The changes they are a-timed: metabolism, endogenousclocks, and the timing of puberty

Tolson, Kristen P.; Chappell, Patrick E. (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2012-03-28)

Childhood obesity has increased dramatically over the last several decades, particularly in industrialized countries, often accompanied by acceleration of pubertal progression and associated reproductive abnormalities (B ...
Clostridium difficile Spore-Macrophage Interactions: Spore Survival

Paredes-Sabja, Daniel; Cofre-Araneda, Glenda; Brito-Silva, Christian; Pizarro-Guajardo, Marjorie; Sarker, Mahfuzur R. (Public Librar of Science, 2012-08-27)

Background: Clostridium difficile is the main cause of nosocomial infections including antibiotic associated diarrhea, pseudomembranous colitis and toxic megacolon. During the course of Clostridium difficile infections ( ...
Footprint of Positive Selection in Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum Genome Sequences Suggests Adaptive Microevolution of the Syphilis Pathogen

Giacani, Lorenzo; Chattopadhyay, Sujay; Centurion-Lara, Arturo; Jeffrey, BrendanM.; Le, Hoavan T.; Molini, Barbara J.; Lukehart, Sheila A.; Sokurenko, Evgeni V.; Rockey, Daniel D. (PLoS, 2012-06-12)

In the rabbit model of syphilis, infection phenotypes associated with the Nichols and Chicago strains of Treponema pallidum (T. pallidum), though similar, are not identical. Between these strains, significant differences ...
The Impact of Imitation on Vaccination Behavior in Social Contact Networks

Mbah, Martial L. Ndeffo; Liu, Jingzhou; Bauch, Chris T.; Tekel, Yonas I.; Medlock, Jan; Meyers, Lauren Ancel; Galvani, Alison P. (International Society for Computational Biology, 2012-04)

Previous game-theoretic studies of vaccination behavior typically have often assumed that populations are homogeneously mixed and that individuals are fully rational. In reality, there is heterogeneity in the number of c ...
Optimal targeting of seasonal influenza vaccination toward younger ages isrobust to parameter uncertainty

Martial L. Ndeffo Mbah; Jan Medlock; Lauren Ancel Meyers; Alison P. Galvani; Jeffrey P. Townsend (Elsevier, 2013-04-24)

Identification of the optimal vaccine allocation for the control of influenza requires consideration of uncertainty arising from numerous unpredictable factors, including viral evolution and diversity within the human po ...
Using Gross Energy Improves Metabolizable Energy Predictive Equations for Pet Foods Whereas Undigested Protein and Fiber Content Predict Stool Quality

Hall, Jean A.; Melendez, Lynda D.; Jewell, Dennis E. (Public Library of Science, 2013-01-14)

Because animal studies are labor intensive, predictive equations are used extensively for calculating metabolizable energy (ME) concentrations of dog and cat pet foods. The objective of this retrospective review of diges ...
