Descriptive Epidemiology in Clinical Epidemiology [PDF]
, 2010 We live in the era of evidence-based medicine where “true believers” tend to disregard anything but randomized clinical trials (RCTs) even when assessing the impact of any intervention or diagnostic procedure.

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.

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

Headache disorders constitute a public-health problem of enormous proportions, with an impact on both the individual sufferer and society. Epidemiological knowledge is required to quantitate the significance of these disorders. The effects on individuals can be assessed by examining prevalence, distribution, attack frequency and duration, and headache-

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1967
THE EPIDEMIC of rubella 25 years ago in Australia resulted in the first recognition of the significance of this infection as a cause of defective children. It was following this epidemic that the ophthalmologist Sir Norman Gregg noted a high frequency of cataracts in children and recognized the association between rubella in the first trimester of ...
