Personal exposure to cough released droplets in quiescent environment and ventilated spaces
This study shows the results of an experimental investigation of personal exposure to cough released droplets. Human body is resembled by a thermal manikin with a body shape and surface temperature distribution of a real person. The objective of the study ...
2014Human convection flow in spaces with and without ventilation: personal exposure to floor-released particles and cough-released droplets
The effects of the human convective boundary layer (CBL), room airflow patterns, and their velocities on personal exposure are examined. Two pollutants are studied which simulate particles released from the feet and generated at distances of 2 and 3 m by a ...
2014European genetic diversity and susceptibility to pathogens
Jacques Fellay, Amalio Telenti
Infectious diseases, both in their endemic and epidemic forms, have shaped the human genome. Ecology has also contributed to geographically constrained pressures on human populations. There are now multiple examples of population-specific genetic variants ...
2013Virus transfer proportions between gloved fingertips, soft berries, and lettuce, and associated health risks
Multiple outbreaks of human norovirus (hNoV) have been associated with fresh produce, such as soft berries and lettuce. Even though food handlers are considered an important source for the introduction of hNoV into food chains, their contribution to public ...
Elsevier Science Bv2013Nanoparticle size influences the magnitude and quality of mucosal immune responses after intranasal immunization
Eleonora Simeoni, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Armando Stano
Background: The development of nanoparticulate antigen-delivery systems is an important emerging area of vaccinology, being sought to amplify immune responses to recombinant antigens that are poorly immunogenic. Nanoparticle size may play an important role ...
Elsevier2012A strategy to discover genes that carry multi-allelic or mono-allelic risk for common diseases: A cohort allelic sums test (CAST)
A method is described to discover if a gene carries one or more allelic mutations that confer risk for any specified common disease. The method does not depend upon genetic linkage of risk-conferring mutations to high frequency genetic markers such as sing ...
2007Resveratrol improves mitochondrial function and protects against metabolic disease by activating SIRT1 and PGC-1alpha
Diminished mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and aerobic capacity are associated with reduced longevity. We tested whether resveratrol (RSV), which is known to extend lifespan, impacts mitochondrial function and metabolic homeostasis. Treatment of mi ...
2006Nonneutralizing antibodies binding to the surface glycoprotein of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus reduce early virus spread
The biological relevance of nonneutralizing antibodies elicited early after infection with noncytopathic persistence-prone viruses is unclear. We demonstrate that cytotoxic T lymphocyte-deficient TgH(KL25) mice, which are transgenic for the heavy chain of ...
2006Selective growth of mucolytic bacteria including Clostridium perfringens in a neonatal piglet model of total parenteral nutrition
BACKGROUND: Compromised barrier function and intestinal inflammation are common complications of total parenteral nutrition (TPN). OBJECTIVE: We tested the hypothesis that the lack of enteral nutrients in TPN might select commensal or pathogenic bacteria t ...
2002dUTPase-minus caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus is attenuated for pathogenesis and accumulates G-to-A substitutions.
The importance of the virally encoded dUTPase for CAEV replication, invasiveness, pathogenesis, and genetic stability was investigated in goats infected by viruses with single point (DU-G) and deletion (DU-1) mutations of the dUTPase gene (DU gene). The DU ...
