On the basis of a compartment model, the epidemic curve is investigated when the net rate of change of the number of infected individuals is given by an ellipse in the - plane which is supported in . With , it is shown that (1) when , oscillation of the infection curve is self-organized and the period of the oscillation is in proportion to the ratio of the difference and the geometric mean of and , (2) when , the infection curve shows a critical behavior where it decays obeying a power law function with exponent in the long time limit after a peak, and (3) when , the infection curve decays exponentially in the long time limit after a peak. The present result indicates that the pandemic can be controlled by a measure which makes .

Predicting early diagnosis of intensive care unit-acquired weakness in septic patients using critical ultrasound and biological markers.
BMC Anesthesiol
January 2025
Department of Critical Care Medicine, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, 37 Guo Xue Xiang St, Chengdu, 610041, Sichuan, China.
Objective: Early diagnosis of intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW) is crucial for improving the outcomes of critically ill patients. Hence, this study was designed to identify predisposing factors for ICUAW and establish a predictive model for the early diagnosis of ICUAW.
Methods: This prospective observational multicenter study included septic patients from the comprehensive ICUs of West China Hospital of Sichuan University and 10 other hospitals between September and November 2023.
Risk Factors for Postoperative Infection in Patients After Pilon Fracture Fixation.
J Foot Ankle Surg
January 2025
The Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel; Orthopedic Department, Rambam Medical Center, Haifa, Israel.
The combination of high energy fractures, extensive soft tissue trauma, and high infection rates in pilon fractures of the distal tibia have long challenged surgeons. Despite the ample evidence, there is no consensus regarding the factors that may influence postoperative infections following surgical management of these fractures. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for postoperative infections in patients undergoing surgical management for pilon fractures.

Objective: To analyse the distribution of pathogens, risk factors and inflammatory indicators related to pelvic infection after hysterectomy.
Methods: Patients who underwent hysterectomy at Women's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between January 2022 and January 2023 were recruited into this study. Vaginal secretions from patients with suspected postoperative pelvic infection were collected for pathogen cultivation, identification, and antimicrobial susceptibility analysis.
CXCL-10 in Cerebrospinal Fluid Detects Neuroinflammation in HTLV-1-Associated Myelopathy with High Accuracy.
Viruses
January 2025
Programa de Pós-Graduação em Doenças Infecciosas e Parasitárias, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro 21941-913, Brazil.
Background And Objectives: HTLV-1-associated myelopathy (HAM) is a chronic progressive inflammatory disease of the spinal cord. This study assesses the diagnostic accuracy of the neuroinflammatory biomarkers neopterin and cysteine-X-cysteine motif chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL-10) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for HAM.
Methods: CSF samples from 75 patients with neurological disorders-33 with HAM (Group A), 19 HTLV-1-seronegative with other neuroinflammatory diseases (Group B), and 23 HTLV-1-seronegative with non-neuroinflammatory diseases (Group C)-were retrospectively evaluated.
Co-Infection of Mosquitoes with Rift Valley Fever Phlebovirus Strains Results in Efficient Viral Reassortment.
Viruses
January 2025
Center of Excellence for Emerging and Zoonotic Animal Diseases, Diagnostic Medicine/Pathobiology, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66506, USA.
Rift Valley fever phlebovirus (RVFV) is a zoonotic mosquito-borne pathogen endemic to sub-Saharan Africa and the Arabian Peninsula which causes Rift Valley fever in ruminant livestock and humans. Co-infection with divergent viral strains can produce reassortment among the L, S, and M segments of the RVFV genome. Reassortment events can produce novel genotypes with altered virulence, transmission dynamics, and/or mosquito host range.
