Impact of disease severity, age, sex, comorbidity, and vaccination on secondary attack rates of SARS-CoV-2: a global systematic review and meta-analysis

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Understanding the key drivers of SARS-CoV-2 transmission is essential for shaping effective public health strategies. However, transmission risk is subject to substantial heterogeneity related to disease severity, age, sex, comorbidities, and ...

The Practice of Agent-Based Model Visualization [PDF]

Artificial Life, 2014
We discuss approaches to agent-based model visualization. Agent-based modeling has its own requirements for visualization, some shared with other forms of simulation software, and some unique to this approach. In particular, agent-based models are typified by complexity, dynamism, nonequilibrium and transient behavior, heterogeneity, and a researcher's

Effectiveness of Resistance Intradialytic Exercise Compared to Aerobic Intradialytic Exercise for Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.

Modeling the impact of changing sexual behaviors with opposite-sex partners and STI testing among women and men ages 15–44 on STI diagnosis rates in the United States 2012–2019

Infectious Disease Modelling, 2023
Objective: To estimate the potential contributions of reported changes in frequency of penile-vaginal sex (PVS), condom use and STI screening to changes in gonorrhea and chlamydial diagnoses from 2012 to 2019.

Private Agent-Based Modeling

International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems
The practical utility of agent-based models in decision-making relies on their capacity to accurately replicate populations while seamlessly integrating real-world data streams. Yet, the incorporation of such data poses significant challenges due to privacy concerns.

The Origin of Money: An Agent-Based Model [PDF]

Advances in Artificial Life, ECAL 2013, 2013
The benefits of money as a medium of exchange are obvious, but the historical origin of money is less clear. An existing economic model of monetary search is reproduced as an agentbased simulation and an evolutionary algorithm is used to model social learning.

Safety of Daprodustat for the Treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease Anemia: Final Analysis of a Multicenter Postmarketing Surveillance Study in Japan

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction This final analysis of a multicenter, prospective postmarketing surveillance study evaluated the safety of daprodustat in patients with chronic kidney disease anemia in routine clinical practice in Japan. Methods Patients who initiated daprodustat between September 2020 and July 2022 were registered.

Introduction of a framework for dynamic knowledge representation of the control structure of transplant immunology: employing the power of abstraction with a Solid Organ Transplant Agent-based Model (SOTABM)

Frontiers in Immunology, 2015
Agent-based modeling has been used to characterize the nested control loops and nonlinear dynamics associated with inflammatory and immune responses, particularly as a means of visualizing putative mechanistic hypotheses.

Forecasting the Dialysis Burden in Japan: Validation‐Based Projections of Prevalence and Incidence Through 2050

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a sustained post‐peak phase or whether recent declines partly reflect pandemic‐related disruptions remains uncertain.
