As of 2010 sub-Saharan Africa had approximately 865 million inhabitants living with numerous public health challenges. Several public health initiatives [e.g., the United States (US) Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief and the US Presidents Malaria Initiative] have been very successful at reducing mortality from priority diseases. A competently trained public health workforce that can operate multi-disease surveillance and response systems is necessary to build upon and sustain these successes and to address other public health problems. Sub-Saharan Africa appears to have weathered the recent global economic downturn remarkably well and its increasing middle class may soon demand stronger public health systems to protect communities. The Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) program of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been the backbone of public health surveillance and response in the US during its 60 years of existence. EIS has been adapted internationally to ...

EIS has a 65+ year history of success in training disease detectives. EIS officers step up at a moments notice to investigate public health threats in the United States and around the world. Worn out shoe leather with a prominent hole worn through has been a recurring visual theme of EIS through the decades, a reference to the practice of EIS officers personally investigating disease outbreaks at the local population level, in all parts of the world.. Each year, EIS officers conduct approximately 80 short-term epidemiologic assistance investigations, or Epidemiologic Assistance (Epi-Aids), worldwide. From the threat of bioterrorism during the Korean War era in the early 1950s to the Ebola outbreak in 2014, EIS officers have been called upon to help CDC protect people and save lives.. ...

TUESDAY, Nov. 26, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- Over the past year, nearly 2,300 Americans have been sickened -- and 47 have died -- from a mysterious and severe lung illness tied to vaping.. Now, a study of lung illnesses in Minnesota supports the notion that a compound known as vitamin E acetate, present in many black market vape products, could be to blame.. The study found that while vitamin E acetate was not found in most illicit vape products tested in Minnesota in 2018, a year later -- coinciding with the recent illness outbreak -- nearly all such samples contained the chemical.. This chemical analysis of these before-and-after samples support a potential role for vitamin E acetate in the [illness] outbreak, according to a team led by Joanne Taylor, of the Epidemic Intelligence Service at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.. The illnesses that are affecting vapers can be sudden and severe. Symptoms include cough, shortness of breath and chest pains. Some patients have had ...

Environmental epidemiology is the study of effects of the physical and chemical environment on the frequency and distribution of diseases and injuries in the population. Environmental epidemiologists study health effects in populations resulting from exposure to physical, chemical and biological agents. This can include the contribution of social, economic, cultural and global factors (e.g., urbanization, transportation, agriculture, manufacturing, energy production, global warming) that are related to these exposures. Recognition of health hazards posed by large-scale industrialization, environmental changes, and ecological disruption, often via indirect pathways, has added an extra dimension to this field. Related disciplines are occupational, social (social environment, lifestyles) and infectious disease epidemiology (exposure to microbial agents). Interest in environmental epidemiology has increased in the last decade, since gene environment interactions seem to explain a large proportion of ...

In the mid- and late-1800s, epidemiological methods began to be applied in the investigation of disease occurrence. At that time, most investigators focused on acute infectious diseases. In the 1930s and 1940s, epidemiologists extended their methods to noninfectious diseases. The period since World War II has seen an explosion in the development of research methods and the theoretical underpinnings of epidemiology. Epidemiology has been applied to the entire range of health-related outcomes, behaviors, and even knowledge and attitudes. The studies by Doll and Hill linking lung cancer to smoking (6) and the study of cardiovascular disease among residents of Framingham, Massachusetts (7) are two examples of how pioneering researchers have applied epidemiologic methods to chronic disease since World War II. During the 1960s and early 1970s health workers applied epidemiologic methods to eradicate naturally occurring smallpox worldwide.(8) This was an achievement in applied epidemiology of ...

BERLIN - With mystery enveloping a German intelligence service employee accused of spying - reportedly for the United States - German officials and commentators on Sunday angrily demanded a response from Washington, warning that an already troubled relationship was at risk of deteriorating to a new low.. The demands for a statement from the United States were nevertheless couched in cautious terms, suggesting that the scandal, which exploded Friday when Germanys federal prosecutor reported the arrest of the 31-year-old employee of the Federal Intelligence Service, might not be as bad as initially feared. The chairman of a parliamentary inquiry into U.S. intelligence activities told German radio that it seemed there was no breach of security surrounding his committees work, as some news reports had suggested.. Still, the anger was palpable. President Joachim Gauck, whose role is largely ceremonial but who increasingly speaks out on daily matters, told German television that if it turned out ...

