Ontology Based Information Extraction for Disease Intelligence [PDF]
Disease Intelligence (DI) is based on the acquisition and aggregation of fragmented knowledge of diseases at multiple sources all over the world to provide valuable information to doctors, researchers and information seeking community. Some diseases have their own characteristics changed rapidly at different places of the world and are reported on ...

Modern nosoareas of tick-borne encephalitis and tick-borne rickettsiosis in Siberia
Natural centers of tick-borne encephalitis and tick-borne rickettsiosis diseases are distinguished not only by stability and in- creasing level of epidemiological manifestation but also by ability to enlargement of areas.

Incidence and management of Lyme disease: a Scottish general practice retrospective study
Background: The true burden of Lyme disease in primary care in Scotland is unknown. Epidemiological data are currently based on laboratory-confirmed reports as there is no mandatory reporting of clinical cases.

Common human diseases prediction using machine learning based on survey data [PDF]
In this era, the moment has arrived to move away from disease as the primary emphasis of medical treatment. Although impressive, the multiple techniques that have been developed to detect the diseases. In this time, there are some types of diseases COVID-19, normal flue, migraine, lung disease, heart disease, kidney disease, diabetics, stomach disease,

Hard tick factors implicated in pathogen transmission. [PDF]
Ticks are the most common arthropod vector, after mosquitoes, and are capable of transmitting the greatest variety of pathogens. For both humans and animals, the worldwide emergence or re-emergence of tick-borne disease is becoming increasingly ...

Hiccups and Inappropriate ADH Secretion Syndrome as Presentations of Tick-Borne Disease
Tick-borne diseases (Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis) are becoming a major public health concern. Rapid and correct diagnosis is crucial for complicated cases but is often delayed because of low suspicion or unusual clinical presentation.

The role of mutation rate variation and genetic diversity in the architecture of human disease [PDF]
We have investigated the role that the mutation rate and the structure of genetic variation at a locus play in determining whether a gene is involved in disease. We predict that the mutation rate and its genetic diversity should be higher in genes associated with disease, unless all genes that could cause disease have already been identified ...
