This article challenges two connected notions in the study of Tibetan Buddhism: that Buddhist monasticism is characterized by a pronounced move towards individualism, systematically detaching monks from relational social life; and that Tibetan Buddhist doctrines of karma represent an alternative mode of identity to those constructed within household life. By comparing the ritual practices and inheritance patterns associated with household groups in Ladakh with tantric ritual forms in local Buddhist ( ...

Abstract A year since the declaration of the global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there were over 110 million cases and 2.5 million deaths. Learning from methods to track community spread of other viruses such as poliovirus, environmental virologists and those in the wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) field quickly adapted their existing methods to detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater. Unlike COVID-19 case and mortality data, there was not a global dashboard to track wastewater monitoring ...

Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has gained increasing attention as a complementary tool to conventional surveillance methods with potential for significant resource and labour savings when used for public health monitoring. Using WBE datasets to train machine learning algorithms and develop predictive models may also facilitate early warnings for the spread of outbreaks. The challenges associated with using machine learning for the analysis of WBE datasets and timeseries forecasting of COVID- ...

Markerless motion capture allows whole-body movements to be captured without the need for physical markers to be placed on the body. This enables motion capture analyses to be conducted in more ecologically valid environments. However, the influences of varied clothing on video-based markerless motion capture assessments remain largely unexplored. This study investigated two types of clothing conditions, "Sport" (gym shirt and shorts) and "Street" (unrestricted casual clothing), on gait parameters during ...

The thymus is a primary lymphoid organ, essential for the development of T-cells that will protect from invading pathogens, immune disorders, and cancer. The thymus decreases in size and cellularity with age referred to as thymus involution or atrophy. This involution causes decreased T-cell development and decreased naive T-cell emigration to the periphery, increased proportion of memory T cells, and a restricted, altered T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire. The changes in composition and function ...

Certain clinical indications and treatments such as the use of rasburicase in cancer therapy and 8-aminoquinolines for Plasmodium vivax malaria treatment would benefit from a point-of-care test for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. Three studies were conducted to evaluate the performance of one such test: the STANDARD™ G6PD Test (SD BIOSENSOR, South Korea). First, biological interference on the test performance was evaluated in specimens with common blood disorders, including high ...

Cancer has a significant impact on public health around the world. Treating cancer by chemotherapy or radiotherapy has several side effects. In combinational cancer therapy, combining nanoparticles with chemotherapeutic and/or natural agents increases the synergistic therapeutic effects by reducing undesired side effects. In the pharmaceutical field, the use of quercetin was limited due to its partial solubility in aqueous solutions. Titanium dioxide nanotubes (TNT) have a higher surface area for ...

Background: Bacterial biofilms cause chronic orthopaedic infections. Surgical debridement to remove biofilm can be ineffective without adjuvant local antimicrobials because undetected biofilm fragments may remain in the wound and reestablish the infection if untreated. However, the concentrations and duration of antimicrobial exposure necessary to eradicate bacteria from clinical biofilms remain largely undefined. In this study, we determined the minimum biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC) of ...

Local antimicrobial delivery is a promising strategy for improving treatment of deep surgical site infections (SSIs) by eradicating bacteria that remain in the wound or around its margins after surgical debridement. Eradication of biofilm bacteria can require sustained exposure to high antimicrobial concentrations (we estimate 100-1000 μg/mL sustained for 24 h) which are far in excess of what can be provided by systemic administration. We have previously reported the development of temperature-responsive ...

Abstract Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a persistent clinical challenge. Local antimicrobial delivery may reduce the risk of SSI by increasing drug concentrations and distribution in vulnerable surgical sites compared to what is achieved using systemic antimicrobial prophylaxis alone. In this work, we describe a comprehensive in vivo evaluation of the safety and efficacy of poly( N ‐isopropylacrylamide‐ co ‐dimethylbutyrolactone acrylamide‐ co ‐Jeffamine M‐1000 acrylamide) [PNDJ], an injectable ...
