The paper introduces a video surveillance and event detection framework and application for semi-supervised surveillance use. The system development follows the guidelines of national strategy for surveillance systems. The aim is to generalize the interoperability, compatibility and legality in camera surveillance systems in Hungary. The system’s intended use is in automatic mode on camera feed...

BACKGROUND The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention monitors vibriosis through 2 surveillance systems: the nationwide Cholera and Other Vibrio Illness Surveillance (COVIS) system and the 10-state Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet). COVIS conducts passive surveillance and FoodNet conducts active surveillance for laboratory-confirmed Vibrio infections. METHODS We sum...

OBJECTIVES To characterise the nature, content, and performance characteristics of existing national STI surveillance systems in the European Union (EU) and Norway, to facilitate collection of comparable surveillance data. METHODS Cross sectional survey using a structured questionnaire. RESULTS Case reporting from clinicians and/or laboratories is the mainstay of EU surveillance systems for...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested that informatics tools, such as automated alert and decision support systems, may increase the efficiency and quality of infection control surveillance. However, little is known about the cost-effectiveness of these tools. METHODS We focus on 2 types of economic analyses that have utility in assessing infection control interventions (cost-effectivene...

BACKGROUND In patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). inappropriate shocks have been reported with exposure to electronic article surveillance systems. The risk to patients with ICDs of walking through or lingering near surveillance systems requires further investigation. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated the response in ICD function in 170 subjects during a 10- to 15-sec...

conclusions addressing and removing explainable patterns of syndromic data on meningitis is necessary to timely and accurately detection of meningitis epidemics. it was concluded that decomposition methods had better performance compared to the model based ones. background meningitis is one of the most disturbing infectious diseases due to mortality, morbidity and its ability to cause epidemic....

lobesia botrana (denis & schiffermüller) (lepidoptera: tortricidae), is an important vineyard-pest in the european and mediterranean areas and it was recently described in argentina and chile. since knowledge on the l. botrana phenology on argentina is still limited, the objective of this study was to develop a phenological model to predict voltinism of l. botrana in argentina through a reg...

Integration of multiple surveillance systems advances early warning and supports better decision making during infectious disease events. Taiwan has a comprehensive network of laboratory, epidemiologic, and early warning surveillance systems with nationwide representation. Hospitals and clinical laboratories have deployed automatic reporting mechanisms since 2014 and have effectively improved t...
