Mobile Learning Apps
For Special Needs k-12
How can you use it? iTrace is an app that helps kids practice their handwriting. In a classroom, after going over a certain letter with the students or even a couple of letters, they can use this app to practice on their own how to make these letters. They can trace over letters or create their own. The app keeps track of their progress for teachers or parents, also, so that they can see how their child is doing.
Who will this app benefit? iTrace helps with early handwriting skills practice so in the classroom it would be extremely beneficial to students who are struggling and need extra practice time, or students in the class who have fine motor issues. It is perfect for students in the lower grades who are struggling.
How can you use it? Bookshare is an online library of digital books for students with print disabilities.This can be used in the classroom during free reading time, when students who are independent readers read silently on their own. Struggling readers can use this app to help them practice and get better at reading- especially at times when they don't have their teacher beside them to help them through the words they don't understand.
Who will this app benefit? Bookshare will help students print disability, such as blindness or low vision, a learning disability, or a physical disability that makes it difficult for them to read on their own- or even allow students who cannot read on their own to hear the books that they want to read but aren't able to. It is helpful for students in the lower elementary grades who are not able to keep up with the rate of learning of some of their classmates.
How can you use it? Evernote is an app that allows you to make lists, notes, and reflections. It is a tool for students with organizational or focus issues, as it is something that can appeal to different learning styles. In elementary classes it is common to have 'journal times' or 'reflection passages', and in situations like these it is easy for students to get distracted and not get anything written on a regular sheet of paper. It has color-coding, highlighting and a read-aloud options for students to utilize. They can also make use of the list making tool to keep track of the homework or readings they need to take home.
Who will this app benefit? Evernote could really help students in the class struggling with distraction issues, organizational issues, troubles with auditory processing, and anyone with verbal memory problems. It could strongly benefit students in grades one, two and three who are struggling to keep up with journaling, or writing in general and can help them to be more organized and focused during class time.
How can you use it? Notability is a note-taking app, in which students can record, note take, highlight, and organize notes that they need in the classroom. In an upper level elementary or junior high science class, they could use it to take down the notes from the lesson and add images or reminders to help them study, remember and understand the things they write down. With this app, they can draw, record or type their notes.
Who will this app benefit? Notability can help with students who struggle to organize their notes, who need visual cues to remember notes, who have distraction issues, or verbal memory issues. There is also a setting in which they can have their notes read back to them aloud.
Write About This
How can you use it? Write About This is an app that could be used when you want your students to create a story. During Language Arts, have a 'free writing lesson' in which you instruct your students to write a story about any topic of your choice. For example, if it is nearing Mother's Day have them create a story about their mother, or during a fairytale unit have them create a fairytale. They can use this app to write their story- utilizing the read-aloud function and also the prompt function when they are out of ideas or get 'stuck'. Prompts will pop up with a picture to help get their minds going again.
Who will this app benefit? Write About This can help students who have problems staying focused, ADHD, or even students who are at the right level of writing but just need an extra boost sometimes to get going.

As if "Supernatural" fans don't have enough to look forward to during the show's newly extended (to 23 episodes) Season 7, word of two exciting guest stars from the Joss Whedon Buffyverse appearing in an episode together should really get their juices flowing. Read on to see who's heading to the new season's fifth episode, titled "Shut Up, Dr. Phil."
According to TVLine Charisma Carpenter and James Marsters (aka Cordelia and Spike), who previously worked together on both "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and its David Boreanaz-fronted spin-off "Angel", will be playing husband and wife on the spooktacular drama, which launches its new cycle on The CW on Friday, September 23, at 9/8c.
"This episode is 'Bewitched gone wrong,'" reveals showrunner Sera Gamble. "[It was] all upside for this successful man (Marsters) while he was married to the witch (Carpenter), but now that he's pissed her off, the whole town is paying the price."
Carpenter and Marsters will film their "Supernatural" appearance the week of August 22 — after the former swings by New Orleans for a cameo in Haunted High, a just-announced Syfy original movie.

NAPOLEONVILLE — Assumption Parish police jurors Wednesday unanimously accepted an $8 million bid to build a new 30,000-square-foot community center.
Of the five firms bidding for the project, Ruston-based Lincoln Builders, which has offices in Baton Rouge, was awarded the project with a base bid of $8.049 million, according to bid documentation.
Stephen Viguerie, of Thibodaux-based architectural firm Duplantis Design Group, told jurors that the original low bid on the project, which totaled $7.7 million, was denied because of an error on the bidding application form.
"They did not fill out the bid form correctly," Viguerie said during discussion in the jury's Engineering Committee meeting. "We contacted the Attorney General's Office, who recommended that we reject the bid."
The planned all-purpose center would be located along La. 308 next to Assumption Parish High School. It would be used for emergency purposes, parish school events and public and private functions.
Police Jury President Martin Triche said that while he did not oppose accepting the bid, the jury normally tries to accommodate local vendors as much as possible.
To accommodate the increased bid total, Parish Emergency Preparedness Director John Boudreaux offered amendments approved by the jury to the parish's building project budget.
