Abstract:
Before the consolidation of the germ theory of human diseases at the end of the nineteenth century, medical explanations about disease causation were dominated by the environmental notions of medical geography. This dissertation explores how nineteenth-century Colombian physicians transformed the medical geographical approach using the early concepts and technologies of the emerging Pasteurian germ theory. I follow this transformation in the cases of periodic fevers (yellow fever and malaria), continuous fevers (typhoid fever and typhus) and leprosy. The analysis reveals that by mid century physicians had incorporated neo-Hippocratic versions of disease causation and French medical geographical ideas in order to make sense of disease of the warm, temperate and cold lands. Their conceptual network revolved around the specific, predisposing and occasional causes in which climate and geography played a determinant role. Evidence indicates that this was the case of periodic fevers of the warm lands (yellow fever and malaria). I argue that the “parasitic” hypothesis of yellow fever was accepted during the controversy around the prophylactic inoculations inspired by Pasteurism that were applied in Colombia in 1887. However, doctors struggled to reconcile the medical geographical and the bacteriological perspective of both yellow fever and malaria. Continuous fevers, on the other hand, were also framed within the medical geography scheme of disease causation. I show how during the debates about typhoid fever and typhus happening in the Colombian highlands during the 70s, 80s and 90s, doctors used medical geographical notions and developed anti-pasteurian arguments, while the international scientific community had identified the specific bacilli for typhoid fever. Finally, I argue that the strong interest of Colombian doctors on leprosy –also understood in neo-Hippocratic terms- that foster the search for local treatments based on Pasteurism (antiseptics in the 1880s and serotherapy in the 1890s) also prompted the extension of the bacteriological model and techniques to other diseases in those decades.

Abstract:
Two disease regions existed on the Oregon Trail. Asiatic cholera impacted the Platte River flood plain from 1849 to 1852. Dysentery developed two endemic foci due to the decay of buffalo carcasses in eastern and middle Nebraska between 1844 and 1848, but later developed a much larger endemic region west of this Great Plains due to the infection of livestock carcasses by opportunistic bacteria. This study demonstrates that whereas Asiatic cholera diffusion along the Trail was defined primarily by human population features, topography, and regional climate along the Platte River flood plain, the distribution of opportunistic dysentery along the Trail was defined primarily by human and animal fitness in relation to local topography features. By utilizing a geographic interpretation of disease spread, the Asiatic cholera epidemic caused by Vibrio cholerae could be distinguished from the dysentery epidemic caused by one or more species of Salmonella or Campylobacter. In addition, this study also clarifies an important discrepancy popular to the Oregon Trail history literature. "Mountain fever," a disease typically associated with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, was demonstrated to be cases of fever induced by the same bacteria responsible for opportunistic dysentery. In addition, several important geographic methods of disease interpretations were used for this study. By relating the epidemiological transition model of disease patterns to the early twentieth century sequent occupance models described in numerous geography journals, a spatially- and temporally-oriented disease model was produced applicable to reviews of disease history, a method of analysis which has important applications to current studies of disease patterns in rapidly changing rural and urban population settings.

As epidemias infectocontagiosas tais como cólera, dengue, malária, sarampo, tuberculose e AIDS assolam a sociedade humana, desestruturando a população nos segmentos sociais, econômicos e políticos. Dentre essas doenças optou-se em estudar os casos de AIDS, através da observação das categorias de exposição (sexo, preferência sexual, uso de drogas, faixa etária e razão por sexo) e das características sócio-territoriais da AIDS, permitindo-se assim trabalhar duas vertentes: o recorte do assistencialismo, o qual é responsável em cronificar a doença, evitando a morte do paciente, e, também elucidar uma possível mudança no perfil da doença. Essa discussão desenvolveu-se segundo a abordagem qualitativa e sob a perspectiva da Geografia socioambiental, utilizando-se de diferentes metodologias, as quais possibilitaram a construção dos mapas sócio-territoriais, gráficos e tabelas, traçando, dessa maneira, o perfil da epidemia na cidade de Piracicaba, visando contribuir com as políticas públicas para a saúde, assegurando acessibilidade aos serviços
The contagious epidemics such as cholera, dengue fever, malaria, measles, tuberculosis and AIDS devastates the human society, disintegrating the human society in social, economical and political segments. Among those diseases, it was decided to study the cases of AIDS, through the observation of different ways of exposition (sex, sexual option, use of drugs, age range and proportion of infected man to women ) and the characteristics related to social-geographical characteristics of AIDS, allowing to work in two different points of view: the welfare system, which is responsible for preventing a reinfection , avoiding the death of the patient and also, elucidate a possible change in the characteristics of the disease. This discussion developed according to a qualitative approach under the perspective of the socio-environmental Geography using different methodologies, which allow the construction of social-gegraphical maps, graphs and tables, outlining, this way, the characteristics of the epidemics in the city of Piracicaba, in order to contribute to the public policies for health, assuring the accessibility to the services

