Viral testing for pediatric inpatients with respiratory symptoms is common, with considerable associated charges. In an attempt to reduce testing volumes, we studied whether data available at the time of admission could aid in identifying children wi...
An estimated 183,000 Brazilian children are at risk of losing their mothers to AIDS, according to a survey released. The survey, sponsored by UNICEF, was conducted by the John Snow Institute. Survey estimates are that 10,600 Brazilian children younge...

In this paper, a virus dynamics model with diffusion, state-dependent delays and a general nonlinear functional response is investigated. At first, the dynamical system is constructed on a nonlinear metric space. Then the stability of the interior eq...
Improved identification of bacterial and viral infections would reduce morbidity from sepsis, reduce antibiotic overuse, and lower healthcare costs. Here, we develop a generalizable host-gene-expression-based classifier for acute bacterial and viral ...

BACKGROUND: Machine learning (ML) allows the analysis of complex and large data sets and has the potential to improve health care. The clinical microbiology laboratory, at the interface of clinical practice and diagnostics, is of special interest for...
Many problems exist within the myriad of currently employed screening and diagnostic methods. Further, an incredibly wide variety of procedures are used to identify an even greater number of diseases which exist in the world. There is a definite unme...
High-throughput B-cell sequencing has opened up new avenues for investigating complex mechanisms underlying our adaptive immune response. These technological advances drive data generation and the need to mine and analyze the information contained in...
The protein-protein interactions (PPIs) between human and viruses mediate viral infection and host immunity processes. Therefore, the study of human-virus PPIs can help us understand the principles of human-virus relationships and can thus guide the ...
