Classification of Healthy and Cancer States of Colon Epithelial Tissues Using Opto-magnetic Imaging Spectroscopy

Marko Baros, Ivan Dimitrijevic

Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) as a major health problem in industrialized countries is highly preventable and can be successfully treated in the early stages. However, incidence and mortality of CRC has increased over the last two decades. The reason could be ...

Targeting liver stage malaria with metformin

Leonardo Filipe Lemos Rocha

Despite an unprecedented 2 decades of success, the combat against malaria - the mosquito-transmitted disease caused by Plasmodium parasites - is no longer progressing. Efforts toward eradication are threatened by the lack of an effective vaccine and a rise ...

Genetics of human susceptibility to active and latent tuberculosis: present knowledge and future perspectives

Jacques Fellay, Nimisha Chaturvedi

Tuberculosis is an ancient human disease, estimated to have originated and evolved over thousands of years alongside modern human populations. Despite considerable advances in disease control, tuberculosis remains one of the world's deadliest communicable ...

Population-Level Intervention and Information Collection in Dynamic Healthcare Policy

Thomas Alois Weber

We develop a general framework for optimal health policy design in a dynamic setting. We consider a hypothetical medical intervention for a cohort of patients where one parameter varies across cohorts with imperfectly observable linear dynamics. We seek to ...

Heterogeneity in schistosomiasis transmission dynamics

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Francisco Javier Perez Saez, Marino Gatto

Simple models of disease propagation often disregard the effects of transmission heterogeneity on the ecological and epidemiological dynamics associated with host-parasite interactions. However, for some diseases like schistosomiasis, a widespread parasiti ...

Statistical physics of vaccination

Marcel Salathé, Zhen Wang

Historically, infectious diseases caused considerable damage to human societies, and they continue to do so today. To help reduce their impact, mathematical models of disease transmission have been studied to help understand disease dynamics and inform pre ...

Mobile phone data highlights the role of mass gatherings in the spreading of cholera outbreaks

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Flavio Finger

The spatiotemporal evolution of human mobility and the related fluctuations of population density are known to be key drivers of the dynamics of infectious disease outbreaks. These factors are particularly relevant in the case of mass gatherings, which may ...

Vector Control in Developing Countries: Challenges and Solutions

Michael Graetzel, Paul Joseph Dyson, Claire Samantha Allardyce

Undoubtedly, reducing vector populations or their interactions with hosts below a critical level is a practical and proven method of disease control. Introduction of insecticide-treated bed nets has significantly reduced malaria in some parts of the world. ...
