Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trachoma is an infectious eye disease that causes blindness; it is prevalent in many poor rural communities. The World Health Organization has set the year 2020 as the target for global elimination of trachoma as a public health problem. To reach this target, the SAFE strategy (Surgery for trichiasis Antibiotics to treat Chlamydia trachomatis infection, and Facial cleanliness and Environmental improvement to reduce transmission of C. trachomatis from one person to another) is recommended for districts and communities with endemic disease. This guide has been written for managers of national and district trachoma control programs. It sets out, step-by-step, what is needed to assess the magnitude and extent of the trachoma problem in the area and how to plan, implement, monitor, and evaluate a program to control, and ultimately eliminate trachoma. Templates for a number of forms recommended for use in a program can be found in the annex. To allow adaptation of the forms for use in a specific program, electronic versions are available on the CD-ROM that accompanies this guide. The CD-ROM also contains an antibiotic requirement estimator, a template budget and a generic evaluation manual. Two versions of this guide are available:The trainer s version includes the guide with a set of 30 slides and the CD-ROM. The learner's version contains the guide with the CD-ROM.

This book was released on 2009-03-05 with total page 1519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last 20 years has seen a rapid increase in infectious diseases, particularly those that are termed "emerging diseases" such as SARS, "neglected diseases" such as malaria and those that are deemed biothreats such as anthrax. It is well-recognized that the most effective modality for preventing infectious diseases is vaccination. This book provides researchers with a better understanding of what is currently known about these diseases, including whether there is a vaccine available or under development. It also informs readers of the key issues in development of a vaccine for each disease. Provides a comprehensive treatise of the agents that are responsible for emerging and neglected diseases and those that can be used as biothreats Includes the processes such as the vaccine development pathway, vaccine manufacturing and regulatory issues that are critical to the generation of these vaccines to the marketplace Each chapter will include a map of the world showing where that particular disease is naturally found
Book Synopsis Informal consultation on end-game challenges for trachoma elimination, Task Force for Global Health, Decatur, United States of America, 7–9 December 2021 by : World Health Organization
Download or read book Informal consultation on end-game challenges for trachoma elimination, Task Force for Global Health, Decatur, United States of America, 7–9 December 2021 written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2022-04-30 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the WHO-recommended “SAFE” strategy (surgery, antibiotics, facial cleanliness, environmental improvement), considerable progress is being made towards global elimination of trachoma as a public health problem. However, it has become apparent that in a small proportion of districts, despite apparently high-quality local implementation of the SAFE strategy, achieving the active trachoma criterion of elimination as a public health problem has been difficult to achieve. Such districts fall into at least two categories: (1) those in which the prevalence of trachomatous inflammation—follicular in 1–9-year-olds (TF1–9) continues to hover above the elimination threshold of 5% despite interventions; and (2) those in which TF1–9 5% is achieved but subsequently returns to ≥5% during the two-and-a-half-year period of surveillance after antibiotic mass drug administration ceases. How these districts should be managed is presently unclear. Uncertainty is deepened by programmatic reliance on TF1–9 as the WHO-recommended indicator for decision-making; TF prevalence is known to be a lagging marker as the prevalence of infection with trachoma’s causative organism, iChlamydia trachomatis/i, declines, and would likely also lag behind population-level infection recrudescence, too. Health ministries and their partners are keen to find solutions to this problem.brbrIn December 2021, WHO’s Department of Control of Neglected Tropical Diseases convened an informal consultation to allow discussion of the way forward with respect to this issue. This document is the meeting report.

Book Synopsis Model-based Geostatistics by : Peter Diggle
Download or read book Model-based Geostatistics written by Peter Diggle and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-05-26 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the first book-length treatment of model-based geostatistics. The text is expository, emphasizing statistical methods and applications rather than the underlying mathematical theory. Analyses of datasets from a range of scientific contexts feature prominently, and simulations are used to illustrate theoretical results. Readers can reproduce most of the computational results in the book by using the authors' software package, geoR, whose usage is illustrated in a computation section at the end of each chapter. The book assumes a working knowledge of classical and Bayesian methods of inference, linear models, and generalized linear models.
