Lyapunov functions for tuberculosis models with fast and slow progression by C. Connell Mccluskey

“…For each model, Lyapunovfunctions are used to show that when the basic reproduction numberis less than or equal to one, the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptoticallystable, and when it is greater than one there is an endemic equilibriumwhich is globally asymptotically stable.…”

Mathematical Analysis of Diarrhea Model with Saturated Incidence Rate. by Musinguzi, Jason

“…The mathematical analysis shows that the disease free and the endemic equilibrium points of the model exist. The disease-free equilibrium is locally and globally asymptotically stable when RO< I and unstable otherwise RO> I.…”

A Canadian Perspective on Systemic Therapy for Recurrent or Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma by Anna Spreafico, Eric Winquist, Cheryl Ho, Brian O’Sullivan, Nathaniel Bouganim, Neil Chua, Sarah Doucette, Lillian L. Siu, Desiree Hao

“…Management of patients with recurrent or metastatic (r/m) NPC who are not candidates for local salvage therapy is challenging in Canada, as there is uncertainty in extrapolating evidence that is largely generated from Southeast China to non-endemic regions such as Canada. Currently, treatment options in Canada are limited to chemotherapy regimens that can only achieve short-term response and prolongation of survival. …”

Continuous and pulsed epidemiological models for onchocerciasis with implications for eradication strategy by Glenn Ledder, Donna Sylvester, Rachelle R. Bouchat, Johann A. Thiel

“…Onchocerciasis is an endemic disease in parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Complex mathematical models are being used to assess the likely efficacy of efforts to eradicate the disease; however, their predictions have not always been borne out in practice. …”

Post‐Artesunate Delayed Hemolysis: Anything That Can Go Wrong Will Go Wrong—Murphy's Law by Beliza Chemutai, Muhammed Omar Ali, Jaimin Vinod Varsani, Derrick Bary Abila, Denis Can Odonga, Paska Apiyo, Felix Bongomin

“…ABSTRACT In patients presenting with post‐malarial anemia following intravenous artesunate treatment, post‐artesunate delayed hemolysis should be considered in the differential diagnosis, even in endemic settings. Close monitoring for signs of delayed hemolysis in patients previously treated with intravenous artesunate for severe malaria, regardless of their malaria exposure history or geographic location is crucial.…”

Stationary Patterns of a Cross-Diffusion Epidemic Model by Yongli Cai, Dongxuan Chi, Wenbin Liu, Weiming Wang

“…We first give the conditions of the local and global stability of the nonnegative constant steady states, which indicates that the basic reproduction number determines whether there is an endemic outbreak or not. Furthermore, we prove the existence and nonexistence of the positive nonconstant steady states, which guarantees the existence of the stationary patterns.…”
