The COUGHVID crowdsourcing dataset, a corpus for the study of large-scale cough analysis algorithms

David Atienza Alonso, Tomas Teijeiro Campo, Lara Orlandic

Cough audio signal classification has been successfully used to diagnose a variety of respiratory conditions, and there has been significant interest in leveraging Machine Learning (ML) to provide widespread COVID-19 screening. The COUGHVID dataset provide ...

Symptom Prediction and Mortality Risk Calculation for COVID-19 Using Machine Learning

Nahal Mansouri, Sahand Jamal Rahi

Background: Early prediction of symptoms and mortality risks for COVID-19 patients would improve healthcare outcomes, allow for the appropriate distribution of healthcare resources, reduce healthcare costs, aid in vaccine prioritization and self-isolation ...

Size and duration of COVID-19 clusters go along with a high SARS-CoV-2 viral load: A spatio-temporal investigation in Vaud state, Switzerland

Stéphane Joost, Séverine Vuilleumier Varisco, Anaïs Laurence Ladoy, Idris Guessous, Onya Opota

To understand the geographical and temporal spread of SARS-CoV-2 during the first documented wave of infection in the state of Vaud, Switzerland, we analyzed clusters of positive cases using the precise residential location of 33,651 individuals tested (RT ...

A scenario modeling pipeline for COVID-19 emergency planning

Francisco Javier Perez Saez, Joseph Chadi Benoit Lemaitre

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused strain on health systems worldwide due to its high mortality rate and the large portion of cases requiring critical care and mechanical ventilation. During these uncertain times, public health decision makers, ...

The geography of COVID-19 spread in Italy and implications for the relaxation of confinement measures

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Damiano Pasetto, Marino Gatto

The pressing need to restart socioeconomic activities locked-down to control the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Italy must be coupled with effective methodologies to selectively relax containment measures. Here we employ a spatially explicit model, properly atten ...

Seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies in Geneva, Switzerland (SEROCoV-POP): a population-based study

Didier Trono, Idris Guessous, Benjamin André René Meyer, David Nicolas De Ridder, Dusan Petrovic

Assessing the burden of COVID-19 on the basis of medically attended case numbers is suboptimal given its reliance on testing strategy, changing case definitions, and disease presentation. Population-based serosurveys measuring anti-severe acute respiratory ...

New antimicrobial surfaces and intravascular catheters for the prevention of healthcare-associated infections

Myriam Koumba Sarah Ballo

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are an important health issue around the world. The consequences of HAIs incidence include prolonged hospital stays, increased resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobials, higher costs for health systems and for t ...

Dose-dependent effects of morphine on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation, and involvement of multixenobiotic resistance (MXR) transporters in LPS efflux in teleost fish

Kristin Schirmer

Opioid drugs, such as morphine (MO), detected in aquatic environments worldwide, may harm fish due to their semi-persistence and ability to potently interact with molecular targets conserved across vertebrates. Here, we established a waterborne bacterial l ...

Mucosal immune responses following intestinal nematode infection

Nicola Harris

In most natural environments, the large majority of mammals harbour parasitic helminths that often live as adults within the intestine for prolonged periods (1-2years) . Although these organisms have been eradicated to a large extent within westernized hum ...

Detection and treatment of subclinical tuberculosis

Stewart Cole

Reduction of active disease by preventive therapy has the potential to make an important contribution towards the goal of tuberculosis (TB) elimination. This report summarises discussions amongst a Working Group convened to consider areas of research that ...

Tightness for the interface of the one-dimensional contact process

Thomas Mountford, Daniel Rodrigues Valesin

We consider a symmetric, finite-range contact process with two types of infection; both have the same (supercritical) infection rate and heal at rate 1, but sites infected by Infection I are immune to Infection 2. We take the initial configuration where si ...

Compressed Sensing with Probabilistic Measurements: A Group Testing Solution

Martin Vetterli, Amin Karbasi, Ali Hormati, Mahdi Cheraghchi Bashi Astaneh

Detection of defective members of large populations has been widely studied in the statistics community under the name ``group testing'', a problem which dates back to World War~II when it was suggested for syphilis screening. There the main interest is to ...
