Background: Puerto Rico, a United States (U.S.) territory with 99% of its inhabitants identifying as Hispanic/Latino, has one the most rapid aging populations in world. In this study, we quantified incidence and mortality cancer among 85+ year-old residents compared these rates Hispanic/Latino U.S. Methods: We accessed age-adjusted (2005-2021) from Cancer Statistics North American Association Centralized Registries datafiles. Cancers were restricted to males females age 85+. addition...
Leishmania infantum causes human Visceral Leishmaniasis and Leishmaniosis (CanL) in reservoir host, dogs. As infection progresses to disease both humans dogs there is a shift from controlling, Type 1, immunity regulatory, exhausted, T cell phenotype. In endemic areas, association between tickborne coinfections (TBC) diagnosis and/or clinical severity has been demonstrated. To identify immune factors correlating with progression, we prospectively evaluated cohort of L. infected 2019-2022. The...
ABSTRACT Background Despite well‐documented relationships between climate and malaria transmission, there is a lack of information on how precipitation temperature as climatic factors specifically impact burden among different age groups in high‐transmission areas Western Kenya. Current models often overlook the time‐lagged effects variables, such temperature, age‐group‐specific burden. Methods This study utilized monthly positivity data from three health centers, along with Kenya by...
Abstract While many Bayesian state‐space models for infectious disease processes focus on population infection dynamics (eg, compartmental models), in this work we examine the evolution of and complexities immune responses within host using these techniques. We present a joint model to better understand how system contributes control Leishmania infantum infections over course. use longitudinal molecular diagnostic clinical data cohort dogs describe progression rates evidence important...

Abstract Addressing health disparities has become an important concern in public health, underlying the need to comprehensively investigate and understand social determinants of foster equitable healthcare outcomes. This descriptive analysis examines temporal spatial patterns United States nursing homes from 2020 2023. Leveraging quarterly data obtained Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services, study provides overview key drivers including functional status, cognitive psychosocial factors,...

The host immune system plays a significant role in managing and clearing pathogen material during an infection, but this complex process presents numerous challenges from modeling perspective. There are many mathematical statistical models for these kinds of processes that take into account wide range events happen within the host. In work, we present Bayesian joint model longitudinal time-to-event data Leishmania infection considers interplay between key drivers disease process: load,...

Ensuring children receive vaccinations is essential for their health and community well-being, preventing serious diseases fostering overall immunity. Nevertheless, the impact of social determinants on vaccination access underscores urgent need targeted interventions to address disparities ensure equitable healthcare delivery all children. This study investigates several childhood in United States using data from National Immunization Surveys 2010-2022. As a simple approach, ordinal logistic...

Hepatitis, a leading global health challenge, contributes to over 1.3 million deaths annually, with hepatitis B and C accounting for the majority of these fatalities. Intensive care unit (ICU) management patients is particularly challenging due complex clinical resource demands. This study focuses on predicting Length Stay (LoS) discharge outcomes ICU-admitted using machine learning models. Despite advancements in ICU predictive analytics, limited research has specifically addressed...
