Abstract In Fall 2020, universities saw extensive transmission of SARS-CoV-2 among their populations, threatening health the university and surrounding communities, viability in-person instruction. Here we report a case study at University Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where multimodal “SHIELD: Target, Test, Tell” program, with other non-pharmaceutical interventions, was employed to keep classrooms laboratories open. The program included epidemiological modeling surveillance, fast/frequent...
Male tenebrionid beetles from the Namib Desert are captured by predators more frequently than females. Males exhibit several behaviors that predispose them to an increased risk of mortality predation. In attempts find and monopolize females, males active on surface, move frequently, travel farther One result such activity is a bias in captures pitfall traps. These biased sex ratios differ significantly those censused natural populations assumed 1:1 ratio. We suggest differential predation...
In the Fall of 2020, many universities saw extensive transmission SARS-CoV-2 among their populations, threatening health students, faculty and staff, viability in-person instruction, surrounding communities. 1, 2 Here we report that a multimodal “SHIELD: Target, Test, Tell” program mitigated spread at large public university, prevented community transmission, allowed continuation classes amidst pandemic. The combines epidemiological modelling surveillance (Target); fast frequent testing...
Thiopurine methyltransferase (Tpmt) is the primary enzyme responsible for deactivating thiopurine drugs. drugs (i.e., thioguanine [TG], mercaptopurine, azathioprine) are commonly used treatment of cancer, organ transplant, and autoimmune disorders. Chronic therapy has been linked to development brain cancer (most astrocytomas), Tpmt status associated with this risk. Therefore, we investigated whether level protein activity could predict TG-associated cytotoxicity DNA damage in astrocytic...
