Presentations will include descriptions of the viruses, their transmission cycles, geographical distribution, symptoms, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
Epidemiology and control measures for Yellow fever AB Rajar
It is an acute infectious disease of short duration, with sudden
onset,fever,headache,prostration,nausea,epistaxis,buccal bleeding,hematemesis,malena and jaundice
Arthropods form a major group of disease vectors with mosquitoes, flies, sand flies, lice, fleas, ticks and mites transmitting a huge number of diseases.
Poxviruses are brick or oval-shaped viruses with large double-stranded DNA genomes. Poxviruses exist throughout the world and cause disease in humans and many other types of animals. Poxvirus infections typically result in the formation of lesions, skin nodules, or disseminated rash.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

WHO definition: viruses that are
maintained in nature principally, or to an
important extent, through biological
transmission between susceptible
vertebrate host by hematophagous
arthropods; viruses multiply in tissues of
arthropods, and are passed on to new
vertebrates by bites of arthropods after a
period of extrinsic incubation period.

24. Symptoms
The majority of persons infected with yellow
fever virus have no illness or only mild
illness.
In persons who develop symptoms, the
incubation period (time from infection until
illness) is typically 3–6 days.
The initial symptoms include sudden onset
of fever, chills, severe headache, back pain,
general body aches, nausea, and vomiting,
fatigue, and weakness. Most persons
improve after the initial presentation.
25. Symptoms
After a brief remission of hours to a day,
roughly 15% of cases progress to develop a
more severe form of the disease. The severe
form is characterized by high fever, jaundice,
bleeding, and eventually shock and failure of
multiple organs. Rate of Death: 50%
27. Diagnosis
Virus isolation
– From the blood or post-mortem liver tissue
Rapid diagnostic test:
– Detection viral genome by PCR in blood o tissues
– Not widely available
Detection IgM antibodies (ELISA)
– Simple sample provides a presumptive
diagnosis. Confirmation is made by a rise
between paired acute and convalescent samples
or a fall between early and late convalescent
samples.
– Cross-reactions with other flaviviruses
complicate the diagnosis particularity in Africa
(multiple flaviviruses cocirculate).
28. Treatment
No specific treatments have been
found to benefit patients with yellow
fever. Whenever possible, yellow
fever patients should be hospitalized
for supportive care and close
observation.
Treatment is symptomatic. Rest,
fluids, and use of pain relievers and
medication to reduce fever may
relieve symptoms of aching and
fever.
29. Prevention
Vaccine:
- Types: Inactivated mouse brain or Live attenuated
- Mandatory for people that live at endemic area and
travelers
Others
- Use insect repellent
- Wear proper clothing to reduce mosquito bites
- Be aware of peak mosquito hours
30.
31. Family: Flaviviridae; Genus: Flavivirus, 4 Serotypes (1,2,3,4)
Distribution: all tropical and some subtropical areas
- WHO: 2.5 billion people, two fifths
of the world's population, at risk from
dengue and estimates that there may
be 50 million cases of dengue
infection worldwide every year. The
disease is endemic in more than 100
countries
34. Transmission: 1 patterns (Cycle)
1. Person to person transmission by Aedes
A. aegypti (America) and A. albopictus (Asia)
35. Classic Dengue (Break bone Fever)
- Incubation: 3-10 days;
- Chills, high fever, intense headache, myalgia,
arthralgia, retro-orbital pain, colic pain and
abdominal tenderness. Fever biphasic (saddle
type).
- Maculopapular rashes develop on chest, trunk.
36. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) &
Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS)
C/F-High fever, hemorrhagic phenomena
including bleeding from the eyes, nose, mouth,
ear, into the gut, and oozing of blood from skin
pores, thrombocytopenia, and
hemoconcentration
Vascular leak syndrome - blood leaks through
the skin and into spaces around the lungs and
abdomen. This fluid loss and severe bleeding can
cause blood pressure to fall; then Dengue Shock
Syndrome (DSS) sets in, which has a high
mortality rate.
45. Transmission: 2 patterns (Cycles)
1. Person to person transmission by Aedes sp.
2. Monkey-monkey by arboreal mosq. A. aegypti (America) and
A. albopictus (Asia)
46. Symptoms
- Fever
- Severe arthritis
- Chills, headache, photophobia
- Nausea, abdominal pain
- Rashes and petechias
52. Transmission: 2 patterns (Cycles)
1. Person to person transmission by Aedes sp.
2. Monkey-monkey by arboreal mosq.
Aedes aegypti
Aedes africanus,
Aedes apicoargenteus
Aedes furcifer
Aedes luteocephalus
Aedes vitattus
53. Symptoms
About 1 in 5 people infected with Zika virus
become ill.
The most common symptoms of Zika are fever,
rash, joint pain, or red eyes. Other symptoms
include muscle pain, headache, pain behind
the eyes, and vomiting.
The illness is usually mild with symptoms
lasting for several days to a week.
Severe disease requiring hospitalization is
uncommon.
Deaths due to Zika have not been reported.
