Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The accomplishments of the first year's work of the three year program, Computerized Mapping of Disease (MOD), are summarized as follows: (1) The broad outlines of the MOD computerized system were clearly defined, along with requirements of equipment, programs, and personnel. (2) A general data- analyses vocabulary, a detailed factor catalog, and a preliminary data- extraction/collection form were developed. (3) A large file of disease (leptospirosis and hemorrhagic fevers) and related environmental data was collected for use in the data-extraction/processing efforts. (4) Prototype disease-distribution maps were produced, both manually and by a computer/plotter system.

Download or read book Health Science and Place written by Amy J. Blatt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-21 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main focus of this monograph is synthesizing the importance of geographic approaches to public health and patient care. The chapters are organized into four themed sections: the role of geography in health care reform; the geographies of human health; geospatial data and technologies; and geography in medicine. It is a highly informative book, providing scientific insight for geographers with an interest in advanced geospatial applications and health research. The author is an international expert in geography, GIS, and public health, who co-edited a special issue on “Geospatial Applications in Disease Surveillance,” published in the International Journal of Applied Geospatial Research. "Health, Science, and Place is a well-intentioned overview of medical geography in the context of the ACA. Blatt does an excellent job synthesizing ecologic and geographic literatures with what we know about individual health, health care systems, and public health. ... this book fills a need in the field by offering a timely discussion of the ACA and medical geography." - Jennifer L. Moss, The AAG Review of Books, Vol. 4 (2), 2016 “Amy Blatt’s pioneering new book on geomedicine and its exciting capacity to promote health and minimize risk is a robust call for understanding the role of geography for everyone’s quality of life. In Health, Science, and Place: A New Mode, Dr. Blatt’s contributions can be summarized in three categories: comprehensive analysis, creative curating, and targeted innovations... Overall, Dr. Blatt’s Health, Science, and Place: A New Model is a pathbreaking book challenging all public health and health communication scholars and practitioners to explore vigorously the role of medical geography as a shining new bridge between geography and patient care.” - John C. Pollock, PhD, MPA, Professor of Health Communication and Human Rights, and Faculty Affiliate in Public Health, The College of New Jersey, Ewing, NJ

Book excerpt: The MOD (Mapping of Disease) Project is an effort to: (1) characterize input data (relating to disease/environment) in such a way that they can be stored and readily retrieved in context by a computerized system which, (2) using these data can meaningfully relate the prevalence, incidence, and character of a disease to a variety of direct and indirect causal factors, always with a time and location characteristic, and (3) output the information directly in map form.

Download or read book Disease Maps written by Tom Koch and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the seventeenth century, a map of the plague suggested a radical idea—that the disease was carried and spread by humans. In the nineteenth century, maps of cholera cases were used to prove its waterborne nature. More recently, maps charting the swine flu pandemic caused worldwide panic and sent shockwaves through the medical community. In Disease Maps, Tom Koch contends that to understand epidemics and their history we need to think about maps of varying scale, from the individual body to shared symptoms evidenced across cities, nations, and the world. Disease Maps begins with a brief review of epidemic mapping today and a detailed example of its power. Koch then traces the early history of medical cartography, including pandemics such as European plague and yellow fever, and the advancements in anatomy, printing, and world atlases that paved the way for their mapping. Moving on to the scourge of the nineteenth century—cholera—Koch considers the many choleras argued into existence by the maps of the day, including a new perspective on John Snow’s science and legacy. Finally, Koch addresses contemporary outbreaks such as AIDS, cancer, and H1N1, and reaches into the future, toward the coming epidemics. Ultimately, Disease Maps redefines conventional medical history with new surgical precision, revealing that only in maps do patterns emerge that allow disease theories to be proposed, hypotheses tested, and treatments advanced.
