Mathematical modeling plays a crucial role in understanding and combating infectious diseases, offering predictive insights into disease spread and the impact of vaccination strategies. This paper explored the significance of mathematical modeling in epidemic control efforts, focusing on the interplay between vaccination strategies, disease transmission rates, and population immunity. To facilitate meaningful comparisons of vaccination strategies, we maintained a consistent framework by fixing the vaccination capacity to vary from 10 to 100% of the total population.

Kazakhstan has been facing considerable challenges in TB prevention and treatment for decades. This study aims to understand TB transmission dynamics by developing and comparing statistical and deterministic models: Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) and the basic Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR).

Background: Treatment of patients with prolonged and permanent disturbance of consciousness is still an extremely difficult problem. Nowadays, management is based on pathophysiological and molecular mechanisms of impaired consciousness. Several electrophysiological and pharmacological methods were proposed to restore consciousness in appropriate patients.

Unlabelled: An urgent problem in modern neurosurgery is resection of brain tumors adjacent to corticospinal tract (CST) due to high risk of its damage and subsequent disability. The main methods for prevention of intraoperative damage to CST are preoperative MR tractography and intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring. Both methods are used in pediatric neurosurgery.
