  1. 1. Bacterial meningitis in children : clinical aspects and preventive effects of vaccinations

    Författare :Urban Johansson Kostenniemi; Sven-Arne Silfverdal; Christer Mehle; Hans Fredlund; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bacterial meningitis; children; vaccination; clinical presentation; decision support techniques; disease management; risk assessment; disabilities; neurodevelopmental disorders; psychiatric disease; pediatrik; Pediatrics; Infectious Diseases; infektionssjukdomar;

    Sammanfattning : Bacterial meningitis, one of the most severe infections a child can contract, can be caused by several different strains of bacteria. Most commonly, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Travel – a risk factor for disease and spread of antibiotic resistance

    Författare :Martin Angelin; Helena Palmgren; Birgitta Evengård; Anders Johansson; Anu Kantele; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Accident Prevention; Alcohol Drinking; Anti-Bacterial Agents; Antimalarials; Beta-Lactamases; Drug-Resistance; Bacterial; Enterobacteriaceae; Health Knowledge; Attitudes; Practice; High-Throughput Nucleotide Sequencing; Medication Adherence; Metagenome; Metagenomics; Patient Compliance; Proteobacteria; Risk Reduction Behaviour; Risk-Taking; Safe Sex; Travel medicine; Travel; Vaccination; Infectious Diseases; infektionssjukdomar; mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Sammanfattning : As international travel is rapidly increasing, more people are being exposed to potentially more antibiotic resistant bacteria, a changed infectious disease epidemiology, and an increased risk of accidents and crime. Research-based advice is needed to adequately inform travellers about these risks. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Transmission of Infectious Bioaerosols : Sources, transport and prevention strategies for airborne viruses and bacteria

    Författare :Malin Alsved; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bioaerosol; infectious disease; Norovirus; Airborne bacteria; aerosols;

    Sammanfattning : Infectious diseases that can be transmitted via air often spread rapidly, sometimes causing large epidemic and pandemic outbreaks. As an increasing number of people live in crowded urban environments, and with frequent and long-distance traveling across the world, infectious diseases can spread even faster. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Respiratory Tract Infections: Aspects of Aetiology, Virulence, and Communicable Disease Control

    Författare :Jonas Ahl; Enheten för infektionssjukdomar; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Streptococcus pneumoniae; day care center; communicable disease control intervention; eradication therapy; invasive pneumococcal disease; serotype 3; aetiology; ventilator-associated pneumonia;

    Sammanfattning : The paediatric nasopharyngeal flora is regarded as the largest reservoir for Streptococcus pneumoniae, and the carrier state is always antecedent to infection and a prerequisite for dispersion of these bacteria. Pneumococci are the predominant aetiology of bacterial respiratory tract infections and a major cause of morbidity and mortality, in the most severe cases due to invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD; mainly sepsis and meningitis).

  7. 5. Stochastic dynamic modelling and statistical analysis of infectious disease spread and cancer treatment

    Författare :Theresa Stocks; Tom Britton; Michael Höhle; Daniela De Angelis; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematical modelling; infectious disease spread; cancer treatment; statistical inference; population dynamics; birth-death process; partially observed Markov process; Mathematical Statistics; matematisk statistik;

    Sammanfattning : Mathematical models have proven valuable for public health decision makers as they can provide insights into the understanding, control and, ultimately, the prevention of diseases. This thesis contains four manuscripts dealing with stochastic dynamic modelling and statistical analysis of infectious disease spread and optimization of cancer treatment. LÄS MER
