A 15-year review of dengue hospitalizations in Singapore : reducing admissions without adverse consequences, 2003 to 2017 by Ang, Li Wei, Thein, Tun-Linn, Ng, Yixiang, Boudville, Irving Charles, Chia, Po Ying, Lee, Vernon Jian Ming, Leo, Yee-Sin

“…The proportions of dengue cases hospitalized and patients admitted to the ICU were highest in the elderly aged 65 years and older. Conclusions: While the proportion of dengue cases hospitalized saw a drastic decline due to more selective admission criteria, there was no concomitant increase in adverse outcomes, suggesting that admission criteria were appropriate to focus on severe dengue cases. …”

Cytomegalovirus infection is associated with an increase in aortic stiffness in older men which may be mediated in part by CD4 memory T-cells by Kirkham, Frances, Pera, Alejandra, Simanek, Amanda M., Bano, Aalia, Morrow, George, Reus, Bernhard, Caserta, Stefano, Smith, Helen Elizabeth, Davies, Kevin A., Rajkumar, Chakravarthi, Kern, Florian

“…Conclusion: CMV infection increases the CVD risk of older men by increasing cfPWV. This may be mediated in part by increased proportions of CD4 Tmem, higher numbers of which are found in CMV+ older people and more so among men than women. …”

General synthesis method for symmetrical even-order Chebyshev bandpass filter by Zhang, Songbai, Zhu, Lei

“…In this paper, two symmetrical properties are firstly found among the elements of even-order Chebyshev lowpass ladder network. A symmetrical even-order Chebyshev lowpass network with equal terminations are then proposed based on both properties, which tackles the impedance mismatch with the inverters rather than the load conductance/resistance. …”
