Immunity Debt for Seasonal Influenza After the COVID‐19 Pandemic and as a Result of Nonpharmaceutical Interventions: An Ecological Analysis and Cohort Study

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study provides support for the immunity debt hypothesis, revealing a 131.72% increase in influenza rates during winter and a 161.23% rise in summer, 1 year following the global easing of COVID‐19 restrictions. This study offers empirical evidence of immunity debt on a global level, highlighting the importance of incorporating this concept into the

Cost‐Effective Identification of Hepatocellular Carcinoma from Cirrhosis or Chronic Hepatitis Virus Infection Using Eight Methylated Plasma DNA Markers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with liver cirrhosis and/or hepatitis virus B/C infection improves survival. Through marker discovery, 8 methylated DNA markers are identified and a logistic regression model (COMET‐LR) is built in the training set, which achieved 90.0% sensitivity at 97.4% specificity in the validation set.

Bayesian epidemiological modeling over high-resolution network data [PDF]

Epidemics 32 (2020), 2019
Mathematical epidemiological models have a broad use, including both qualitative and quantitative applications. With the increasing availability of data, large-scale quantitative disease spread models can nowadays be formulated. Such models have a great potential, e.g., in risk assessments in public health.
