Modeling the impact of screening and treatment on typhoid fever dynamics in unprotected population

Results in Physics, 2023
Typhoid fever is a potentially fatal human infection that is caused by the Salmonella Typhi bacterium. The disease is usually spread through contaminated water or food. In this work, we formulate and analyze a mathematical model for transmission dynamics

Public health reforms and the mortality decline in nineteenth‐century Italy

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the impact of Italy's 1887–8 health reforms on mortality, contributing to the historical debate on the state's role in Europe's health transition. Leveraging event‐study‐style difference‐in‐differences approach, we assess the effectiveness of the Crispi–Pagliani reforms, which strengthened public health governance and ...

Evaluation of the Diagnostic Accuracy of the Quantitative Point‐of‐Care SD Biosensor Standard G6PD Test for Assessment of G6PD Deficiency in Infectious Diseases

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background G6PD deficiency affects about 500 million people worldwide and is prevalent in many malaria‐endemic settings. People with G6PD deficiency are at risk of hemolysis when exposed to certain medications, including 8‐aminoquinoline drugs used to treat Plasmodium vivax malaria.
