Trends and Day-of-the-Week Effects Decomposition in the Mean and Dispersion in the Number of Subjects Testing Positive for COVID-19 in the UK in 2020
COVID-19 pandemic is a global threat, where the rate of infection with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) increases exponentially, and the spread of the virus from person to person is very fast.
Fitting models for COVID-19 counts receive a great attention, and modelling the dispersion of COVID-19 counts
helps measuring the spread of the disease in a population and evaluating the intervention
Trend of HIV/AIDS Reported Cases in Morocco Between 1986 and 2019: A Time Series Analysis
Background: Morocco is a low endemic country of HIV/AIDS that achieved the goal of the second and third 90-90-90
targets in 2019 while still 78% of people living with HIV know their HIV status. The aim of this study was to analyze time
trends of HIV/AIDS reported cases during the last 33 years taking into consideration the implementation of voluntary
HIV counseling and testing (HCT) services in primary health care facilities.
Methodology: This was a time series of HIV/AIDS reported cases at national level between 1986 and 2019. Variable collected for each year were HIV/AIDS reported per 100000 H, age category, gender, origin, CD4 count and route of transmission. Trend of HIV/AIDS reported cases was assessed by Joinpoint Regression Analysis. Annual percentage changes
(APCs) were estimated to identify the years (joinpoint) when significant changes occurred in the trend. We therefore
examined trends in HIV/AIDS reported cases according to epidemiological variables.
Results: Cumulative HIV/AIDS reported cases during the study period was of 17 000. Joinpoint regression showed an
increase in HIV/AIDS reported cases between 1986 and 2019. The APC for the period 1986-2012 was of 13.4 (95% CI:
12.0 to 14.8, p <0.05) and the APC from 2012 to 019 was of 5.4 (95% CI: 2.5 to 8.5, p<0.05) with a significant break in the
same joinpoint year than HCT implementation in primary health care settings. In stratified analysis, HIV/AIDS reported
cases increased but not significantly after joinpoint. A significant decrease was noted in 2015 in urban areas (APC = -10.0,
95% CI: -17.0 to -2.3, p<0.05).
Conclusions: HIV/AIDS reported cases were increasing over 33 years, with a significant rise after 2012by 5% per year,
corresponding to HCT integration into primary health care setting. Furthermore, Morocco is may be on the right way to
eliminate HIV/AIDS in urban areas.
Suicidal Trends in Different Indian States: A Retrospective Study
Suicide is an act to intentionally end one’s life. District level suicide data were obtained from respective police stations
for the year 2019-2020. Hanging is reported to be the most common strategy primarily on the grounds that materials for
the hanging are easily available, followed by consumption of poison (primarily pesticide), drowning, burning, cut injury
to wrist, drug overdose, alcohol overdose and fall from building. Present research showed that as indicated by sex, males
are at high risk of committing suicide than that of females. The greatest number of suicide cases are reported for the age
group of 31-40 years and the least can be seen in the age group below 10 years.
Analysis of Rice Production and Consumption Trends in Nigeria
One of the overarching goals of Nigeria agriculture development programs and policies is increasing agricultural productivity for accelerated economic growth. Despite the various policies measures to increase crop production, domestic rice production has not been increased enough to meet the rising population of the country “Nigeria”.
Current Trends and Risks of Autism and Vaccine Delivery
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is regular heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder with symptoms like disability in social association, repetitive behavior interest and activities. Etiology of autism and different speculations of ASD were proposed keeping in mind the end goal to clarify the pathophysiology of ASD.

Globally 42 million adults and children are estimated to be living with HIV/AIDS of which 22 million of these cases are in Sub Sahara Africa. In Zimbabwe 1.6 million adults aged 15 years and above are living with HIV/ AIDS and in Masvingo Province HIV/AIDS is ranked 2nd on the top ten causes of OPD attendance.
Trends in Thyroid Malignancies in Accra Ghana: A Retrospective Histopathological Review in the Department of Pathology (1994-2013), Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital
Malignancies of the thyroid gland are common in certain parts of the world. In Ghana there are no available data on the trends and gender characteristics of thyroid malignancies (TMs). The aim of this retrospective study was to determine the trends and gender characteristics of TMs in the Department of Pathology.
