Dengue is the most prevalent arboviral disease of humans. The host and virus variables associated with dengue (DENV) transmission from symptomatic cases ( n = 208) to Aedes aegypti mosquitoes during 407 independent exposure events was defined. 50% mosquito infectious dose for each DENV-1–4 ranged 6.29 7.52 log10 RNA copies/mL plasma. Increasing day illness, declining viremia, rising antibody titers were independently reduced risk DENV transmission. High early plasma viremia levels in...
Experimental work and modeling studies reveal that Aedes aegypti infected with the Wolbachia bacterium have reduced vector competence for transmission of dengue viruses.
Objectives Postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) following coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is significantly associated with reduced survival, but poor characterisation and inconsistent definitions present barriers to developing effective prophylaxis management. We sought address this knowledge gap. Methods From 2002 2010, 11 239 consecutive patients without AF underwent isolated CABG at five sites.

Methods: population consisted 9581 patients AMI at all 11 medical centers Worcester, MA, during 10 annual periods between 1990 2007. examined included atrial fibrillation, diabetes, heart...
A limited number of studies have examined the age and sex differences, potentially changing trends, in cardiac medication procedure use patients hospitalized with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Using data from a large multinational study, we trends (1999-2007) therein, hospital evidence-based therapies ACS using Global Registry Acute Coronary Events (n=50 096).After adjustment for several variables, comparison men below 65 years, other age-sex strata had significantly lower odds receiving...
Understanding viral etiology and age-specific incidence of acute respiratory infections in infants can help identify risk groups inform vaccine delivery, but community-based data is lacking from tropical settings.One thousand four hundred seventy-eight urban Ho Chi Minh City 981 a semi-rural district southern Vietnam were enrolled at birth followed to 1 year age. Acute infection (ARI) episodes identified through clinic-based illness surveillance, hospital admissions self-reports....
Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a serious complication of acute myocardial infarction, and the time onset CS has potential role in influencing its prognosis. Limited contemporary data exist on this complication, however, especially from population-based perspective. Our study objectives were to describe decade-long trends incidence, in-hospital mortality, factors associated with development 3 temporal contexts: (1) before hospital arrival for infarction (prehospital CS); (2) within 24 hours...
