Modelling Aids Epidemic and Treatment with Difference Equations
We propose two models for the description of the dynamics of an AIDS epidemic and of the effect of a combined-drugs AIDS treatment based on difference equations. We show that our interacting population model, despite its extreme simplicity, describes adequately the evolution of an AIDS epidemic. A cellular-automaton analogue of the discrete system of equations is presented as well. In the case ...
متن کاملAIDS Epidemic Modeling With Different Demographic Structures
The most urgent public health problem today is to devise effective strategies to minimize the destruction caused by the AIDS epidemic. Mathematical models based on the underlying transmission mechanisms of the AIDS virus can help the medical/scientific community understand and anticipate its spread in different populations and evaluate the potential effectiveness of different approaches for bri...
متن کاملModelling the spread of AIDS epidemic with vertical transmission
This paper considers a non-linear mathematical model for HIV epidemic that spreads in a variable size population through both horizontal and vertical transmission. The equilibrium points of the model system are found and their stability is investigated. The model exhibits two equilibria namely, the disease-free and the endemic equilibrium. It is found that if the basic reproduction number R0 < ...
متن کاملDifference Methods with Boundary and Interface Treatment for Wave Equations
Wave motion in acoustic and elastic media is highly influenced by the presence of outer boundaries and media interfaces. The solutions to the equations governing the wave motion at any point in the domain as a function of time can be sought either through analytical or numerical techniques. This thesis proposes provably stable finite difference schemes to accurately simulate wave interaction wi...
متن کاملIsoniazid Prevention Treatment in People With AIDS
این مقاله قصد دارد به ارائه دهندگان مراقبت بهداشتی در مورد استفاده از درمان پیشگیری کننده ایزونیازید در افراد مبتلا به عفونت ویروسی نقص ایمنی انسانی (HIV) کمک نماید. در حال حاضر اطلاعات کافی جهت توصیه اجرای درمان پیشگیری کننده سل، برای افراد مبتلا به هر دو عفونت در سری برنامه های جهانی وجود ندارد و باید منتظر اطلاعات دقیق تری بر تاثیر درمان پیشگیری کننده و بخصوص صرفه اقتصادی و راحتی مصرف آن بود...
