Genetic effects in nonspecific resistance to infectious disease.
When this topic, nonspecific resistance to infectious disease, first came under the author's consideration it seemed quite possible to group many factors affecting disease resistance into the nonspecific category. At first thought, penicillin, botulinus toxin, and climatic differences might be considered such agents. Penicillin affects several species of bacteria in several hosts. Botulinus tox...

متن کاملNurses' Working Conditions: Implications for Infectious Disease1
Staffing patterns and nurses' working conditions are risk factors for healthcare-associated infections as well as occupational injuries and infections. Staffing shortages, especially of nurses, have been identified as one of the major factors expected to constrain hospitals' ability to deal with future outbreaks of emerging infections. These problems are compounded by a global nursing shortage....
متن کاملHealthcare Settings as Amplifiers of Infectious Disease1
Global outbreaks of severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (SARS) in 2003 demonstrated the potential of healthcare facilities to serve as amplifiers of a new communicable disease. However, healthcare settings can also be amplifiers of multidrug-resistant bacteria and bloodborne viruses. In the public health and healthcare delivery systems, amplifying forces include weaknesses in communicati...
متن کاملA Resampling-based Test to Detect Person-to-person Transmission of Infectious Disease1 By
Early detection of person-to-person transmission of emerging infectious diseases such as avian influenza is crucial for containing pandemics. We developed a simple permutation test and its refined version for this purpose. A simulation study shows that the refined permutation test is as powerful as or outcompetes the conventional test built on asymptotic theory, especially when the sample size ...
