Ethnomedicinal uses, phytochemistry, pharmacological activities, and toxicology of the subfamily Gomphrenoideae (Amaranthaceae): A comprehensive review

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Accepted Article.
The subfamily Gomphrenoideae is composed of about 480 accepted species, many of which have been historically used as medicinal plants, reason why they have been studied in terms of chemical profile, biological activity, and safety. This review consolidates the advances in research on this subfamily over the past 47 years, emphasizing its promising ...

Measles and Measles Vaccine in Japan

open access: yesPediatrics International, 1988
Before the introduction of measles vaccine in 1971, measles was a common and well-recognized disease in Japanese children. Seroepidemiological studies conducted before the general use of the vaccine disclosed that measles epidemics differed from community to community; in rural areas, epidemics appeared at intervals of several years with the ...

Fluorescent Cell Barcoding of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells for High‐Throughput Assessment of Vaccine‐Induced T Cell Responses in Low‐Volume Research Samples

open access: yesCytometry Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT T cell responses are rarely measured in large‐scale human vaccine studies due to the sample volumes required, as well as the logistical, technical, and financial challenges associated with available assays. Fluorescent cell barcoding has been proposed in other contexts to allow for more high‐throughput flow cytometry‐based assays.

A model of opinion dynamics with echo chambers explains the spatial distribution of vaccine hesitancy [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Vaccination hesitancy is a major obstacle to achieving and maintaining herd immunity. It is therefore of prime importance for public health authorities to understand the dynamics of an anti-vaccine opinion in the population. We introduce a novel mathematical model of opinion dynamics with spatial reinforcement, which can generate echo chambers, i.e ...

Modeling and presentation of vaccination coverage estimates using data from household surveys [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
It is becoming increasingly popular to produce high-resolution maps of vaccination coverage by fitting Bayesian geostatistical models to data from household surveys. Often, the surveys adopt a stratified cluster sampling design. We discuss a number of crucial choices with respect to two key aspects of the map production process: the acknowledgment of ...
