Treatments of Chlamydia Trachomatis and Neisseria Gonorrhoeae

چکیده
Chlamydia Trachomatis and Neisseria Gonorrhoeae rank as the two most commonly reported sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the United States. Under limited budget, publicly funded clinics are not able to screen and treat the two diseases for all patients. They have to make a decision as to which group of population shall go through the procedure for screening and treating the two diseases. Therefore, we propose a cubic integer programming model on maximizing the number of cured diseases. At the same time, a two-step algorithm is established to solve the cubic integer program. We further develop a web-server, which immediately make recommendation on identifying population groups, screening assays and treatment regimens. Running on the empirical data provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, our program gives more accurate optimal results comparing to MS Excel solver within a very short time. INDEX WORDS: Sexually Transmitted Disease, Optimization, Cubic Integer Programming, Knapsack Problem, Screening TREATMENTS OF CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS AND NEISSERIA GONORRHOEAE

An Optimal Solution on Screening and Treatment of Chlamydia Trachomatis and Neisseria Gonorrhoeae
We propose a resource allocation model for the management of the fund for the screening and treatment of women infected by Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae . The goal is to maximize the number of infected women cured of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections. The population going for screening is divided into groups by ages and races. The group number is dynam...

متن کاملUse of flocked swabs and a universal transport medium to enhance molecular detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
The use of new flocked swabs, compared to kit swabs, enhanced the ability of three commercial nucleic acid amplification tests to detect low levels of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae nucleic acids when the organisms were diluted in a universal transport medium as mocked specimens.
