Most populations of migrant shorebirds around the world are in serious decline, suggesting that vital condition-dependent rates such as fecundity and annual survival being affected globally. A striking example is red knot (Calidris canutus rufa) population wintering Tierra del Fuego, which undertakes marathon 30,000 km hemispheric migrations annually. In spring, birds forage voraciously on horseshoe crab eggs Delaware Bay eastern USA before departing to breed Arctic polar deserts. From 1997...

Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, particularly with type 16, causes a growing fraction of oropharyngeal cancers, whose incidence is increasing, mainly in developed countries. In double-blind controlled trial conducted to investigate vaccine efficacy (VE) the bivalent HPV 16/18 against cervical infections and lesions, we estimated VE prevalent oral 4 years after vaccination. Methods Findings A total 7,466 women 18–25 old were randomized (1∶1) receive HPV16/18 or hepatitis as...

Abstract Over the last decade, geometric morphometric methods have been applied increasingly to study of human form. When too few landmarks are available, outlines can be digitized as series discrete points. The individual points must slid along a tangential direction so remove variation, because contours should homologous from subject whereas their need not. This variation removed by minimizing either bending energy (BE) or Procrustes distance (D) with respect mean reference Because these...

Three-dose regimens for human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines are expensive and difficult to complete, especially in settings where the need cervical cancer prevention is greatest. We evaluated vaccine efficacy of fewer than three doses HPV16/18 Cervarix our Costa Rica Vaccine Trial. Women were randomly assigned receive or a control followed incident HPV16 HPV18 infection that persisted visits 10 more months apart (median follow-up 4.2 years). After excluding women who had no DNA positive at...

Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections. However, only a small percentage high-risk (HR) HPV infections progress to cervical precancer and cancer. In this study, we investigated role cervicovaginal microbiome (CVM) in natural history HR-HPV. Methods This study was nested within placebo arm Costa Rica Vaccine Trial that included women aged 18–25 years age. Cervical samples from two visits with an incident HR-HPV (n = 273 women)...

Among 504.6 million inhabitants member states Union (EU28), there are annually 2.64 new cases 1.28 deaths from cancer. It is estimated that this burden could be reduced by up one half if scientific knowledge on causes translated into successful prevention.

Abstract The Costa Rica HPV16/18 Vaccine Trial (CVT) showed that four-year vaccine efficacy against 12-month persistent infection was similarly high among women who received one, two, or the recommended three doses of bivalent L1 virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine. Live-attenuated viral vaccines, but not simple-subunit usually induce durable lifelong antibody responses after a single dose. It is unclear whether noninfectious VLP vaccines behave more like live-virus in this regard. To explore...

Abstract Background The authors investigated the durability of vaccine efficacy (VE) against human papillomavirus (HPV)16 or 18 infections and antibody response among nonrandomly assigned women who received a single dose bivalent HPV compared with multiple doses unvaccinated women.

It is therefore crucial to anticipate extremes their allow for preparedness emergency measures.

A subset of climate simulations the 20th century from IPCC‐AR4 is analyzed to assess ability these models reproduce observed climatological seasonal precipitation in South America during period 1970–1999. Changes model climatology a change scenario (SRESA1b) for 2070–2099 are also discussed. Results show that able main features cycle over America, although SACZ region and maximum southeastern cold season not well‐ represented. There general consensus among changes projected mainly: i) an...

Target groups for human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination are controversial. We evaluated vaccine efficacy (VE) against 1-year persistent infection, stratified by age and sexual behavior, among young women in Costa Rica. randomized 7,466 healthy 18 to 25 years of HPV16/18 or hepatitis A (follow-up, 50.4 months). According-to-protocol (ATP) cohorts included compliant HPV-negative women; intention-to-treat (ITT) all women. ATP VE was 90.9% (95% CI, 82.0-95.9) infections, 44.5% HPV31/33/45...
