• This study will test whether an investigational drug, solanezumab, can slow the progression of memory problems associated with amyloid, a protein that forms plaques in the brains of people with Alzheimer disease. (nih.gov)
• People with younger-onset Alzheimer's can be in the early, middle or late stage of the disease. (alz.org)
• UK government estimates suggest that 500,000 people have immune-suppressive diseases. (nature.com)
• Background: HTLV-1 infects millions of people around the world and induces myelopathy (HAM/TSP), adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) or other inflammatory or rheumatologic diseases. (fiocruz.br)
• Community spread is driven by asymptomatic people. (go.com)

Undergo1

• A 1992 consensus statement from the National Institutes of Health, 9 updated by the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons in 2010, 10 recommends that almost no asymptomatic patients undergo cholecystectomy. (aafp.org)

Cases12

• Since the early 1990s, the World Health Organization (WHO) has reported a steadily increasing trend in human plague cases, which has resulted in the recognition of plague as a reemerging disease ( 1 ). (cdc.gov)
• these account for 9.5% of cases and 15.5% of deaths from this disease in Asia ( 1 ). (cdc.gov)
• 2 cases of Wilson's disease diagnosed at the infra-clinical stage. (nih.gov)
• In 2006-7, Center for Disease Control (CDC) reported seventy human cases of salmonellosis were associated with Salmonella Schwarzengrund and this serotype, based on the pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) pattern, was indistinguishable from Salmonella Schwarzengrund isolated from dry dog foods manufactured by a company in the United States (10). (nih.gov)
• How frequently do cases of salmonellosis occur in pets, and how frequently do they develop a carrier state, where they harbor the bacteria but do not show signs of disease? (nih.gov)
• 1-4] It can be a sign of potentially life-threatening diseases such as urological malignancies in around 23% of cases,[1] or other benign diseases of urologic concern like urolithiasis. (jmust.org)
• However, several other arboviruses continue to cause sporadic cases and seasonal outbreaks of neuroinvasive disease (i.e., meningitis, encephalitis, or acute flaccid paralysis) ( 1, 2 ). (cdc.gov)
• In 2010, 40 states and the District of Columbia (DC) reported 1,021 cases of WNV disease. (cdc.gov)
• Using standard definitions, human cases are classified as neuroinvasive disease (i.e., meningitis, encephalitis, or acute flaccid paralysis) or nonneuroinvasive disease ( 3 ). (cdc.gov)
• Because of the substantial associated morbidity, detection and reporting of neuroinvasive disease cases is assumed to be more consistent and complete than for nonneuroinvasive disease cases. (cdc.gov)
• In 2010, a total of 1,021 human cases of WNV disease, including 629 (62%) cases of neuroinvasive disease were reported from 40 states and DC. (cdc.gov)
• Many cases have been asymptomatic. (247wallst.com)

Estimates1

• We also show that as the length of asymptomatic generation intervals increase, estimates of the realized proportion of asymptomatic transmission during the exponential phase of the epidemic decrease. (medrxiv.org)

Atherosclerotic disease1

• Coronary atherosclerotic disease is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity due to major cardiovascular events in the United States and abroad. (bvsalud.org)
