Forecasting Disease Burden In Philippines: A Symbolic Regression Analysis [PDF]
Burden of disease measures the impact of living with illness and injury and dying prematurely and it is increasing worldwide leading cause of death both global and national. This paper aimed to propose an index of diseases and evaluate a mathematical model to describe the number of burden of disease by cause in the Philippines from 1990 - 2016. Through

CheXseen: Unseen Disease Detection for Deep Learning Interpretation of Chest X-rays [PDF]
We systematically evaluate the performance of deep learning models in the presence of diseases not labeled for or present during training. First, we evaluate whether deep learning models trained on a subset of diseases (seen diseases) can detect the presence of any one of a larger set of diseases.

Meningococcal Disease and Travel [PDF]
Invasive meningococcal disease, in both endemic and epidemic forms, is the cause of significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite all advances in therapy, the fatality rate of meningococcal meningitis remains unacceptably high, between 5% and 10%, and a similar proportion suffers long-term neurological sequalae.

Riliprubart is a second‐generation, humanized immunoglobulin G4 that inhibits only the activated form of the C1s component of the proximal classical complement pathway. The clinical studies of riliprubart conducted thus far for the treatment of cold agglutinin disease (CAD), a rare autoimmune disease, include a Phase 1 first‐in‐human study in healthy ...

The immunopathogenesis of meningococcal disease [PDF]
This review describes the mechanisms of the immune response to meningococcal disease, examining the extent to which individual variation of the immune response can determine susceptibility. It concludes by summarising the difficulties encountered by recent efforts to develop new immunomodulatory treatments.

Harnessing the therapeutic potential of bacterial extracellular vesicles via functional peptides
Bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) are increasingly exploited as therapeutic agents or delivery vehicles for disease treatment due to their intrinsic structure, delivery capacity, immunogenic property, facile production, and versatile modification.
