Epidemic Influenza1

Personal Protective Equipment and Antiviral Drug Use during Hospitalization for Suspected Avian or Pandemic Influenza1

For pandemic influenza planning, realistic estimates of personal protective equipment (PPE) and antiviral medication required for hospital healthcare workers (HCWs) are vital. In this simulation study, a patient with suspected avian or pandemic influenza (API) sought treatment at 9 Australian hospital emergency departments where patient-staff interactions during the first 6 hours of hospitaliza...

Epidemic Percolation Networks, Epidemic Outcomes, and Interventions

Epidemic percolation networks (EPNs) are directed random networks that can be used to analyze stochastic "Susceptible-Infectious-Removed" (SIR) and "Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Removed" (SEIR) epidemic models, unifying and generalizing previous uses of networks and branching processes to analyze mass-action and network-based S(E)IR models. This paper explains the fundamental concepts underly...

Coping with stress of COVID_19 epidemic

Editorial در حال حاضر ویروس COVID_19 (بیماری کرونا) که در بعضی از مبتلایان منجر به سندرم زجر تنفسی شدید و حاد(ARDS- Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) شده و ممکن است منجر به مرگ برخی بیماران نیز گردد، پاندمیک (Pandemic) یا جهانگیر شده و در حال گسترش در همه کشورها است (1). عدم وجود هرگونه درمان یا پیشگیری قطعی و پیش­بینی برخی از اپیدمیولوژیست­ها در خصوص ابتلای حداقل 60­% جامعه به این بیما...

ENTROPY 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.
