Non-invasive modelling methodology for the diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease using Fuzzy Cognitive Maps [PDF]
Journal Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical
Engineering. 2020. p. 1-9, 2020 Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) and strokes produce immense health and economic burdens globally. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the most common type of cardiovascular disease. Coronary Angiography, which is an invasive treatment, is also the standard procedure for diagnosing CAD.

An Exact Relationship Between Invasion Probability and Endemic Prevalence for Markovian SIS Dynamics on Networks [PDF]
WPLoS ONE 8(7): e69028, 2013 Understanding models which represent the invasion of network-based systems by infectious agents can give important insights into many real-world situations, including the prevention and control of infectious diseases and computer viruses. Here we consider Markovian susceptible-infectious-susceptible (SIS) dynamics on finite strongly connected networks,

From the microbiome to the central nervous system, an update on the epidemiology and pathogenesis of bacterial meningitis in childhood [version 1; referees: 3 approved] [PDF]
, 2017 In the past century, advances in antibiotics and vaccination have dramatically altered the incidence and clinical outcomes of bacterial meningitis. We review the shifting epidemiology of meningitis in children, including after the implementation of ...

Hierarchical Classification of Pulmonary Lesions: A Large-Scale Radio-Pathomics Study [PDF]
, 2020 Diagnosis of pulmonary lesions from computed tomography (CT) is important but challenging for clinical decision making in lung cancer related diseases. Deep learning has achieved great success in computer aided diagnosis (CADx) area for lung cancer, whereas it suffers from label ambiguity due to the difficulty in the radiological diagnosis.

Population-based estimates of the effectiveness of pneumococcal vaccination in Australia
International Journal of Population Data Science, 2017 Objectives Australia’s Childhood Immunisation Register (ACIR) is one of only a handful of national immunisation registers world-wide. We have, for the first time, linked the ACIR to other health datasets to measure the real-world impact of Australia’s ...

Death or survival from invasive pneumococcal disease in Scotland: associations with serogroups and multilocus sequence types [PDF]
, 2011 We describe associations between death from invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and particular serogroups and sequence types (STs) determined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) using data from Scotland.
