Joint whole exome sequencing and linkage analysis in a multigenerational family segregating Type 1 Diabetes
… we studied a Sardinian family with 9 individuals affected across 3 generations. Methods: We performed exome sequencing in 3 affected members and a healthy individual. In addition, all samples were extensively genotyped using Illumina OmniExpress beadchips for about 750K SNPs. A …

Transferability of Productivity Loss Costs in Non-Communicable Diseases: Local Factors and Regional Adjustments
… sciences, productivity loss (PL) refers to the individual’s forgone output due to a health issue corresponding to the reduced output compared to a healthy individual. Recent years have seen considerable attention towards the adoption of a societal perspective in health economic evaluations …

A retrospective analysis of post-mortem procedures of sudden unexpected death in the young investigated at Salt River Forensic Pathology Services, Cape Town
… in the young (SUDY) is the demise of a seemingly healthy individual aged between one and 40 years. The scope of SUDY investigation varies and there is little research regarding SUDY at Salt River Mortuary (SRM). Accordingly, the objectives of this study were to determine the number of SUDY cases …

Clotting analysis of blood samples from intensive care unit patients.
… unit patients. Nine haemophiliac samples and 14 healthy individual samples were used as controls. Several assays were used to assess coagulation in these sample groups. These included coagulation screens, individual factor assays and global assays [calibrated automated thrombography, whole blood …

Real-time brain-machine interface architectures : neural decoding from plan to movement
… interfaces (BMI) aim to enable motor function in individuals with neurological injury or disease, by recording the neural activity, mapping or 'decoding' it into a motor command, and then controlling a device such as a computer interface or robotic arm. BMI research has largely focused on the …

The innate response to fungal infection
In the healthy individual fungal infections are relatively benign, however in the rapidly increasing population of immunosuppressed patients fungal infections have become an increasing cause of morbidity and mortality. In the response to fungal pathogens, the innate immune system recognises a …