Abstract:
In 1997, the Virginia Refugee Health Program coordinated a protocol and reimbursement structure to encourage health departments to perform initial health screenings on refugees settling in the Commonwealth by establishing four recommended levels of assessment. This thesis is concerned with these initial health-related services provided to refugees by Virginia's health departments, the quality of these services, and how they vary from one district to another. For this study, I interviewed health department staff representing 13 of Virginia's 19 districts that rendered health screenings in 2000. Information such as the level of assessment provided, and the types of procedures and services offered were the main foci of the interviews. I found that of the 13 districts, three (the cities of Alexandria and Virginia Beach, and Prince William County) offer only the required minimum to refugees. The variations I discovered in the services that health districts provide suggest, conceptually, the workings of both "structure" and "agency." Each health department is formally and informally structured in terms of staffing, services, and resources in accordance with its individual needs and initiatives. The structure of current funding at both the state and local level acts to inhibit some health districts from providing all four levels of assessment. In addition, human agency in the form of personal interest in meeting refugee's health needs as well as district collaboration with local resettlement agencies, also plays an important role in the extent of refugee services rendered.

Full text
Abstract:
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has long perceived the human body as a holistic system to sustain a healthy state. It emphasises that natural and social environments influence the physical and emotional balance of the human health. Contemporary health geography also recognises that place or environment is indispensable in studying population health. Both TCM and health geography share some similar views on the place effects on human health and wellbeing. However, the effects of TCM concept of body constitution and those of the living environment on the state of human health have not been supported with much empirical evidence. This study is an attempt to address three issues: a) Is there a place effect on body constitution? b) What are the possible individual or neighbourhood/community explanations behind the place effect? and c) Is there an association between body constitution and disease occurrence? The study uses multilevel logistic models to explore the evidence of place on body constitution. This study proposes to generalise “place” by means of an actual geographical division at the level of street block group for hypothesis testing through examining their covariance components in the multilevel analysis. The analysis also takes simultaneous accounts of both individual-level (gender, age, BMI, type of housing) and area-level (percent greenery, percent road surface, total road intersection, sky view factor, temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, and social deprivation index) characteristics to explain the geographical variation of body constitution. The bivariate choropleth mapping technique in cartographic design is employed to visualise and generalise the spatial correlation between body constitution and neighbourhood effects. The association between body constitution and disease prevalence are tested using the binary logistic regression analysis. The individual data of body constitution comprise a cohort of 3,277 patients attending the Centre of Integrated Health Management providing TCM services at the Kwong Wah Hospital. The attendance period was between 1/3/2009 and 31/12/2012 inclusive. The majority of patients was middle-aged Chinese (40 to 60) living within the remit of the Kowloon West Cluster. Despite limitations in the data, the findings unveil different views on human and environmental health pertaining to the Chinese population. It confirms that place does matter in the outcome of body constitution and the variability between neighbourhoods involves a dynamic interplay between individual and environmental factors. Specifically, the use of different geographic aggregation units (street block group and 800m buffer around each subject’s home location) to parameterise environmental factors brings out place characteristics of select body constitutions and exemplifies the modifiable areal unit problem in population health studies. This study is a first attempt to bring together health geography and body constitution theory to illuminate the interconnectedness between health, disease, personal attributes, and place. Because the TCM concept of body constitution is not an exact science and each individual can have more than one dominant body constitution which may change in time, it has been a challenge to resolve data issues and methodological constraints. Nonetheless, the study has contributed some interesting observations about TCM body constitution and its relationship with place.

Abstract:
Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is a method in which tools are passed through a natural orifice to the surgical site. This removes the need for external incisions, which can allow patients to recover more quickly without any visible abdominal scarring. This surgical method also has several limitations including limited space, complex lumen geography, and difficult visualization [1]. To address these problems, researchers have developed various tools, including endoscope-based robots [2], and insertable bimanual robots [3]. However, some of the aforementioned constraints/limitations remain, and consideration of accessories for use with these tools remains relevant. Our lab designed a multifunctional NOTES robot, which consists of a snakelike linkage driven by cables that are attached to motors in an external housing to navigate through the lumen geometry; it also includes a bimanual end effector with interchangeable tool tips [4]. This paper introduces the design of an adjustable table mount to address the limitations related to transluminal insertion. It provides four passive degrees of freedom (DOFs) to grossly place the robot, and enables the robot to be fixed on surgical tables with different sizes. Benchtop testing on a surgical table with a patient mannequin demonstrates its functionality.

