The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease that caused a large number of deaths all over the world since its outbreak. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the outbreak a global pandemic. The understanding of the random process related to the behavior infection of COVID-19 is an important health and economic problem. In the proposed study, we analyze the frequency of daily confirmed cases of COVID-19 using different two-parameter lifetime probability distributions. We consider the data from the period of March 11, 2020, to July 25, 2020, of Pakistan. We consider nine lifetime probability distributions for the analysis purpose and the selection of best fit was carried out using log-likelihood, AIC, BIC, RMSE, and R goodness-of-fit measures. Results indicate that Weibull distribution provides generally the best-fit probability distribution.

Background And Objective: Approximately half of lung adenocarcinomas in East Asia harbor epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. EGFR testing followed by tissue-based next-generation sequencing (NGS), upfront tissue-based NGS, and complementary NGS approaches have emerged on the front line to guide personalized therapy. We study the cost effectiveness of exclusionary EGFR testing for Taiwanese patients newly diagnosed with advanced lung adenocarcinoma.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) has both genetic and environmental risk factors. Gene-environment interaction may help explain some missing heritability. There is strong evidence for cigarette smoking as a risk factor for AD.

Background: Cognitive Reserve(CR) a concept based on the brain plasticity, is a mechanism that delays or minimizes clinical manifestations of brain changes due to aging. Prospective epidemiologic studies non-demented individuals have shown that education, occupational duration and complexity, and greater lifetime engagement in cognitively stimulating activities are associated with a reduced risk of dementia. We study the cognitive reserve and its neuroimaging correlate.

Background And Aim: The analyses of longitudinal changes in remnant cholesterol (RC) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains are limited. The objective of the study was to investigate the associations of longitudinal changes in RC with the risks of CVD and its subtypes (myocardial infarction [MI] and stroke).
Methods And Results: The participants were enrolled in the Kailuan study.
