This book is the result of a workshop on the quantitative assessment of the impact of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) on society. It is divided into four parts: quality of AIDS/HIV prevalence data used in models; scope and applications of models; linking models with sociological information; and linking models with economic information. The volume mainly provides elaborations of methodological studies presented at the workshop and will stimulate the required integration of international and multidisciplinary collaboration for AIDS impact assessment.
First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
I have cured the Empress of Boolampoo of a Cramp she got in her tongue by eating Pork and buttered parsnips .... The Earl of Rochester-17th Century As the modern outpouring of biological information continues at ever increasing pace, two kinds of reviews are needed to keep the torrent in manageable form. The one assumes a working knowledge of the field in question and tries to bring the reader up to date by reporting and assessing the recent developments. The other attempts to assimilate the recent developments into a coherent restatement of the whole subject. This book falls in the latter category. Trichinella spiralis infection has been in the medical and biological limelight for more than...
In the worldwide fight against the AIDS epidemic, the ability to predict the number and social impact of future cases plays a vital role. The choice of control strategies, public health decisions, and the evaluation of possible interventions depend on having such information that is accurate and reliable. This book is devoted to the statistical analysis of basic data on the spread of AIDS and the mathematical modelling of the transmission and spread of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which causes the disease. Such techniques take into account medical, psychosocial, behavioral and economic factors, and can help to integrate this information into an efficient methodology for the estimation of future needs and how to meet them. In addition to AIDS specialists, the studies here will be valuable to all those involved in public health, epidemiology and the control of communicable diseases.
The terms of reference entrusted to the select committee and the consultant by the European Health Committee were: 1) to consider the various methods of preventive screening for early signs of disease, defects or risk factors in adults (from age 18 onwards), including pre-natal screening for expectant mothers; 2) to evaluate the efficiency, effectiveness and social feasibility of these methods. it should be noted that, while the evaluation criteria adopted are universal (ie can and should be applied to all preventive screening programmes as defined below), the conclusions and recommendations which follow, relating to particular programmes, are not universal, except when a programme fails to meet even the basic bio-technical criteria, in which case it evidently cannot be recommended for any country. The select committee whished to include all important health conditions or risk factors for which preventive screening has been or reasonably might be envisaged for adult populations in the Council of Europe's member States. The committee reviewed over 50 potential conditions and risk factors, and, not without difficulty, selected 34 items for detailed evaluation.