Abstract:
Abstract Introduction There has been an increase in the incidence of malignancies in young Indians, and there is no data reflecting the trend and profile of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancers. Objectives This study was aimed to ascertain the epidemiology of AYA cancers in a tertiary care center in south India and the trend of AYA cancers during the past 9 years. Materials and Methods All patients aged 15 to 39 years with the diagnosis of cancer who were registered and received treatment with M.S. Ramaiah Hospital during a 9-year period from January 2011 to December 2019 were included. Basic demographic information on age, gender was available along with address and contact information. Using cancer site and morphology codes, the cancers were grouped by the ICD-O coding system of AYA cancers and their clinical information on disease and treatment status were collected retrospectively and analyzed. Results Of the total 946 registered AYA cancer patients, majority of AYA cancer were in age group of 35 to 39 years (39%) and females (58%). When analyzing the data and dividing the AYA population into early (15–24 years) and late (25–39 years), we found that whereas the majority of the patients had hematolymphoid malignancies (48%) in the early group (15–24 years), the late group (25–39 years) had more carcinomas (68%). The percentage distribution of AYA cancers among the study population, lymphoma and leukemia contribute 11% and 15%, respectively, to the patient load and still the carcinomas formed the bulk (58%) of the population. It is interesting to know that breast, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies constituted 17.75%, 14.16%, and 14.69% individually. Conclusion AYA oncology consists of a heterogeneous population and the profile differs by geography, sex, and other factors. There has been limited improvement in the past decade but there is a lot more to be done. To assess the problem, we have to identify and characterize the problem and look at the epidemiology of this population. This will require multicenter and international studies with focus on improving outcomes as in pediatric inspired ALL protocols. The trials should be started at local levels to ensure maximum participation. We need to generate data on epidemiology and channel our resources properly to save this precious but so called lost tribe of oncology.

Abstract:
Unique maps of the atlas of Poland compiled by G.A.B. Rizzi-Zannoni in the middle of the 18th century and published in early 1772 are important scientific sources. The atlas contains detailed information on the historical geography of the Northern and North-Western Black Sea region. Of particular importance is the unique map of Moldavia and the territories adjacent to it (the 23rd, as well as the 22nd and 24th sheets of the atlas), compiled based on earlier sources – the rich cartographic materials of the predecessors (G.L. Beauplan, D.K. Cantemir and others), and first of all, the works of the cartographers of the Ottoman Empire, which flourished in the 15th – 17th centuries, have not yet been identified or studied. The work of Rizzi-Zannoni is a reproduction of the oldest (found at the moment) topographic map of the North-Western Black Sea region, reflecting the geographical picture no later than the first half of the 16th – second half of the 17th centuries. Current and further study of the fortifications (castles, fortresses and other fortifications) marked on the maps of Rizzi-Zannoni and representing the most important complexes and objects of historical and cultural heritage are impossible without the involvement of the author’s unique information. Descriptions and reconstructions of fortifications that ignore topography and other details reported by this unique source are a priori incomplete or may even be erroneous. The historic-geographical information recorded on the Rizzi-Zannoni maps is of enormous multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary significance. Its consideration is important for modern and future studies of geography, history, archaeology, architecture, culture, art, ethnography, linguistics, the toponymy of the region as a whole and each heritage site.

Abstract:
Appalachia is one of the most medically underserved areas in the nation. The region has provider shortages and limited healthcare infrastructure. Children and adolescents in this area are in poor health and do not receive the needed quality care. Implementation of section 2302 of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) enabled children enrolled in Medicaid/Children's Health Insurance Program with a terminal illness to use hospice care while continuing treatment for their terminal illness. In addition to being more comprehensive than standard hospice care, this relatively new type of care is more culturally congruent with the end-of-life values of rural Appalachian families, who often view standard hospice as hastening death. The overall goal of this project was to investigate access to pediatric concurrent hospice care in Appalachia. Our central hypothesis was that concurrent care reduces rural/urban disparities in access to hospice care. Data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) used in this project was used and included 1,788 children who resided in the Appalachian region– from January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2013. Observations with missing birth dates, death dates, and participants older than 21 years were removed from the final sample. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) databases were created to map the boundaries of the Appalachian region, hospice locations, and driving times to them.
