Epidemiological investigations are conducted during outbreak situations to determine the cause and implement control measures. The key steps include: 1) confirming the outbreak, 2) confirming diagnoses, 3) determining the number of cases, 4) organizing data by time, place and person, 5) developing hypotheses, 6) comparing hypotheses to facts, 7) executing control measures, and 8) writing a report. Questionnaires are used to gather information and orient data to identify patterns and associations.

Outbreak investigation steps

Abdiwali Abdullahi Abdiwali

The 10-step approach to outbreak investigations involves: 1) Identifying an investigation team and resources. 2) Establishing the existence of an outbreak. 3) Verifying the diagnosis, constructing a case definition, and finding cases systematically. Descriptive epidemiology is then used to develop hypotheses, which are evaluated through additional studies if needed, before implementing control measures, communicating findings, and maintaining surveillance to confirm the outbreak has ended. Being systematic and following these steps is key to determining the source and controlling outbreaks.

An Introduction To Research Methods

Valerie Felton

This document provides an introduction to research methods. It defines scientific research as investigations that are generalizable, empirically verifiable, transparent in decision making, build on prior work, and generate new hypotheses. Scientific research follows the scientific method of developing a theory, devising a test, conducting the test, and revising the theory based on results. Evidence-based practice relies on scientific research over expert opinion. Research is categorized as explanatory, to test hypotheses, or pragmatic, to estimate quantities. Generating specific research questions is important. Proper planning includes determining aims, reviewing prior work, designing a protocol, and obtaining necessary approvals. Understanding the health literature critically is key to evidence-based practice. Scientific papers follow a standard structure

The polygraph, also known as a lie detector test, measures physiological indicators such as blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and skin conductivity to determine whether a person is lying. It was developed in the early 20th century based on the theory that physiological responses differ when a person is being deceptive versus telling the truth. The test involves attaching sensors to the subject and asking them a series of questions while recording their physiological signals. An examiner then interprets the signals to assess whether the subject's responses are consistent with lying. However, the reliability of polygraph tests remains controversial.

Jamie Davies

1. Rosenhan conducted a study where pseudopatients (people posing as patients) gained admission to psychiatric hospitals by claiming to hear voices. 2. Once admitted, the pseudopatients acted normally but took detailed notes of their observations and treatment. 3. On average, pseudopatients spent 23 days in the hospital before being discharged with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, despite never having any symptoms of mental illness. The study highlighted issues with misdiagnosis and over-medicalization in psychiatric facilities.

Reproducibility, argument and data in translational medicine

Tim Clark

Failures in reproducibility and robustness of scientific findings are explored from statistical, historical, and argumentation theory perspectives. The impact of false positives in the literature is connected to failures in T1 and T2 biomedical translation, and is shown to have a significant impact on the costs of therapeutic development and availability of needed treatments to the public. Technological and social approaches to resolve these issues are presented. "Reproducibility" initiatives are critiqued as unsustainable and non-authoritative; improved requirements and methods for scientific communication of findings including data, methods and material are supported as the best approaches for improved reproducibility.

Formaldehyde exposure in medical students: a short period of contact causes D...

International Multispeciality Journal of Health

Abstract— Occupational exposure to formaldehyde (FA) has been related to adverse outcomes. However, a short period of exposure has never been assessed in terms of evaluating DNA. This study conducted on 39 medical students exposed to FA in a university laboratory of human anatomy and aimed to analyze the relationship between FA exposure and DNA damage. The buccal micronucleus cytome assay (BMCyt) was used to evaluate the students at four time points: before FA exposure, after four months of FA exposure, after eight months of FA exposure and after three months without FA exposure (remission period). Pyknotic cells, karyolitic cells, karyorrhetic cells, condensed chromatin, binucleated cells, basal cells differentiated cells, micronucleated cells and nuclear bridges were enumerated. This study shows that FA exposure caused genomic instability in all periods and the remission period was not sufficient to reverse all damage. Thus, prolonged occupational exposure to FA not only causes DNA damage but a shorter exposure period can have the same effect.

430 Chapter 17 Death and Dying Case 17-1 When Parents Refuse to Give Up1 Nine-year-old Yusef Camp began experiencing symptoms soon after eating a pickle bought from a street vendor. He felt dizzy and fell down, he could not use his legs, and he began to scream. By 10:00 p.m., he was hallucinating and was transported to the DC General Hospital by ambulance. He went into convulsions. His stomach was pumped, and they found traces of marijuana and possibly PCP. He soon stopped breathing, and by the next morning, brain scans showed no activity. Four months later, Yusef’s condition had not changed. The physicians believed his brain was not functioning and wanted to pronounce him dead based on brain criteria. Several difficulties were encountered, however. First, there was some disagreement among the medical personnel over whether his brain function had ceased completely. Second, at that time the District of Columbia had no law authorizing death pronouncement based on brain criteria. It was not clear that physicians could use death as grounds for stopping treatment. Most important, Ronald Camp, the boy’s father, protested vigorously any sug- gestion that treatment be stopped. A devout Muslim, he said, “I could walk up and say unplug him; but for the rest of my life I would be thinking, was I too hasty? Could he have recovered if I had given it another 6 months or a year? I’m leaving it in Almighty God’s hand to let it take whatever flow it will.” The nurses involved in Yusef’s care faced several problems. Maggots were found growing in Yusef’s lungs and nasal passages. His right foot and ankle became gangrenous. He showed no response to noises or painful stimuli. The nurses had the responsi- bility not only for maintaining the respiratory tract and the gangrenous limb, but also for providing the intensive nursing care needed to maintain Yusef in debilitated condition on life support systems. Had the aggressive care been serving any purpose, they would have been willing to provide it no matter how repulsive the boy’s condition was and in spite of there being many other patients desperately needing their attention. However, some of the nurses caring for Yusef were convinced that they were doing no good what- soever for the boy. They believed they were only consuming enormous amounts of time and hospital resources in what appeared to be a futile effort. In the process, other patients were not getting as much care as would certainly be of benefit to them. Could the nurses or the physicians argue that care should be stopped because he was dead? Could they overrule the parents’ judgment about the usefulness of the treatment even if he were not dead? Could they legitimately take into account the welfare of the other patients and the enormous costs involved when deciding whether to limit their attention to Yusef? 1Weiser, B. (1980, September 5). Boy, 9, may not be “brain dead,” new medical examiner shows. Washington Post, ...
