Mathematical models for vector-borne disease: effects of periodic environmental variations.
… simple SIS/SIR model for a general vector-borne disease transmission considering constant population sizes over the season, where contact between the host and the vector responsible of the transmission is assumed to occur only during the summer of each year. I discussed two different types of …

Balance performance in people with Parkinson’s disease. Effects of subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation.
… of falling and falls in people with Parkinson's disease. The effect of STN stimulation alone was investigated in Papers I, II and III. The participants were evaluated after an overnight withdrawal of anti-PD medication and with the STN stimulation turned off and on. Functional balance performance …

Cytokines and aeroallergens in the pathogenesis of summer-pasture associated obstructive pulmonary disease: effects on endothelin production, neutrophil activation and chemotaxis
Summer pasture-associated obstructive pulmonary disease (SPAOPD), a naturally occurring airway disease of horses, is characterized by clinical exacerbation associated with exposure to pasture environment during the summer. Aeroallergens are believed to trigger exacerbation of SPAOPD, cytokines are …

The Effects and Mechanisms of Phytochemicals on Alzheimer’s Disease Neuropathology
<p>Alzheimer’s disease effects millions of people, yet pharmacological treatments are limited. In the absence of effective treatments, identifying factors that can decrease the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease is of significant interest. A growing body of epidemiological and experimental …

The effect of Alzheimer's disease on cortical microcircuits
… and accelerate new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease. An improved mechanistic understanding of the human disease will facilitate new treatments. Human pathophysiological biomarkers sensitive to treatment and disease mechanisms will help accelerate such new treatments. To this end, …

An Examination of the Biopsychsocial Risk Factors for Cognitive Development of Children with Sickle Cell Disease
… factors for children diagnosed with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) have been found to impact their cognitive functioning; however few studies have investigated the possible interactions of these risk factors. SCD is a chronic, hereditary, hemoglobinopathy which is most commonly found in individuals of …

Epidemiological Studies of Northern Corn Leaf Blight on Corn Inbreds: Loss Assessment and Disease Modeling
… generally have lower tolerance to stress (e.g. disease) and yield less than hybrids. Inbreds are grown to produce hybrid seed and are intensively managed because of the need to control pollen and fungicidal control of disease on inbreds is economically feasible. Little is known, however, of the …

Data-Driven Modeling For Social-Ecological Resilience within a One Health Framework
… a One Health framework is explored in both disease-affected animal populations and nutrition-sensitive agricultural systems. In animal populations, social-ecological factors can be inferred through observable social behaviors that contribute to population persistence and disease resilience. …
