Article Abstract

Spatial autocorrelation (SA) methods were recently extended to detect local spatial autocorrelation (LSA) at individual localities. LSA statistics serve as useful indicators of local genetic population structure. We applied this method to 15 allele frequencies from 43 villages of a South American tribe, the Yanomama. Based on a network of links

Accurate segmentation of brain tumors from MRI scans is a critical task in medical image analysis, yet it remains challenging due to the complex and variable nature of tumor shapes and sizes. Traditional convolutional neural networks (CNNs), while effective for local feature extraction, struggle to capture long-range dependencies crucial for 3D medical image analysis. To address these limitations, this paper presents VcaNet, a novel architecture that integrates a Vision Transformer (ViT) with a fusion channel and spatial attention module (CBAM), aimed at enhancing 3D brain tumor segmentation.

Objective: to analyze the spatial-temporal pattern of childbirths and flow of postpartum women assisted at a regional reference maternity hospital.

Methods: ecological study of 4,081 childbirths, between September 2018 and December 2021, at a public maternity hospital in the Baixo Tocantins region, Pará, Brazil. With data collected from five sources, a geographic database was constructed, and spatial analysis was used with Kernel density interpolator.

Universidade de São Paulo, Faculty of Public Health, Postgraduate Degree in Public Health - São Paulo (SP), Brasil.

Objective: To identify clusters of high and low risk for the occurrence of leptospirosis in space and space-time in Acre, between 2001 and 2022, as well as to characterize temporal trends and epidemiological profiles of the disease in the state.

Methods: An ecological study of cases mandatorily reported by health services in Brazil. For the analysis of clusters in space and space-time, the SaTScan software was used, which calculated the relative risks (RR).

Single-cell analysis reveals ESX-1-mediated accumulation of permissive macrophages in infected mouse lungs.

(MTB) ESX-1, a type VII secretion system, is a key virulence determinant contributing to MTB's survival within lung mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs), but its effect on MNP recruitment and differentiation remains unknown. Here, using multiple single-cell RNA sequencing techniques, we studied the role of ESX-1 in MNP heterogeneity and response in mice and murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM). We found that ESX-1 is required for MTB to recruit diverse MNP subsets with high MTB burden.

The prevalence of childhood obesity is increasing worldwide, along with the associated common comorbidities of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease in later life. Motivated by evidence for a strong genetic component, our prior genome-wide association study (GWAS) efforts for childhood obesity revealed 19 independent signals for the trait; however, the mechanism of action of these loci remains to be elucidated. To molecularly characterize these childhood obesity loci, we sought to determine the underlying causal variants and the corresponding effector genes within diverse cellular contexts.
