A mathematical model describing the localization and spread of influenza A virus infection within the human respiratory tract [PDF]
PLoS Comput Biol. 2020 Apr 13;16(4):e1007705, 2019 Within the human respiratory tract (HRT), viruses diffuse through the periciliary fluid (PCF) bathing the epithelium, and travel upwards via advection towards the nose and mouth, as the mucus escalator entrains the PCF. While many mathematical models (MMs) to date have described the course of influenza A virus (IAV) infections in vivo, none have ...

Airway bacterial carriage and childhood respiratory health: A population-based prospective cohort study [PDF]
, 2020 Background Airway bacterial carriage might play a role in respiratory disease. We hypothesize that nasal carriage with Staphylococcus aureus or nasopharyngeal carriage with Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, and Streptococcus pneumoniae ...

Risk assessment for airborne disease transmission by poly-pathogen aerosols [PDF]
, 2020 In the case of airborne diseases, pathogen copies are transmitted by droplets of respiratory tract fluid that are exhaled by the infectious and, after partial or full drying, inhaled as aerosols by the susceptible. The risk of infection in indoor environments is typically modelled using the Wells-Riley model or a Wells-Riley-like formulation, usually ...

Lower Respiratory Tract Infections
Microbiology Spectrum, 2016 ABSTRACT This review will focus on the infectious etiologies and more common noninfectious causes of lower respiratory tract syndromes among major immunosuppressed populations. The changing epidemiology of infections in the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in the case of HIV-positive patients and the impacts of both newer ...

Analyzing Host-Viral Interactome of SARS-CoV-2 for Identifying Vulnerable Host Proteins during COVID-19 Pathogenesis [PDF]
, 2021 The development of therapeutic targets for COVID-19 treatment is based on the understanding of the molecular mechanism of pathogenesis. The identification of genes and proteins involved in the infection mechanism is the key to shed out light into the complex molecular mechanisms. The combined effort of many laboratories distributed throughout the world

Romiplostim use in pregnant women with immune thrombocytopenia
American Journal of Hematology, Volume 98, Issue 1, Page 31-40, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Treatment for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in pregnancy is hampered by the lack of fetal safety evidence of maternally‐administered medications. The Pregnancy Surveillance Program (PSP) collected patient information from 2017–2020 for pregnancy, birth outcomes, and adverse events (AEs) for 186 women exposed to romiplostim from 20 days before ...