The changes reduce the amount set aside for a parishwide drainage project and moves a planned health unit construction project to an alternate status.
Boudreaux said that while the drainage project total was reduced, recent project estimates have come in lower than expected, allowing for the decrease.
The state's Office of Community Development must now approve the amendments, Boudreaux said.
Other matters considered by the jury included:
BRIDGE DESIGN: The jury voted to authorize the parish engineer to begin the process of designing a replacement for a bridge along Aristille Road, located near Bayou L'Ourse.
Parish Engineer Joseph Savoie said that initial estimates to repair the bridge stand at $75,000, while a brand-new span could cost as much as $300,000.
As part of the motion, the bridge's weight limit was also reduced to 5 tons, and travel over it restricted to one lane until the project is completed.

Lesson 5 Public Health Surveillance
- Donna Mason
- 2 years ago
- Views:
1 Lesson 5 Public Health Surveillance Public health surveillance is the mechanism that public health agencies use to monitor the health of their communities. Its purpose is to provide a factual basis from which agencies can appropriately set priorities, plan programs, and take actions to promote and protect the public s health. Objectives After studying this lesson and answering the questions in the exercises, a student will be able to do the following: Define public health surveillance and its critical components List the main uses of surveillance data Describe sources for data that can be used for public health surveillance Describe the flow of information for reportable diseases in the United States List the attributes used to evaluate surveillance systems List the major considerations in starting a surveillance system 289
2 Page 29 Principles of Epidemiology Introduction to Public Health Surveillance Public health surveillance is the ongoing systematic collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of health data (21). Public health agencies use surveillance data to describe and monitor health events in their jurisdictions, set priorities, and to assist in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health interventions and programs. Surveillance systems are often considered information loops or cycles involving health care providers, public health agencies, and the public, as illustrated in Figure 5.1. The cycle begins when cases of disease occur and are reported by health care providers to the public health agencies. The cycle is not completed until information about these cases is relayed to those responsible for disease prevention and control and others who need to know. Because health care Figure 5.1 Information loop involving health care providers, public health agencies, and the public Public Reports Summaries, Interpretations, Recommendations Health Care Providers Health Agencies Analysis
3 Lesson 5: Public Health Surveillance Page 291 providers, health agencies, and the public all have some responsibility for disease prevention and control, they all should be included among those who receive feedback of surveillance information. Depending on the circumstances, others who need to know may include other government agencies, potentially exposed individuals, employers, vaccine manufacturers, private voluntary organizations, legislators on the health subcommittee, and innumerable others. In the United States, the concept public health surveillance does not include administration of prevention and control programs, but does include an intended link with those programs (11). In other words, the goal of surveillance is not merely to collect data for analysis, but to guide public health policy and action. In fact, surveillance has been defined quite succinctly as information for action (15). Figure 5.2, for example, outlines some of the actions that are based, in part at least, on information from surveillance activities. Figure 5.2 The components of surveillance and resulting public health action Surveillance Collection Analysis Interpretation Dissemination Public Health Action Priority setting Planning, implementing, and evaluating disease investigation control prevention The concept of public health surveillance has evolved over time and is still confused with other uses of the term surveillance. The current concept of surveillance as the monitoring of disease occurrence in populations was promoted by Dr. Alexander D. Langmuir as a function of the newly created Communicable Disease Center (now the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, (CDC)) (1). Before that, surveillance had meant the close observation of persons who had been exposed to a communicable disease in order to detect early symptoms and to institute prompt isolation and control measures. To distinguish between these two surveillance activities, we now use public health surveillance to describe monitoring health events in populations, and use the term medical surveillance to describe monitoring potentially exposed individuals to detect early symptoms. Surveillance systems today take many forms. The oldest and most well-established systems are those that monitor the occurrence of communicable diseases through required reporting by such health care providers as physicians, laboratories, and hospitals. Hospital infection control personnel serve a dual role conducting surveillance in the hospital and reporting cases of notifiable disease to public health authorities. More recently established surveillance systems monitor a broader variety of health conditions, including injuries, birth defects, chronic diseases,
4 Page 292 Principles of Epidemiology and health behaviors. Many of these newer systems rely on secondary data analysis that is, analysis of data collected for other purposes. For example, some of these surveillance systems use vital records, health care utilization records such as hospital discharge data, and various national and local surveys that are conducted for other purposes. Although this chapter focuses on surveillance as an activity of public health agencies, surveillance is conducted in many other settings. For example, surveillance for nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections is an important activity within many hospitals. Surveillance activities are also usually initiated in emergency situations such as refugee camps and areas that have experienced a natural disaster such as a flood or hurricane.
