Downburst-like experimental impinging jet measurements at the WindEEE Dome.

This paper describes the dataset of measurements collected and published in the context of the comprehensive experimental campaign on downburst-like outflows that was performed at the WindEEE Dome at Western University, Canada. Downbursts are strong downdrafts of air that originate from thunderstorm clouds and create vigorous radial outflows upon hitting the ground. Downbursts are here simulated as transient phenomena produced by large-scale impinging jet.

The Conundrum of Giglio Island: Unraveling the dynamics of an apparent resistance to COVID-19 - A descriptive study.

Objectives: Despite an extensive risk of exposure to COVID-19, the residents of Giglio Island, Italy, did not develop any symptom of SARS-CoV-2. The present study aims to characterize the nature of exposure and to describe the local population dynamics underlying its apparent resistance to COVID-19.

Methods: Descriptive study of an islander partially-segregated population cohort based on a seroprevalence screening conducted from Aprile 29 to May 3, 2020 and including SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence and viral prevalence in samples of saliva assessed through RT-qPCR.

Asymmetric Tactile Foot Stimulation: How Postural Studies May Suggest New Views of Hypnotizability.

Earlier studies have shown hypnotizability-related postural effects of visual suppression and of leg and neck proprioceptive alteration. This study completes this investigation by demonstrating the postural effects of asymmetric tactile foot stimulation in standing participants with different hypnotizability scores. During this stimulation, body sway changed in medium-to-high more than in low-to-medium hypnotizable participants.

[Foodborne disease outbreaks around the urban Chilean areas from 2005 to 2010].

Background: Foodborne disease outbreaks are one of the main health problems all over the world, which have an extensive impact on human health.

Objective: [corrected] To analyze the foodborne disease outbreaks occurred in Chilean urban area from 2005 to 2010.

Methods: We made a descriptive epidemiologic study.

[Outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis in Antofagasta Region, Chile 2010].

Outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis are a public health problem. Norovirus is known as the most common cause (50%). In Chile, immediate notification allows surveillance of these events.
