We propose an ultra-discretization for an SIR epidemic model with time delay. It is proven that the ultra-discrete model has a threshold property concerning global attractivity of equilibria as shown in differential and difference equation models. We also study an interesting convergence pattern of the solution, which is illustrated in a two-dimensional lattice.

Background: Employees at the Ihlenberg toxic waste landfill in northern Germany were found to have an increased risk of cancer and cancer-related deaths in previous analyses covering the time period from 1983 to 2008. The present study aimed to quantify cancer risk and all-cause mortality in the employee cohort in 2009 to 2021.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, cancers were identified by linkage with cancer registries, and employee deaths were obtained from population registries.

Introduction: Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a crucial gastrointestinal disease characterized by systemic inflammatory responses and persistent multiple organ failure. The role of bile acids (BAs) in diverse inflammatory diseases is increasingly recognized as crucial, but the underlying role of BA conjugation remains elusive.
Objectives: Our study aim to investigate the potential role of conjugated bile acids in SAP and reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying its regulatory effects.

Dental hygienists in China face unique occupational challenges, with their job satisfaction being pivotal to performance. This study investigates the interplay between job satisfaction and occupational stress, burnout, and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among this group. A cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 21 female dental hygienists from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital.