5 Lesson 5: Public Health Surveillance Page 293 Purposes and Uses of Surveillance Ultimately, the purpose for conducting public health surveillance is to learn the ongoing pattern of disease occurrence and the potential for disease in a population so that we can be effective in investigating, controlling, and preventing disease in that population. Historically, public health agencies responded to reports of communicable diseases primarily by applying standard control measures such as quarantine. Now agencies can use surveillance data as the basis for planning more effective disease control and prevention activities. However, we do not limit public health surveillance to diseases for which we have effective control measures. We can justify surveillance for two additional purposes: First, through surveillance we can learn more about the natural history, clinical spectrum, and epidemiology of a disease (who is at risk, when and where it occurs, the exposures or risk factors that are critical to its occurrence). This knowledge may lead to the development of prevention and control measures. Second, surveillance will provide us with a baseline of data which we can use to assess prevention and control measures when they are developed and implemented. We routinely use surveillance data in a variety of ways which are discussed below. Primarily these are related to monitoring disease and providing linkage to prevention and control programs (2). Monitoring Health Events We monitor health events for the following purposes: To detect sudden changes in disease occurrence and distribution To follow secular (long-term) trends and patterns of disease To identify changes in agents and host factors To detect changes in health care practices Local health agencies and to a lesser degree national ones use surveillance data for detecting sudden increases in disease occurrence, such as epidemics. When appropriate, agencies may investigate and subsequently initiate control and prevention activities. Health agencies at all levels need to be aware of the secular (long-term) trends and patterns of disease among the populations they serve, and to explain any change in those patterns. For example, surveillance of malaria in the United States revealed several changes in its incidence that were of interest to public health officials. As Figure 5.3 shows, changes in malaria occurrence could be correlated with the importation of cases from foreign wars, foreign immigration, and increased international travel by U.S. citizens. To target strategies and anticipate needs, public health decision-makers must know the patterns of disease occurrence by risk group. For example, the surveillance of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) includes the identification of the probable route of exposure. From this information, we have been able to follow the expansion and shift in risk groups from predominantly homosexual men to injection drug users and their sex partners. By monitoring patterns to date we may be able to forecast the future pattern of disease occurrence. Such forecasts are useful for planning resource needs.
6 Page 294 Principles of Epidemiology Figure 5.3 Malaria by year of report, United States, Source: 6 Reported Cases per 1, Population Works Progress Administration Malaria Control Drainage Program Relapses from Overseas Cases Year Relapses from Korean Veterans Returning Vietnam Veterans Foreign Immigration We monitor changes in agents and host factors to assess the potential for future disease occurrence. For example, laboratory scientists monitor certain infectious agents for changes in their antigenic pattern or resistance to antibiotics. The influenza viruses are among these agents. By identifying antigenic drifts and shifts in these viruses, we can direct vaccine production and anticipate the effect of influenza on the community. The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System is an excellent example of the surveillance of host factors (16). This national system monitors changes in such factors as smoking, alcohol use, obesity, and seat-belt use. Actions have been taken at both the national level and within health care facilities as a result of monitoring changes in health care practices. For example, when some hospitals identified a marked increase in cesarean deliveries they established decision-making protocols. Similarly, when surveillance of dentists in the early 198 s showed that routine use of masks and gloves was not rising as quickly as the incidence of AIDS, health authorities implemented intensive educational efforts for dentists.
7 Lesson 5: Public Health Surveillance Page 295 Link to Public Health Action Investigation and control When many of the notifiable diseases are reported, local, state, and even national or international health agencies may take action. One action is to search for the source or sources which, when found, may prompt further actions closure of a restaurant, counseling and treatment of an asymptomatic patient, withdrawal of a commercial product, or warnings to the public. In addition, health agencies may act to intensify surveillance of the disease and identification of other susceptible and potentially exposed persons who may be at risk of developing disease. When these persons are identified, they may be offered testing, counseling, treatment, vaccination, or prophylaxis as appropriate. For example, a TB registry is used to monitor and followup cases. Within a workplace, surveillance may prompt similar actions within the facility, including identification of others at risk and elimination of workplace hazards. Planning As noted earlier, the goal of surveillance is to provide a factual basis for rational decision making. By monitoring changes in disease occurrence over time and place, agencies can anticipate when and where resources will be needed, and thus will be able to plan how to allocate them effectively. Evaluating prevention and control measures Surveillance data are used frequently to quantify the impact of program interventions. Figure 5.4 shows the incidence of measles in the United States over a period of 35 years. The precipitous drop in the mid-196 s reflects the impact of the National Measles Vaccination Program. The resurgence in the late 198 s led to a revision in recommendations from a 1-dose to a 2-dose vaccination policy. Agencies can use surveillance data in a similar way to monitor and modify educational and other risk-reduction programs. Generating hypotheses and stimulating public health research Because we collect and analyze surveillance data on an ongoing basis, our findings often generate questions and hypotheses that provide direction for further research. For example, in 198 surveillance systems documented the nationwide occurrence of a new disease which came to be known as toxic shock syndrome (TSS) (19). From a review of the initial surveillance data, epidemiologists realized that many of the cases occurred in menstruating women. They conducted a series of increasingly focused case-control studies. In less than a year they found a strong association between TSS and a particular brand of tampon, which was promptly withdrawn from the market.
