In the context of a large outbreak Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O104:H4 in Germany, we quantified timeliness German surveillance system for hemolytic uremic syndrome and E. notifiable diseases during 2003-2011. Although reporting occurred faster than required by law, potential improvement exists at all levels information chain.
Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is one of the leading causes morbidity and mortality in Chad. The reasons behind persistently high prevalence SAM Kanem region are still poorly understood, leaving national international partners without clearly identified drivers to address.

Although shift younger patients occurred (median 3.2 vs. 5.3 years), infants <1 year remained most affected. Underlying immunosuppression was risk factor for hospital-acquired infections (p =...
Self-reporting patient data are valuable feedback for medical treatment and care process, as well clinical trial studies support of treatment. However, traditional paper-based longitudinal surveys or questionnaires health well-being status information time- cost-consuming, may suffer from low compliance. Consequently, an NFC-based electronic capture prototype called inSERT has been designed that allows quick easy self-reporting patients. monitoring enabling, acquisition right the patient's...
