A re-entrant phase transition in the survival of secondary infections on networks [PDF]

, 2018
We study the dynamics of secondary infections on networks, in which only the individuals currently carrying a certain primary infection are susceptible to the secondary infection. In the limit of large sparse networks, the model is mapped to a branching process spreading in a random time-sensitive environment, determined by the dynamics of the ...

Effects of Secukinumab on Enthesiophyte and Erosion Progression in Psoriatic Arthritis: A One‐Year Double‐Blind, Randomized, Placebo‐Controlled Trial Using High‐Resolution Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective This study aimed to ascertain the effect of secukinumab on erosion and enthesiophyte progression in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) by using high‐resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR‐pQCT). Methods This was a phase 4, double‐blind, randomized, placebo‐controlled trial.

Feline coronaviruses associated with feline infectious peritonitis have modifications to spike protein activation sites at two discrete positions [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is associated with mutations in the feline coronavirus (FCoV) genome that are thought to convert the subclinical feline enteric coronavirus (FECV) into the lethal feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV). A key feature of FIPV, not shared with FECV, is the productive infection of macrophages. Therefore mutations in

Spatially dense stochastic epidemic models with infection-age dependent infectivity [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
We study an individual-based stochastic spatial epidemic model where the number of locations and the number of individuals at each location both grow to infinity. Each individual is associated with a random infection-age dependent infectivity function. Individuals are infected through interactions across the locations with heterogeneous effects.

Left atrial function in uraemic patients: Four‐dimensional automatic left atrial quantitative technology study

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1316-1325, April 2025.
Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the utility of left atrial volume and function in uraemic patients using four‐dimensional automatic left atrial quantification (4D auto LAQ) technology. Methods Thirty‐four undialysed uraemic patients (U‐ND group), 60 dialysed uraemic patients (U‐D group), and 32 healthy volunteers (N group) were enrolled
