Failure of PCR to Detect Treponema pallidum ssp. pertenue DNA in Blood in Latent Yaws.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015 Yaws, caused by Treponema pallidum ssp. pertenue, is a neglected tropical disease closely related to venereal syphilis and is targeted for eradication by 2020. Latent yaws represents a diagnostic challenge, and current tools cannot adequately distinguish

Survey of Treponemal Infections in Free-Ranging and Captive Macaques, 1999–2012
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017 Survey results showed treponemal infection among pet macaques in Southeast Asia, a region with a high prevalence of human yaws. This finding, along with studies showing treponemal infection in nonhuman primates in Africa, should encourage a One Health ...

Epidemiologic and Genomic Reidentification of Yaws, Liberia
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021 We confirmed endemicity and autochthonous transmission of yaws in Liberia after a population-based, community-led burden estimation (56,825 participants). Serologically confirmed yaws was rare and focal at population level (24 cases; 2.6 [95% CI 1.4–3.9]

Yaws recurrence in children at continued risk of infection.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022 BackgroundIn yaws-endemic areas, children with Treponema pallidum subsp. pertenue infection may suffer recurrent episodes due to either reinfection or relapse.

Hydrogen‐Assisted Fracture of Iron‐Based Fe–Ni–Al Alloys
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Principal relations and fracture mechanisms of single‐phase and precipitate‐strengthened Fe–Ni–Al alloys subjected to prior electrochemical hydrogen charging are identified. The mechanisms of hydrogen effect on strength and microhardness are discussed, including hydrogen‐induced increase in microhardness and the role of hydrogen in fracture behavior ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We propose a suture‐complementary approach that integrates optical skin clearing with a strain‐programmable luminescent adhesive patch. Hyaluronic acid promotes transdermal delivery of tartrazine to improve optical clearing and stabilizes its interaction with a photosensitizer. Optical clearing increases the penetration depth of visible light into skin,

Learning Highly Dynamic Skills Transition for Quadruped Jumping Through Constrained Space
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A quadruped robot masters dynamic jumps through constrained spaces with animal‐inspired moves and intelligent vision control. This hierarchical learning approach combines imitation of biological agility with real‐time trajectory planning. Although legged animals are capable of performing explosive motions while traversing confined spaces, replicating ...

Spatial-temporal clustering analysis of yaws on Lihir Island, Papua New Guinea to enhance planning and implementation of eradication programs. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018 BACKGROUND:In the global program for the eradication of yaws, assessments of the prevalence of the disease are used to decide where to initiate mass treatment.
