Abstract:
Epidemiology is both a science and a fundamental method of public health. This is the science that seeks to link health or disease to various factors affecting the health of human populations. Although epidemiology as a discipline develops after World War II, epidemiological thinking can be traced by Hippocrates through John Graunt, William Farr, John Snow to the present day. Epidemiology's roots are nearly 2500 years old. Hippocrates attempted to explain disease occurrence from a rational rather than a supernatural viewpoint. In his essay entitled “On Airs, Waters, and Places,” Hippocrates suggested that environmental and host factors such as behaviours might influence the development of disease.Another early contributor to epidemiology was John Graunt, a London haberdasher and councilman who published a landmark analysis of mortality data in 1662. This publication was the first to quantify patterns of birth, death, and disease occurrence, noting disparities between males and females, high infant mortality, urban/rural differences, and seasonal variations. In the mid-1800s, an anaesthesiologist John Snow was conducting a series of investigations in London that warrant his being considered the “father of field epidemiology.” Twenty years before the development of the microscope, Snow conducted studies of cholera outbreaks both to discover the cause of disease and to prevent its recurrence.Epidemiology is a philosophy and methodology that can be applied to study and solve a very wide range of health problems. The Art of Epidemiology consists of not only to use different study designs and statistical methods, but when and how to apply the various epidemiological strategies most effectively to respond to specific health issues axes and get the information we need. It is a key element in the formulation of effective public health initiatives to prevent disease and promote community health. Epidemiology studies the factors affecting health and disease of the population and thus serves as a basis for a logical approach to protecting and strengthening public health. The scope of epidemiology has been steadily expanding over recent decades as epidemiologists demonstrate new applications and variations traditional design and training methods. We can expect that the scope of epidemiology will be further expanded in the future as more and more epidemiologists develop innovative strategies and techniques.

Abstract:
This thesis presents the projects and activities I have undertaken throughout 2016-2017 to fulfil the requirements of the Master of Philosophy - Applied Epidemiology (MAE). My placement was shared between OzFoodNet Victoria (within the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services) and the Microbiological Diagnostic Unit Public Health Laboratory (MDU). This shared placement provided me with the unique opportunity to experience the different day-to-day workings of a state health department and a public health reference laboratory, while also experiencing the multitude of ways in which these two organisations work together to protect the health of the Victorian public. In my placement at MDU I completed an evaluation of the Victorian Hospital Pathogens Surveillance Scheme (VHPSS). This scheme has been running since 1988 and collects information on invasive bacterial and fungal infections and their antimicrobial sensitivities in the Victorian population. My evaluation highlighted the value of the VHPSS in collecting information on pathogens not captured by any other surveillance system in Victoria, and made a number of recommendations to improve the function and focus of the scheme, especially in the context of increasing concerns surrounding antimicrobial resistance nationally and globally. In my placement with OzFoodNet Victoria I was involved in the investigation of multiple clusters and outbreaks of enteric disease. In particular, I coordinated the investigation of an outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium at a Melbourne café which was linked to the consumption of hollandaise sauce. This outbreak highlighted the dangers of improper food handling in preparing and storing partially-cooked egg products, and the limited knowledge many people have about the risks of consuming these foods. Following another Salmonella outbreak, I conducted an epidemiological study on the proportion of outbreak cases who developed symptoms of transient or chronic sequelae following their infection. In particular, this study collected information on symptoms of post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome (PI-IBS) and reactive arthritis (ReA). This study found that in the six months following their Salmonella infection, 18% of study participants experienced new gastrointestinal symptoms consistent with PI-IBS, and 11% of participants experienced new joint symptoms consistent with ReA. Many of these participants were still experiencing these symptoms a year after their Salmonella infection, indicating the development of chronic disease. I also conducted analyses on data from the Victorian Food Frequency Survey. This survey collected information on the consumption of approximately 250 food items in 4008 well Victorian people, so that their food consumption frequencies could be compared to information from Salmonella case interviews (and interviews for cases of other enteric pathogens such as Campylobacter and Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli) to assist in generating hypotheses to try and identify sources of infection. I translated this data into an accessible format for use in outbreak investigations, and examined the demographic consumption patterns of various high-risk food items to determine who might be most at risk of infection. These projects, alongside the teaching activities and scientific communications presented in this thesis, fulfil the requirements of the MAE program and will contribute to the public health of Victorians.

