Figure 7. The ‘F-diagram’ illustrates major direct and indirect pathways of fecal–oral pathogen transmission and depicts the roles of water, sanitation, and hygiene interventions in providing barriers to transmission. Primary barriers prevent contact with feces, and secondary barriers prevent ingestion...
Vector-borne diseases transmitted by ticks have been on the rise worldwide since the start of the 20th century because of increased human activities with an impact on forest ecosystems, wild life animals, and domestic animals. In the Northern Hemisphere, human diseases such as Lyme borreliosis are...
When transfer learning develops a model for newly collected unlabeled samples, it can start with a training model by a similar known dataset. After fine-tuning parameters or modifying components, it can be applied to localized plant disease and pest detection, which can reduce the cost of model...
Mutations affecting mitochondrial tRNA genome sequences have been observed in the placenta of asthmatic mothers and are associated with AAS;76for example, a rare mutation in the A3243G-tRNA Leu (UUR) MELAS gene, which is thought to be associated with asthma, was found in asthmatic patients....
maturation f Although neutrophil populations have been studied in homeostasis as well as several diseases, the data are limited with regard to the contribution of specific subsets in the chronic inflammatory diseases highlighted in this review. Future investigations should include the presence and ...
Should we start and continue growth hormone (GH) replacement therapy in adults with GH deficiency? During the last decade, growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in adults has been described as a clinical syndrome. Central features of this entity include increa... JCT Maaten 被引量: 0发表: 2019年...
Different diagnostic approaches for ectatic corneal diseases (ECD) include screening, diagnosis confirmation, classification of the ECD type, severity staging, prognostic evaluation, and clinical follow-up. The comprehensive assessment must start with a directed clinical history. However, multimodal imaging ...
We will start with a couple of illustrative examples where well-characterized IDPs were shown to be associated with the pathogenesis of specific diseases. We will consider here α-synuclein, p53 and HPV proteins. Additional illustrative examples can be found in our recent review [58]. The ...
Of the 22 possible autosomes, 21 contained LD blocks with overlapping loci, with the highest number of LD blocks located in chromosome 1 and 6 (Supplementary Fig. 1). LD block locations were in reference to build GRCh37 and are presented in the format: LD block identifier, chromosome:start...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease and is characterized by progressive mental deterioration. Symptoms start with mild memory deficits and mood changes and progress to severe cognitive impairment and difficulties in swallowing and urination, eventually resulting in death60...
