Fourth case of louse-borne relapsing fever in Young Migrant, Sicily, Italy, December 2015. Mini Review Article [PDF]
Objectives Currently louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF) is primarily found in limited endemic foci in Ethiopia, Somalia and Sudan; no case of imported LBRF has been reported in Europe in the 9 years prior to 2015.

Spirochetal Lipoproteins and Immune Evasion. [PDF]
Spirochetes are a major threat to public health. However, the exact pathogenesis of spirochetal diseases remains unclear. Spirochetes express lipoproteins that often determine the cross talk between the host and spirochetes.

Laboratory diagnosis of tick-borne African relapsing fevers: latest developments
In Africa, relapsing fevers caused by ectoparasite-borne Borrelia species are transmitted by ticks, with the exception of Borrelia recurrentis, which is a louse-borne spirochete.

Psychotic Relapse Prediction in Schizophrenia Patients using A Mobile Sensing-based Supervised Deep Learning Model [PDF]
Mobile sensing-based modeling of behavioral changes could predict an oncoming psychotic relapse in schizophrenia patients for timely interventions. Deep learning models could complement existing non-deep learning models for relapse prediction by modeling latent behavioral features relevant to the prediction.

RELAPSES IN TYPHOID FEVER. [PDF]
One of the most distressing incidents which we may meet in typhoid fever is the occurrence of a relapse after we have guided the case safely to convalescence. The temperature has become normal, the patient is happy and hungry, the relatives contented, the doctor congratulates himself that he has cured a case of typhoid fever, and then comes the relapse

THE RELAPSING FEVER OF PANAMA [PDF]
Publication of this paper has been withheld by the writer in order that the animal reactions of the new world monkeys might be worked out, and also that further attempts to produce a polyvalent hyperimmune serum might be made, but it is thought that the paper should now be published as it is, as the production of an immune serum can be much better ...

Patient-independent Schizophrenia Relapse Prediction Using Mobile Sensor based Daily Behavioral Rhythm Changes [PDF]
A schizophrenia relapse has severe consequences for a patient's health, work, and sometimes even life safety. If an oncoming relapse can be predicted on time, for example by detecting early behavioral changes in patients, then interventions could be provided to prevent the relapse.
