Re‐Awakening Public Attention to the Silent Pandemic of Cancer Among Older Adults in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As global populations age, cancer is increasingly becoming a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among older adults, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). Despite accounting for the majority of new cancer cases and deaths, older individuals remain underrepresented in cancer research, clinical guidelines, and health ...

Effectiveness of rTMS on Working Memory and Inhibitory Impairments in Patients With Post‐Stroke Executive Deficits

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Considerable efforts have been dedicated to developing effective treatments for post‐stroke executive impairment (PSEI), among which repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has shown great potential. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of high‐frequency rTMS on working memory (WM) and response ...

Population-Based Propensity Score-Matched Analysis of Paxlovid and Molnupiravir Effectiveness in High-Risk COVID-19 Patients

International Journal of Infectious Diseases
Introduction: COVID-19 poses a severe threat to high-risk populations, such as the elderly and those with incomplete vaccination. Despite the availability of treatments like Paxlovid and Molnupiravir, their relative effectiveness in preventing severe ...

Transmission dynamics of the etiological agent of SARS in Hong Kong: impact of public health interventions.

, 2003
We present an analysis of the first 10 weeks of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic in Hong Kong. The epidemic to date has been characterized by two large clusters-initiated by two separate "super-spread" events (SSEs)-and by ongoing ...

The SIS epidemic model with Markovian switching [PDF]

, 2012
Population systems are often subject to environmental noise. Motivated by Takeuchi et al. (2006), we will discuss in this paper the effect of telegraph noise on the well-known SIS epidemic model.

FastSIR Algorithm: A Fast Algorithm for simulation of epidemic spread in large networks by using SIR compartment model

, 2012
The epidemic spreading on arbitrary complex networks is studied in SIR (Susceptible Infected Recovered) compartment model. We propose our implementation of a Naive SIR algorithm for epidemic simulation spreading on networks that uses data structures ...
