Bidirectional contact tracing dramatically improves COVID-19 control

Bradshaw, W. J., Alley, E. C., Huggins, J. H., Lloyd, A. L., & Esvelt, K. M. (2020, May 10). (Vol. 5). Vol. 5.

By: W. Bradshaw*, E. Alley, J. Huggins, A. Lloyd & K. Esvelt

TL;DR: It is shown that “bidirectional” tracing to identify infector individuals and their other infectees robustly improves outbreak control, reducing the effective reproduction number (Reff) by at least ∼0.3 while dramatically increasing resilience to low case ascertainment and test sensitivity.

Optimizing the deployment of ultra-low volume and targeted indoor residual spraying for dengue outbreak response

PLOS Computational Biology, 16(4), e1007743.

By: S. Cavany*, G. España*, A. Lloyd n, L. Waller*, U. Kitron*, H. Astete*, W. Elson*, G. Vazquez-Prokopec* ...

Ed(s): M. Pascual

MeSH headings : Aedes / physiology; Animals; Computational Biology / methods; Computer Simulation; Dengue / epidemiology; Dengue / prevention & control; Dengue / transmission; Disease Outbreaks; Humans; Incidence; Insecticides; Models, Theoretical; Mosquito Control / methods; Mosquito Vectors; Zika Virus Infection / epidemiology; Zika Virus Infection / prevention & control; Zika Virus Infection / transmission
TL;DR: Although spraying twice each year is likely to avert the most infections, the results indicate that a threshold-based strategy can become an alternative to better balance the translation of spraying effort into impact, particularly if used with a residual insecticide. (via Semantic Scholar)

Temporal and bidirectional influences of estradiol on voluntary wheel running in adult female and male rats

HORMONES AND BEHAVIOR, 120.

author keywords: Estradiol; Sex differences; Voluntary wheel running; Locomotion; Motivation
MeSH headings : Animals; Behavior, Animal / drug effects; Estradiol / analogs & derivatives; Estradiol / pharmacology; Female; Male; Motivation / drug effects; Motor Activity / drug effects; Rats; Rats, Sprague-Dawley; Running / physiology; Sex Characteristics; Time Factors
TL;DR: Findings indicate that estradiol rapidly, non-rapidly, and bidirectionally modulates wheel running in a sex-responsive manner, and that rapid est radiol action is modulated by non-Rapid Estradiol action. (via Semantic Scholar)

Achieving CLARITY on bisphenol A, brain and behaviour

[Review of ]. JOURNAL OF NEUROENDOCRINOLOGY, 32(1).

By: H. Patisaul n

author keywords: amygdala; anxiety; EDC; endocrine disrupting chemical; hypothalamus; oxytocin
MeSH headings : Animals; Behavior, Animal / drug effects; Benzhydryl Compounds / toxicity; Brain / drug effects; Endocrine Disruptors / toxicity; Female; Humans; Male; Neurons / drug effects; Phenols / toxicity; Pregnancy; Sex Differentiation / drug effects; United States; United States Food and Drug Administration
TL;DR: Evidence of altered neuroendocrine development, including age‐ and sex‐specific expression of oestrogen receptor (ER)α and ERβ, and the abrogation of brain and behavioural sexual dimorphisms, supports the conclusion that developmental BPA exposure, even at doses below what regulatory agencies regard as “safe” for humans, contribute to brain and behaviour change.
