Determinants of Taiwan’s Early Containment of Covid-19 Incidence
SP4-15 Building research capacity in developing countries-cost effectiveness of an epidemiology course taught by traditional and video-teleconferencing methods in Pakistan
Building research capacity in developing countries using cost-effective methods has been recognised as an important pillar for the production of a sound evidence base for decision-making in policy and practice. We assessed the effectiveness of a research training course using traditional as well as video-teleconference method in Pakistan. A 9-day epidemiology research training course was offered to physicians in Pakistan (92%) and Bangladeshis (8…
O4-5.2 Teaching about chronic diseases in Mexico through the Latin American Supercourse
The Global Health Network Supercourse project was launched in late 1990's with the main objective to empower public health teachers around the world by providing to them with up to date scientific PowerPoint lectures. Parent Supercourse has over 50 000 faculty members from 174 countries and a library of over 4700 lectures. In order to reach out to faculty members in Spanish speaking countries, Latin American Supercourse has been launched, featuri…
O4-5.1 Telepreventive medicine as the future of epidemiology and disease prevention
The problem of chronic disease around the world can be improved only through the means of prevention. Effective prevention of chronic disease cannot be achieved without what we call “Telepreventive Medicine.” The fundamental underlying concept is that information about disease prevention should be distributed using inexpensive Internet pathways. The birth of the discipline started a few years ago and has been recognised in the The British Medical…
O4-5.4 Mobile global health Supercourse in the FSU
Former Soviet Union (FSU) Supercourse was created in the framework of the Supercourse project— http://www.pitt.edu/∼super1 . As of 2011, 15 FSU countries are heterogeneous in socioeconomic status, but still have very similar systems of public health, clinical medicine, and information technologies. Most of countries are not demonstrating a rapid increase in life expectancy and need improvements in health status. Education and information sharing …
O4-5.3 Epidemiology and the prevention of cancer by tackling the obesity epidemic
Cancer is becoming the number one cause of death around the world. While significant advanced have been made in the management of several cancers, prevention is still the best way to relieve the burden of this deadly disease. Obesity epidemic observed in both developing and developed world may potentially fuel cancer epidemic. Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of endometrial cancer. An improved understanding of biologic mechanism…
Perforating eye injury in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania
From 1980 through 1986, acute perforating eye injury (ICD codes 871.0-871.9) was diagnosed in 345 residents of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The mean incidence rate was 3.49 per 100,000 person years. There was no significant change in incidence over the seven-year period. The largest number of injuries occurred among individuals working with tools, of which 47 percent were occupational. Males had a 6.5-fold risk of injury relative to females. B…
