Na provincijalno-rimskom groblju Štrbinci kod Đakova, iz druge polovice 4. i prve polovice 5. st., dosad je istraženo stotinjak kosturnih grobova. Među većinom priloga, prosječnih u smislu učestalosti pojavljivanja na kasnorimskim grobljima Panonije, zatečena je i nekolicina nalaza iznimnih po svojoj materijalnoj, statusnoj i/ili kulturnoj rijetkosti, dragocjenosti ili pak neobičnosti. Među nji...

BACKGROUND The World Health Organisation recommends outpatient influenza-like illness (ILI) and inpatient severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) surveillance. We evaluated two influenza surveillance systems in South Africa: one for ILI and another for SARI. METHODOLOGY The Viral Watch (VW) programme has collected virological influenza surveillance data voluntarily from patients with ILI sinc...

BACKGROUND Since May 2009, exposure of the population of Beijing, China to pH1N1 has resulted in an increase in respiratory illnesses. Limited information is available on the etiology and clinical characteristics of the influenza-like illness (ILI) that ensued in adults following the pH1N1 pandemic. METHODS Clinical and epidemiological data of ILI in adults was collected. A total of 279 throa...

OBJECTIVE To characterize the first-wave epidemiologic features of influenza-like illness (ILI) associated with the novel pandemic A/H1N1 [A(H1N1)pdm09] virus. METHODS We used generalized linear mixed models (GLMM) to assess risk factors and non-parametric and/or parametric distributions to estimate attack rates, secondary attack rates (SAR), duration of illness, and serial interval during a ...

OBJECTIVE We aim to characterize the effects on total body fat and distribution of a 1-year intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) for weight loss in overweight and obese adults with type 2 diabetes and to examine whether changes in adipose tissue (AT) depots were associated with changes in metabolic biomarkers. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Participants were 54 females and 38 males (age 57.8 ±...

To assess adherence to real-time changes in guidelines for influenza diagnosis and use of oseltamivir during the 2009 influenza A(H1N1) pandemic, we reviewed medical records of patients with confirmed or suspected influenza-like illness (ILI) and those with no viral testing in a large Los Angeles (California, USA) hospital. Of 882 tested patients, 178 had results positive for influenza; 136 of ...

BACKGROUND Using demographic and clinical measures from emergency department evaluations, we developed an automated surveillance system for influenza-like illness (ILI). METHODS We selected a random sample of patients who were seen at the Durham, NC Veterans Affairs Medical Center between May 2002 and October 2009 with fever or a respiratory ICD-9 diagnosis code and divided this into subsets ...

This study investigates the merits of employing active learning strategies in the delivery of information literacy instruction (ILI). Traditional approaches to the teaching of information literacy skills – where students are passive recipients of the information they receive – are challenged. Rather, methods that encourage students to actively engage themselves in the learning process are posit...

The Inter Lingual Index ILI in the EuroWordNet architecture is an initially unstructured fund of con cepts which functions as the link between the vari ous language wordnets The ILI concepts originate fromWordNet and have been restructured on the basis of aspects of the internal structure of Word Net links between WordNet and other resources and multilingual mapping between the wordnets This le...

Influenza-like illnesses (ILIs) are caused by several respiratory pathogens. These pathogens show weak to strong seasonal activity implying seasonality in ILI consultations. In this paper, the contribution of pathogens to seasonality of ILI consultations was statistically modelled. Virological count data were first smoothed using modulation models for seasonal time series. Second, Poisson regre...
