Adults aged 65 years and older in South Africa have a responsibility to vaccinate against influenza
Developing World Bioethics, EarlyView.Abstract In this article, we draw on the thinking about incompleteness and conviviality grounded in Afro‐communitarianism ethics from the Global South to argue that adults aged 65 years and above have a prima facie responsibility to vaccinate against influenza.

The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 6, Page 1480-1499, March 2025.Vaccination plays a crucial role in mediating protection against infectious diseases, but immune responses to vaccination are highly variable and frequently sub‐optimal in vulnerable populations. Here, we review the latest preclinical and clinical evidence demonstrating that the gut microbiota plays a significant role in regulating immune responses to ...

Time series analysis of Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 The aim of this paper is to study the (clinical) time-series data of three diseases with complex dynamics: Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. For this purpose, first all of the time series data are embedded in a vector space of suitable dimension and then the correlation dimension of the above mentioned ...

Analysis of the human diseasome reveals phenotype modules across common, genetic, and infectious diseases [PDF]
, 2014 Phenotypes are the observable characteristics of an organism arising from its response to the environment. Phenotypes associated with engineered and natural genetic variation are widely recorded using phenotype ontologies in model organisms, as are signs and symptoms of human Mendelian diseases in databases such as OMIM and Orphanet.

The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 8, Page 1868-1883, April 2025.Traditionally, adipocytes have been viewed as energy storage units, which upregulate inflammatory factors in response to obesity. However, emerging evidence demonstrates that adipocytes are highly responsive to systemic infection, and upregulate cytokines and antimicrobial compounds in response.

Increasing the Discovery Power and Confidence Levels of Disease Association Studies: A Survey [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 The majority of common diseases are influenced by multiple genetic and environmental factors such as Cancer. Even though uncovering the main causes of disease is deemed difficult due to the complexity of gene-gene and gene-environment interactions, major research efforts aim at identifying disease risk factors, especially genetic ones.

The development of nations conditions the disease space [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Using the economic complexity methodology on data for disease prevalence in 195 countries during the period of 1990-2016, we propose two new metrics for quantifying the relatedness between diseases, or the `disease space' of countries. With these metrics, we analyze the geography of diseases and empirically investigate the effect of economic ...
