Mathematical model technique for predicting vaccine efficacy: application for vaccine resarch

Yasri S, Yasri R. Mathematical model technique for predicting vaccine efficacy: application for vaccine resarch. Adv Trop Med Pub Health Int. 2022; 12: 3 - 4. ABSTRACT In this short letter, the authors describe the technique for modeling the expected vaccine efficacy after the boostering. This technique is simple and useful for further researching in clinical vaccinology in the current requirement of mass vaccination against pandemic. Key words: COVID-19, mathematical model, vaccine

Interleukin-18 gene polymorphism and susceptibility of condyloma acuminatum

Joob S, Guran M. Interleukin-18 gene polymorphism and susceptibility of condyloma acuminatum. Adv Trop Med Pub Health Int. 2019; 9: 42 - 43. ABSTRACT Endothelial nitric oxide synthase Glu 298 Asp (G894T) is a genetic variant that is widely mentioned for the relationship with the risk for coronary heart disease (CHD). This correspondence is a letter to editor discussion on the publication on this specific issue. The molecular change due to endothelial nitric oxide synthase Glu 298 Asp (G894T) can explain the relationship with the risk for CHD. Keywords: Interleukin-18, gene, polymorphism, susceptibility, condyloma acuminatum
