Machine learning predicts early onset of fever from continuous physiological data of critically ill patients [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Fever can provide valuable information for diagnosis and prognosis of various diseases such as pneumonia, dengue, sepsis, etc., therefore, predicting fever early can help in the effectiveness of treatment options and expediting the treatment process. This study aims to develop novel algorithms that can accurately predict fever onset in critically ill ...

Mathematical Model and Optimal Control of the Transmission Dynamics of Avian Spirochaetosis (TICK Fever) [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Avian Spirochaetosis is an acute endemic tick-borne disease of birds, caused by Borrelia anserins, a species of Borrelia bacteria. In this paper, we present a compartmental Mathematical model of the disease for the bird population and Tick population. The model so constructed was analyzed using methods from dynamical systems theory.