8 Page 296 Principles of Epidemiology 5 Figure 5.4 Annual measles incidence rates, United States, ; with inset of Measles Incidence Incidence Rate per 1, Rate Year Source: 6 Year Other Uses of Surveillance Testing hypotheses Surveillance data can sometimes be used to test hypotheses regarding the impact of exposures on disease occurrence. For example, in 1973, two infants with dissimilar birth defects were born to parents who had used spray adhesives extensively while engaged in the hobby of foil art. As a result, the Consumer Product Safety Commission banned the sale of these spray adhesive compounds. The ban was lifted after birth defect surveillance data for showed a slight decrease in the total number of birth defects and in the number of birth defects in infants, despite a 5-fold increase in spray adhesive sales during the same period (5). Archive of disease activity While collection of data simply to provide an archive of disease activity is not one of the primary goals of surveillance, it is a byproduct of the process. These data are often reported in annual summaries issued by the responsible health agencies. Since surveillance data are usually acted on locally, they become more historical as they are reported to successively higher levels. Even archival data, however, can be put to use. For example, epidemiologists used historical surveillance data to develop statistical models to predict the feasibility of proposed policies for eradicating measles and polio (22).
9 Lesson 5: Public Health Surveillance Page 297 Sources of Data Many sources of data are available that can be used for public health surveillance. The World Health Organization listed the following as key sources of surveillance data (23): Mortality reports Morbidity reports Epidemic reports Reports of laboratory utilization (including laboratory test results) Reports of individual case investigations Reports of epidemic investigations Special surveys (e.g., hospital admissions, disease registers, and serologic surveys) Information on animal reservoirs and vectors Demographic data Environmental data In the United States, these and other sources of data have been used for public health surveillance purposes. Some are collected as part of a surveillance system. Others are collected for other reasons, but may be used for surveillance purposes. The most common sources of data are described on the following pages. Mortality Data Vital statistics Vital statistics include data on birth, death, marriage, and divorce. Records may be available at the local and state level within a matter of days or weeks, but they are not always coded or computerized. CDC s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) collects a monthly national sample of death certificates and publishes a report based on these sample data 3 months later. NCHS also provides complete national mortality data within 2 to 3 years. On the other hand, 121 cities around the United States report to CDC the number of deaths by age from all causes combined and from pneumonia or influenza within about 3 weeks of occurrence. These data are published the following week in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR). More information on the surveillance of influenza is provided on pages Medical examiner data Coroners and medical examiners can provide information on sudden or unexpected deaths. Their reports are available at the state or county level, and include details about the cause and nature of death that are not given on the death certificate. These reports are particularly valuable for surveillance of intentional and unintentional injuries and of sudden deaths of unknown cause.
10 Page 298 Principles of Epidemiology Morbidity Data Notifiable disease reports Each state government establishes what health events must be reported by health care providers in that state. Some states require as few as 35 conditions to be reported; others require as many as 13 conditions. Most states also require that an outbreak of any condition be reported. Table 5.1 on page 34 lists the conditions that are reportable in many states. As that table shows, reportable conditions are primarily acute (sudden) infectious diseases, although some chronic and noninfectious diseases are reportable in some states. Health agencies at the local, state, and national level routinely use the reported data for public health surveillance. Laboratory data Laboratory reports form the basis of surveillance for selected diseases, including many viral illnesses and those caused by enteric pathogens such as Salmonella and Shigella. These may or may not be part of the notifiable disease reporting system. Hospital data Almost all hospitals have computerized discharge records, primarily for financial purposes. These records may be used for surveillance purposes, however, and several states now compile hospital discharge data for public use. These records typically include demographic data, diagnoses, operative procedures, length of stay, and costs, but exclude names, addresses, and other information which could identify individuals.
11 Lesson 5: Public Health Surveillance Page 299 Several sources provide hospital discharge data on a national level. For example, you can get annual data on a national random sample of hospital records from the National Hospital Discharge Survey conducted by NCHS. In addition, you can get complete and sampled data on Medicare inpatient and outpatient visits from the Health Care Financing Administration for Medicare recipients. Also, you can buy discharge data from two large private abstracting firms; these data have been abstracted from the hospitals where these companies have contracts. Statewide and national surveillance systems collect data from samples of hospitals for a variety of specific health events. These include systems for surveillance of birth defects, nosocomial infections, injuries, and drug-related emergency room visits. Outpatient health care data Although France has developed an extensive computerized surveillance system for outpatient data from physicians offices, there is no comprehensive, timely outpatient surveillance system in the United States. At the local or state level, you may be able to get outpatient data from some physicians and health maintenance organizations that have computerized their medical records. At the national level, you can get outpatient data from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, which is conducted periodically by NCHS, and from the commercial National Drug and Therapeutic Index. Both are random samples from office-based physicians of diagnostic, specialty, therapeutic, and disposition data. Finally, outpatient data are available from a network of interested family practice physicians who report on a few selected health problems, including influenza-like illness. Specific topics Over 3 states now have some form of cancer registry. Eleven of these registries are part of the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) system supported by the National Cancer Institute. Each SEER Center attempts to identify every patient diagnosed with cancer in a designated geographic area (usually a state or large metropolitan area). For each patient, the SEER Center collects relevant demographic data as well as details on the type, site, and treatment of the cancer. Post-marketing surveillance of adverse drug reactions and other adverse health events to detect potential safety problems of marketed drugs is the responsibility of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Each year, over 1, reports of adverse events are submitted to the FDA by health care providers and pharmaceutical manufacturers. In recent years, injury surveillance systems have increased. A number of systems in different jurisdictions now collect information on different types of injuries. At the national level, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration collects information on fatal crashes occurring on public roadways. Occupational illness is another area of current expansion. Surveillance for occupational lead poisoning, pneumoconioses, and other occupationally-related illnesses is conducted in a growing number of states. Several states and CDC are also working to reestablish surveillance for elevated blood lead levels in children.
