Assessment of In Vitro Immunostimulatory Activity of an Adjuvanted Whole-Cell Inactivated Neisseria gonorrhoeae Microparticle Vaccine Formulation
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
The emergence of drug-resistant gonorrhea infections worldwide combined with the lack of a vaccine is alarming. We prepared a novel microparticulate (MP) vaccine formulation using whole-cell inactivated Neisseria gonorrhoeae ...
Ultrasound Intima-Media Complex (IMC) Segmentation Using Deep Learning Models
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2023 , Article)
Common carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is a common measure of atherosclerosis, often assessed through carotid ultrasound images. However, the use of deep learning methods for medical image analysis, segmentation and ...
Pathogenicity and virulence of monkeypox at the human-animal-ecology interface
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2023 , Article)
Monkeypox (Mpox) was mostly limited to Central and Western Africa, but recently it has been reported globally. The current review presents an update on the virus, including ecology and evolution, possible drivers of ...
