Maternal, childhood and adolescent influences on Leydig cell functional capacity and circulating INSL3 concentration in young adults: Importance of childhood infections and body mass index

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The constitutive Leydig cell hormone insulin‐like peptide 3 (INSL3) is considered a good estimate of the adult Leydig cell functional capacity and appears to remain relatively consistent throughout adult male life, only gradually declining into old age.

Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis bacteremia in type 1 diabetes mellitus: an infectious trigger? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is the established cause of paratuberculosis in ruminants (i.e., Johne disease). The bacterium is shed in the milk of infected cows and survives pasteurization.

Ethical Considerations Regarding the Vaccination of Children—The Power Dynamics Between Doctors and Parents

open access: yesActa Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While childhood vaccination programmes provide outstanding contributions to improving health, they can also pose challenges through the interactions between parents and healthcare. This paper focuses on the ethical dimensions of interactions between healthcare professionals and parents. Since the knowledge that professionals possess creates an

Green Stool Predominance in Babies and Subsequent Bowel Function at 1–2 Years of Age

open access: yesActa Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To study the relationship between bowel function after birth and at 1–2 years of age in the prospective HELMi cohort of term infants. Methods We focused on infants with predominantly green stools (n = 152) for three consecutive weeks in early life and their sex, age, and delivery mode‐matched controls (n = 300), and evaluated bowel ...

Genetic characteristic of mumps virus from 2012 to 2016 and its serum antibody level among general healthy population during 2018–2020 in Jiangsu Province, China

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases
Mumps is a vaccine-preventable disease with high contagious capability. Its incidence declined rapidly since one dose of mumps vaccine was introduced into Expanded Program of Immunization (EPI) in 2008 in China. Nonetheless, the outbreaks of mumps remain

Genomic tools for post-elimination measles molecular epidemiology using Canadian surveillance data from 2018–2020

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionMeasles is caused by the highly infectious measles virus, MeV, for which there is an effective vaccine. Monitoring of progress of measles elimination requires enhanced surveillance and tracking of MeV strains, including documenting the ...

Comparison of different nonlinear solvers for 2D time-implicit stellar hydrodynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Time-implicit schemes are attractive since they allow numerical time steps that are much larger than those permitted by the Courant-Friedrich-Lewy criterion characterizing time-explicit methods. This advantage comes, however, with a cost: the solution of

Modelling Impact of Different Varicella Immunisation Strategies Upon Introduction in the Swedish National Programme

open access: yesActa Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Countries with varicella immunisation programmes have seen major reductions in disease burden. While two‐dose schedules are now universally adopted, dosing ages vary, and some countries initially include catch‐up vaccination of older children to speed impact. This modelling study assessed three two‐dose schedules in the Swedish setting (1)

Time series analysis of mumps and meteorological factors in Beijing, China

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background Over the past decades there have been outbreaks of mumps in many countries, even in populations that were vaccinated. Some studies suggest that the incidence of mumps is related to meteorological changes, but the results of these studies vary ...
