Modeling different strategies towards control of lung cancer: leveraging early detection and anti-cancer cell measures.

The global population has encountered significant challenges throughout history due to infectious diseases. To comprehensively study these dynamics, a novel deterministic mathematical model, TCD Z, is developed for the early detection and treatment of lung cancer. This model incorporates cytokine and anti-PD-L1 inhibitors, enhancing the immune system's anticancer response within five epidemiological compartments.

Dorsal intercostal artery flap; A reliable option for coverage of myelomeningocele defects: A case series.

Meningomyelocele is a common congenital condition and its reconstruction poses a challenge for surgeons. The dorsal intercostal artery (DICA) flap offers a one-stage tension-free closure with adequate results. This study, spanning from January 2019 to September 2022, analyses the outcome of nine DICA flaps for meningomyelocele reconstruction, where the average size of the DICA flap was 6.

The impact of environmental regulation and economic expectations on crop-livestock integration among hog farmers: a field study from China.

Decoupling of crop-livestock systems increases the risks of pollution, waste of nutrient resources, and biodiversity loss. Crop-livestock integration (CLI) is an effective solution to these problems, and motivating farmers to adopt CLI is the key. Many countries have implemented environmental regulations (ER) aiming to influence farmers' CLI adoption decisions.

Potential candidacy for thrombolysis among ischemic stroke patients presenting to Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar.

Objectives: To determine the number of ischemic stroke patients presenting to a tertiary care hospital that are potential candidates for thrombolysis.

Methods: This need analysis study was conducted on one hundred consecutive ischemic stroke patients during the last quarter of 2022 at the Department of Medicine, Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar. The Arrival National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIH Stroke Scale) was calculated for all suspected stroke patients after a detailed history and clinical examination.

COVID-19 Pandemic Data Modeling in Pakistan Using Time-Series SIR.

Pakistan is currently facing the fourth wave of the deadly coronavirus, which was first reported in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. This work utilizes the epidemiological models to analyze Pakistan's COVID-19 data. The basic susceptible, infected, and recovered (SIR) model is studied assuming Bayesian and time-series SIR (tSIR) approaches.
