Variations in the management of acute illness in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia: An audit of three paediatric hospitals [PDF]
Objective: Episodes of acute adrenal insufficiency (AI)/adrenal crises (AC) are a serious consequence of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). This study aimed to assess morbidity from acute illness in CAH and identify factors associated with use of IV ...

Incorporating social contact data in spatio-temporal models for infectious disease spread [PDF]
Routine public health surveillance of notifiable infectious diseases gives rise to weekly counts of reported cases -- possibly stratified by region and/or age group. We investigate how an age-structured social contact matrix can be incorporated into a spatio-temporal endemic-epidemic model for infectious disease counts.

Human Sapovirus among Outpatients with Acute Gastroenteritis in Spain: A One-Year Study
Viral agents of human gastroenteritis affect people of all ages across the globe. As a mainly self-limiting disease, it is difficult to evaluate the real prevalence of etiological agents circulating in each region.

A Remark on the Rigidity of Delaunay Triangulated Plane [PDF]
In \cite{Wu22}, under the uniformly acute condition, Wu showed the rigidity of the geodesic triangulated plane under Luo's discrete conformality. In this article, by modifying Wu's proof, we improve this result by weakening the uniformly acute condition to the uniformly Delaunay condition.

Forecasting Based on Surveillance Data [PDF]
Forecasting the future course of epidemics has always been one of the main goals of epidemic modelling. This chapter reviews statistical methods to quantify the accuracy of epidemic forecasts. We distinguish point and probabilistic forecasts and describe different methods to evaluate and compare the predictive performance across models.

Two virus-like particles have been found to be associated with acute viral gastroenteritis. One, a 270-nm parvovirus-like particle (the Norwalk agent), was visualized and recognized by immune electron microscopy in an infectious stool filtrate derived from a community outbreak of nonbacterial gastroenteritis.
