Influenza A subtypes are categorized into group 1 and group 2 based on hemagglutinin (HA) sequence. Owing to the phylogenetic distance of HAs in different groups, antibodies that bind multip...
We compared effects of prior vaccination and added or lost protection from current season vaccination among those previously vaccinated.Our analysis included data from the US Flu VE Network ...
Many respiratory viral infections such as influenza and measles result in severe acute respiratory symptoms and epidemics. In the spring of 2003, an epidemic of coronavirus pneumonia spread ...
H9N2, a low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) virus, causes significant economic losses in the poultry industry worldwide. Herein, we describe the construction of an attenuated Gallinarum (...
The extent to which influenza recurrence depends upon waning immunity from prior-infection is undefined. We used antibody titres of Ha-Nam cohort participants to estimate protection curves a...
In previous influenza pandemics, bacterial co-infections have been a major cause of mortality. We aimed to evaluate the burden of co-infections in patients with COVID-19.We systematically se...
Since 2011, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires the provision of certain recommended clinical preventive services without cost-sharing for individuals in traditional Medicare. We re-visit...
Conflicting recommendations exist related to whether masks have a protective effect on the spread of respiratory viruses.The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysi...
Influenza virus exploits cellular factors to complete each step of viral replication. Yet, multiple host proteins actively block replication. Consequently, infection success depends on the r...
Highly pathogenic (HP) H5N1, clade 2.2.1, and low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) H9N2 viruses, G1-B lineage, are endemic in poultry in Egypt and have co-circulated for almost a decade. Su...
The fused lasso, also known as total-variation denoising, is a locally adaptive function estimator over a regular grid of design points. In this article, we extend the fused lasso to setting...

International panel does quick turnaround McMaster University Hamilton, ON (April 1, 2020) - An international team including McMaster University researchers has come together to issue guid...
According to the currently accepted structure-property relationships, aceno-pentalenes with angular shape (fused to the 1,2-bond of the acene) exhibit higher antiaromaticity than those with ...
Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) provides information on how much extra do we need to spend per unit gain in health outcomes with introduction of any new healthcare intervention or treatmen...
Human babesiosis is a common zoonosis caused by and is attracting an increasing concern worldwide. The natural course of babesiosis infection and how the human immune system changes during ...
During influenza infection, hemagglutinins on the viral surface bind to sialic acids on the host cell's surface. Whilst all hemagglutinins bind sialic acids, human influenza targets terminal...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first reported in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, and has since spread globally, resulting in >95,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases worldwide by March 5, 2...
Avian influenza A viruses (AIVs) are among the most concerning emerging and re-emerging pathogens because of the potential risk in causing an influenza pandemic with catastrophic impact. The...
In spring 2013, a novel avian-origin influenza A (H7N9) virus emerged in mainland China. The burden of H7N9 infection was estimated based on systematic review and meta-analysis. The systemat...