Abstract:
Genetic epidemiology is the study of the joint action of genes and environmental factors in determining the phenotypes of diseases. The twin study is a classic and important epidemiological tool, which can help to separate the underlying effects of genes and environment on phenotypes. Twin data have been widely examined using traditional methods to genetic epidemiological research. However, they provide a rich sources information related to many complex phenotypes that has the potential to be further explored and exploited. This thesis focuses on two major genetic epidemiological approaches: familial aggregation analysis and linkage analysis, using twin data from TwinsUK Registry. Structural equation modelling (SEM) is a conventional method used in familial aggregation analysis, and is applied in this research to discover the underlying genetic and environmental influences on two complex phenotypes: coping strategies and osteoarthritis. However, SEM is a confirmatory method and relies on prior biomedical hypotheses. A new exploratory method, named MDS-C, combining multidimensional scaling and clustering method is developed in this thesis. It does not rely on using prior hypothetical models and is applied to uncover underlying genetic determinants of bone mineral density (BMD). The results suggest that the genetic influence on BMD is site-specific. Haseman-Elston (H-E) regression is a conventional linkage analysis approach using the identity by descent (IBD) information between twins to detect quantitative trait loci (QTLs) which regulate the quantitative phenotype. However, it only considers the genetic effect from individual loci. Two new approaches including a pair-wise H-E regression (PWH-E) and a feature screening approach (FSA) are proposed in this research to detect QTLs allowing gene-gene interaction. Simulation studies demonstrate that PWH-E and FSA have greater power to detect QTLs with interactions. Application to real-world BMD data results in identifying a set of potential QTLs, including 7 chromosomal loci consistent with previous genome-wide studies.

Abstract:
A selective blood agar (SBA) and a selective blood enrichment broth (SBEB) containing polymyxin (5,000 iu/l), trimethoprim (10 mg/i), rifampicin (10 mg/l) and cyclohexamide (100 mg/l) have been developed. Results from a comparison with four other media showed that the SBA gave the most isolations and was the most selective. Enrichment culture using SBEB achieved additional isolations. The SBEB was used in a most probable number (MPN) method which detects as few as 10 campylobatters/tOO ml of water. A glass microfibre filtration system was even more sensitive. A blood-free non-selective agar (BFNSA) containing charcoal (0.4%), ferrous sulphate (0.025%) and sodium pyruvate (0.025%) was also developed. These supplements were shown to detoxify rather than enrich the basal medium. A blood-free selective agar (BFSA) was produced by incorporating cephazolin (10 mg/i) and sodium deoxycholate (0.1%). This medium and the SBA gave similar isolation rates from faecal specimens when incubated at 42 0C for 42h but the BFSA was less selective. A blood-free selective enrichment broth (BFSEB) containing sodium metabisulphite (0.05%) gave slightly fewer Campylobacter isolations than the SEES when evaluated with various types of specimens and was also less selective. Maximum isolation rates were achieved by incubating broths at 42 0C and subculturing after 24h and 42h. Growth studies of three Campylobacter strains in four enrichment brothc incubated at 37 0C and 420C produced different growth curves. However, the mean generation time (approx 90 mins) was fairly constant. Studies on the gaseous requirements of campylobacters showed that atmospheres. containing S - 10% 02 and 1 - 10% CO2 facilitate growth. Satisfactory microaerobic conditions were produced by the evacuation-replacement technique and gas generating envelopes but not by candle jars. A biotyping scheme has been developed which differentiates Campylobacter spp. and is useful for epidemiological purposes. Environmental surveys have shown: i) that animal carcasses and equipment in abattoirs were frequently contaminated with campylobacters whilst similar samples from butchers' shops were free from campylobacters; ii) that frozen chickens were the main source of campylobacters in a hospital kitchen and that environmental contamination was uncommon; and iii) river water frequently contains Campylobacter spp., serotypes and biotypes associated with human infection and sewage effluent discharge is an important source of these organisms.

