Disease ecology and causation
Livestock, pathogens, vectors, and their environment
Livestock are important reservoirs for many zoonotic diseases, however the effects of livestock on human and environmental health extend well beyond direct disease transmission. In this retrospective ecological cohort study we use pre-existing data and the parametric g-formula, which imputes potential outcomes to quantify mediation, to estimate three hypothesized mechanisms by which livestock can influence human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) risk…
An inevitable pandemic
The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and the resulting disease, COVID-19, in China in late 2019 provides unique and sometimes overwhelming challenges to global public health and to the health and well-being of populations. The World Health Organization’s subsequent declaration of this outbreak as a public health emergency of international importance was, if anything, an understatement. The emergence of this pathogen is best seen as the latest and globally…
Spatial Overlap Between People and Non-human Primates in a Fragmented Landscape
Temporal Trends in Geographic and Sociodemographic Disparities in Colorectal Cancer Among Medicare Patients, 1973‐2010
PURPOSE: Colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality in the United States have steadily declined since the 1980s, but racial and socioeconomic disparities remain. The influence of geographic factors is poorly understood and may be affected by evolving insurance coverage and screening test uptake. We characterized temporal trends in the association between geographic and sociodemographic factors and CRC outcomes. METHODS: We used the 1973-2010…

Uncovering zoonoses awareness in an emerging disease ‘hotspot
Freedom's Pragmatist
From 32 Ounces to Zero
The medicinal use of cannabis is a growing phenomenon in the U.S. predicated on the success of overcoming specific spatial challenges and establishing particular human-environment relationships. This article takes a medical geographic "snapshot" of an urban site in Washington State where qualifying chronically ill and debilitated patients are delivered locally produced botanical cannabis for medical use. Using interview, survey, and observation, …

Geographical Clues About Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive neurological disease of unknown cause. Investigators are attempting to discover its cause through laboratory investigation and through population-based epidemiologic analysis. Much of the most intriguing evidence comes from an analysis of the geography of MS. Its incidence, prevalence, and mortality rates are lowest at the equator and increase regularly with latitude. Moreover, people who migrate from high…

Disease ecology and causation
Response Time and Its Significance in Medical Emergencies
HT HE Emergency Medical Systems Service Act (EMSS Act) of 1973 was passed by Congress to promote systematic planning and evaluation of regional emergency systems. The Act represented an attempt to coordinate a number of components in prehospital emergency cases, such as transportation, personnel, and facilities. One of the provisions of the EMSS Act is that 95 percent of all ambulance response times must be within twenty minutes in rural areas an…

Emergency Medical Service
A major concern in emergency medical services (EMS) planning has been the need to minimize ambulance response time, only one of several delays in reaching definitive care. Other important delays include patient delay in seeking medical care and dispatch delay. In this study, the importance of response time in light of other delays is discussed, and response time as one determinant of patient survival is analyzed, using Seattle's EMS system as a c…

Geographical patterns of cardiac arrests
A method for the geographical evaluation of emergency medical service performance
Emergency Medical Service (EMS) evaluation is usually conducted on an aggregated, system-wide basis, despite the fact that there is substantial geographical variation in EMS performance. This paper suggests a method for the identification and analysis of geographically disaggregated EMS performance, using Seattle's Medic I program as an example
