Hospitalisations related to lower respiratory tract infections in Northern Queensland
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, 2021 Objective: To investigate the admission characteristics and hospital outcomes for patients admitted with lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) in Northern Queensland. Methods: We perform a retrospective analysis of the data covering an 11‐year period,

Reduction in respiratory mortality not associated with influenza in Russia: effect of the introduction of pneumococcal vaccination (PCV13), or improvement in care? [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Background. Pneumococcal vaccination (PCV13) for children (as well as older adults) in Russia was introduced in 2014, with no prior PCV7 use. While pneumonia hospitalization rates, both in children and adults did not decrease in the following years, respiratory mortality rates did decline with time.

Estimating Mean Viral Load Trajectory from Intermittent Longitudinal Data and Unknown Time Origins [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Viral load (VL) in the respiratory tract is the leading proxy for assessing infectiousness potential. Understanding the dynamics of disease-related VL within the host is very important and help to determine different policy and health recommendations. However, often only partial followup data are available with unknown infection date.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Iron deficiency reduces monocyte dendritic cell progenitor (MDP) numbers by inhibiting migration and proliferation while promoting apoptosis, subsequently reducing downstream common dendritic cell precursors (CDP) and dendritic cell (DC). Impaired DCs enter the lungs via blood circulation, where reduced antigen presentation impairs T‐cell activation ...

Pinball-OCSVM for early-stage COVID-19 diagnosis with limited posteroanterior chest X-ray images [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The infection of respiratory coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) starts with the upper respiratory tract and as the virus grows, the infection can progress to lungs and develop pneumonia. The conventional way of COVID-19 diagnosis is reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), which is less sensitive during early stages; especially if the

α‐Synuclein Pathology Spreads in a Midbrain–Hindbrain Assembloid Model
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A novel midbrain–hindbrain assembloid model demonstrates the spread of α‐synuclein pathology, a hallmark of Parkinson's disease, mimicking Braak's hypothesis. This model reveals how pathology propagates from the hindbrain to the midbrain, inducing synaptic changes and early signs of neuronal vulnerability. It offers an innovative platform for exploring

Significance of Moraxella catarrhalis as a causative organism of lower respiratory tract infections
Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2017 Background: Moraxella catarrhalis is an exclusively human pathogen that may be overlooked in culture because of its phenotypic similarity to commensal Neisseria. Indeed, beta lactamase producing isolates of M.
