Background: Production of anti-phosphatidylserine (anti-PS) antibodies has been associated with malaria and can aggravate pathology. How these autoantibodies develop during early childhood in a malaria context is not known. We examined levels of anti-PS IgG and IgM antibodies in a longitudinal cohort of mother-baby pairs during birth, in the infants at 2.5, 6 months, and in mothers and their babie

A Python package to evaluate Wannier, Wannier–Stark, and EZ (both energy and location Z resolved) levels for quantum cascade lasers is presented. We provide the underlying theory in detail with a focus on the orthonormality and periodicity of the generated states.

In-situ remediation through the injection of bioremediation fluids is becoming increasingly common for treating contaminated sites. Contaminants are targeted for treatment either directly at the source zone or through injections that form a permeable reactive barrier to prevent further transport of the contaminants. Commonly, multiple injections are performed in a grid covering an area of strategi

UNLABELLED: Maintaining high-affinity antibodies after vaccination may be important for long-lasting immunity to malaria, but data on induction and kinetics of affinity is lacking. In a phase 1 malaria vaccine trial, antibody affinity increased following a second vaccination but declined substantially over 12 months, suggesting poor maintenance of high-affinity antibodies.CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRAT

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare disease that affects the pulmonary vasculature. Characterized by increased pulmonary arterial pressures and vascular resistance, it causes right heart failure (HF), and premature death. The main symptom, exertional dyspnoea, is non-specific where patient’s and doctor’s delay often lead to diagnosis in advanced stages. Despite development of PAH speci

We propose a novel hybrid approach that integrates Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (NODEs) with Bayesian optimization to address the dynamics and parameter estimation of a modified time-delay-type Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR) model incorporating immune memory. This approach leverages a neural network to produce continuous multi-wave infection profiles by learning from both data and th

The transition towards a circular economy (CE)relies on a supporting policy framework. TheEU is currently recognised as a global leader inclimate action and has adopted a comprehensivepolicy package to reach the objectives set outin its Circular Economy Action Plan. This paperexamines current and planned CE policies, theirkey impact on industries – with a focus on es-tablished manufacturing indust

This chapter explores and compares the different uses of images of human fetuses in a number of Swedish television programs dealing with the controversial issue of fetal research in the period from the late 1960s to the late 1980s. Drawing on previous discussions on fetal imagery and ‘the public fetus,’ the analysis focuses on the different representational strategies used in a sample of programs

BACKGROUND: Malaria remains a significant public health concern, especially for the deadliest parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. During acute malaria, various cytokines, including osteopontin (OPN), regulate the immune response. OPN has been shown to be protective against malaria in mice. Nonetheless, its precise function and potential ability to control parasites during acute malaria in humans rema
