Healthcare Worker Seroconversion in SARS Outbreak
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004 Serum samples were obtained from healthcare workers 5 weeks after exposure to an outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). A sensitive dot blot enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, complemented by a specific neutralization test, shows that only

A radiomics approach to analyze cardiac alterations in hypertension [PDF]
, 2020 Hypertension is a medical condition that is well-established as a risk factor for many major diseases. For example, it can cause alterations in the cardiac structure and function over time that can lead to heart related morbidity and mortality. However, at the subclinical stage, these changes are subtle and cannot be easily captured using conventional ...

Novel Electroactive Therapeutic Platforms for Cardiac Arrhythmia Management
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Electroactive platforms offer promising applications in cardiac arrhythmia. Based on their energy sources and mechanisms, electroactive platforms are categorized into i) direct electrical stimulation, ii) self‐powered electroactive systems, iii) physical stimuli‐mediated electroactive systems, and iv) conductive systems, and their applications in ...

A sharp threshold for a modified bootstrap percolation with recovery [PDF]
Journal of Statistical Physics, Volume 157, Issue 3 (2014), pp
531-570, 2015 Bootstrap percolation is a type of cellular automaton on graphs, introduced as a simple model of the dynamics of ferromagnetism. Vertices in a graph can be in one of two states: `healthy' or `infected' and from an initial configuration of states, healthy vertices become infected by local rules.

An age-of-infection model with both symptomatic and asymptomatic infections [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We formulate a general age-of-infection epidemic model with two pathways: the symptomatic infections and the asymptomatic infections. We then calculate the basic reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_0$ and establish the final size relation. It is shown that the ratio of accumulated counts of symptomatic patients and asymptomatic patients is determined by ...

Genome Sequencing Uncovers Additional Findings in Phelan‐McDermid Syndrome
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Phelan‐McDermid syndrome (PMS) is a genetic condition caused by deletions of chromosome 22q13.3 or pathogenic variants in the SHANK3 gene. Neurologic features typically include intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, hypotonia, and absent speech, though there is considerable variability even among individuals with the same molecular

On the Universality of Jordan Centers for Estimating Infection Sources in Tree Networks [PDF]
, 2014 Finding the infection sources in a network when we only know the network topology and infected nodes, but not the rates of infection, is a challenging combinatorial problem, and it is even more difficult in practice where the underlying infection spreading model is usually unknown a priori. In this paper, we are interested in finding a source estimator

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.Objective Takayasu arteritis (TAK) and giant cell arteritis (GCA), the most common forms of large‐vessel vasculitis (LVV), can result in serious morbidity. Understanding the molecular basis of LVV should aid in developing better biomarkers and treatments. Methods Plasma proteomic profiling of 184 proteins was performed in two cohorts. Cohort 1 included
