Infectious Diseases Impact on Biomedical Devices and Materials

Photonic Materials and Devices

Our recent advances in solid-state optoelectronic materials and devices will be reviewed. In the area of glass optics, fabrication of novel microstructured and multi-core fibers and their use in realizing single mode lasers will be summarized. In organic and plastic optics, photorefractive polymers for 3D display applications and nonlinear optical polymers for high speed modulators in RF photon...

Impact of Routine Infectious Diseases

To the Editor—Jenkins et al. [1] analyzed the role of routine infectious diseases consultation on Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. The study did not show, however, a statistical difference in terms of treatment failure (such as bacteremia recurrence or death) between the group of patients who received routine infectious diseases consultation and the group of patients who did not receive it. Wi...

Biomedical Importance of Host Genetic Factors in Infectious Diseases

The Impact of Management on Infectious Diseases in Broilers

Check out – Auburn University on the Web at http://www.poultryhouse.com Infectious disease is one of a number of factors that can affect performance in broiler flocks. Modern industry practices such as stringent hatchery sanitation programs, widespread vaccinations, use of feed additives and bio-security precautions have evolved to provide in most cases an effective shield against serious losse...
