Hospital Medicine, 2000
Invasive fungal infections have emerged as important causes of hospital related morbidity and mortality. They are increasingly seen in patients not previously considered at risk, e.g. patients on an intensive care unit. Candida albicans and Aspergillus spp. are the most common pathogens, posing challenges in epidemiology, control and treatment.

The Epidemiology of Genetic Epidemiology
Acta geneticae medicae et gemellologiae: twin research, 1992AbstractFamilial aggregation for disease is important; strong familial risk factors must exist even if the increased risk to a relative of an affected individual is modest. It is in practice difficult, however, to conduct studies in genetic epidemiology which conform to strict epidemiological principles.

Epidemiology of Nephrolithiasis
Nephron, 1998The main purpose of the study is to acquire useful information on nephrolithiasis in Italy, given the recent increase in its prevalence. The analysis was based on data from sample surveys of the Italian population carried out in 1983 and 1993–1994 as well as on data obtained from medical records of patients treated at the ASTIF in Fiuggi.

International Journal of Health Services, 1971
Planning for medical care delivery demands epidemiologic expertise. Epidemiology needs conceptual expansion in order to meet this new challenge. This paper sketches some aspects of the historical development of epidemiology. Three basic dimensions of morbidity are discussed: the biologic gradient of disease, duration (time), and the ...

Epidemiology of the Vasculitides
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2003The past year has seen some notable publications in the field of vasculitis epidemiology. The appearance of reports from several different parts of the world has permitted comparisons to be made. In Europe, Wegener granulomatosis appears to be more common at high latitudes, whereas microscopic polyangiitis shows the reverse pattern. Kawasaki disease is

The Epidemiology of Osteosarcoma
2009Osteosarcoma derives from primitive bone-forming mesenchymal cells and is the most common primary bone malignancy. The incidence rates and 95% confidence intervals of osteosarcoma for all races and both sexes are 4.0 (3.5-4.6) for the range 0-14 years and 5.0 (4.6-5.6) for the range 0-19 years per year per million persons.

The prevalence of obesity is increasing at an alarming rate in many parts of the world. In White populations living in the west and north of Europe, Australia, and the United States, the prevalence of obesity is similarly high in men and women. In countries with relatively low gross national product, such as those in Central and Eastern Europe, Asia ...

Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 2001
The epidemiology of osteoporosis is reviewed in this article. Attempts were made to answer the following questions: How should osteoporosis be defined? How can risk factors and bone mineral density (BMD) measurements be applied to diagnose osteoporosis? How do the rates for osteoporotic fractures vary by country, sex, age and time?

The epidemiology of endometriosis
Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America, 2002Abstract: Advances in understanding the epidemiology of endometriosis have lagged behind other diseases because of methodologic problems related to disease definition and control selection. Nevertheless, a better picture of the epidemiology of endometriosis has emerged over the past few decades.