12 Page 3 Principles of Epidemiology Surveys of Health and General Populations All surveillance systems described above collect data on the occurrence of some type of disease or other adverse health condition. Some systems, however, have been established to sample the health status of citizens in the community. For example, NCHS periodically conducts the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). In this survey, NCHS examines a random sample of the U.S. population and records clinical examination and laboratory data, as well as demographic and medical history information. NCHS has conducted NHANES three times since 196. NCHS also conducts the Health Interview Survey, which collects information on illness, disability, health service utilization, and activity restriction from a continuous sampling of over 4, civilian households. Finally, more than 4 state health departments participate in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System in collaboration with CDC. This surveillance system uses telephone interviewers to collect information on smoking, alcohol use, seat-belt use, hypertension, weight, and other factors which affect health. Surveillance Systems of Disease Indicators Still other surveillance systems collect data on indicators of disease or of disease potential. These systems fall into four categories: animal populations, environmental data, drug/biologic utilization, and student and employee data. Of these categories, the animal and environmental systems act as early-warning systems of disease potential. The other two categories collect disease-indicator data that are more accessible than data on the particular diseases themselves. Each of these categories is described in more detail below. Animal populations Monitoring animal populations is an important part of the surveillance system for certain diseases. Animal surveillance may include detecting and measuring: 1. Animal morbidity and mortality caused by a disease that can affect humans (e.g., rabies) 2. The presence of a disease agent in wild and domestic sentinel animals (e.g., survey of rodents for plague, of chickens for St. Louis encephalitis) 3. Changes in the size and distribution of the animal reservoirs and vectors of a disease (e.g., monitoring deer and ticks which are hosts for the agent that causes Lyme disease) Environmental data Public health agencies conduct routine environmental surveillance at the community level to detect contamination of public water, milk, and food supplies. Agencies may also use environmental surveillance to focus on conditions in nature that support animal populations that may be reservoirs or vectors of disease. For example, agencies may monitor tire dumps and other potential breeding sites for mosquitoes. Other types of environmental surveillance have become important in recent years, such as environmental monitoring for radiation. In the workplace hazard surveillance, such as monitoring potentially harmful chemical, biological, and physical agents, guides strategies for preventing illness and injury.
13 Lesson 5: Public Health Surveillance Page 31 Drug/biologic utilization State health departments and CDC are the only sources for a number of biologics and drugs (e.g., botulism antitoxin, diphtheria antitoxin, and until 1983, the anti-pneumocystis drug, pentamidine). By monitoring requests for these controlled biologics, state health departments and CDC have an effective surveillance system for the diseases or exposures that these materials treat. Indeed, CDC noted an upsurge in pentamidine requests in This observation quickly led to the recognition of a nationwide epidemic of a disease soon to be named acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Student and employee data Public health agencies routinely use school absenteeism records to assess the pervasiveness of influenza-like illness in a community. Employee records, workers compensation claims, and other occupational data are increasingly being used for surveillance of occupational illness and injuries.
14 Page 32 Principles of Epidemiology Exercise 5.1 Assume you are working in a state in which none of the conditions below is on the state list of reportable diseases. For each condition, what sources of data might be available if you wished to conduct surveillance? What factors make one source of data more appropriate than another? A. Listeriosis (case definition in Appendix C) B. Spinal cord injury C. Lung cancer in non-smokers Answers on page 335.
