Journal ArticleDOI

Incidence of invasive salmonella disease in sub-Saharan Africa: a multicentre population-based surveillance study

Florian Marks, +64 more
TL;DR: The development of iNTS vaccines and the introduction of S Typhi conjugate vaccines should be considered for high-incidence settings, such as those identified in this study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic and environmental effects on body mass index from infancy to the onset of adulthood: an individual-based pooled analysis of 45 twin cohorts participating in the COllaborative project of Development of Anthropometrical measures in Twins (CODATwins) study

Karri Silventoinen, +112 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the genetic and environmental contributions to BMI variation from infancy to early adulthood and the ways they differ by sex and geographic regions representing high (North America and Australia), moderate (Europe), and low levels (East Asia) of obesogenic environments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic and environmental influences on height from infancy to early adulthood: An individual-based pooled analysis of 45 twin cohorts

Aline Jelenkovic, +107 more
- 23 Jun 2016 - 
TL;DR: Comparing geographic-cultural regions, genetic variance was greatest in North-America and Australia and lowest in East-Asia, but the relative proportion of genetic variation was roughly similar across these regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

IP-10, MCP-1, MCP-2, MCP-3, and IL-1RA hold promise as biomarkers for infection with M. tuberculosis in a whole blood based T-cell assay.

TL;DR: All biomarkers had diagnostic potential as they could differentiate between the patients and the controls and IP-10 and MCP-2 seemed most promising as they were expressed in high levels with antigen stimulation and were low in the un-stimulated samples.
Journal ArticleDOI

CXCL10/IP-10 release is induced by incubation of whole blood from tuberculosis patients with ESAT-6, CFP10 and TB7.7.

TL;DR: CXCL10 was strongly induced after M. tuberculosis specific stimulation and sensitivity appeared superior to the Quantiferon test, suggesting that CXCL 10 may serve as an alternative or additional marker for the immunodiagnosis of tuberculosis.
