Safety of upper-room ultraviolet germicidal air disinfection for room occupants: results from the Tuberculosis Ultraviolet Shelter Study.
Edward A. Nardell,Scott J. Bucher,Philip W. Brickner,Charles Wang,Richard L. Vincent,Kathleen Becan-McBride,Mark A. James,Max Michael,James D. Wright +8 more
TL;DR: Findings demonstrate that careful application of upper-room UVGI can be achieved without an apparent increase in the incidence of the most common side effects of accidental UV overexposure.

Mother-to-child transmission of Chagas' disease in North America: why don't we do more?
Pierre Buekens,Olivia Almendares,Yves Carlier,Yves Carlier,Eric Dumonteil,Eric Dumonteil,Mark L. Eberhard,Rubi Gamboa-Leon,Mark A. James,Nicolás Padilla,Dawn M. Wesson,Xu Xiong +11 more
TL;DR: The data available in Canada, Mexico, and the United States is reviewed to better understand the epidemiology of mother-to-child transmission of T. cruzi in North America and to develop effective prevention programs.

The reproductive endocrine response to Plasmodium vivax infection in Hondurans.
TL;DR: Depressed androgen levels during physiologic perturbations may be an advantageous, adaptive host response to ameliorate immunosuppression by higher testosterone levels and to curb the use of energetic resources for metabolically expensive anabolic functions.

Cockroach exposure independent of sensitization status and association with hospitalizations for asthma in inner-city children.
TL;DR: Exposure to cockroach allergen was strongly associated with increased hospitalization in children with asthma and this effect cannot be explained entirely by IgE-mediated inflammation.

Testosterone correlates with Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus infection in macaques
TL;DR: Testosterone levels were positively associated with viremia following exposure and were significantly higher than levels obtained during infection, suggesting that disease-induced androgen suppression is a reasonable area for future study.
