Monitoring and prediction of an epidemic outbreak using syndromic observations.
The paper presents a method for syndromic surveillance of an epidemic outbreak due to an emerging disease, formulated in the context of stochastic nonlinear filtering. The dynamics of the epidemic is modeled using a stochastic compartmental epidemiological model with inhomogeneous mixing. The syndromic (typically non-medical) observations of the number of infected people (e.g. visits to pharmac...
متن کاملOngoing Dengue Epidemic — Angola, June 2013
On April 1, 2013, the Public Health Directorate of Angola announced that six cases of dengue had been reported to the Ministry of Health of Angola (MHA). As of May 31, a total of 517 suspected dengue cases had been reported and tested for dengue with a rapid diagnostic test (RDT).

متن کاملVitamin D deficiency during pregnancy: an ongoing epidemic.
In this issue of the Journal, van der Meer et al (1) report a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy in nonWestern women in the Netherlands. These investigators found in their study that 50% of women with darker pigment were vitamin D deficient, whereas only 8% of Western women were defined as deficient. Even at first glance, this is a truly remarkable statistic. However, the ...
متن کاملENTROPY FOR DTMC SIS EPIDEMIC MODEL
In this paper at rst, a history of mathematical models is given.Next, some basic information about random variables, stochastic processesand Markov chains is introduced. As follows, the entropy for a discrete timeMarkov process is mentioned. After that, the entropy for SIS stochastic modelsis computed, and it is proved that an epidemic will be disappeared after a longtime.
متن کاملNovel Synthetic Opioids: An Opioid Epidemic Within an Opioid Epidemic.
North America is currently facing an opioid epidemic. Opioid overdose deaths have increased 200% since 2000, and in 2014, 28,647 drug-poisoning deaths were attributed to some type of opioid. Multiple sources of opioids contribute to this growing problem and include prescription opioids (including natural and semisynthetic opioids, eg, oxycodone, hydrocodone), methadone, and other synthetic opio...
