Demographics, perceptions, and socioeconomic factors affecting influenza vaccination among adults in the United States
(PeerJ, 2018-07-13)Objective. The study objective is to analyze influenza vaccination status by demographic factors, perceived vaccine efficacy, social influence, herd immunity, vaccine cost, health insurance status, and barriers to influenza ... -
Different mechanisms regulate productive herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and HSV-2 infections in adult trigeminal neurons
(2013-03-20)Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and HSV-2 establish latency in different neuronal subtypes (A5+ and KH10+) in murine trigeminal ganglia, results which correlate with restricted productive infection in these neurons in vitro. ... -
Effect Modification by Environmental Quality on the Association between Heatwaves and Mortality in Alabama, United States
(MDPI, 2017-09-28)Background: Previous studies have shown that heatwaves are associated with increased mortality. However, it remains unclear whether the associations between heatwaves and mortality are modified by the environmental ... -
Environmental Predictors of US County Mortality Patterns on a National Basis
(PLOS, 2015-12-02)A growing body of evidence has found that mortality rates are positively correlated with social inequalities, air pollution, elevated ambient temperature, availability of medical care and other factors. This study develops ... -
Epidemiological and economic impact of pandemic influenza in Chicago: Priorities for vaccine interventions
(PLOS, 2017-06-01)The study objective is to estimate the epidemiological and economic impact of vaccine interventions during influenza pandemics in Chicago, and assist in vaccine intervention priorities. Scenarios of delay in vaccine ... -
Epidemiological Modeling of Bovine Brucellosis in India

Evaluation of a mindfulness-based stress management and nutrition education program for mothers
(Cogent, 2019-10-31)Background: Maternal stress is implicated in obesity and obesity-related chronic disease. This can have consequences for their children’s weight status and disease development. Interventions are needed that target both ... -
Evaluation of the Efficacy of Disinfectant Footmats for the Reduction of Bacterial Contamination on Footwear in a Large Animal Veterinary Hospital
(American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2016-11)Background: Infection control is critical to providing high-quality patient care. Many veterinary teaching hospitals (VTHs) utilize footbaths or footmats at entrances and key control points throughout the facility to ... -
Facilitators and barriers of parental attitudes and beliefs toward school-located influenza vaccination in the United States: Systematic review.
(2017-04-11)The study objective was to identify facilitators and barriers of parental attitudes and beliefs toward school-located influenza vaccination in the United States. In 2009, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices ... -
Feasibility for Measuring Transverse Area Ratios and Asymmetry of Lumbosacral Region Paraspinal Muscles in Working Dogs Using Computed Tomography
(Frontiers, 2016)Objectives: Describe computed tomographic (CT) anatomy of canine lumbosacral (LS) paraspinal muscles, a method for measuring paraspinal muscle transverse area ratios and asymmetry using CT, and application of this method ... -
Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Reactivates from Autonomic Ciliary Ganglia Independently from Sensory Trigeminal Ganglia To Cause Recurrent Ocular Disease
(American Society for Microbiology, 2015-08-01)Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and HSV-2 establish latency in sensory and autonomic neurons after ocular or genital infection, but their recurrence patterns differ. HSV-1 reactivates from latency to cause recurrent orofacial ... -
LAT Region Factors Mediating Differential Neuronal Tropism of HSV-1 and HSV-2 Do Not Act in Trans
(PLOS, 2012-12-31)After HSV infection, some trigeminal ganglion neurons support productive cycle gene expression, while in other neurons the virus establishes a latent infection. We previously demonstrated that HSV-1 and HSV-2 preferentially ... -
Lost in translation: Delivering culturally and linguistically appropriate interventions to Hispanic populations
(2015)Hispanics became the United States' largest minority in 2012. Lack of culturally and linguistically appropriate interventions in the Hispanic population at the health-care and community levels increases the risk of negative ... -
A Mathematical Model of Skeletal Muscle Disease and Immune Response in the mdx Mouse
(Hindawi, 2014-06-11)Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disease that results in the death of affected boys by early adulthood. The genetic defect responsible for DMD has been known for over 25 years, yet at present there is neither ... -
Mechanisms of Communicating Health Information Through Facebook: Implications for Consumer Health Information Technology Design
(2016-08)Background: Consumer health information technology (IT) solutions are designed to support patient health management and have the ability to facilitate patients' health information communication with their social networks. ... -
Multi-scale immunoepidemiological modeling of within-host and between-host HIV dynamics: systematic review of mathematical models
(PeerJ, 2017-09-28)Objective The objective of this study is to conduct a systematic review of multi-scale HIV immunoepidemiological models to improve our understanding of the synergistic impact between the HIV viral-immune dynamics at the ... -
Navigable rivers facilitated the spread and recurrence of plague in pre-industrial Europe
(Springer Nature, 2016-10-10)Infectious diseases have become a rising challenge to mankind in a globalizing world. Yet, little is known about the inland transmission of infectious diseases in history. In this study, we based on the spatiotemporal ...
