Impact of early life exposure to heat and cold on linguistic development in two-year-old children: findings from the ELFE cohort study

Abstract Background A number of negative developmental outcomes in response to extreme temperature have been documented. Yet, to our knowledge, environmental research has left the question of the effect of temperature on human neurodevelopm...

Cost effective reproduction number based strategies for reducing deaths from COVID-19

Abstract In epidemiology, the effective reproduction number R e $R_{e}$ is used to characterize the growth rate of an epidemic outbreak. If R e > 1 $R_{e} >1$ , the epidemic worsens, and if R e < 1 $R_{e}< 1$ , then it subsides and eventual...

Life Stage-Specific Burdens and Impacts of Gastrointestinal Nematodes in Beef Cattle in the United States: A Review of Diagnostics, Impacts on Productivity, and Immune Response

Gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) remain a significant challenge to productivity and sustainability in beef cattle systems in the United States, contributing to subclinical reductions in growth, reproductive performance, and overall herd he...

Epidemiology and burden of osteoarthritis

BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease involving the cartilage and many of its surrounding tissues. Disease progression is usually slow but can ultimately lead to joint failure with pain and disability. OA of the hi...

Psoriasis: epidemiology

The Epidemiology of Endometriosis

Advances in understanding the epidemiology of endometriosis have lagged behind other diseases because of methodologic problems related to disease definition and control selection. Nevertheless, a better picture of the epidemiology of endome...

Foundations of Epidemiology

If the American health community were to select a dean of epidemiology it would surely be Professor Abraham (Abe) Lilienfeld of the John Hopkins University. He and his son David have collaborated in producing one of the most lucid, stimulat...

Nurse-coordinated home-based cardiac rehabilitation for patients with heart failure: A scoping review

Objectives: This study aimed to review and summarize the studies of nurse-coordinated home-based cardiac rehabilitation for patients with heart failure. Methods: The review was performed using Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review framework....

The niche-derived glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) induces migration of mouse spermatogonial stem/progenitor cells.

In mammals, the biological activity of the stem/progenitor compartment sustains production of mature gametes through spermatogenesis. Spermatogonial stem cells and their progeny belong to the class of undifferentiated spermatogonia, a germ ...

Estimates for Lyme borreliosis infections based on models using sentinel canine and human seroprevalence data

Two models were developed to estimate Lyme borreliosis (LB) cases. One was based on the seroprevalence of Borrelia infections in human samples. This model used corrections for false negative and false positive results from published test se...

Nanoparticles: Taking a Unique Position in Medicine

The human nature of curiosity, wonder, and ingenuity date back to the age of humankind. In parallel with our history of civilization, interest in scientific approaches to unravel mechanisms underlying natural phenomena has been developing. ...

SOCIAL SCIENCES AND MEDICINE

Medicine, as both science and art, relies on a spectrum of knowledge to inform patient care and, by extension, to deliver that care and set health care policy. The research essential to create that knowledge comes from a wide range of scien...

Enhancing vocational training in corrections: A type 1 hybrid randomized controlled trial protocol for evaluating virtual reality job interview training among returning citizens preparing for community re-entry

The Michigan Department of Corrections operates the Vocational Villages, which are skilled trades training programs set within prisons that include an immersive educational community using virtual reality, robotics, and other technologies t...

Discriminating Similar Naval Vessels Using YOLOv8 Deep Neural Network

The next generation of United States Navy uncrewed aerial systems (UASs) is expected to operate in global positioning system and radio frequency-denied maritime environments. In these challenging conditions, these UASs must accurately ident...

Decentralized Cooperative Localization Approach for Autonomous Multirobot Systems

This study proposes the use of a split covariance intersection algorithm (Split-CI) for decentralized multirobot cooperative localization. In the proposed method, each robot maintains a local cubature Kalman filter to estimate its own pose ...

Embedded Sensor Data Fusion and TinyML for Real-Time Remaining Useful Life Estimation of UAV Li Polymer Batteries

The accurate real-time estimation of the remaining useful life (RUL) of lithium-polymer (LiPo) batteries is a critical enabler for ensuring the safety, reliability, and operational efficiency of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Nevertheless...

Exploring a Novel Material and Approach in 3D-Printed Wrist-Hand Orthoses

This article proposes the integration of two novel aspects into the production of 3D-printed customized wrist-hand orthoses. One aspect involves the material, particularly Colorfabb varioShore thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) filament with ...
