Characteristics and Geographic Dispersion of Syndromic Surveillance Systems in the United States in 2008
To understand the characteristics, scope, and geographic dispersion of syndromic surveillance systems in the United States in 2008, we reviewed information about their existence and characteristics in each state. We abstracted and compiled data from peer-reviewed literature, public reports, news stories, press releases, and Internet sites; we then analyzed the data, using a systematic instrument. For systems that collected emergency department (ED) information, we estimated the percentage of annual ED visits whose data were reported to the system. In 2008, 39 states and the District of Columbia had syndromic surveillance systems. ED records (65 percent) and hospital admissions records (43 pe...

Dementia
This definitive work on dementia and related disorders has been fully updated and revised to reflect recent advances in this fast moving field. The incidence of dementia continues to rise as the population of the world ages, and the condition represents one of the most significant challenges facing societies and health professionals in the next half-century.

Dementia, Fourth Edition, is essential reading for all specialists in old age psychiatry, neurology and care of the elderly. It will also prove invaluable for all clinicians working with patients affected by dementia, including psychologists, occupational therapists, social workers and specialist nursing staff.
Principles and Practice of Public Health Surveillance
Public health surveillance is the systematic, ongoing assessment of the health of a community, based on the collection, interpretation, and use of health data. Surveillance provides information necessary for public health decision making and interventions. In the third edition of Principles and Practice of Public Health Surveillance, the editors present an organized approach to planning, developing, and implementing public health surveillance systems in response to the rapidly changing field of public health.
