1959 Summary of Disease Outbreaks [PDF]

Public 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 ...

Host‐Directed Biomaterials for Combatting Bloodstream Infections: From Macrocyclic Peptides to Immune‐Activating Cell Backpacks

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bloodstream infections (BSI) are one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in both civilian and military populations. This paper summarizes recent progress in novel treatment strategies to manage BSI arising from both bacterial and fungal pathogens using molecules, particles, and materials to elicit host‐directed immunity.

Nano‐ and Micro‐Sized Solid Materials Used as Antiviral Agents

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Due to the rise of viral infections in humans and possible viral outbreaks, the use of nano‐ or micro‐sized materials as antiviral agents is rapidly increasing. This review explores their antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses, either as a prevention or a treatment tool, by delving into their mechanisms of action and how to properly assess ...
