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 ...

Assessing the Global Distribution and Surveillance of Yaws [PDF]
, 2022 Background: Yaws is a Neglected Tropical Disease spread by skin-to-skin contact. Left untreated, yaws can lead to lifelong pain and disfigurement. Yaws is readily treatable with antibiotics, leading to global efforts to eradicate the disease in the 1950s

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,

Integrated Mapping of Yaws and Trachoma in the Five Northern-Most Provinces of Vanuatu.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017 Yaws and trachoma are targeted for eradication and elimination as public health problems. In trachoma-endemic populations mass administration of azithromycin can simultaneously treat yaws.