Abstract:
In this thesis, I present work conducted as a Master of Philosophy (Applied Epidemiology) (MAE) Scholar based at the OzFoodNet sentinel site at Hunter New England Population Health. During my placement, I was involved in a number of public health investigations both locally and in the Western Pacific region. The MAE core competency requirements and the epidemiological skills that I developed through my field placement are demonstrated in the following chapters. I was fortunate to be at the coalface of public health in my placement at the Local Health District and was able to be involved in a number of outbreak investigations. I led an investigation of an outbreak of Campylobacter in a rural community in New South Wales. This investigation included a retrospective cohort study with the aim of characterising cases and identifying the source of infection to prevent further illness. Data were collected on food and animal exposures prior to the first onset of illness in the community. We found no statistically significant food exposures, however this was complicated by near universal exposure to some food items. A review of cooking processes identified undercooked chicken as the likely source of infection in this outbreak. I was also involved in local outbreaks of gastroenteritis associated with a primary school and a Salmonella Typhimurium outbreak associated with a restaurant. In addition, I was involved in an investigation of paediatric severe acute respiratory infections requiring admission to intensive care units as a part of a World Health Organization deployment to Fiji in May 2016. I conducted an epidemiological project examining environmental risk factors for human infection with Salmonella serovar Wangata in north east New South Wales. I designed and administered a case-control study in three Local Health Districts. Data on environmental exposures were collected for cases and two separate control groups: cases of Salmonella Typhimurium and community controls from the neighbourhood of cases. This project included a large data analysis component, with separate multivariable logistic regression models developed to analyse environmental exposures in each control group. Whole genome sequencing was used to examine the relatedness between human isolates and environmental specimens collected as a part of this project. During my deployment to Fiji in May 2016, I was involved in the surveillance of infectious diseases following Tropical Cyclone Winston. I co-evaluated the Early Warning Alert and Response System (EWARS in a Box) with fellow MAE Scholar, Meru Sheel. Nine syndromes were reported to the EWARS system from 34 sentinel sites in Fiji. The web based EWARS system utilised smartphone reporting and was considered simple, acceptable and generally useful for users. Recommendations were made to improve the layout and interpretation of surveillance reports and to enhance operating procedures and guidelines for surveillance officers. This was the first time the EWARS in a Box system had been implemented in a Pacific Island Country and the experiences of the system in Fiji can be used to assist other countries in the region who are experiencing humanitarian disasters.

Abstract:
In this thesis, I present the projects and activities I have undertaken as a Master of Philosophy in Applied Epidemiology (MAE) Scholar in Victoria between February 2016 and November 2017. I was placed with the Environmental and Genetic Epidemiology Research Group at the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute (MCRI), and the Communicable Disease Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit at the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). At MCRI I worked on the Barwon Infant Study, a birth cohort study designed to investigate how early life environment can influence the development of immune disorders and neurodevelopmental outcomes. At DHHS, I had the opportunity to lead an outbreak investigation, undertake an evaluation of a public health surveillance system, and an epidemiological study. Through these placements I experienced the day-to-day activities of a research institute and a state public health unit. At MCRI I conducted a data analysis on the prevalence of aero-allergen sensitisation in infancy in the Barwon region in Victoria. Sensitisation to aero-allergens in infancy is considered rare and as a result few studies report the prevalence in infants. My data fills this gap in the literature using data from a population-derived cohort study. I reported the findings of this study at the Training Programs in Epidemiology and Public Health Interventions Network Global Scientific Conference, and the Australasian Epidemiological Association Conference in 2017. My surveillance evaluation involved the first stakeholder consultation of the Influenza Complications Alert Network (FluCAN), which was established in 2009 as part of Australia’s response to the A(H1N1/09) pandemic in order to provide sentinel surveillance of influenza requiring hospitalisation. As part of the evaluation I made a number of recommendations to improve the usefulness and operation of the surveillance system many of which have already been implemented. I presented the outcomes of this evaluation to key stakeholders at the annual National Influenza Surveillance Committee in 2017. I conducted an epidemiological study on Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) using 15 years of Victorian data. The primary aims of this project were to describe the epidemiology of STEC in Victoria and to investigate the length of exclusion of cases in ‘high-risk’ groups (including food handlers, child and health care workers, and children attending child care) by diagnostic method. The results of this study will inform Victoria’s policy regarding the exclusion of cases in these ‘high-risk’ groups from workplaces and child care. I also conducted an outbreak investigation, including a case-control study in order to identify the source of an outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium at a Melbourne café. The results of the case-control study indicated that hollandaise sauce was the likely cause of the outbreak and led to public health action. The high proportion of cases hospitalised in this outbreak demonstrates the serious health implications of salmonellosis and the potential consequences of deficient storage and food handling processes for high-risk food products such as hollandaise sauce. In this thesis, I present my experience of the MAE program, and demonstrate my fulfillment of the requirements of the program and the contribution my work has made to public health in Victoria.

Zayed, Reem. "The epidemiology of congenital hypothyroidism in the United Arab Emirates." Thesis, University of Central Lancashire, 2006. http://clok.uclan.ac.uk/20760/.

