Mathematical Model Can Now Help Predict Asthma Risk
A measure of how fast a person can exhale can now be used to predict the possibility of an asthma attack before a month using a mathematical tool. //It is believed that this finding would help alleviate the suffering of asthma patients and lead to the development of better treatment strategies. An internationally accepted system called the chaos model (currently applied to complex sys...Mathematical approach to asthma
According to study a mathematical model has been devised that can predict the potential attack of asthma.// The positive aspect of the model is that it would help to asthmatics control their symptoms more effectively and improve the testing of new drugs. The prediction over the likelihood of an asthma attack occurring over the next month was made by looking at peak flow readin...Mathematical Model Predicts Cholera Outbreaks
A mathematical model of disease cycles developed at the University of Michigan shows promise for predicting cholera outbreaks.// Speaking in a symposium titled "New Vistas in the Mathematics of Ecology and Evolution" at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in San Francisco, theoretical ecologist Mercedes Pascual will discuss how models that she...
