Bayesian Prevalence Estimation from Pooled and Individual Data [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Pooled and individual disease testing are common methods for determining the population prevalences of diseases. Recently, researchers have used Monte Carlo Markov Chain methods to estimate population prevalence from the combined streams of these two types of testing data.

Millennium development goal 6 and HIV infection in Zambia : what can we learn from successive household surveys? [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Geographic location represents an ecological measure of HIV status and is a strong predictor of HIV prevalence. Given the complex nature of location effects, there is limited understanding of their impact on policies to reduce HIV prevalence.

On the prevalence of horseshoes [PDF]

Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, 1981
In this paper the symbolic dynamics of several differentiable systems are investigated. It is shown that many well-known dynamical systems, including Axiom A {\text {A}} systems, piecewise monotonic maps of the interval, the Lorenz attractor and Abraham-Smale examples, have inside them subsystems conjugate to subshifts of ...

From thread to yarn, and yarn to thread: a complex case of persistent left superior vena cava

Annales Academiae Medicae Silesiensis
Introduction: Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a rare venous anomaly, occurring in 0.3–0.5% of the general population and up to 4.3% of patients with heart defects. It forms from the junction of the left subclavian and internal jugular veins,

Prevalence study of yaws in the Democratic Republic of Congo using the lot quality assurance sampling method. [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: Until the 1970s the prevalence of non-venereal trepanomatosis, including yaws, was greatly reduced after worldwide mass treatment. In 2005, cases were again reported in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We carried out a survey to estimate

Vitamin-D Deficiency among Non-Diabetic and Type-2 Diabetic Individuals: A Comparative Study [PDF]

National Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2019
Introduction: Vitamin-D Deficiency (VDD) is widespread across the globe irrespective of age, gender, race, location or disease profile. Even in a sun drenched country like India it is highly prevalent and now recognised as a public health problem ...

Potentially Hazardous Drug-Drug Interactions Associated With Oral Antineoplastic Agents Prescribed in Chinese Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital Settings: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Background: Oral administration increases the risk of interactions, because most oral antineoplastic agents (OAAs) are taken on a daily basis. Interactions can increase exposure to antitumoral agents or cause treatment failure.

Automatically Evaluating Opinion Prevalence in Opinion Summarization [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
When faced with a large number of product reviews, it is not clear that a human can remember all of them and weight opinions representatively to write a good reference summary. We propose an automatic metric to test the prevalence of the opinions that a summary expresses, based on counting the number of reviews that are consistent with each statement ...

The prevalence of autism spectrum disorders in China: A comprehensive meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2018
There are conflicting prevalence estimates of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) in mainland China (China thereafter). This study is a comprehensive meta-analysis of the pooled prevalence of ASDs in the general population in China.

Adaptation of the generic PDE's results to the notion of prevalence [PDF]

Journal of Dynamics and Differential Equations 19 (2007) 967-983, 2008
Many generic results have been proved, especially concerning the qualitative behaviour of solutions of partial differential equations. Recently, a new notion of "almost always", the prevalence, has been developped for vectorial spaces. This notion is interesting since, for example, prevalence sets are equivalent to the full Lebesgue measure sets in ...
