‘I Don't Think I Would've Survived Without Having a Constant Support System’: Independent Living Skills Acquisition During the Transition From Care in Western Australia

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For care‐experienced young people, the preparation for leaving out‐of‐home care (OOHC) is vital in support of post‐OOHC outcomes. This research explores the acquisition of Independent Living Skills (ILS) amongst young people in Western Australia and is based on interviews with care‐experienced young people at two time points: while in OOHC and

ABSTRACT Background According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), more than 20 million Americans suffer from chronic taste problems. Unfortunately, quantitative testing is rarely performed, self‐reports are inaccurate, and “taste” is often confused with olfaction‐dependent flavors.

Respiratory virus mRNA vaccines: mRNA Design, clinical studies, and future challenges

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Respiratory infectious diseases frequently erupt on a global scale, with RNA viruses, such as SARS‐CoV‐2, RSV, and influenza viruses, posing challenges to vaccine development due to their high mutation rates. Traditional vaccine development cycles are lengthy and struggle to keep pace with rapidly evolving viruses, whereas messenger RNA (mRNA)

Comparative pathogenicity of vaccinia virus and mpox virus infections in CAST/EiJ mice: Exploring splenomegaly and transcriptomic profiles

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We successfully constructed CAST/EiJ mice models infected with low‐dose vaccinia virus (VACV‐L), high‐dose VACV (VACV‐H), and mpox virus (MPXV), demonstrating that VACV‐L and MPXV infections induced splenomegaly in mice, and VACV‐H infection caused mortality in mice.

Solution of an infection model near threshold

open access: yes, 2007
We study the Susceptible-Infected-Recovered model of epidemics in the vicinity of the threshold infectivity. We derive the distribution of total outbreak size in the limit of large population size $N$.

Comparison of the pathogenicity of multiple SARS‐CoV‐2 variants in mouse models

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We assessed the pathogenicity of various SARS‐CoV‐2 variants using two distinct mouse models. Our findings indicated that earlier variants, including WH‐09, Beta, and Delta, exhibited greater pathogenicity than later variants. Specifically, the Omicron variant demonstrated reduced pathogenicity, characterized by a shorter disease course and diminished ...