Full text
Abstract:
The newborn screening for congenital hypothyroidism (CR) started in the West in the sixties. The guidelines for screening were introduced in the majority of western countries some 30 years ago and were adapted in 1997 by the World Health Organization. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) started newborn screening for CH in 1998 and was considered one of the leading countries in the Middle East to apply this programme nationwide. Before newborn screening for CH in the UAE, little was known about the epidemiology of the disease in this part of the world which shares the same epidemiological pattern of the Gulf region and the Middle East This nationwide study investigated the epidemiological pattern of CH in the UAE in terms of assessment of biological and environmental components and their significance in the relatively increased incidence of the disease in this community compared to the worldwide incidence (1:30004000). This study employed radioimmunoassay technique used by the newborn screening programme to measure the capillary Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSR) for all newborns at the week of age. In addition, chemical and radiological techniques were employed to screen for positive cases. Firstly, cases detected have been studied in terms of prevalence of the disease in the UAE in relation to other parts of the world and the definition of the epidemiological components and its association to the prevalence of the disease. The study included the investigation of the genotypic pattern of congenital hypothyroidism in the UAE among certain cases with familial dyshormonogesis phenotype. The results show high incidence of the disease compared to the worldwide incidence and also it showed a specific epidemiological pattern. Secondly, the study employed the data obtained in newborn screening for CH in a longitudinal study of TSR pattern of the population and its use to monitor the iodine uptake of this population. This part of study also studied other important implications of the TSR pattern which included the TSR surge and the prevalence of sub clinical cases in which TSH is the main monitor. Thirdly, the study evaluated the controversial issues in the newborn screening programme in the preanalytic and post-analytic phases of the programme. The role of incorporation of the pre and post analytical quality control of the programme in reduction of the morbidity of the disease. Nevertheless, this study provides an overview for the epidemiological pattern of congenital hypothyroidism in the UAE and forms a basic epidemiologic background for further detailed studies that would focus on the clinical aspect and prognostic outcome of the disease. It may be concluded that the clinical picture of congenital hypothyroidism has changed dramatically since newborn screening was instituted in the UAE. Population-based registers and linked-databases can provide very useful information for evaluating screening programmes, and extending current knowledge of the epidemiology of congenital hypothyroidism. This is the first epidemiological study of CH in the UAE in which data from population-based registries were linked, the epidemiologic patterns and associated factors are more representative. The study delineates the significantly increased incidence of congenital hypothyroidism compared to the universal incidence and the clear correlation of this incidence with certain risk factors. Some of these are local which pertain to this area of the world and end in constituting this specific epidemiological pattern.

Full text
Abstract:

The main objective of this dissertation is to study numerical methods and applications of structured population models. In Chapter 1, a quasilinear hierarchically size-structured population model is presented. In this model the growth, mortality and reproduction rates are assumed to depend on a function of the population density. The solutions to this model can become singular (measure-valued) in finite time even if all the individual parameters are smooth. Therefore, in this chapter we developed a first order finite difference scheme to compute these measure-valued solutions. Convergence analysis for this method was provided. We also developed a high resolution second order scheme to compute the measure-valued solution of the model and performed a comparative study between the two schemes. In Chapter 2, a model that describes the dynamics of a frog population infected with chytridiomycosis disease is presented. Chytridiomycosis is an emerging disease caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochydrium dendrobatidis (Bd) that poses a serious threat to frog populations worldwide. Several studies have shown that inoculation of bacterial species Janthinobacterium lividum (Jl) can mitigate the impact of the disease. However, there are many questions regarding this interaction that are unknown. Therefore, a mathematical model of a frog population infected with chytridiomycosis was developed to investigate how the inoculation of Jl could reduce the impact of Bd on frogs. The model also illustrates the important role of temperature in the diseases epidemiology. The model simulation results suggest possible control strategies for Jl to limit the impact of Bd in various scenarios. Finally, in Chapter 3, concluding remarks and discussion on our future work is provided.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Introduction: Artistic gymnastics is an Olympic sport in which male artistic gymnasts perform on six apparatuses. The number of weekly training sessions can reach to 12, with 36 hours overall load. Methodology: The research was conducted among 15 elite and 16 sub-elite gymnasts on international and national level from Sofia, Bulgaria. The participants filled in a questionnaire about the type, severity, location, and reasons for the appearance of injuries. Results: We calculated injury incidence at 93.33% for elite and 87.50% for sub-elite male artistic gymnasts. The injury rate for elite gymnasts was 2.19/1000 gymnastic exposures and 2.87 injuries per gymnast for the year. The injury rate for sub-elite gymnasts was 3.78/1000 gymnastic exposures and 2.13 injuries per gymnast for the year. The acute injuries dominated in all participants. Shoulder is the most often injured anatomical location as a result of the exercises performed on rings and horizontal bar. Ankle is the next often traumatized location because of the exercises done on floor and vault (landing phase). Conclusions: Literature describing injuries in male artistic gymnasts is scarce, which makes it relatively difficult to compare gender data. Injury rates in the male artistic gymnasts we studied fall within the range described in the sports literature.

