Public health approaches to preventing disease, disability, and death led to remarkable advances in life expectancy and quality of life during the 19th and 20th centuries. Control of infectious diseases through improved sanitation, vector control, immunization, contact tracing, isolation and quarantine, improved diagnostic testing, judicious use of antimicrobial drugs, and improved outbreak res...

Knowing the type of infections in different geographical regions may help to prevent the distribution of diseases. Vaccines, repellents, mosquito nets and clothes are recommended for preventing the increase of infectious diseases. There are different types of climate and geographical items around the world which determine the kind of skin infections. Travelers' skin diseases are recognized as s...

Background: Getting access to information about expansion and spread of skin diseases and determination of common types of them in any specific area has particular importance. There is no doubt that cultural, social and genetic factors by an important role in the epidemiology of skin diseases. Objective: To determine the frequency of various skin diseases in patients referred to Sadooghi hospit...

The Poverty-Related Diseases College was a virtual African-European college and network that connected young African and European biomedical scientists working on poverty-related diseases. The aim of the Poverty-Related Diseases College was to build sustainable scientific capacity and international networks in poverty-related biomedical research in the context of the development of Africa. The ...

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a diverse group of 20 communicable that prevail in 149 and subtropical countries(Table 1). They identified as “neglected” because they persist predominantly the poorest most marginalized populations living without adequate sanitation close contact with infectious vectors domestic animals livestock.

BACKGROUND The cytologic accuracy in assessing malignancy in papillary breast neoplasms (PBNs) is controversial. This is further complicated by overlapping features observed in other breast lesions that produce papillary-like tissue fragments. METHODS The authors reviewed 22 fine-needle aspirates (FNAs) from histologically proven papillary neoplasms: papillary carcinoma (PCA; 10 aspirates) an...

A growing body of documents shows that rising average global temperatures can be one of several causes of disease emergence and reemergence among human and animal populations. In this regard, climate mostly affects diseases caused by pathogens that spend part of their lifecycle outside of the host, exposed to the environment like water-borne diseases, food-borne pathogens, and vector-borne zoon...

Anthropogenic land use changes drive a range of infectious disease outbreaks and emergence events and modify the transmission of endemic infections. These drivers include agricultural encroachment, deforestation, road construction, dam building, irrigation, wetland modification, mining, the concentration or expansion of urban environments, coastal zone degradation, and other activities. These c...
