From June 2009 through December 2009, Haiti conducted sentinel surveillance for influenza. 499 samples were collected and tested using real-time RT-PCR. 197 (39.5%) were positive for influenza, including 95 (48%) pandemic (H1N1) 2009, 57 (29%) seasonal influenza A and 45 (23%) influenza B. The median age of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 cases was 21.7; two-thirds of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 cases were in pa...

OBJECTIVE To compare HIV prevalence from antenatal surveillance to that of the demographic and health survey (DHS), and to identify factors determining the difference of HIV prevalence between women recruited in these two surveys in Rwanda in 2005. METHODS Comparative cross-sectional study of HIV prevalence and socio-demographic factors collected by the antenatal survey in 13,745 pregnant wom...

INTRODUCTION Routine collection, analysis, and reporting of data on child height, weight, and body mass index (BMI), particularly at the state and local levels, are needed to monitor the childhood obesity epidemic, plan intervention strategies, and evaluate the impact of interventions. Child BMI surveillance systems operated by the US government do not provide state or local data on children ac...

Laboratories participated in two tasks at TRECVID 2011: a surveillance event detection task and a semantic indexing task. Surveillance event detection is the act of detecting specific human actions from surveillance videos of crowded areas such as airports. This year, we targeted " Pointing, " " CellToEar, " " ObjectPut, " and " Embrace " actions, which our proposed system identified by using t...

Human body tracking is useful in applications like medical diagnostic, human computer interface, visual surveillance etc. In this paper, a trajectory-learning algorithm using wavenet is proposed to track human body in real time without sacrificing accuracy. Human body is located within a small searching window using color and shape as heuristic. The location and size of the searching window are...

Potentially harmful pathogens can gain access to tissues and organ systems through body sites that are in direct contact with the outside environment, such as the skin, the gut, and the airway mucosa. Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) represent a bridge between the innate and adaptive immunity, and their capacity for constant immune surveillance and rapid sampling of incoming pathogens and other ...