15 Lesson 5: Public Health Surveillance Page 33 Conducting Surveillance Conducting surveillance requires the collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of health data. Each of these activities is described below. Collection of Surveillance Data Diseases notifiable by law Reporting from individual to local health department to state health department. Each state has a morbidity reporting system that is based on state laws or regulations adopted by the state board or department of health. In most states, state health authorities are empowered by the state legislature to establish and modify reporting requirements. In a few states, the legislature keeps that authority. Typically, the regulations specify the following: The diseases and conditions that must be reported Who is responsible for reporting What information is required on each case of disease reported (States can modify this requirement when circumstances require different or additional information.) How, to whom, and how quickly the information is to be reported Control measures to be taken for specified diseases The list of notifiable diseases differs from state to state, reflecting variations in public health priorities. In general, a state includes a disease on its list if the disease (1) causes serious morbidity or death, (2) has the potential to affect additional people beyond the reported case, and (3) can be controlled or prevented with proper intervention. The number of diseases on the lists of the various states ranges from 35 to more than 1. Table 5.1 shows the notifiable diseases that are reportable in most states, and indicates those that are notifiable at the national level as well. State health departments commonly specify two other circumstances that must be reported: any outbreak or unusually high incidence of any disease, and any occurrence of an unusual disease of public health importance. Some states also provide for immediately adding to its reportable disease list any disease that becomes important from a public health standpoint. In most states, reporting known or suspected cases of a reportable disease is generally considered to be an obligation of Physicians, dentists, nurses, and other health professionals Medical examiners Administrators of hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, schools, and nurseries Some states also require or request reporting from: Laboratory directors Any individual who knows of or suspects the existence of a reportable disease

17 Lesson 5: Public Health Surveillance Page 35 In most states, anyone responsible for reporting diseases is required to send a case report within a week of diagnosis, but certain special threats to the public, such as botulism, quarantinable diseases, and epidemics, must be reported immediately by telephone. Individual reports are usually considered confidential and are not available for public inspection. Usually, the case report is sent to the local health department, which has primary responsibility for taking appropriate action. The local health department then forwards a copy of the case report to the state health department. A few states, however, have the initial case reports sent directly to the state health department. In these states, there may be no local health department in the area where the case occurred, or the local health department for whatever reason cannot effectively respond to the reports, or the state health department has decided to take primary responsibility for responding to case reports. This cycle of information is illustrated in Figure 5.5. Figure 5.5 The information cycle Individual Case Reports Reporter Local State CDC CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION World Health Organization Aggregate Reports and Interpretations, Recommendations This form of data collection, in which health care providers send reports to a health department based on a known set of rules and regulations, is called passive (provider-initiated) surveillance. Less commonly, health department staff may call or visit health care providers to solicit reports. This active (health-department-initiated) surveillance is usually limited to specific diseases over a limited period of time, such as after a community exposure or during an epidemic. Most state health departments require the use of a standard form for case reports. Figure 5.6 shows the form used in Washington State. Some states, however, allow reporting by telephone in lieu of written reports, and some are experimenting with reporting by computer telecommunications. At a minimum, most case report forms ask for the patient s name, age, sex, race, address, telephone number, the name of the patient s head-of-household, the date of onset of illness, the name and telephone number of the person reporting, and the date of the report. The place and date of hospitalization, if applicable, are also commonly requested. For many diseases, additional information is also collected about the diagnosis, manifestations, and epidemiologic features.

19 Lesson 5: Public Health Surveillance Page 37 While it is the intention of the laws and regulations of each state that every case of a reportable disease be reported, the reality is otherwise. For rare, serious diseases of public health importance such as rabies, plague, or botulism, the percentage of cases actually reported may approach 1%. On the other hand, for some other diseases such as aseptic meningitis, reporting has been found to be as low as 5%. Figure 5.7 illustrates the typical fall-off from infection through disease reporting for shigellosis. 1 Figure 5.7 Completeness of case identification, reporting, and investigation of shigellosis 8 % of Patients Negative Report to Follow-up Symptomatic Consulted Culture Culture Local Health Report Patient Cultures Infected Physician Obtained Positive Department to CDC Contacted Obtained 1% 76% 28% 9% 7% 6% 5% 5% 2% Source: 17 Cumulative Days Elapsed From Onset of Symptoms The laws and regulations often include penalties for failure to report a notifiable condition, such as a fine or suspension of a license to practice, but these penalties are rarely enforced. Incomplete reporting of some diseases can be attributed to lack of knowledge of what is reportable, lack of knowledge of how to report, and the perception that reporting is not important. Reporting from state health department to CDC. The Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) determines which diseases states should report to CDC, revising the list as necessary. In 1961, they listed the 6 quarantinable diseases (cholera, plague, louse-borne relapsing fever, smallpox, epidemic typhus fever, and yellow fever), 16 additional infectious diseases of humans, and 1 infectious disease in animals (rabies). Since then, CSTE has revised the list several times, adding newly recognized diseases (TSS, legionellosis, AIDS), adding categories of disease (e.g., hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis non-a, non-b, and hepatitis, unspecified), and dropping some diseases(e.g., streptococcal sore throat and scarlet fever, chickenpox). Table 5.1 on page 34 indicates the diseases that were nationally notifiable in 199.
