1959 Summary of Disease Outbreaks [PDF]

open access: yesPublic Health Reports (1896-1970), 1960
T HE NUMBER of reported outbreaks of waterborne and foodborne diseases was slightly higher in 1959 than in 1958 (table 1). There was a considerable increase in number of reported outbreaks and cases of staphylococcal food poisoning as compared with the previous year, but this was largely offset by smaller numbers in some other categories (table 2 ...

Bayesian Biosurveillance of Disease Outbreaks

open access: yesCoRR, 2012
Early, reliable detection of disease outbreaks is a critical problem today. This paper reports an investigation of the use of causal Bayesian networks to model spatio-temporal patterns of a non-contagious disease (respiratory anthrax infection) in a population of people.

Sustained Delivery of a Shingles Subunit Vaccine Overcomes Age‐Related Declines in Humoral and Cellular Immunity Relative to Shingrix

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Sustained delivery of a shingles subunit vaccine from an injectable polymer–nanoparticle hydrogel enhanced the potency, durability, and breadth of immune responses in aged mice while minimizing inflammatory cytokine production and reactogenicity. This strategy decouples immunogenicity from reactogenicity and offers a promising approach to improve ...
