This article discusses the theory of constraint interval solutions to interval nonlinear initial value problems and applies the notion of constraint interval solutions to analyze the asymptotic behavior of a susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) epidemiological nonlinear differential equation model, specifically the covid pandemic, in the presence of interval uncertainty to illustrate the efficacy of this approach. Furthermore, constraint interval solutions are used to estimate the intervals for the parameters by fitting solutions to the Brazilian's Sars-Cov-2 pandemic official data. Simulations and graphical solutions incorporating constraint interval uncertainties are presented to help in the visualization of the pandemic's behavior.

Using an Oral Sugar Test to Biologically Validate the Use of a Commercial Enzyme Immunoassay to Measure Salivary Insulin in Western Lowland Gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla).

Noninvasive evaluations of hormones can contribute to the assessment of health and welfare of animals. Variations in insulin levels and sensitivity, for example, have been linked to health concerns in non-human and human primates including insulin resistance, diabetes, and heart disease, the leading cause of death in zoo-housed gorillas. Few published studies have assessed insulin concentrations in western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla), and all did so using serum.

Med Phys
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
Background: The spatial resolution of new, photon counting detector (PCD) CT scanners is limited by the size of the focal spot. Smaller, brighter focal spots would melt the tungsten focal track of a conventional X-ray source.
Purpose: To propose focal spot multiplexing (FSM), an architecture to improve the power of small focal spots and thereby enable higher resolution clinical PCD CT.
Retrospective Study of Chronic Coughing in Dogs in a Referral Centre in the UK: 329 Cases (2012-2021).

Chronic coughing is a common complaint in small animal medicine and it has an extensive differential diagnosis with very different treatment and prognosis. Coughing is considered chronic when it lasts at least 8 weeks. This retrospective study aimed to describe the most common causes of chronic coughing in a population of dogs that presented to a referral hospital in England between January 2012 and December 2021.

Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys
January 2025
Department of Radiation Oncology, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV, USA.
Purpose: A single phase III trial has demonstrated that prostate radiotherapy with a focal, intra-prostatic "microboost" can improve disease control without an overall increase in toxicity. It is unclear how these results generalize to other treatment schedules and protocols.
Methods: A systematic search of PubMed and the Cochrane Review was performed for studies published on or before September 1, 2023.
Mpox vaccination hesitancy, previous immunisation coverage, and vaccination readiness in the African region: a multinational survey.
EClinicalMedicine
February 2025
Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Public Health, Peking University, No.38, Xueyuan Road, Haidian District, Beijing 100191, China.
Background: Vaccination hesitancy poses a serious threat to mpox vaccination programs. Historically, vaccine uptake in the African region has been low, and this trend may impact future vaccination efforts. Our aim was to investigate the relationships between mpox vaccination hesitancy, immunisation coverage for other vaccines, and vaccination readiness among African adults.
