Endotoxin in meningococcal infections. [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1980 26 children with meningococcal infections were studied to find out the relationaship between plasma and cerebrospinal fluid levels of endotoxin, the clinical outcome, the level of antigen in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid, and indices of complement activation and disseminated intravascular coagulation.

PDE model for multi-patch epidemic models with migration and infection-age dependent infectivity [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We study a stochastic epidemic model with multiple patches (locations), where individuals in each patch are categorized into three compartments, Susceptible, Infected and Recovered/Removed, and may migrate from one patch to another in any of the compartments.

Power-law models for infectious disease spread [PDF]
Annals of Applied Statistics 2014, Vol. 8, No. 3, 1612-1639, 2013 Short-time human travel behaviour can be described by a power law with respect to distance. We incorporate this information in space-time models for infectious disease surveillance data to better capture the dynamics of disease spread. Two previously established model classes are extended, which both decompose disease risk additively into endemic and ...

Position statement on the management of pregnancy in sickle cell disease
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, EarlyView.Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary haemoglobinopathy which causes multi‐organ dysfunction. Pregnancies in SCD are high risk with significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, including vaso‐occlusive crises, thrombosis, anaemia, placental insufficiency, fetal growth restriction, preterm birth and medication effects. High level evidence
