The next decades will show a shift in the attention given to diseases of the dental hard tissues. Clinical evidence on how to prevent dental caries is now available. More emphasis should be given to optimising the rational use of schemes of prevention. Caries still shows epidemic patterns in many countries while in some developed countries a high prevalence of the disease is limited to a small ...

Pandemics have presented new challenges for public transport organisers and operators. New diseases (e.g., influenza H1N1, severe acute respiratory syndrome—SARS, as well as, more recently, SARS-CoV-2) increase the need protection measures to prevent epidemic outbreaks in infrastructure. The authors’ goal is present a set of actions area that are adjusted different levels development. goes back...

We consider continuous-time stochastic compartmental models which can be applied in veterinary epidemiology to model the within-herd dynamics of infectious diseases. We focus on an extension of Markovian epidemic models, allowing the infectious period of an individual to follow a Weibull distribution, resulting in more flexible modelling for many diseases. Following a Bayesian approach we show ...

In this work, a novel model to simulate epidemic spreading is introduced. It is based on the use of two-dimensional cellular automata, where each cell stand for a square portion of the environment. It is suppose that the distribution of the population is homogeneous, that is, all cells have the same population. The laboratory simulations obtained seem to be in agreement with the real behavior o...

As demographic aging continues in Japan, the number of very elderly individuals aged 75 years or older is increasing rapidly, as is the number of bedridden, elderly individuals, with ramifications extending to economic problems such as health care costs and insurance for long-term care. Consequently, there is a great importance to questions of how to prevent age-related loss of muscle (sarcopen...
