Statistical analysis and characteristics of hospital medical waste under novel Coronavirus outbreak
One of thesources of infection as a result of coronavirus disease treatment is the medical waste generated during the health care activities. Since the registration of the first infected case of coronavirus in Jordan the daily number of patients fluctuated from as low as zero to as high as 40 with a recovery ratio and case fatality risk of 39% and 1.7%, respectively. The main objective of the p...
متن کاملCoronavirus outbreak in cheetahs: Lessons for SARS
In November 2002, a flu-like outbreak caused by a coronavirus now known as SARS-CoV occurred in Guangdong Province in China.

متن کاملDetection of airborne severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus and environmental contamination in SARS outbreak units.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is characterized by a risk of nosocomial transmission; however, the risk of airborne transmission of SARS is unknown. During the Toronto outbreaks of SARS, we investigated environmental contamination in SARS units, by employing novel air sampling and conventional surface swabbing. Two polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-positive air samples were obtained fro...
متن کاملAn outbreak of coronavirus OC43 respiratory infection in Normandy, France.
The 2 groups of human coronaviruses (HCoVs) represented by the prototype strains HCoV 229E and HCoV OC43 are mostly known as viruses responsible for common cold syndrome. HCoVs are difficult to detect, and epidemiological data are rare. From October 2000 through April 2001, we tested 1803 respiratory samples for HCoV by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. From 8 February through 27...
متن کاملObesity: Increasing Awareness of Novel Environmental Factors
Over the past 20 years, the molecular underpinnings of energy homeostasis have come to light (1–4) at a rate strikingly similar to that of the rising prevalence of obesity (5, 6). The fact that one is statistically more likely to be overweight or obese in the U.S. today has profound ramifications for basic scientific research, translational research, public policy, and our health care economy. ...
