Optimal Disease Eradication [PDF]
Using a dynamic model of the control of an infectious disease, we derive the conditions under which eradication will be optimal. When eradication is feasible, the optimal program requires either a low vaccination rate or eradication.

Eradicate first, or treat peptic ulcer disease?
SAGE Open Medicine, 2023 Background: Helicobacter pylori infection is very common worldwide, and about 10%–16% of these patients develop peptic ulcer disease. However, there is limited research on the impact of H. pylori eradication and peptic ulcer disease treatment sequencing.

The Philosophy of Disease Eradication
American Journal of Public Health and the Nations Health, 1963 WE SHALL discuss certain generalizations regarding principles and practices which rationalize efforts to eradicate communicable diseases, vis-avis those aimed at their control. While the unqualified word "eradication" may be understood to signify the world-wide extermination of a biologic species, e.g., of an agent or a vector or a reservoir of human ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In this study, we produced HfN‐based nanoparticles via femtosecond laser ablation in acetone. The nanoparticles exhibit a red‐shifted plasmonic resonance in the NIR‐I window, colloidal stability after coating with polyethyleneglycol, and excellent biocompatibility. The photothermal and X‐ray sensitization therapeutic effects were demonstrated for tumor
