Economic evaluation of COVID-19 rapid antigen screening programs in the workplace

BMC Medicine, 2022
Background Diagnostic testing has been pivotal in detecting SARS-CoV-2 infections and reducing transmission through the isolation of positive cases. We quantified the value of implementing frequent, rapid antigen (RA) testing in the workplace to identify

Accelerated vaccine rollout is imperative to mitigate highly transmissible COVID-19 variants

EClinicalMedicine, 2021
Background: More contagious variants of SARS-CoV-2 have emerged around the world, sparking concerns about impending surge in cases and severe outcomes. Despite the development of effective vaccines, rollout has been slow.

COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths averted under an accelerated vaccination program in northeastern and southern regions of the USA

The Lancet Regional Health. Americas, 2022
Summary: Background: The fourth wave of COVID-19 pandemic peaked in the US at 160,000 daily cases, concentrated primarily in southern states. As the Delta variant has continued to spread, we evaluated the impact of accelerated vaccination on reducing ...

Modelling the impact of a high-uptake bivalent booster scenario on the COVID-19 burden and healthcare costs in New York CityResearch in context

The Lancet Regional Health. Americas, 2023
Summary: Background: Uptake of the COVID-19 bivalent booster vaccine (targeting the original SARS-CoV-2 strain and subvariants BA.4 and BA.5 of the Omicron variant) among eligible residents of New York City (NYC) has been modest and declining. Assessing

Lives saved and hospitalizations averted by COVID-19 vaccination in New York City: a modeling study

The Lancet Regional Health. Americas, 2022
Summary: Background: Following the start of COVID-19 vaccination in New York City (NYC), cases have declined over 10-fold from the outbreak peak in January 2020, despite the emergence of highly transmissible variants.

The impact of mask-wearing and shelter-in-place on COVID-19 outbreaks in the United States

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2020
Objectives: A hasty reopening has led to a resurgence of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the United States (US). We aimed to quantify the impact of several public health measures including non-medical mask-wearing, shelter-in-place, and ...

An Agent-Based Classification Model [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2007
The major function of this model is to access the UCI Wisconsin Breast Can- cer data-set[1] and classify the data items into two categories, which are normal and anomalous. This kind of classifi cation can be referred as anomaly detection, which discriminates anomalous behaviour from normal behaviour in computer systems.

Dynamics of HSV-2 infection with a therapeutic vaccine

Heliyon, 2020
Herpes-Simplex Virus type 2 (HSV-2) is a lifelong infection, which has infected over 400 million individuals aged 15-49 years, worldwide. While the disease can be treated with episodic and suppressive antiviral drugs to reduce the rate of recurrence (i.e.

Agent-Based Model Exploration [PDF]

, 2015
The previous chapters have allowed us to introduce the basics of agent-based model creation with NetLogo. This has resulted in a model such as the one used in our running example. Once the model has been built, the aim is to manipulate it in such a way that new knowledge about the modeled phenomenon can be created.
