Journal ArticleDOI
National assessment of Canadian pandemic preparedness: Employing InFluNet to identify high-risk areas for inter-wave vaccine distribution
TL;DR: Inter-wave vaccination provided adequate acute-care resource protection under all scenarios; ICU resource adequacy was protected under mild disease assumptions, but moderate and severe diseases caused demand to exceed expected availability in 21% and 49% of study areas, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adding Education to “Test and Treat”: Can We Overcome Drug Resistance?
TL;DR: It is shown that education, if it is properly harnessed, can be a force strong enough to overcome the effects of antiretroviral drug resistance; however, in the absence of education, “test and treat” is likely to make the epidemic worse.
Journal ArticleDOI
A three month study of the bronchodilator effects of aerosolized fenoterol and isoproterenol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of a non-smooth epidemic model with three thresholds
TL;DR: This work analyzes the dynamics of the proposed model for the limiting case, which induces two non-smooth but continuous models and suggests that the case number can be contained either at an a priori level or at a high/low level, depending on the threshold, which governs whether the enhanced vaccination and treatment policies are implemented.
Posted ContentDOI
Multiseason transmission for Rift Valley fever in North America
TL;DR: The values for the basic reproductive number show that, in order to eradicate the disease, the survival time of mosquitoes must decrease below 8.67 days, which is likely to establish itself as a recurring seasonal outbreak.
