Understanding biases in epidemic models important when making public health predictions

Mathematical models have become invaluable decision-making tools for public health officials. As demonstrated during the United Kingdom's foot-and-mouth epidemic of 2001, models can be useful in two ways: they can reveal the underlying characteristics of an infection and they can allow the comparison of alternative control measures. Often, however, such models make implicit assumptions that may s...

Modification of program enables prediction of gene transcription

A modification to an "ace" gene prediction program by computer scientists at Washington University in St. Louis now enables scientists to predict the very beginnings of gene transcription start sites and where the first splice occurs thereby defining the first exon of the gene. The modification to the gene prediction software TWINSCAN is called N-SCAN. Michael Brent, Ph.D. professor of com...

Computers close in on protein structure prediction

Rosetta@home lets public participate in structure prediction. The findings, which were reported in the September 16, 2005, issue of the journal Science, provide a glimmer of hope th...

Sensor web simulation investigates technique to improve prediction of pollution across the globe

For asthmatics and for anyone with respiratory problems, air pollution can significantly impair simple everyday activities. NASA is trying to tie together satellites and stations on the ground to develop a "sensor web" to track this pollution and improve air quality forecasts. Understanding how tropospheric or near-surface-level ozone is produced, distributed and transported from city to c...

Improved predictions of warming-induced extinctions sought

In the March 2007 issue of BioScience, an international team of 19 researchers calls for better forecasting of the effects of global warming on extinction rates. The researchers, led by Daniel B. Botkin, note that although current mathematical models indicate that many species could be at risk from global warming, surprisingly few species became extinct during the past 2.5 million years, a period...

Risk of heart disease prediction needs updating

According to researchers at the Mayo Clinic, the present risk of prognosis methods in heart disease need to take account of more factors if they are to be useful in assessing a patient's future health.// When someone has a heart attack or is at risk of having one what they want to know most of all is what the future might hold. Doctors can use the prediction tools and use to counsel them. <br...

Prediction Of Disease In The Future Questioned

Analyzing the blood of healthy individuals may predict future autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Researchers analyzed // past studies and found autoantibodies (antibodies that attack the body's own tissue) are often apparent several years before an illness manifests. According to a recent study among people with rheumatoid arthritis , it was found that specific autoanti...

Blood Test May help Heart Prediction

According to scientists a new blood test may give more precise predictions of a person's risk of a fatal heart attack. A study published this week in a medical journal suggested the test, which measures levels of the protein part of cholesterol, may be a better predictor of heart trouble than traditional cholesterol tests and may one day lead to more tailored treatments.// High cholest...

A New Technique For Prediction Of Adult Height

A number of methods exist to predict how tall a child can be after maturity. However, these are invasive, expensive, or relatively imprecise. Previous methods have used //secondary sexual characteristics as a marker of maturity, but they lack precision, as well as being invasive. The current ‘gold standard’, utilizing skeletal age, requires radiological measurement of bone age to account for vari...

Prediction of malaria epidemics possible!

According to scientist a new computer model has been developed that can predict the occurrence of en epidemic of malaria. The intensity whether it would be mild or severe can be told five months before it occurs. // This would give ample time for preventive or emergency measures to be done in advance. The control of malaria is a top priority for international health officials these...

Mayo Clinic News Release: Mayo Clinic-led Study Improves Breast Cancer Risk Prediction in Women with Atypia

ROCHESTER, Minn., July 2, 2007-Women with at least three sites ofcellular atypia in breast tissue are nearly eight times more likelythan average women to develop breast cancer, according to findingsof a Mayo Clinic Cancer Center led study of women with atypicalhyperplasia. The findings are published in the July 1 issue of theJournal of Clinical Oncology. Several previous studies have show...
