[Marijuana for medical purposes--public health perspective].
Studies show significant negative effects of smoking marijuana on physical and mental health as well as social and occupational functioning. At the same time, there are more considerations about its ability to treat a number of diseases. This review summarizes current data in scientific literature that examines the medical effects of marijuana on human health with particular emphasis on its pot...
متن کاملMolecular Methods for Bacterial Strain Typing
ABSTRACT Typing of bacteria is an important part of epidemiological studies on nosocomial infections. Bacterial identification methods have dramatically improved in recent years, which is mainly due to advancements in the field of molecular biotechnology. In many cases, molecular techniques have replaced phenotypic typing methods. Currently, a wide r...
متن کاملSCHNAPS: a generic population-based simulator for public health purposes
In this paper, we present SCHNAPS, a generic simulator designed for health care modelling and simulations, parametrizable by configuration files and usable by non-programmers such as public health specialists. SCHNAPS is a populationbased simulator, using hybrid-state agents to simulate timedriven models. Its software architecture integrates some fundamental object oriented concepts to facilita...
متن کاملFrom theory to practice: molecular strain typing for the clinical and public health setting.
The persistence and transmission of infectious disease is one of the most enduring and daunting concerns in healthcare. Over the years, epidemiological analysis especially of bacterial etiological agents has undergone a remarkable evolutionary metamorphosis. While initially relying on purely phenotypic characterisation, advances in molecular biology have found translational application in a num...
متن کاملMolecular Typing in Public Health Laboratories: From an Academic Indulgence to an Infection Control Imperative
Using three Austrian case studies, the variegated applications of molecular typing in today's public health laboratories are discussed to help illustrate preventive management strategies relying on DNA subtyping. DNA macrorestriction analysis by pulsed field gel electrophoresis has become the gold standard for subtyping of food borne pathogens like listeria, salmonella, campylobacter and Bacill...
