Multi-type birth-death (MTBD) models are phylodynamic analogies of compartmental models in classical epidemiology. They serve to infer such epidemiological parameters as the average number of secondary infections Re and the infectious time from a
The chip-based digital polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is an indispensable technique for amplifying and quantifying nucleic acids, which has been widely employed in molecular diagnostics at both fundamental and clinical levels. However, the previous
CONCLUSION: Including a patient perspective in CEAs and explicitly considering affordability offers decision-makers additional insights either by confirming that the optimal strategy from the health sector perspective is also efficient and affordable

BACKGROUND: Monoclonal antibody (mAb) treatment for COVID-19 has been underutilized due to logistical challenges, lack of access and variable treatment awareness among patients and healthcare professionals. The use of telehealth during the pandemic
CONCLUSION: By virtue of its ability to modulate epithelial ACE2 expression and inhibit virus-mediated pro-inflammatory cytokine release, FXR represents a promising target for development of new approaches to prevent intestinal manifestations of SARS
We investigate fat tails and network interconnections of geopolitical risk index and food prices, including the price of corn, rice, and wheat, using seven Bayesian vector heterogeneous autoregression fashions. This paper differentiates dynamically
CONCLUSIONS: The analysis showed higher odds of social contact loss and worsened mental health from COVID-19 in NH White and higher education populations. By implementing strategies to address specific challenges faced by different racial groups
