Abstract:

Diseases such as malaria and dengue impose great economic burdens and are a serious threat to public health, with young children being among the worst affected. These diseases are transmitted by mosquitoes, also called disease vectors, which are able to transmit both parasitic and viral infections. One of the most important strategies in the battle against mosquito-borne diseases is vector control by insecticides and the goal is to prevent people from being bitten by mosquitoes. Today’s vector control methods are seriously threatened by the development and spread of insecticide-resistant mosqu

Abstract:

In Western Europe the incidence of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) has increased over the last 30 years, coupled with changes in distribution. Modifications in the TBE enzootic cycle, through a combination of changes in temperature, vertebrate abundance and habitat suitability may have increased the risk of TBE in recent years. In Switzerland, analysis using satellite-derived climate data demonstrated that the environment of areas with TBE since the 1980s and areas that recently became endemic for TBE have become more similar between 2001 and 2009. This was coupled with an increase in April, May

Abstract:

Homoeoprophylaxis (HP) is the use of homoeopathically prepared substances to prevent targeted infectious diseases in recipients. Its first use in an epidemic of Scarlet Fever was documented in 1801. It has been used throughout the world since then for both short-term and long-term preventative purposes. The effectiveness and safety of Golden�s long-term HP program using homoeopathically prepared substances to prevent targeted infectious diseases in recipients was tested through two research projects. The effectiveness of the program could not be established with statistical certainty given the

Abstract:

The transmission of infectious diseases in childcare centres regularly occur and can pose a risk to the health of young children. This research explored the issues that support or impede good infection prevention measures and found gaps in policy and training that, if addressed, could help reduce disease transmission risk. The findings from this research will help inform national conversations to ensure evidence-based infection prevention measures are part of standard practice in the early childhood education and care sector.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, cancers, and cardiovascular disease, share modifiable risk factors, with overweight and obesity, physical inactivity, and poor nutrition being among the most important of these. One public health strategy that has been widely employed to address these risk factors and reduce the burden of NCDs is mass media campaigns (MMCs). These campaigns use multiple channels – including television, radio, billboards, online, and increasingly social media – to communicate messages about the promotion of health and the prevention of the disease.

Climate-sensitive infectious diseases such as hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) are expected to increase with the changing climate, leading to a greater burden on population health.

Hence, local regional-specific climate change adaptation measures needed to be based on an understanding of the health impacts at the regional level. This is particularly relevan

Abstract:

Introduction: Bloodstream infection (BSI) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children (1). There are few descriptions of Escherichia coli (E. coli) BSI in children, particularly in Africa, yet E. coli is increasing in importance as a cause of antibiotic-resistant infection in paediatric settings. Methods: In this retrospective, descriptive study aspects of E. coli BSI epidemiology are described over a 10-year period including incidence risk, risk factors for extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)- producing E. coli BSI, antibiotic susceptibility of the bacterial isolates and out

Abstract:

The IDSA Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) Guideline recommends ceftriaxone in combination with doxycycline as an alternative to combination therapy with ceftriaxone and azithromycin for non-intensive care unit (ICU) patients hospitalized with CAP. This is an attractive alternative regimen due to recent concerns of increased cardiovascular risk associated with azithromycin. The objective of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of azithromycin and doxycycline each in combination with ceftriaxone for non-ICU Veterans hospitalized with CAP.

Abstract:

Contact structure between individuals in a population has a large impact on the spread of an epidemic within this population. Many techniques and models are used to investigate this, from heterogeneous age-age mixing matrices to the use of network models in order to quantify the heterogeneity in the populations contacts. For many diseases, the probability of infection per contact, along with the exact contact structure are unknown, compounding the difficulty of identifying accurate contact structures. In this thesis, the impact that the contact structure has on the epidemic is examined in seve

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Over the past two decades, international health policies focusing on the fight against the human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS), tuberculosis (TB), malaria, and those diseases that address maternal and child health problems, among others, have skewed disease control priorities in China and other Asian countries. Although these are important health problems, an epidemic of chronic, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in China has accounted for a much greater burden of disease due to the ongoing rapid socioeconomic and demographic transition.DISCUSSI

Abstract:

This thesis examines the dynamic of infectious diseases after natural disasters. Methods from epidemiology and geography intersect in the nexus of this research to form new insights into the risk of infectious disease in the aftermath of natural disaster and catastrophe. In the past decades, natural disasters have increased in frequency and magnitude, and with climate change progressing as it is, this trend is expected to continue. It is thus important to gain a fuller understanding of the dynamic between natural disaster and disease, and challenge the persisting problems in disaster and disea

Abstract:

Doctor Pharmaceuticae - DPharm<br>Treatment of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB) infections have become very complicated due to the advent of drug resistance. Drug combinations offer an alternative approach to reducing the emergence of drug resistance. Pharmaceutical co-crystals have provided the pharmaceutical industry with the ability to optimise the physicochemical properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) while preserving the biological activity. Pharmaceutical co-crystals are formed between APIs and suitable co-formers that are biologically safe or
