To inform planning for an influenza pandemic, we estimated US demand N95 filtering facepiece respirators (respirators) by healthcare and emergency services personnel need surgical masks pandemic patients seeking care.We used a spreadsheet-based model to estimate 3 scenarios of respirator use: base case (usage approximately follows epidemic curve), intermediate rises peak then remains constant), maximum (all workers use from onset). We assumed that in the scenario, up 16 would be required per...
Background: International data show a low-level increased risk of intussusception associated with rotavirus vaccination. Although US have not documented risk, we assumed similar to international settings and compared potential vaccine-associated cases benefits prevention gastroenteritis by fully implemented vaccine program. Methods: To calculate excess cases, used national on coverage baseline rates, relative 5.3 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.0–9.3) in the first week after dose, seen...
In 2008, a large Salmonella outbreak caused by contamination of the municipal drinking water supply occurred in Alamosa, Colorado. The objectives this assessment were to determine full economic costs associated with and long-term health impacts on community Alamosa. We conducted postal survey City Alamosa (2008 population: 8,746) households businesses, in-depth interviews local, state, nongovernmental agencies, healthcare facilities schools assess outbreak. Twenty-one percent household...
could be expected over time; the resources and personnel needed to respond adequately; impact of interventions, such as Ebola treatment units
To explain the spread of 2014 Ebola epidemic in West Africa, and thus help with response planning, we analyzed publicly available data. We found that risk for infection an area can be predicted by case counts, population data, distances between affected nonaffected areas.
The burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasing worldwide. It often asymptomatic, with stroke being the first manifestation in some. AF community and practice prophylaxis has not been studied India. problem might be higher rural regions due to poor health awareness challenges healthcare access. This study aimed estimate prevalence AF, clinical profile risk India.This a community-based cross-sectional done Andhra Pradesh (AP). Adults from 40 villages formed population. We did door-to...
In Nepal, preventable death and disability from burn injuries are common due to poor population-level spatial access organized care. Most severe burns referred a single facility nationwide, often after suboptimal stabilization and/or significant care delay. Therefore, we aimed identify existing first-level hospitals within Nepal that would optimize as "burn points" if their acute capabilities strengthened. A location-allocation model was created using designated candidate hospitals,...
This review article discusses current technological advances in biomedical devices,emphasizing cardiovascular and ophthalmic application diagnostic,monitoring, prosthetic instruments systems. The scope encompasses various aspects, including implantable retinal devices, portable device for carotid stiffness measurement, automatic identification algorithms arteries, cuffless evaluation of pulse pressure, wearable neural recording systems, arterial compliance probes. Additionally, the paper...
Linking information processing and energy flows via thermodynamics, Landauer (1961) proposed that irreversible computational processes have an inevitable "thermodynamic cost". We explore the existence of such a link in case neural network model associative memory. Our simulations with electronic implementation Hopfield showed enhanced performance could only be obtained by increased dissipation as heat. Contrarily, efforts to minimize led impaired performance.
The epidemiology of atrial fibrillation (AF) in India has not been studied systematically large scale population based surveys. Stroke is one the leading causes death and disability India. As AF a major contributor stroke, it important to know burden stroke risk population. Andhra Pradesh Atrial Fibrillation (AP-AF) study aims assess prevalence, etiology, factors among rural Pradesh, This cross-sectional survey done using two-stage sampling process. Adults (≥18years) from villages East West...
Arterial stiffness, a proxy of vascular aging is an important marker cardiovascular events and mortality that independent traditional risk factors. The carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) the gold standard for non-invasive assessment arterial stiffness. Measuring stiffness can aid in early detection people who are at risk. State-of-the-art devices, majorly employing applanation tonometry carotid site demand extensive skill, expensive, not amenable routine or out-of-clinic usage. To...
