Application of a Bayesian Spatiotemporal Surveillance Method to NYC Syndromic Data

2014

Incorporating prior knowledge (e.g., the spatial distribution of zip codes and background population effects) into a model using Bayesian methods could potentially improve outbreak detection. We adapted a previously described Bayesian model-based spatiotemporal surveillance technique to daily respiratory syndrome counts in NYC Emergency Department data in 2009, the year of the H1N1 influenza pandemic. Citywide, 56 alarms were produced across 15 zip codes, all during days of elevated respiratory visits. Future work includes evaluating our choice of baseline length, considering other alarm thresholds, and conducting a formal evaluation of the method across five syndromes in NYC.

Spain and the international scientific conferences on polio, 1940s-1960s

2010

The development of international health from a historical point of view has undergone major advances in recent times and constitutes a substantial part of the current agenda for historians of medicine. Within this framework, and focussing on a specific case study (international responses to poliomyelitis outbreaks in the 20th century), we explore the main actions and achievements of agencies such as the WHO and other private and international scientific organizations. Furthermore, this paper seeks to identify the Spanish presence and absence in these activities, their causes and consequences.

In the opinion o f the vast majority o f historians, school histoiy education is extremely important. They emphasize that it plays a key role not only from the point ofview ofshaping the knowledge ofyoung people about the past, but also in defining the historical awareness o f the whole society, because often what students learn at school determines their lifelong knowledge o f many historical issues. Unfortunately, the awareness o f these obvious statements does not go hand in hand with respect for the achierements o f history didactics. As a scientific discipline, history didactics undertakes as one o f its most important research areas the analysis o f school history textbooks which are …

A platform for teaching in Economics

2009

La constatacion de los importantes cambios en relacion a la docencia que implica el proceso de Bolonia y la soledad en la que tales transformaciones deben llevarse a cabo por parte del profesorado, impulso a un grupo de profesores de diversas universidades publicas espanolas a plantear la oportunidad/necesidad de que los docentes intercambiaran opiniones y experiencias en el ambito docente, al igual que se hace en el ambito de investigacion. Todo ello se realizon en seno de unas Jornadas de Docencia celebradas en Granada. Este articulo revisa los principales resultados de esta experiencia docente.

Classification, diagnosis, and approach to treatment for angioedema:consensus report from the Hereditary Angioedema International Working Group

2014

Angioedema is defined as localized and self-limiting edema of the subcutaneous and submucosal tissue, due to a temporary increase in vascular permeability caused by the release of vasoactive mediator(s). When angioedema recurs without significant wheals, the patient should be diagnosed to have angioedema as a distinct disease. In the absence of accepted classification, different types of angioedema are not uniquely identified. For this reason, the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology gave its patronage to a consensus conference aimed at classifying angioedema. Four types of acquired and three types of hereditary angioedema were identified as separate forms from the analysis o…

Management of giant cell arteritis: Recommendations of the French Study Group for Large Vessel Vasculitis (GEFA).

2016

Abstract Purpose Management of giant cell arteritis (GCA, Horton's disease) involves many uncertainties. This work was undertaken to establish French recommendations for GCA management. Methods Recommendations were developed by a multidisciplinary panel of 33 physicians, members of the French Study Group for Large Vessel Vasculitis (Groupe d’etude francais des arterites des gros vaisseaux [GEFA]). The topics to be addressed, selected from proposals by group members, were assigned to subgroups to summarize the available literature and draft recommendations. Following an iterative consensus-seeking process that yielded consensus recommendations, the degree of agreement among panel members was…

A multinational, multidisciplinary consensus for the diagnosis and management of spinal cord compression among patients with mucopolysaccharidosis VI.

2012

Cervical cord compression is a sequela of mucopolysaccharidosis VI, a rare lysosomal storage disorder, and has devastating consequences. An international panel of orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, anesthesiologists, neuroradiologists, metabolic pediatricians, and geneticists pooled their clinical expertise to codify recommendations for diagnosing, monitoring, and managing cervical cord compression; for surgical intervention criteria; and for best airway management practices during imaging or anesthesia. The recommendations offer ideal best practices but also attempt to recognize the worldwide spectrum of resource availability. Functional assessments and clinical neurological examinations …
