Biosurveillance in Outbreak Investigations

Biosecurity and Bioterrorism: Biodefense Strategy, Practice, and Science, 2013
Following the terrorist attacks of September 11 and the anthrax attacks in 2001, public health entities implemented automated surveillance systems based on disease syndromes for early detection of bioterror events and to increase timeliness of responses.

The CommonGround visual paradigm for biosurveillance

2013 IEEE International Conference on Intelligence and Security Informatics, 2013
Biosurveillance is a critical area in the intelligence community for real-time detection of disease outbreaks. Identifying epidemics enables analysts to detect and monitor disease outbreak that might be spread from natural causes or from possible biological warfare attacks.

Biosurveillance of ED visits for gastroenteritis

The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2007
Our objective was to characterize emergency department (ED) visits for gastroenteritis by season and age and develop a predictive model.We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients seen in 19 EDs from 1988 to 2002. We examined differences in the annual peaks of younger (60 months) age groups and developed a time series regression model.Of the ...

Statistical Challenges in BioSurveillance

2009
One goal in biosurveillance is to detect patterns in disease rates, such as temporal and/or geographic clustering. Traditionally, disease rates are available by geographic unit over weekly, monthly, or yearly time bins, and covariates such as age, gender, and socio-economic status can be used to adjust predicted rates prior to testing for clustering ...

Toward designing a secure biosurveillance cloud

The Journal of Supercomputing, 2011
Biosurveillance is very complex, and it complements traditional public health surveillance to provide both early warning of infectious disease events and leads to situational awareness as well as to signaling any potential threat for using biological agents as weapons of mass destruction. Biosurveillance requires close cooperation and rapid information-

Biosurveillance: A Modern Look

Journal of Biosecurity, Biosafety, and Biodefense Law, 2020
Abstract The early part of the twenty-first century saw a revolution in the field of Homeland Security. The 9/11 attacks, shortly followed thereafter by the Anthrax Attacks, served as a wakeup call to the United States and showed the inadequacy of the current state of the nation’s Homeland Security operations. Biodefense, and as a direct

Radiation (and Medical) Biosurveillance

2007
Surveillance and management for therapy-related normal tissue damage in survivors of both childlhood and adult-onset cancer is necessary to maximize health-related quality of life. Progress by the (Children’s Oncology Group (COG) can be modeled or adapted for a adult malignancy, and is described in this report.

Biosurveillance grid: evaluation of the distribution of biosurveillance data across multiple computers.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium, 2008
Storing public health data in a centralize location for biosurveillance can be expensive and susceptible to server down time. We compared the performance of a distributed data grid against a centralized database to determine if a grid framework can provide fast, reliable, and inexpensive biosurveillance system.

The role of zoos in biosurveillance

International Zoo Yearbook, 2007
Zoos are ideally placed to act as epidemiological monitoring stations because for decades, many have been building up detailed collections of serum banks, tissue banks and medical record‐keeping systems that could be mined for information that would be beneficial to public health.
