Diseases of Development. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, May 2009, Pages: 128
“Diseases of development” are diseases associated
with industrial and social progress, whereby periods
of great human achievements paradoxically coincide
with negative manifestations in broad patterns of
health. In this book we investigate mathematical
models concerned with some of the better known
diseases of development. The first part of the book
is devoted to the study of poliomyelitis epidemics
in developed countries.In the second part of the
book, we consider a particular form of cancer,
bladder cancer, which is a widespread disease in the
developed word. The polio model is analysed in terms
of its bifurcation properties and in terms of its
nonequilibrium outbreak dynamics. We present the
first model for the treatment of bladder cancer via
immunotherapy with Bacillus Calmette-Gue´rin (BCG).
The purpose of this research is to develop a
mathematical model described the tumor-immune
interactions in the bladder as a result of BCG
therapy.