Abstract:
Within the project "Pathogenic Streptococcus in Tilapia", gram positive cocci pathogens of fish in Israel and in the United States were characterized. We showed that Streptococcus shiloi, the name for an agent causing septicemic infection in fish, is a junior synonym of Streptococcus iniae and that Enterococcus seriolicida is a junior synonym of Lactococcus garvieae, a causative agent of septicemia and meningo-encephalitis in fish. Molecular epidemiology studies on these two pathogens, based on 16S rDNA sequences and ribotyping showed that although each country had specific clones, S. iniae originated probably from the U.S. and L. garvieae from Japan. PCR assays were developed for both pathogens and applied to clinical samples. S. agalactiael S. difficile was also recognized for the first time in the U.S. in tilapia. Our histopathological studies explained the noted paradox (abundant in vitro growth often accompanied by scant to small numbers of organisms within the meninges in histologic sections of brain) in diagnostic of fish streptococcus. The greatest concentration of cocci were consistently observed within macrophages infiltrating the extrameningeal fibroadipose tissue surrounding the brain within the calvarium. These results also suggests that the primary route of meningeal infection may be extension from the extrameningeal connective tissue rather than meningeal vascular emigration of cocci-containing macrophages. Our work has resulted in a cognizance of streptococcus as fish pathogen which goes beyond the pathology observed in tilapia and is already extended to many aquaculture fish species in Israel and in the United States. Finally, our data suggest that vaccines (bivalent or trivalent) could be developed to prevent most of the damages caused by streptococcus in aquaculture.

Resistance to Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus by Combining Expression of a Natural Tolerance Gene and a Dysfunctional Movement Protein in a Single Cultivar. United States Department of Agriculture, June 2000. http://dx.doi.org/10.32747/2000.7573079.bard.

Abstract:
Background The tomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCV) has been a major deterrent to tomato production in Israel for the last 20 years. This whitefly-transmitted viral disease has been found in the Caribbean Island in the early 1990s, probably as an import from the Middle East. In the late 1990s, the virus has spread to the US and is now conspicuous in Florida and Georgia. Objectives Because of the urgency facing the TYLCV epidemics, there was a compelling need to mobilize scientists to develop tomato variety resistant to TYLCV. The major goal was to identify the virus movement protein (MP) and to express a defective from of MP in a cultivar that contained the natural Ty-1 resistance gene. The research included 1. cloning of the TYLCV isolate from the Dominican Republic (DR) which is (or a close variant) also present in the continental USA; 2. ddefining the role of the MP; 3. mutating the putative MP gene; 4. introducing the modified gene into an advance Ty-1 line; 5. testing the transgenic plants in the field. The pressing threat to tomato production in the US resulted in an extension of the objectives: more emphasis was placed on characterization of TYLCV i the DR, on determination of the epidemiology of the virus in the DR, and on using new TYLCV resistance sources for tomato breeding. Achievements and signification 1. The characterization of TYLCV-DR allowed for more effective TYLCV management strategies that are now implemented in the DR. 2. The identification of the TYLCV MPs and, more importantly, insight into their function has provided a model for how these proteins function in TYLCV movement and support the targeting of one or more of these proteins in a dominant lethal strategy to engineer plants for TYLCV resistance. 3. The transgenic plants that are being generated with wild-type and mutated TYLCV MPs will serve to test the hypothesis that interference with one or more of the TYLCV movement proteins will be a strategy for generating TYLCV-resistant plants. 4. The fine mapping of the resistance Ty-1 gene allowed eliminating deleterious chromosome segments from the wild tomato genitor L. chilense. It may in a near future allow the cloning of the first geminivirus resistance gene. 5. Another resistance source from the wild tomato species L. hirsitum was introgressed into the domesticated tomato, resulting in the production of resistant breeding lines. Implications 1. The monitoring of TYLCV in whiteflies has been applied in the DR. These tools are presently being used to assist in the evaluation of the host-free period and to help select the appropriate locations for growing tomatoes in the DR. 2. An overall strategy to obtain resistance against TYLCV has been used. The expression of wild-type or mutated TYLCV MPs in transgenic tomato is another addition to the arsenal used to fight TYLCV, together with marker assisted breeding and mobilization of additional resistant genes from the wild.
