Advances in population surveillance for physical activity and sedentary behavior: reliability and validity of time use surveys.

American Journal of Epidemiology, 2010
Many countries conduct regular national time use surveys, some of which date back as far as the 1960s. Time use surveys potentially provide more detailed and accurate national estimates of the prevalence of sedentary and physical activity behavior than ...

Early metastasis is characterized by Gr1+ cell dysregulation and is inhibited by immunomodulatory nanoparticles

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Breast cancer metastasis is associated with myeloid cell dysregulation and the lung‐specific accumulation of tumor‐supportive Gr1+ cells. Gr1+ cells support metastasis, in part, through a CHI3L1‐mediated mechanism, which can be targeted and inhibited with cargo‐free, polymeric nanoparticles.

Mortality and causes of death in people diagnosed with HIV in the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy compared with the general population: an analysis of a national observational cohort

The Lancet Public Health, 2017
Background: Deaths in HIV-positive people have decreased since the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in 1996. Fewer AIDS-related deaths and an ageing cohort have resulted in an increase in the proportion of HIV patients dying ...

Deceptiveness of internet data for disease surveillance [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Quantifying how many people are or will be sick, and where, is a critical ingredient in reducing the burden of disease because it helps the public health system plan and implement effective outbreak response. This process of disease surveillance is currently based on data gathering using clinical and laboratory methods; this distributed human contact ...

Connecting surveillance and population-level influenza incidence [PDF]

, 2018
AbstractThere is substantial interest in estimating and forecasting influenza incidence. Surveillance of influenza is challenging as one needs to demarcate influenza from other respiratory viruses, and due to asymptomatic infections. To circumvent these challenges, surveillance data often targets influenza-like-illness, or uses context-specific ...

Aging‐Driven Blood–Brain Barrier Dysfunction and Its Impact on CNS Cancer Susceptibility: A Comprehensive Narrative Review

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Aging weakens the blood–brain barrier (BBB), increasing susceptibility to CNS cancers and complicating treatment. This review examines BBB deterioration, its impact on drug delivery, and potential interventions like targeting neuroinflammation and advanced therapies.
