Geospatial Modeling Methods in Epidemiological Kidney Research: An Overview and Practical Example

Kidney International Reports
Geospatial modeling methods in population-level kidney research have not been used to full potential because few studies have completed associative spatial analyses between risk factors and exposures and kidney conditions and outcomes.

Electroencephalogram‐Driven Recognition of Parkinson's Disease Through a Mycelium‐Inspired Memristive Reservoir Computing Circuit

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents a bio‐inspired computing framework for Parkinson's disease analog recognition using electroencephalogram signals. Temporally encoded EEG features stimulate a mycelium‐inspired memristive reservoir, where disease‐related patterns emerge through physical spatiotemporal dynamics.

Biomimetic 3D Tactile Sensor System With Neuromorphic Encoding for Fascicle‐Level Feedback

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A 3D biomimetic tactile sensor system converts skin‐like mechanical interactions into neural stimulation‐ready spike patterns. Embedded slow‐ and fast‐adapting sensors distinguish sustained pressure from transient touch, while neuromorphic encoding preserves their temporal signatures.

Pilot Study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in an Industrial Town in India

Journal of Health and Pollution, 2019
Background. The burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in India is not well understood. Due to geographical and environmental heterogeneity, the epidemiological profile of COPD may not be uniform across the country. Studies carried out in

Spatial hazard models: limitations and applications [PDF]

The paper develops an important spatial extension of longitudinal models. Longitudinal models capture variations in the timing of events. Recently, they have also been applied to variations in the spacing of events, using distance as a mathematical ...

Using photovoice to understand community perceptions of firearm risks and protective factors among Asian Americans

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study used photovoice methodology to explore Asian Americans' perspectives on the root causes and protective factors of firearm violence in their communities. Photovoice provided a participatory platform for community members to document lived experiences and identify priorities for change.

Defining new Buruli ulcer endemic areas in urban southeastern Australia using bacterial genomics-informed possum excreta surveys

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Buruli ulcer in southeastern Australia is a zoonosis caused by infection with Mycobacterium ulcerans. Australian native possums are a major wildlife reservoir, and infected possums shed M.

On the Choice of Genetic Distance in Spatial-Genetic Studies. [PDF]

, 2007
We look at how to choose genetic distance so as to maximise the power of detecting spatial structure. We answer this question through analysin g two population genetic models that allow for a spatially structured population in a continuous habitat. These

Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Exposure Profiles and Their Predictors in a Study of US Volunteer Firefighters

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Firefighters may experience occupational exposure to per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Volunteer firefighters make up 65% of the US fire service, but their serum PFAS profiles have not been well characterized. This study aims to (1) describe PFAS serum profiles among US volunteer firefighters from 9 states enrolled in ...
