A hierarchical Bayesian model for estimating age-specific COVID-19 infection fatality rates in developing countries [PDF]
The COVID-19 infection fatality rate (IFR) is the proportion of individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 who subsequently die. As COVID-19 disproportionately affects older individuals, age-specific IFR estimates are imperative to facilitate comparisons of the impact of COVID-19 between locations and prioritize distribution of scare resources.

Abstract Preterm birth and enteral feeding are two main factors leading to necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). The metabolomics of preterm infants before and after feeding can provide a basis for the prediction of NEC. Using the method of cross‐sectional study, the mode was established with the serum samples of 19 premature infants at birth and after ...

A simple, sensitive and quantitative FACS-based test for SARS-CoV-2 serology in humans and animals [PDF]
Serological tests are important for understanding the physiopathology and following the evolution of the Covid-19 pandemic. Assays based on flow cytometry (FACS) of tissue culture cells expressing the spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV-2 have repeatedly proven to perform slightly better than the plate-based assays ELISA and CLIA (chemiluminescent immuno ...

Serology for human papillomavirus [PDF]
Difficulties with serology for papillomavirus are associated with the large number of human papillomavirus, cross-reactions between papillomavirus, and to the diversity of lesions and target sites for infection. In addition, the expression of the papillomavirus in the superficial layers of the epithelium gives rise to the weak presentation to ...
