Q fever outbreak in the terraced vineyards of Lavaux, Switzerland
New Microbes and New Infections, EarlyView., 2014 Abstract Coxiella burnetii infection (Q fever) is a widespread zoonosis with low endemicity in Switzerland, therefore no mandatory public report was required. A cluster of initially ten human cases of acute Q fever infections characterized by prolonged fever, asthenia and mild hepatitis occurred in 2012 in the terraced vineyard of Lavaux ...

Modeling Vascular Branching Alterations in Polycystic Kidney Disease [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The analysis of biological networks encompasses a wide variety of fields from genomic research of protein-protein interaction networks, to the physiological study of biologically optimized tree-like vascular networks. It is certain that different biological networks have different optimization criteria and we are interested in those networks optimized ...

Homocysteine and vascular disease
The Lancet, 1999 For more than 20 years, moderately raised concentrations of total homocysteine have been associated with an increased risk of atherothrombotic vascular events but only recently has evidence mounted to suggest that the association may be causal. The association is independent of other factors, it is fairly consistent across many studies, it is strong ...

A Thickness Sensitive Vessel Extraction Framework for Retinal and Conjunctival Vascular Tortuosity Analysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Systemic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, atherosclerosis are among the leading causes of annual human mortality rate. It is suggested that retinal and conjunctival vascular tortuosity is a potential biomarker for such systemic diseases. Most importantly, it is observed that the tortuosity depends on the thickness of these vessels.

VAFO-Loss: VAscular Feature Optimised Loss Function for Retinal Artery/Vein Segmentation [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Estimating clinically-relevant vascular features following vessel segmentation is a standard pipeline for retinal vessel analysis, which provides potential ocular biomarkers for both ophthalmic disease and systemic disease. In this work, we integrate these clinical features into a novel vascular feature optimised loss function (VAFO-Loss), in order to ...

Nature Communications, 2018 Lymphotoxin beta receptor (LTβR) signalling regulates leukocyte migration through the lymphatic endothelial layers. Here, the authors show that treatment of an LTβR-derived decoy peptide can target the non-classical NFκB pathway to inhibit T cell and ...
