An age-of-infection model with both symptomatic and asymptomatic infections [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We formulate a general age-of-infection epidemic model with two pathways: the symptomatic infections and the asymptomatic infections. We then calculate the basic reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_0$ and establish the final size relation. It is shown that the ratio of accumulated counts of symptomatic patients and asymptomatic patients is determined by ...

Clinical &Experimental Allergy, EarlyView.The cost of the Direct Oral Penicillin Challenge (DPC) itself is only a fraction of the full costs required to test for a penicillin allergy label by non‐allergists. The costs of DPC varied between hospitals using a nurse‐led, pharmacist‐led, or mixture of pharmacists and nurses.

On the Universality of Jordan Centers for Estimating Infection Sources in Tree Networks [PDF]
, 2014 Finding the infection sources in a network when we only know the network topology and infected nodes, but not the rates of infection, is a challenging combinatorial problem, and it is even more difficult in practice where the underlying infection spreading model is usually unknown a priori. In this paper, we are interested in finding a source estimator

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.Summary Shift work can cause circadian misalignment, which often results in sleeping problems and has been associated with immune dysfunction. To better understand the impact of shift work on a primary immune response to vaccination, we compared severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2)‐specific humoral and cellular immune responses ...
