PANDAS – a rare but severe disorder associated with streptococcal infections; Awareness is needed
Acta Oto-Laryngologica Case Reports, 2023 PANDAS is an acronym for ‘paediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections’ and is defined as a subgroup of PANS, ‘Paediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome’.

The SIR model in a moving population: propagation of infection and herd immunity [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In a collection of particles performing independent random walks on $\mathbb Z^d$ we study the spread of an infection with SIR dynamics. Susceptible particles become infected when they meet an infected particle. Infected particles heal and are removed at rate $\nu$.

Pain pathogenesis in rheumatoid arthritis -- what have we learned from animal models [PDF]
PAIN 2018 Sep; 159 Suppl:S98-S109, 2019 Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation and joint pain. Much of RA treatment is focused on suppressing inflammation, with the idea being that if inflammation is controlled other symptoms, such as pain, will disappear. However, pain is the most common complaint of RA patients, is often still present

Recurrence quantification analysis as a tool for the characterization of molecular dynamics simulations [PDF]
, 1998 A molecular dynamics simulation of a Lennard-Jones fluid, and a trajectory of the B1 immunoglobulin G-binding domain of streptococcal protein G (B1-IgG) simulated in water are analyzed by recurrence quantification, which is noteworthy for its independence from stationarity constraints, as well as its ability to detect transients, and both linear and ...

Parasite infection in a cell population with deaths and reinfections [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We introduce a model of parasite infection in a cell population, where cells can be infected, either at birth through maternal transmission, from a contact with the parasites reservoir, or because of the parasites released in the cell medium after the lyses of infected cells.

Analytic Partition Function Zeros of the Wako-Saito-Munoz-Eaton beta-hairpin Model [PDF]
, 2012 An analytic formula for the density of states of Wako-Saito-Munoz-Eaton model, for a simple class of beta-hairpins, is obtained. Under certain simplifying assumptions on the structure of the native contacts and the values of local entropy, the partition function zeros are also obtained in analytic forms. The zeros are uniformly distributed on a circle,

Endolysins against Streptococci as an antibiotic alternative
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Multi-drug resistance has called for a race to uncover alternatives to existing antibiotics. Phage therapy is one of the explored alternatives, including the use of endolysins, which are phage-encoded peptidoglycan hydrolases responsible for bacterial ...
