Surveillance and intervention are resource-using activities of strategies to mitigate the unwanted effects disease. Resources scarce, allocating them disease mitigation instead other uses necessarily involves loss alternative sources benefit people. For society obtain maximum benefits from using resources, gains must be compared resource costs, guiding decisions made with objective achieving optimal net outcome. Economics provides criteria guide aimed at optimising use scarce resources....
The radioisotope techniques used for the measurement of gastric emptying solid meals in man require complex and expensive scintiscanners cameras. We have evaluated a simple technique which uses fixed scintillation detector compared results with those obtained from gamma camera. rates patterns recorded by two methods correlated well both healthy volunteers (mean r= 0.95) patients duodenal ulcer r =0.89). provides reliable inexpensive method meals.
A framework for categorization of economic impacts outbreaks highly contagious livestock diseases (HCLD) is presented. This interprets veterinary measures to control HCLD with reference definitions costs and benefits, the implications value losses both different stakeholders affected society as a whole. Four cost categories are identified, that virus control-related direct (DC), spread prevention zoning-related consequential (DCC), market price disruption-related during (indirect costs, ICC)...
Chronic venous insufficiency may be associated with lipodermatosclerosis or atrophie blanche. Coagulation abnormalities related to these cutaneous disorders.Our purpose was determine whether fibrinolytic exist in patients blanche.A case control study of disease and blanche performed. Plasma levels tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) a resting occluded state were measured.Plasma PAI-1 different between the two groups patients. The group had significantly higher both states...
summary Evaluating the Role of Surveillance in National Policies for Animal Health is an increasingly important component policies aimed at mitigating effects animal disease, and as a focus evaluation its economic worth. This article results from project commissioned by Swiss Federal Veterinary Office to develop practical, generic tool disease surveillance programmes. The first task was define surveillance, consider role relation intervention, other mitigation. cannot be properly evaluated...