Social epidemiology is the study of how the social world influences -- and in many cases defines -- the fundamental determinants of health. This link was substantiated in the first edition of Social Epidemiology, and the generation of research that followed has fundamentally changed the way we understand epidemiology and public health.

We examined outbreak investigations conducted around the world from 1988 to 1999 by the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions Epidemic Intelligence Service. In 44 (4.0%) of 1,099 investigations, identified causative agents had bioterrorism potential. In six investigations, intentional use of infectious agents was considered. Healthcare providers reported 270 (24.6%) outbreaks and infection control practitioners reported 129 (11.7%); together they reported 399 (36.3%) of the outbreaks. Health departments reported 335 (30.5%) outbreaks. For six outbreaks in which bioterrorism or intentional contamination was possible, reporting was delayed for up to 26 days. We confirmed that the most critical component for bioterrorism outbreak detection and reporting is the frontline healthcare profession and the local health departments. Bioterrorism preparedness should emphasize education and support of this frontline as well as methods to shorten the time between outbreak and reporting.

Social epidemiology is a subdiscipline of epidemiology that focuses on social factors as determinants of a broad range of health and disease manifestations. Studies in this field of research have documented and, increasingly, seek to understand, how social stratification is associated with unequal health outcomes. Levels of analysis range from the ecological or population-level associations to individual-level assessments of the embodiment of social position as health outcomes. The primary axes of stratification that have been studied in this context include notably gender, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic class and position. The conceptual roots of this area of research draw heavily from the more general epidemiological concepts of the population health perspective and of generalized susceptibility (see Seminal Writings for the Development of the Field). There are obvious areas of convergence of this field with other sociological subdisciplines, notably medical sociology, social demography, ...

Dr. Rachel Herlihy, the state epidemiologist, said health leaders estimate that about 1 out of every 300 Coloradans is actively infectious with the virus - meaning that when thousands of people gather, theres the potential for at least several people to be viral spreaders.. Because of the lag created by the virus incubation period, Herlihy said it will be about two weeks before epidemiologists can say whether the protests in recent days did, in fact, spread COVID-19 more widely.. Experts believe that outdoor transmission of the virus is harder than indoor transmission. So, that distinguishes outdoor demonstrations from a large, indoor rally, for instance. But Herlihy said the nature of protests - people who are often strangers to one another coming from widely different areas to gather in a single place - presents other challenges.. When trying to chase infections, Herlihy said epidemiologists conducting contact-tracing rely on interviews with infected people to identify where and to whom ...

The Epidemiology degree programs are intended for those who wish to investigate the causes of disease occurrence in populations, including characteristics of individuals and their physical and social environment. To investigate these complex relationships, epidemiologists conduct both experimental and observational studies in the community. Their findings are available to policy makers for guidance in actions to improve public health. The graduate programs in Epidemiology are designed to develop skills and capability in the practice and teaching of this discipline. Students are able to learn and participate in epidemiology first hand from faculty members (most are employees of the New York State Department of Health [NYSDOH] with University at Albany appointments) who are actively engaged in the practicing epidemiology and addressing the public health problems and priorities of New York State ...

Hand, Edward (31 December 1744-03 September 1802), medical doctor and revolutionary war soldier, was born in Clyduff, Kings County, Province of Leinster, Ireland, the son of John Hand, occupation unknown, and Dorothy (maiden name unknown). In the 1760s he enrolled in Trinity College, Dublin, and completed medical studies in 1766 with a good academic record. Thereupon he entered the British army as a surgeons mate and came to Philadelphia in 1767 with the Eighteenth Royal Irish Regiment of Foot. He was ordered to Fort Pitt in western Pennsylvania, and in 1772 he purchased an ensigns commission with profits earned from land speculation. Two years later he sold his ensigncy, resigned from the army, and settled in Lancaster, Pennsylvania to practice medicine and surgery. In 1775 he married Catharine Ewing, with whom he had eight children over the next seventeen years. At the outbreak of the revolutionary war, Hand, an ardent Whig, joined his neighbors in resisting Britain. Offered a commission as ...

