The contact process with semi-infected state on the complete graph [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
In this paper we are concerned with the contact process with semi-infected state on the complete graph $C_n$ with $n$ vertices. In our model, each vertex is in one of three states that `healthy', `semi-infected' or `wholly-infected'. Only wholly-infected vertices can infect others. A healthy vertex becomes semi-infected when being infected while a semi-

A mathematical model for the within-host (re)infection dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Interactions between SARS-CoV-2 and the immune system during infection are complex. However, understanding the within-host SARS-CoV-2 dynamics is of enormous importance, especially when it comes to assessing treatment options. Mathematical models have been developed to describe the within-host SARS-CoV-2 dynamics and to dissect the mechanisms ...

Rapid Diagnostic Testing for Infective Endocarditis and Myocarditis Using Nanopore Targeted Sequencing

iLABMED, EarlyView.
This research presents a method based on nanopore targeted sequencing (NTS) with pathogen‐specific panels for testing infective endocarditis (IE) and myocarditis. The NTS achieved a detection limit of 20 copies/test for the IE target panel and 10 copies/test for the myocarditis target panel.

Classifying Latent Infection States in Complex Networks [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
Algorithms for identifying the infection states of nodes in a network are crucial for understanding and containing infections. Often, however, only a relatively small set of nodes have a known infection state. Moreover, the length of time that each node has been infected is also unknown.

All‐in‐one optical microfiber with an interface for MRSA in biofilms: Integrating rapid quantitative analysis and synergistic antimicrobial therapy

InfoMat, EarlyView.
Aiming at the management of MRSA biofilms, an all‐in‐one optical microfiber that integrated rapid quantitative analysis with synergistic antimicrobial therapy is developed. The prepared interfacial‐functionalized optical microfiber demonstrates the ability to detect MRSA concentrations in infection sites, enhance therapeutic efficacy, and assess ...

Efficacy of microbial cell‐free DNA testing for detecting pathogens in pediatric patients with head and neck infections—An initial study

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
We investigate the utility of microbial cell‐free DNA (mcfDNA) from the blood to predict surgical culture results. In this study, only 26.9% of patients had mcfDNA results that were considered predictive of the causative organism(s). There was a significant burden of contamination in the cohort, emphasizing that dedicated protocols must be followed ...

Investigation of antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant activities in novel poly(DEAEMA‐co‐EMA)/polyindole composites

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of prepared poly(DEAEMA‐co‐EMA)/PIN composities and 3D AFM image. Abstract In the current study, in the first stage, amphiphilic poly(2‐diethylamino ethylmethacrylate‐co‐ethyl methacrylate) [Poly(DEAEMA‐co‐EMA)] was synthesized from the 2‐diethylamino ethylmethacrylate (DEAEMA) and the ethyl methacrylate (EMA) using the free ...

Proteome Analysis of Corynebacterium diphtheriae–Macrophage Interaction

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contact of Corynebacterium diphtheriae with macrophages induces adaptations on both bacterial and cellular sides. The study presented here was aiming to shed light on the simultaneous intracellular adaptation of the bacteria and changes in the proteome of the phagocytes in response to the internalization of C. diphtheriae.
