Pneumococcal pneumonia continues to be a significant global health burden, affecting both children and adults. Traditional diagnostic methods for sputum analysis remain challenging. The objective of this study was twofold: develop rapid easy-to-perform assay the identification Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) directly in specimens using fluorescence microscopy, characterize with high-resolution confocal microscopy ultrastructure pneumococci residing human sputum. We fluorescently labeled...
Information from historical infectious disease outbreaks provides real-world data about and their impacts on affected populations. These can be used to develop a picture of an unfolding outbreak in its early stages, when incoming information is sparse isolated, identify effective control measures guide implementation.This study aimed publicly accessible Web-based visual analytic called Analytics for the Investigation Disease Outbreaks (AIDO) that uses decision support situational awareness...
Background Currently, the identification of infectious disease re-emergence is performed without describing specific quantitative criteria that can be used to identify events consistently. This practice may lead ineffective mitigation. In addition, factors contributing local and assessment global require access data about incidence a large number at level for entire world. paper presents Re-emerging Disease Alert (RED Alert), web-based tool designed help public health officials detect...
Background: Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease (KFD) is a rare condition, distinguished by its hallmark presentation of regional lymphadenopathy in young adult females. While initially observed to exclusively affect cervical lymph nodes females under 40 years old, KFD now known impact individuals any age or gender and manifest with adenopathy various anatomical sites. Nonspecific imaging findings for include enlarged nodes, often exhibiting abnormal morphology Case Presentation: In this study, we...

Infectious disease reemergence is an important yet ambiguous concept that lacks a quantitative definition. Currently, identified without specific criteria describing what constitutes reemergent event. This practice affects reproducible assessments of high-consequence public health events and response prioritization. in turn can lead to misallocation resources. More important, early recognition facilitates effective mitigation. We used supervised machine learning approach detect potential...
Objective: Although relying on verbal definitions of "re-emergence", descriptions that classify a “re-emergence” event as any significant recurrence disease had previously been under public health control, and subjective interpretations these events is currently the conventional practice, this has potential to hinder effective responses. Defining re-emergence in manner offers limited ability for ad hoc analysis prevention control measures facilitates non-reproducible assessments potentially...

Global a requisite early detection that facilitates coordinated interventions these events. Novel informatics tools developed from publicly available data are constantly evolving with incorporation new streams. Re-emerging Infectious Disease (RED) Alert open-source tool...
Objective: Analytics for the Investigation of Disease Outbreaks (AIDO) is a web-based tool designed to enhance user’s understanding unfolding infectious disease events. A representative library over 650 outbreaks across wide selection diseases allows similar be matched conditions entered by user. These historic contain detailed information on how progressed as well what measures were implemented control its spread, allowing better within context other outbreaks.Introduction: Situational...
