    Abstract The dynamics of viral loads among COVID-19 patients in Changzhou, China were evaluated using dynamic random effects models. The models were estimated by maximum likelihood methods allowing for between and within patient variations. Statistical criteria were developed for focusing on viral RNAs for clinical decision making. The empirical results showed that inflammation among patients were significant predictors of cycle threshold values for ORF1ab and N RNAs. Moreover, within subject variations were higher in Ct values of ORF1ab RNA indicating that assessment of N RNA may be adequate in resource-poor settings. The inter-relationships between ORF1ab and N RNAs were investigated and the need for developing comprehensive models for viral load dynamics is emphasized.

    Abstract This article emphasizes the need for broader approaches for formulating policies for mitigating the effects of climate change especially in the contexts of agricultural decisions, and population health and migration. Constraints imposed by rapid population growth in developing countries for achievement of Sustainable Development Goals are discussed and evidence is presented on "unwanted" fertility from India. Second, comparisons are made for India during 2002-2016 for average well depths in 495 districts and terrestrial water storage anomalies assessed via GRACE satellites for 274 1° × 1° grids using estimated parameters from dynamic random effects models. Lastly, migration patterns especially of the highly educated from 39 sending countries to OECD countries during 2000-2010 are analyzed using dynamic random effects models and total fertility rates were significantly associated with higher migration rates for the highly educated. Implications of the empirical evidence for enhancing global sustainability are discussed.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Approximately 65% of adults over 60 years in the USA are hypertensive. Poor dietary habits and sedentary lifestyles are fueling the hypertension epidemic. The effects of higher intakes of fruits and vegetables and whole-grain products on systolic and diastolic blood pressures were analyzed using data at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months on 349 and 573 subjects, respectively, in the control and intervention groups of the Women's Health Trial: Feasibility Study in Minority Populations.
    Recent findings: Models for systolic and diastolic blood pressures have been estimated using cross-sectional and longitudinal data in different settings. However, it is important to estimate comprehensive dynamic random effects models that take into account inter-relationships between systolic and diastolic blood pressures as well as the effects of dietary intakes and biomarkers for making robust inferences. There were significantly greater reductions (P < 0.05) between baseline and 12 months in systolic and diastolic blood pressures in the intervention group. Second, ratios of α-tocopherol to energy intakes were negatively and significantly associated with systolic and diastolic blood pressures in the intervention group. Third, the lipid accumulation product was positively associated with systolic and diastolic blood pressures in the control and intervention groups. The estimated coefficients of diastolic and systolic blood pressure variables in the respective models for systolic and diastolic blood pressures showed that combining the two measures as pulse pressure can lead to misleading inferences. Overall, dietary interventions promoting higher consumption of fruits and vegetables and whole-grain products can help lower blood pressures of women in the USA.
