Presence of host-seeking Ixodes ricinus and their infection with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in the Northern Apennines, Italy by Ragagli, C, Mannelli, A, Ambrogi, C, Bisanzio, D, Ceballos, LA, Grego, E, Martello, E, Selmi, M, Tomassone, L

“…Borrelia garinii was the most frequently identified genospecies (64.0 % of positive nymphs), followed by B. valaisiana, B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. afzelii, and B. lusitaniae. Based upon the comparison with the results of previous studies at the same location, these research findings suggest the recent invasion of the study area by the tick vector and the agents of Lyme borreliosis.…”

Dynamics of localized waves in one-dimensional random potentials : statistical theory of the coherent forward scattering peak by Lee, Kean Loon, Miniatura, Christian, Grémaud, Benoît

“…This is in perfect agreement with recent findings based on the nonlinear sigma model. In the stationary regime, the width of the CFS peak in momentum space is inversely proportional to the localization length, reflecting the exponential decay of the eigenfunctions in real space, while its height is exactly twice the background, reflecting the Poisson statistical properties of the eigenfunctions. …”

Evaluating the impacts of lease decay on condominiums in Singapore: Bala's table revisited by Aw, Vernice Ming Hui, Yap, Cassandra Pin Xuan, Yap, Jun Hean

“…Additionally, based on our re-calculations of Bala’s Table using a hedonic regression model, leaseholds are valued much less than what the current official Bala’s Table suggests; our regression results suggest a 99-year lease condominium at start will fetch a price that is 16-20% less than its freehold counterpart. …”

Cell-free hemoglobin mediated oxidative stress is associated with acute kidney injury and renal replacement therapy in severe falciparum malaria: an observational study by Plewes, Katherine, Kingston, Hugh W.F., Ghose, Aniruddha, Maude, Richard J., Herdman, M. Trent, Leopold, Stije J., Ishioka, Haruhiko, Hasan, Md. Mahtab Uddin, Haider, Md. Shafiul, Alam, Shamsul, Piera, Kim A., Charunwatthana, Prakaykaew, Silamut, Kamolrat, Yeo, Tsin Wen, Faiz, Md. Abul, Lee, Sue J., Mukaka, Mavuto, Turner, Gareth D. H., Anstey, Nicholas M., Jackson Roberts II, L., White, Nicholas J., Day, Nicholas P. J., Hossain, Md. Amir, Dondorp, Arjen M.

“…Results: AKI was diagnosed at enrolment in 58% (62/107) of consecutive patients with severe malaria, defined by an increase in creatinine ≥1.5 times expected baseline. Severe malaria patients with AKI had significantly higher plasma cell-free hemoglobin (geometric mean CFH: 8.8 μM; 95% CI, 6.2–12.3 μM), F2-isoprostane (56.7 pg/ml; 95% CI, 45.3–71.0 pg/ml) and isofuran (109.2 pg/ml; 95% CI, 85.1–140.1 pg/ml) concentrations on enrolment compared to those without AKI (CFH: 5.1 μM; 95% CI, 4.0–6.6 μM; P = 0.018; F2-IsoPs: 27.8 pg/ml; 95% CI, 23.7–32.7 pg/ml; P < 0.001; IsoFs: 41.7 pg/ml; 95% CI, 30.2–57.6 pg/ml; P < 0.001). …”
