Mobile Health (mHealth) Viral Diagnostics Enabled with Adaptive Adversarial Learning.

ACS nano
Deep-learning (DL)-based image processing has potential to revolutionize the use of smartphones in mobile health (mHealth) diagnostics of infectious diseases. However, the high variability in cellphone image data acquisition and the common need for l...

How to Improve Compliance with Protective Health Measures during the COVID-19 Outbreak: Testing a Moderated Mediation Model and Machine Learning Algorithms.

International journal of environmental research and public health
In the wake of the sudden spread of COVID-19, a large amount of the Italian population practiced incongruous behaviors with the protective health measures. The present study aimed at examining psychological and psychosocial variables that could predi...

Exploring the growth of COVID-19 cases using exponential modelling across 42 countries and predicting signs of early containment using machine learning.

Transboundary and emerging diseases
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic spread by the single-stranded RNA severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) belongs to the seventh generation of the coronavirus family. Following an unusual replication mechanism, i...

India nudges to contain COVID-19 pandemic: A reactive public policy analysis using machine-learning based topic modelling.

PloS one
India locked down 1.3 billion people on March 25, 2020, in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic. The economic cost of it was estimated at USD 98 billion, while the social costs are still unknown. This study investigated how government formed reactive polici...

Decision tree machine learning applied to bovine tuberculosis risk factors to aid disease control decision making.

Preventive veterinary medicine
Identifying and understanding the risk factors for endemic bovine tuberculosis (TB) in cattle herds is critical for the control of this disease. Exploratory machine learning techniques can uncover complex non-linear relationships and interactions wit...

Artificial Intelligence for infectious disease Big Data Analytics.

Infection, disease & health
BACKGROUND: Since the beginning of the 21st century, the amount of data obtained from public health surveillance has increased dramatically due to the advancement of information and communications technology and the data collection systems now in pla...

The utility of LASSO-based models for real time forecasts of endemic infectious diseases: A cross country comparison.

Journal of biomedical informatics
INTRODUCTION: Accurate and timely prediction for endemic infectious diseases is vital for public health agencies to plan and carry out any control methods at an early stage of disease outbreaks. Climatic variables has been identified as important pre...

Framework for Infectious Disease Analysis: A comprehensive and integrative multi-modeling approach to disease prediction and management.

Health informatics journal
The impact of infectious disease on human populations is a function of many factors including environmental conditions, vector dynamics, transmission mechanics, social and cultural behaviors, and public policy. A comprehensive framework for disease m...

Hybrid methodology for tuberculosis incidence time-series forecasting based on ARIMA and a NAR neural network.

Epidemiology and infection
Tuberculosis (TB) affects people globally and is being reconsidered as a serious public health problem in China. Reliable forecasting is useful for the prevention and control of TB. This study proposes a hybrid model combining autoregressive integrat...

Field study analysis of the influences of deworming regimens and housing conditions on parasites and sperm output in 21 European boar studs.

Veterinary journal (London, England : 1997)
The current study reports the parasitological results of a quality control audit in 21 European boar studs. Field investigations were performed over a 2-year period (2012-2013) during the winter and spring. From each stud, an average of 30 (range, 25...
