Geoadditive Latent Variable Modelling of Child Morbidity and Malnutrition in Nigeria [PDF]

, 2008
Investigating the impact of important risk factors and geographical location on child morbidity and malnutrition is of high relevance for developing countries. Previous research has usually carried out separate regression analyses for certain diseases or

Human Prion Disease and Relative Risk Associated with Chronic Wasting Disease

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
The transmission of the prion disease bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) to humans raises concern about chronic wasting disease (CWD), a prion disease of deer and elk. In 7 Colorado counties with high CWD prevalence, 75% of state hunting licenses are

Chronic Wasting Disease Drives Population Decline of White-Tailed Deer. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is an invariably fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathy of white-tailed deer, mule deer, elk, and moose. Despite a 100% fatality rate, areas of high prevalence, and increasingly expanding geographic endemic areas ...

Landowner perceptions of and preferences for chronic wasting disease management

Environmental Challenges, 2022
Landowners are critical actors in minimizing the spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD), although research focusing on this stakeholder group has been minimal in recent years.

Intercompartmental communication in senescence

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Senescent cells experience structural changes in the plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, lysosomes, nucleus, and cytoskeleton. These alterations disrupt crosstalk among cellular compartments, impairing vesicular trafficking, contact sites, and molecular flow.

Chronic Wasting Disease: Current Assessment of Transmissibility [PDF]

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2019
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease of cervids characterized by clini- cal symptoms of progressive weight loss, abnormal behaviour and excessive salivation. Incidents have been reported in North America and Korea as well as in Europe. Current knowledge, based on in vitro and in vivo experiments, suggests direct CWD transmis- sion to humans

Long‐term hippocampal alterations and cognitive impairment in a murine model of surgical sepsis

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Using a mouse model of surgical sepsis, we tested long‐term memory and analyzed the transcriptome of single cells isolated from the hippocampus. Survivor mice showed worse memory, loss of certain brain cell subpopulations, and abnormal immune cell activity—suggesting that post‐sepsis brain alterations may be linked to cognitive deficits.

Endemic chronic wasting disease causes mule deer population decline in Wyoming

PLoS ONE, 2017
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathy affecting white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni), and moose (Alces alces shirasi) in North ...

Human cachexia induces changes in mitochondria, autophagy and apoptosis in the skeletal muscle [PDF]

, 2019
Cachexia is a wasting syndrome characterized by the continuous loss of skeletal muscle mass due to imbalance between protein synthesis and degradation, which is related with poor prognosis and compromised quality of life.

A microfluidic biosensor for the diagnosis of chronic wasting disease

Microsystems & Nanoengineering, 2023
Cervids are affected by a neurologic disease that is always fatal to individuals and has population effects. This disease is called chronic wasting disease (CWD) and is caused by a misfolded prion protein.
