  • Estimating the future global dose demand for measles–rubella microarray patches

    Open AccessMelissa Ko, Stefano Malvolti et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Background: Progress toward measles and rubella (MR) elimination has stagnated as countries are unable to reach the required 95% vaccine coverage. Microarray patches (MAPs) are anticipated to offer significant programmatic advantages to needle and syringe (N/S) presentation and increase MR vaccination coverage. A demand forecast analysis of the programmatic doses required (PDR) could accelerate MR-MAP development by informing the size and return …

  • Accelerating the Development of Measles and Rubella Microarray Patches to Eliminate Measles and Rubella

    Open AccessMateusz Hasso-Agopsowicz, Natasha S Crowcroft et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Measles and rubella microarray patches (MR-MAPs) are critical in achieving measles and rubella eradication, a goal highly unlikely to meet with current vaccines presentations. With low commercial incentive to MAP developers, limited and uncertain funding, the need for investment in a novel manufacturing facility, and remaining questions about the source of antigen, product demand, and regulatory pathway, MR-MAPs are unlikely to be prequalified by…

  • Aligning new interventions with developing country health systems

    Open AccessAlan D Brooks, Julia K Nunes et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2012

    Many new interventions are being created to address health problems of the developing world. However, many developing countries have fragile health systems and find it difficult to accommodate change. Consequently, it is essential that new interventions are well aligned with health systems and their users. Establishing target product profiles (TPPs) is a critical, early step towards tailoring interventions to suit both of these constituencies. Sp…

  • New vaccine adoption

    Open AccessH E D Burchett, Helen Burchett et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2012Citada por: 5Referencias: 23

    As more new and improved vaccines become available, decisions on which to adopt into routine programmes become more frequent and complex. This qualitative study aimed to explore processes of national decision-making around new vaccine adoption and to understand the factors affecting these decisions. Ninety-five key informant interviews were conducted in seven low- and middle-income countries: Bangladesh, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Kenya, Mali…

  • Estrategias para reducir a un mínimo la transmisión nosocomial del sarampión

    Open AccessRobin Biellik, R J Biellik et al.ARTICLERevista Panamericana de Salud…1998

    Because of the highly contagious nature of measles before the onset of rash, nosocomial transmission will remain a threat until the disease is eradicated. However, a number of strategies can minimize its nosocomial spread. It is therefore vital to maximize awareness among health care staff that an individual with measles can enter a health facility at any time and that a continual risk of the nosocomial transmission of measles exists. The present…

  • A new epidemiologic and laboratory classification system for paralytic poliomyelitis cases

    Roland W Sutter, Edward W Brink et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1989Referencias: 12

    An epidemiologic classification of paralytic poliomyelitis cases (ECPPC) has been in use in the United States since 1976. In 1985, this classification system was reviewed because of recent changes in the epidemiology of paralytic poliomyelitis and improved laboratory capability to definitively characterize poliovirus strains. An alternative classification system was devised, the epidemiologic and laboratory classification of paralytic polio cases…

  • Sensitivity and specificity of clinical case definitions for pertussis

    P A Patriarca, P Patriarca et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1988Referencias: 8

    We evaluated the diagnostic performance of 15 clinical case definitions for pertussis in 233 patients who developed acute respiratory illness during community outbreaks in Wisconsin and Delaware. Using results from culture (Regan-Lowe media) and serology (Ig-class-specific ELISA) as diagnostic standards, cough for greater than or equal to 14 days was both sensitive (84 per cent-92 per cent) and specific (63 percent-90 per cent) in identifying pat…

  • Mortality, nutritional status and dietary conditions in a food deficit region

    Robin J Biellik, Robin Biellik et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1981

    Although the effects of food deficits are not currently severe, it is vital to monitor the continuing drought and civil chaos in the event the situation in Teso District deteriorates seriously during 1981. Areas adjacent to famine‐stricken Karamoja District in Uganda including Teso District were identified by the UN as suffering the effects of drought and civil disruption. In December, 1980, a study of mortality, nutritional status and dietary co…