The suicide bomber who tried to assassinate Afghanistans powerful new intelligence chief came from Pakistan and the attack was organized with the help of a sophisticated foreign intelligence service, President Hamid Karzai said Saturday. Karzai said he would ask for clarification from Pakistans president, when the two men meet later this month, on whether Pakistans intelligence service was involved in any way. Karzai admitted that a security screening had failed, but the governments statement that the bomb was concealed around the attackers groin suggests why it was not detected:

Between 2007 and 2013 there were on average approximately 130 cases per year of gonorrhea reported in New Hampshire. The New Hampsphire Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Public Health Services (DPHS) has received 465 reports of cases of gonorrhea contracted in 2016, which represents a more than 250% increase over the previous baseline.. This has prompted health officials to recommend that everyone who is sexually active should talk with their healthcare provider about being tested for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), such as gonorrhea and chlamydia, and anybody who may have been exposed to gonorrhea through a sex partner should seek care immediately for testing and treatment.. New Hampshire historically has had one of the lowest rates of gonorrhea infections in the country; however, over the last year we have seen a significant increase in the number of reported cases, said State Epidemiologist Dr. Benjamin Chan. We are actively working to identify individuals who may ...

A whooping cough epidemic is affecting Vermont, according to the Vermont Department of Health, which is calling on all adults 19 and older to get vaccinated.. As of last week, 522 cases of pertussis (as whooping cough is also known) had been reported statewide, Commissioner Harry Chen told a news conference Thursday. Thats more than 10 times the usual number for this time of year. More cases are being reported daily, state epidemiologist Patsy Kelso said.. About 90 percent of Vermont children have been vaccinated, Kelso said, but the immunization rate for adults is much lower, probably in the neighborhood of 10 percent. And adults are believed to be primarily responsible for spreading the disease, largely via coughing and sneezing.. Free clinics to administer the vaccine to adults will be open at regional health department offices Wednesday, Chen said. The adult booster, called Tdap, has only been available in Vermont since 2006, so most people probably have not received it. Tdap also immunizes ...

Orthostatic hypotension is common in the elderly and is often associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Compression bandages are recommended as a first-line treatment but there is little evidence of their efficacy in literature. A case-control study involving 52 patients was carried out to test the efficacy of the bandages. In the group with orthostatic hypotension, compression improved the symptoms without correcting the blood pressure readings.. ...

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Four Alaskans have died this year in an outbreak of invasive strep bacteria that has mostly affected the homeless and Alaska Natives in the states two largest cities, the states epidemiologist said Tuesday.There have been 28 confirmed hospitalization cases of a new strain of Group A Streptococcus bacteria, starting with 10 cases in Fairbanks earlier this year and, more recently, 18 cases in Anchorage, Joe McLaughlin said.Among the total, 15 involved homeless people in Anchorage and two homeless people in Fairbanks.Two of the deaths occurred in Fairbanks and two in Anchorage. Another three probable cases in Anchorage have not been confirmed.All four of the deaths were of Alaska Natives. McLaughlin said studies have shown that American Indians and Alaska Natives are at increased risk of invasive disease.

Now, the presence of even one mosquito is reason to give serious pause, thanks to the largest West Nile virus (WNV) outbreak ever seen in the United States. As of the end of August, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) had recorded nearly 1,600 cases and 66 deaths with at least one person infected in 43 states.. The best prevention, experts will tell you, is avoidance. But thats not really an option for those who enjoy the outdoors, especially hunters, who often find themselves in the worst habitat - dense vegetation, near water. Combine that with the fact that both game and biting insects are most active at the same time - dawn and dusk - and the risk factor goes up.. That doesnt mean you have to give up early-season hunting. Quoted in the Portland Press Herald last month, Maine state epidemiologist Dr. Stephen Sears said, Most people will never be bitten by an infected mosquito and most who are will never feel sick. West Nile virus often causes no perceptible symptoms.. Nearly half the ...

BACKGROUND: In the field of nutritional epidemiology, principal component analysis (PCA) has been used to derive patterns, but the robustness of interpretation might be an issue when the sample size is small. The authors proposed the alternative use of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to define such patterns. OBJECTIVE: The aim was to compare dietary patterns derived through PCA and CFA used as equivalent approaches in terms of stability and relevance. DESIGN: PCA and CFA were performed in 2 different studies: the Epidemiological Study on the Genetics and Environment of Asthma 2-France (EGEA2-France; n = 1236) and the Phenotype and Course of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease study-Spain (n = 274). To check for stability, PCA and CFA were also performed in 2 subsamples from the EGEA2 study (n = 618 and 309). Statistical proprieties were evaluated by 1000 bootstrapped random sets of observations for each of the 4 subsamples. For each random set of observations, the distribution of the factor loading
