.... Public transportation is critical to support community engagement. However, little is known about transportation challenges in naturally occurring retirement communities (NORC). Therefore, the purpose of this ecological theory-informed study was to explore supports and limitations regarding safe public...

... of naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORMs: ²²⁶Ra (≈²³⁸U),²³²Th, ⁴⁰K) on the roadside dust samples collected from a coastal city (Khulna) and a highly urban megacity (Dhaka), Bangladesh. The corresponding radioactivity was calculated based on Instrumental...

... Background Human immunity triggered by natural malaria infections impedes parasite transmission from humans to mosquitoes, leading to interest in transmission-blocking vaccines. However, immunity characteristics, especially strain specificity, remain largely unexplored. We investigated naturally acquired...

... to 23 July in mimosa in 2021. Following retrieval from the field, natural and sentinel egg masses were held in an environmental chamber (12: 12 h [L:D]; 25 ± 2.0 °C; 50 ± 10% RH) until parasitoid emergence, whereupon each individual egg in a mass was assessed for predation damage and parasitism...

... proportion of the population ever infected. We used different variables to define the proportion of the population with naturally acquired immunity in the subanalysis. For the Alpha wave, we used the proportion of the total population ever infected in each state before vaccine introduction, which...

... were the main independent variables. In both models, we estimated naturally acquired immunity versus vaccine-induced immunity for each outcome, by applying logistic regression to calculate the odds ratio (OR) between the 2 groups with associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results were...

... (FSs) vs. naturally occurring sugars (NOSs)], remain to be thoroughly documented. Objective The objective was to examine whether FS and NOS intakes from drinks and solid foods are associated with cardiometabolic risk factors in a sample of French-speaking adults from the province of Quebec, Canada...

This scoping review aimed to describe and synthesize the ways in which community-based housing models relate to older adults’ aging in place and identify strengths and gaps in the literature. Research Design and Methods The housing models explored were villages, naturally occurring retirement...

Two of the four blocks were established in white spruce plantations and two in naturally regenerated softwood stands dominated by balsam fir ( Figure 1a ; information on each block can...

Nonhuman primate models of maternal androgen exposure or peripubertal T-onset most closely emulate PCOS pathophysiology and its metabolic sequelae, and recent work with naturally hyperandrogenic PCOS-like...

... benign chemicals in insect pest management. Naturally occurring toxins often have more desirable properties than conventional synthetic pesticides for pest management programs because of their rapid environmental biodegradation, reduced nontarget effects, and generally lower toxicity to nontargets like...

.... Abstract Background The collection of clinical data from a tribal population in a malaria-endemic area of India suggests the occurrence of naturally acquired immunity (NAI) against Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Methods Quantity and functionality of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against...

Using data from PATRICIA and Costa Rica Vaccine trials, the risk of detecting a new HPV-18 infection and associated lesions was compared between women HPV seropositive and seronegative at enrollment. High HPV-18 naturally...