20 Page 38 Principles of Epidemiology The notifiable disease list in each state is longer than the nationally notifiable list, reflecting state surveillance of diseases and conditions of local importance. The procedures for reporting are published in CDC s Manual of Procedures for National Morbidity Reporting and Public Health Surveillance Activities (4). In general, each week each state health department provides to CDC by computer telecommunication the case reports of all nationally notifiable diseases that were reported in the state during the preceding 7 days. These reports represent provisional data, since the diagnosis may not be confirmed and other data items may be incomplete. The actual disease report forms, which contain much more detailed information, follow by mail, though increasing use is being made of telecommunications. Usually, these reports are stripped of names and other personal identifiers by the state before being sent to CDC. CDC compiles the case reports from the various states and within a few days of their receipt publishes a summary of the data in the MMWR. CDC also publishes more detailed surveillance reports on various diseases based on the case report forms and on other reports of cases, laboratory isolates, epidemics, and investigations. Reporting by CDC to World Health Organization. By international agreement, CDC promptly reports to the World Health Organization any reported cases of the internationally quarantinable diseases plague, cholera, and yellow fever. CDC also reports influenza virus isolates and summarizes annual morbidity for the diseases from reports received the previous year. The practice of reporting morbidity data to successively higher levels of government not only keeps each level informed of the current incidence in its jurisdiction, but also makes possible the compilation of data for successively larger areas. These compilations provide opportunities for identifying common factors not discernible at lower levels especially when the incidence of a disease is low in most local areas. Other local-state-national surveillance systems In addition to the reports received through the nationally notifiable diseases surveillance system, CDC receives regular reports of a few diseases through other channels. For example, the surveillance systems for salmonellosis and shigellosis are based on reports of isolates sent by state laboratories to CDC. Surveillance for influenza is particularly interesting. Since it is impractical for health care providers to report individual cases of influenza-like illness, health authorities at all levels had to find other sources of data. At the state and local levels, health authorities use reports of outbreaks of influenza-like illness, laboratory identification of influenza virus from nasopharyngeal swabs, and reports from schools of excess absenteeism (e.g., greater than 1% of student body). In addition, some local systems monitor death certificates for pneumonia and influenza, arrange for selected physicians to report the number of patients they see with influenza-like illness each week, and ask selected businesses to report excess employee absenteeism. At least one county health department monitors the number of chest X rays a mobile radiology group does of nursing home patients; when chest X rays are more than 5% of the total X rays ordered, an influenza epidemic is usually in progress.

We recently stayed at the Sandusky, Ohio, Fairfield Inn. Room 231. Upon arriving around 2:15 am the card scanner for the door keys would not work and we couldn't get in the room. Had to go back downstairs to the desk. The desk clerk still couldn't get the card to scan. She tried several cards and none of them would work. Ater waiting almost 20 minutes she finally got some master key card that opened the door for us. Seeing we were not going anywhere that night, except to bed, we didn't need a key.
During the early morning a key card was slid under the door along with the bill. That key cards also didn't work.
The room was clean, two double beds, & sofa. Air conditioner was pretty quiet. We had it set on low cool and the temperature dial set at the half way point. The unit took a long time between cycles to turn on, which was fine for us. It was only 59 degree's that night. But the room was stuffy when we entered it.
Who keeps erasing the Microwave clock settings? I had to reset that. The mini refrigerator was whisper quiet. The room window only opened 2 inches, which is useless for ventilation. There was no screen on the window either. Thumbs down on the CFC light bulbs in all the lamps, very dim in the room.
Both beds were a bit soft, but not worn to the point you sunk into the matress. Bedding was clean. Pillows were way to soft for us - but we bring our own from home anyway.
Bathroom vanity is outside of the bathroom. The orange glow night lite on the hairdryer was cuckcoo. When the light switch was turned off the orange light would shut off instead of turning on. So it was dark trying to find the bathroom in the dark.
Thumbs down to the bathroom fan coming ON with the light in the bathroom. Who wants to hear the fan in the next room running at 4am? The Fan should have a seperate switch to operate. If you hang up clothes on the clothes rod, the clothes block your view of the light switch for the bathroom, as it is outside the bathrrom door on the left side.
Bathroom & shower area were clean and had the rougher, no skid tile that dried pretty quick. Vanity was stocked with Panteen Shampoo. Love the 1500 watt Sunbeam hair dryers. Bathroom towels were a bit small. Wrapped arould my waist - there was barely 2" overlap of the ends of the towels.
The room overlooked Route 250 and I was bothered by Road Noise. At 5 to 6am there was some loud motorcycle noise and semi truck noise that was bothersome.
We did not partake in the breakfast or use the pool or other facilities, so we cannot comment on those.
Just a few minutes down the road from shopping, restuarant, gas stations and Cedar Point Amusement Park. I would stay at this hotel again if in the area.

LOL, heh, actually I knew he wore the glasses, and contacts from that battle with gamma, but for some odd reason, I just never connected that to him actually NEEDING glasses...oops.
and yes ahldfjghajdfg he does look hot with glasses XDDD
| Deactivated00424649 chapter 1 . 5/26/2014
Fluff and glasses, couldn't ask for more. Yup, still stalking your fics.

I loved it. I couldn't quite smiling through the whole thing I felt like an idiot this was so cute! ;P
| wolfeclipse25 chapter 1 . 2/1/2013
Great ONE-shot!
I always did wonder if Gokudera wore contacts or not. Hmmm, the mysteries of eyes...
| Fi Suki Saki chapter 1 . 1/14/2013
This fic is cute! X3
And indeed, Gokudera wearing a contact. I mean, the contact for battle. Like Tsuna has!
Goku indeed 'sexy' and adorable more when he wear glasses!
