Ecopathology of Ranaviruses Infecting Amphibians
Viruses, 2011 Ranaviruses are capable of infecting amphibians from at least 14 families and over 70 individual species. Ranaviruses infect multiple cell types, often culminating in organ necrosis and massive hemorrhaging.

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 $\nu$.

Subclinical Infection as a Cause of Inflammation in Preeclampsia
American Journal of Therapeutics, 2008 Preeclampsia, a pregnancy-exclusive hypertensive disorder, is the major cause of maternal and perinatal mortality, with a greater importance in developing countries. The role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia has been the object of recent studies by our group.

A library of quantitative markers of seizure severity [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Purpose: Understanding fluctuations of seizure severity within individuals is important for defining treatment outcomes and response to therapy, as well as developing novel treatments for epilepsy. Current methods for grading seizure severity rely on qualitative interpretations from patients and clinicians.

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.

Subclinical infection of the genital tract with Neisseria meningitidis [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2006 We report the isolation of Neisseria meningitidis, characterized as B:NT:P1.7, from a female patient's genital tract in an outpatient clinic for HIV care. The gynecology clinic, as part of the follow up, collects specimens from all patients with HIV infection for routine exams and for early laboratory detection of sexually transmitted diseases . A Gram-

Factors for Rituximab Refractoriness in AQP4‐IgG+ NMOSD: A Cohort Study
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a severe autoimmune condition of the central nervous system (CNS), often associated with aquaporin‐4 antibodies (AQP4‐IgG). Rituximab, a CD20+ B‐cell depleting monoclonal antibody, is widely used as first‐line therapy.

PDE model for multi-patch epidemic models with migration and infection-age dependent infectivity [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We study a stochastic epidemic model with multiple patches (locations), where individuals in each patch are categorized into three compartments, Susceptible, Infected and Recovered/Removed, and may migrate from one patch to another in any of the compartments.

Metabolic Consequences of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may have metabolic disruption, which can contribute to adverse long‐term outcomes, for multiple reasons. Patients with RA appear to have a higher risk of sarcopenia, type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and hypertension. Systemic inflammation in RA can cause a “lipid paradox,” with reduced low‐
