Outbreak Management and Implications of a Nosocomial Norovirus Outbreak [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2007 Noroviruses are enterically transmitted and are a frequent cause of gastroenteritis, affecting 23 million people annually in the United States. We describe a norovirus outbreak and its control in a tertiary care hospital during February-May 2004.Patients and health care workers met the case definition if they had new onset of vomiting and/or diarrhea ...

Epileptiform Activity and Seizure Risk Follow Long‐Term Non‐Linear Attractor Dynamics
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study leverages the HAVOK framework to model long‐term, nonlinear attractor dynamics underlying epileptiform activity and seizure risk in epilepsy patients. By identifying key forcing mechanisms driving chaotic transitions, the findings improve seizure risk forecasting over multi‐day cycles and provide a pathway for personalized, data‐driven ...

Potent Cross‐neutralizing Antibodies Reveal Vulnerabilities of Henipavirus Fusion Glycoprotein
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Hendra and Nipah viruses (HNVs) pose significant threats to global health. This work reports potent cross‐neutralizing antibodies targeting the fusion glycoprotein (F) and reveals shared features of these antibodies and vulnerabilities of F, thereby guiding the rational design of countermeasures against HNVs and similar pathogens.