And Yama indeed pervert! Just for you, Gokudera Hayato! *grin*
| safa56bmc chapter 1 . 2/19/2012
awwww so sweet..adorable the both of them..
| Rui17 chapter 1 . 6/8/2011
Yamamoto can be so sappy sometimes. But in a sweet-endearing-i'll-never-get-tired-of-it way. And honestly, sometimes, I think Gokudera PMSes with the way his mood swings and all :)) But then, that's why we love 'em, right? Hahaha.
| TheEndofTag chapter 1 . 4/9/2011
hahaha. I just love how Takeshi just blurted out how sexy and hot Hayato is wearing glasses. _ And somehow i could just easily picture Takeshi having sex with a glasses Hayato. _~
| mangoteaa chapter 1 . 3/16/2011
Hee. Dera IS pretty sexy with his glasses. u
I say he needs to wear them more in the anime. :
The story was adorable. **
| Melodious Lion chapter 1 . 1/17/2011
Takeshi's such a perv. XD But glasses are a total turn-on. :DD
| Paradoxismminant chapter 1 . 1/13/2011
Ahhh, glasses fetish!
Very nice ;D
| Purple.Chocolate.Stars chapter 1 . 12/25/2010
I'm glad to know Yamamoto and I share something in common. Gokuder'a glasses make me jkshfoshfi. It's just perfect on him. and "Sexy and intellectual and stuff" is probably the best way tp put it.
Great job! XD
| Sotoriel chapter 1 . 10/24/2010
Fluff 8059 is such win. Great job writing this. It really did put a smile on my face.
| 594229 chapter 1 . 10/23/2010
I've always thought Gokudera must wear contacts too. Lol. It's nice to see someone sharing the theory. Cute story~! It really brightened up my evening. -

Thanks for the well wishes. Discretion was the better part of valor on the squats. Rep 5 barely went up (still a new PR). An attempt at rep 6 would have been a semi-goodmorninged abomination for the sole benefit of my chiropractor and the ibuprofen conglomerates.Last edited by Neckhammer; 11-12-2013, 02:16 PM.
Originally posted by Neckhammer View PostHey good on you then (both the discretion and the PR)! Discretion is still something I'm trying to learn. Two weeks in a row I've gone for that one more rep when I knew I shouldn't of, and I'm keeping my buddies in business because of it. I know gains aren't gonna be exactly linear at this point, but still trying damnit...
Originally posted by OldSchhool View PostI think that one more rep that you don't quite get might well be the most important rep of the set. Obviously with squats you have to figure in the safety aspect but with a spotter or power rack it should still be fine.The Champagne of Beards
Depends on how you fail. If, at the point of failure, you cannot maintain a rigid lumbar spine, an additional rep that would turn into an ugly rounded-back mess of a squat/goodmorning hybrid is not advisable. Ask me how I know.

Originally posted by Neckhammer View PostI've lifted under that philosophy (going to failure +about a 5-10 second "effort" to keep the weight moving) for the past couple years. It has definitely worked well up to this point. There certainly is debate though. How much intensity is necessary, and what constitutes failure? Some define the intensity issue as inroad and outroad...so there seems to be a balance of how much is enough to elicit those gains we want without excessive systemic fatigue. And I've even read some say that if going to failure you should not be "psyching" yourself up for the lift. Plus its just in my nature to let form slip for the sake of getting one more rep than last time. Call it being overcompetitive (even with myself) or even vanity, but it certainly keeps happening. So for me to stop a half rep or rep early is probably just admitting that my form suffers on the next rep. Not a big deal with anything except deadlifts and squats though I suppose (maybe dips as well).
I mean let's say you fail on the 8th rep of barbell curls with 100 lbs, that doesn't mean that your biceps are 100% done, that just means that there are temporarily not enough fresh fibers available to complete another rep at that weight. Drop the weight to 90 lbs and you would likely get another rep or two. In theory to say they are totally exhausted you would have to continue with these drop till you were unable to lift only your arm to your shoulder and even then it would only be momentary muscular failure. That is failure to do concentric contractions, you would still be able to continue doing eccentric reps.Last edited by OldSchhool; 11-12-2013, 03:52 PM.

A 20-year-old man was accidentally killed on Saturday afternoon when he and an acquaintance were looking at a gun in a Baton Rouge home's storage room, according to police.
The two men were in a home in the 4900 block of Jefferson Avenue when the gun went off around 12:30 p.m., said Cpl. L'Jean McKneely, a Baton Rouge Police spokesman. A single bullet struck the 20-year-old in the chest, and he died at the scene, according to McKneely.
The 19-year-old acquaintance was holding the gun when it was fired, McKneely said. The acquaintance remained at the scene and was detained for questioning, McKneely said, and could face charges for the incident.
"They didn't have problems before," McKneely added of the two men. "It wasn't purposely done."
Police have not released the victim's identity until they notify his family, and will release the acquaintance's name only if they arrest him, McKneely said.
Neighbors and others at the scene said they had little information about what had happened. No details were immediately available about the victim, who did not reside at the house on Jefferson Avenue where the shooting took place.
