the left atrium in a horse

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary A 25‐year‐old Irish sport horse was presented for investigation of a 7‐day history of apathy and lethargy. Clinical examination revealed tachycardia, tachypnoea, distended, pulsating jugular veins and ventral oedema. Serum biochemistry showed azotaemia.

Discospondylitis as a consequence of jugular vein septic thrombophlebitis in a Standardbred gelding

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary This report describes the identification of C7‐T1 discospondylitis on myelography and confirmed on postmortem computed tomography and necropsy in a 4‐year‐old Standardbred gelding as the consequence of jugular vein catheterisation and secondary septic thrombophlebitis. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from both sites.

Spread of infectious diseases through clustered populations [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2008
Networks of person-person contacts form the substrate along which infectious diseases spread. Most network-based studies of the spread focus on the impact of variations in degree (the number of contacts an individual has). However, other effects such as clustering, variations in infectiousness or susceptibility, or variations in closeness of contacts ...

Endogenous Bacterial Endophthalmitis Complicating Hemodialysis Catheter‐Related Sepsis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

open access: yesHemodialysis International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Endogenous endophthalmitis is an infrequent yet severe complication of hemodialysis catheter‐related sepsis. In this report, we present a case of endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis in a patient with hemodialysis catheter‐related sepsis.

Using runs of homozygosity to detect genomic regions associated with susceptibility to infectious and metabolic diseases in dairy cows under intensive farming conditions [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are contiguous stretches of homozygous genome which likely reflect transmission from common ances- tors and can be used to track the inheritance of haplotypes of interest. In the present paper, ROH were extracted from 50K SNPs and used to detect regions of the genome associated with susceptibility to diseases in a population ...

Survivorship following myocardial infarction in a contemporary Australian cohort: defining cardiac versus non‐cardiac mortality

open access: yesInternal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Aims Progress in the management of myocardial infarction (MI) has led to reductions in cardiac mortality. The aim of this study was to describe the temporal trends in the relative proportions of cardiac death (CD) and non‐cardiac death (NCD) in an Australian cohort with MI following in‐hospital stay, then at 6 and 12 months as ...

Intervention Strategies for Epidemics: Does Ignoring Time Delay Lead to Incorrect Predictions? [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
Our paper investigates distributions of exposed and infectious time periods in an epidemic model and how applying a disease control strategy affects the model's accuracy. While ordinary differential equations are widely used for their simplicity, they incorporate an exponential distribution for time spent exposed or infectious.
