Journal of Hospital Infection, 2004 Since its emergence in the first months of 2003, the epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) has been characterized by rapid spread among healthcare workers (HCWs). Uncertainty about the route of transmission of the virus suggests the use of respirators that can protect HCWs against both droplet nuclei and droplet transmission, rather than

The Impact of the SARS Epidemic on the Utilization of Medical Services: SARS and the Fear of SARS
American Journal of Public Health, 2004 Using interrupted time-series analysis and National Health Insurance data between January 2000 and August 2003, this study assessed the impacts of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic on medical service utilization in Taiwan. At the peak of the SARS epidemic, significant reductions in ambulatory care (23.9%), inpatient care (35.2 ...

Respirology, 2003 Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) originated in Southern China in November 2002, and was brought to Hong Kong in February 2003. From Hong Kong, the disease spread rapidly worldwide but mostly to Asian countries. At the end of the epidemic in June, the global cumulative total was 8422 cases with 916 deaths (case fatality rate of 11%).

Respirology, 2003 The pharmacotherapy for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is controversial and largely anecdotal. Most patients with suspected SARS should initially be treated with potent antibiotics before proceeding to ‘anti‐SARS’ therapy. There is a spectrum of severity and rate of progression in SARS, and the stages of viral replication, inflammatory ...

Detection of SARS Coronavirus in Patients with Suspected SARS [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004 Cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) were investigated for SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) through RNA tests, serologic response, and viral culture. Of 537 specimens from patients in whom SARS was clinically diagnosed, 332 (60%) had SARS-CoV RNA in one or more clinical specimens, compared with 1 (0.3%) of 332 samples from controls.

Differentiable SAR Renderer and SAR Target Reconstruction
CoRR, 2022 Forward modeling of wave scattering and radar imaging mechanisms is the key to information extraction from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. Like inverse graphics in optical domain, an inherently-integrated forward-inverse approach would be promising for SAR advanced information retrieval and target reconstruction.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome: ‘SARS’ or ‘not SARS’ [PDF]
Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, 2004 Abstract: Accurate clinical diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) based on the current World Health Organization definition is difficult and at times impossible at the early stage of the disease. Both false positive and false negative cases are commonly encountered and this could have far‐reaching detrimental effects on the patients ...

SAR++: a multi-channel scalable and reconfigurable SAR system [PDF]
IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2003 SAR++ is a technology program aiming at developing know-how and technology needed to design the next generation civilian SAR systems. Technology has reached a state, which allows major parts of the digital subsystem to be built using custom-off-the-shelf (COTS) components.
