Antibodies and tuberculosis

open access: yesTuberculosis, 2016
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem internationally, causing 9.6 million new cases and 1.5 million deaths worldwide in 2014. The Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine is the only licensed vaccine against TB, but its protective effect does not extend to controlling the development of infectious pulmonary disease in adults. The development

Transmission of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in the UK: a cross-sectional molecular and epidemiological study of clustering and contact tracing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: Between 2000 and 2012 the number of multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis cases in the UK increased from 28 per year to 81 per year. We investigated the proportion of MDR tuberculosis cases arising from transmission in the UK and associated ...

Infection control and tuberculosis among health care workers in Viet Nam, 2009-2013: a cross-sectional survey

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2016
Background Data on tuberculosis (TB) among health care workers (HCW) and TB infection control (TBIC) indicators are rarely available at national level. We assessed multi-year trends in notification data of TB among HCW and explored possible associations ...

Using Capsule Neural Network to predict Tuberculosis in lens-free microscopic images [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Tuberculosis, caused by a bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is one of the most serious public health problems worldwide. This work seeks to facilitate and automate the prediction of tuberculosis by the MODS method and using lens-free microscopy, which is easy to use by untrained personnel.

Estimation of underreporting in Brazilian tuberculosis data, 2012-2014 [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Analysis of burden of underregistration in tuberculosis data in Brazil, from 2012 to 2014. Approches of Oliveira et al. (2020) and Stoner et al. (2019) are applied. The main focus is to illustrated how the approach of Oliveira et al. (2020) can be applied when the clustering structure is not previously available.

The power of microRNA regulation—insights into immunity and metabolism

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
MicroRNAs are emerging as crucial regulators at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. This review examines how miRNAs coordinate glucose and lipid metabolism while simultaneously modulating T‐cell development and immune responses. Moreover, it highlights how cutting‐edge artificial intelligence applications can identify miRNA biomarkers ...

Empowering Tuberculosis Screening with Explainable Self-Supervised Deep Neural Networks [PDF]

open access: yes2024 International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA), Miami, FL, USA, 2024, pp. 794-797
Tuberculosis persists as a global health crisis, especially in resource-limited populations and remote regions, with more than 10 million individuals newly infected annually. It stands as a stark symbol of inequity in public health. Tuberculosis impacts roughly a quarter of the global populace, with the majority of cases concentrated in eight countries,

Interaction vesicles as emerging mediators of host‐pathogen molecular crosstalk and their implications for infection dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interaction extracellular vesicles (iEVs) are hybrid vesicles formed through host‐pathogen communication. They facilitate immune evasion, transfer pathogens' molecules, increase host cell uptake, and enhance virulence. This Perspective article illustrates the multifunctional roles of iEVs and highlights their emerging relevance in infection dynamics ...
