Incorporating Genetic Biomarkers into Predictive Models of Normal Tissue Toxicity.
There is considerable variation in the level of toxicity patients experience for a given dose of radiotherapy, which is associated with differences in underlying individual normal tissue radiosensitivity. A number of syndromes have a large effect on clinical radiosensitivity, but these are rare. Among non-syndromic patients, variation is less extreme, but equivalent to a ±20% variation in dose....
متن کاملAnalysis with Mathematical Models Provides Insights into Infectious Diseases
M uch of microbiological research on infectious agents is increasingly specialized and reductionist, viewing the host as a virtually static environment and thus sharply narrowing the context of the disease under study. We advocate an alternative quantitative approach that enables investigators to go beyond their reliance on conventional and somewhat simplified qualitative terms for describing e...

متن کاملNine challenges in incorporating the dynamics of behaviour in infectious diseases models.
Traditionally, the spread of infectious diseases in human populations has been modelled with static parameters. These parameters, however, can change when individuals change their behaviour. If these changes are themselves influenced by the disease dynamics, there is scope for mechanistic models of behaviour to improve our understanding of this interaction. Here, we present challenges in modell...
