This chapter aims to describe the application framework of wastewater-based epidemiology (WWBE) as a pivotal source for public health surveillance. It seeks to bridge environmental engineering with public ...
Helicobacter pylori is a significant human pathogen associated with gastric diseases, yet the contribution of plasmids to its pathogenicity remains largely unexplored. In this study, we combined plasmid ...
The toxic gain-of-function of RNA-CUG(exp) in DM1 has been largely studied in skeletal muscle, with little focus on its effects on the central nervous system (CNS). This study aimed to study if oxidative ...
Naegleria fowleri is the causative agent of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, a rapid and acute infection of the central nervous system with a fatal outcome in >97% of cases. Due to the infrequent report ...
SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain (RBD) recognizes the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor in host cells that enables infection. Due to its antigenic specificity, RBD production is important ...
Modern westernized diet is a major risk factor associated with the current obesity epidemic. To study the effects of dietary choices of Western societies, the cafeteria diet has been validated as a preclinical ...
Human and animal feces are one of the main pollutants in drinking water systems (DWS). Both sources of fecal pollution are related to environmental conditions, such as poor land use management and little ...
Diabetes is a major cause of morbidity and mortality and represents a source of demands on already constrained healthcare systems in Latin America and the Caribbean. We estimate inequalities in diabetes ...
Gastric cancer is ranked as the third death-causing cancer and one of the most incident malignancies worldwide. Although Helicobacter pylori is the most well-established risk factor for the development ...
