Distribution and spatial density of viral hepatitis cases in Brazil due to occupational accidents.

IntroductionViral hepatitis, an infectious disease endemic to Brazil, can be transmitted by occupational accident.ObjectivesTo analyze the distribution and spatial density of viral hepatitis due to occupational accidents in Brazil from 2007 to 2014.MethodsThis ecological study of multiple groups used data from the Brazilian Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (Disease Information Notification System). Spatial analysis of cluster detection and point density was performed using kernel techniques and estimates.ResultsThe recorded cases were concentrated in the southeastern (40.6%) and southern regions (28.1%), and a small increase occurred between 2011 and 2014 (53.9%). The etiological classification was predominantly hepatitis C virus (45.3%) and B virus (45.1%).ConclusionsReports of viral hepatitis due to occupational accidents have increased in Brazil in recent years, with a higher density in the southeastern and southern regions, especially viruses B and C. Thus, occupational health surveillance must be intensified, including vaccination cards for worker admission to the public or private companies.

Snakebites in the Mato Grosso state, Brazil: from 2007 to 2019

Snakebites are considered a serious public health problem due to its incidence and severity; in 2017 it was considered a neglected tropical disease. Mato Grosso state have a large territorial extension, composed by a tropical forest and semi-humid climate, and this could contributed for accidents with snakes, principally in rural areas. Regarding the state, epidemiological studies of accidents with snakes are scarce, so the present study aimed to evaluate the clinical-epidemiological aspects of snakebites in Mato Grosso state from 2007 to 2019. It was a retrospective descriptive study with data obtained from the Health Information Notification System (SINAN). In the analyzed period, there were 13,754 cases of snakebites, 90.77% were caused by Bothrops genus. The profile of individuals were male with age from 20 to 59 years old. The time that had elapsed between the accident and care being administered in 66.19% of the cases was up to 3 hours, the cases were considered mild or moderated (86.76%) with 89.25% evolution to cure. The incidence rate varied from 41.2 (in 2010) to 25.4 (in 2018) cases per 100,000 inhabitants with a central tendency to reduction of the cases over the years, and according to the macro-regions were observed higher incidences in East. Future investigations are necessary to explain the variation of incidence according to the macro-regions of Mato Grosso state.

E-announcement as an early warning notification using smartphone devices in a college

Through this article, we would like to propose the method of urgent information notification or an early warning about the dangers that occur in the college environment by utilizing smartphone devices. Early warning notification media currently still has many shortcomings, a little passive, not directly to the parties who need the information. The media we mean is like a notice board or website portal owned by a college. In other words, the given early warning information may be targeted or otherwise. Therefore, here we try to provide a solution to this problem, which is by utilizing smartphone device to convey information of early warning that is happening or will occur in a campus environment. This information notification system or the early warning system is called e-Announcement.

위치 정보기반의 지역 축제 콘텐츠 활성화를 위한 모바일 커머스 및 정보 알림 시스템에 관한 연구

Recently, it is being held festival according to regional and seasonally cultural feature in nationwide. Especially, local festivals are being provided festival information services a variety of forms for tourists depending on development of information device. However, systems to provide notification information of local festivals are not persistent but mostly short term service. In this paper, we propose a mobile commerce and information notification system through festival information alerts and festival surrounding information using local based on service. In addition, we implement a festival information notification system that applies to beacon based on bluetooth in order to inform them on diverse festival. Finally, we take into account in terms of design of system using object-oriented design modeling to improve reusability of proposed system.

Evaluation of safety benefits of automatic crash information notification systems on freeways

The automatic crash information notification system (ACINS) is an effective technology to enhance the potential for saving crash victims by reducing the crash response time (CRT) of emergency medical services. Shorter CRT results in a greater potential to save the lives and to alleviate the severity of injuries for crash victims. To fully operate the ACINS, reliable assessments of the safety benefits would be needed for justifying public investment. This study proposed a methodology for quantifying the effectiveness of the ACINS and applied the methodology to the Korean freeway system. The proposed methodology consists of three steps. The first step is to develop a statistical model for predicting injury severity of crash victims using ordered logistic regression. The second step is to estimate the amount of reduced CRT by applying ACINS. The effectiveness of the ACINS, which are defined as the number of reduced fatalities and severe injuries, were evaluated with the consideration of the market penetration rate (MPR) in third step. It has been found that approximately 9.4–15.4% of fatalities can be reduced with 100% MPR when the proposed methodology is applied to 2011 freeway crash data. The outcomes of this study support decision making for public investments and for establishing relevant traffic safety policies.

Quantitative Pharmacovigilance Modeling for TCM Injections Adverse Event Reporting

For a long time, traditional Chinese medicine in clinical practice has been considered to be safe, low toxicity of drugs. In recent decades, with the listing of the many independently developed traditional Chinese medicine injections, compared traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine injections has accurate dose, quick, and other advantages, increasingly widespread clinical application. But in recent years to adverse reactions happened frequently, especially traditional Chinese medicine injection adverse events happened at Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province, Datong County, Qinghai Province, Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province in 2008 and 2009.Pharmacovigilance issues of traditional Chinese medicine injection became increasingly serious. Adverse information notification system as established by the State Food and Drug Administration in 2001, making the last decade, the adverse reaction reporting database can be formed. This article is based on the database, because the foreign series of pharmacovigilance data method, preliminary mining of TCM injections pharmacovigilance signal. Adverse reaction database is broadly divided into epidemiological databases and adverse reactions spontaneous reporting database. Principle, different databases need different pharmacovigilance data mining method, the State Food and Drug Administration’s adverse reaction databases are spontaneous reporting database. The existing signal mining methods are based on the fourfold table; make use of the relative proportions of imbalance in principle to explore the warning signs of adverse reactions. Relative proportions of imbalance also have different angles to measure. This article summarizes the nine existing research point of view, and aims to propose the specific range of these methods, comparative nine kinds of methods of statistical theory and calculation process. As for the method of choice in the practice of pharmacovigilance, this article does not involve.

A public information and notification system for emergency mitigation

The West German Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the US Federal Communication Commission have become increasingly concerned about the ability to notify the public in a timely manner in the event of a nuclear or chemical accident. FEMA Draft Guidance Memorandum AN-1 proposes a 15-minute public notification requirement. A comprehensive public information notification system (PINS) is outlined that can meet all of the new requirements of AN-1 and Title 3 for chemical accidents. It is suggested as an alternative to the Emergency Broadcast System. The PINS technology is a refinement and enhancement of the ARI, Automatic Radio Information, technology that was developed by Blaupunkt in the early 1970's.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
