Polio is an infectious disease, and it seemed to spread when children went
swimming together, for example. The NFIP study was not done blind, do
you think that this would cause a bias in the results? How? Against the
polio vaccine or for the vaccine?
Homework Answers
Answer:
Yes, this would cause a bias in the results. : Bias for the
vaccine
EXPLANATION:
Since the study was not blind, the children know who is receiving the vaccine and when the children swim together those without polio will keep away from the those who are having polio,thus making the experiment bias for the vaccine.

Imagine you work in the infectious disease department of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Recently, an unknown emerging disease has begun to spread in the United States that seems to show symptoms similar to influenza and measles. Not all people infected show all the symptoms, and current vaccinations do not prevent a person from catching the unknown disease. Apply the knowledge you know now about infectious agents and means of transmission. For this assignment: Provide a brief overview...

link in the chain of infection to prevent the spread of disease.
Which link do you think would be the easiest to break to prevent
the most recent influenza virus (H1N1) and why? Your answer must
include the name of a link on the chain and a reasonable
explanation for why that would work. Include how the flu is

Question: Suppose that a study of children who were 9 to 14-years-old found that the larger a shoe size that a child has, the higher the score they got on a mathematical skills test. One interpretation might be that increased shoe size causes improved quantification skills. What might be a confounding variable in this relationship? Question: A key task for investigating a communicable disease outbreak is characterizing the distribution of the disease. Please describe two key benefits of gathering this...

Read the following passage focusing your attention on the scientific procedures and scientific abilities illustrated in it. Think about what types of experiments (observation, testing or application) are described. Identify the hypothesis, predictions, outcomes of experiments and assumptions that appear in the passage. The standard explanation of how humans originally acquired AIDS is that HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) originally was transmitted to humans from monkeys or apes carrying SIV, simian immunodeficiency virus. How could the transmission have occurred? Several similar...

Case Study 7 A 45-year-old man went to see his doctor. He is a physical education teacher, who had done a “Tough Mudder” competition three days earlier. He had run 10 miles through mud, climbed several walls, one of which he fell down due to the fact he was slippery from all the mud, and taking an electrical volt to the head while in the water. He had felt sore for a couple of days, but you felt it was...

AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) afflicts 38 million people worldwide. Almost 3 million people died from AIDs in 2003 alone, and over 20 million have died since the epidemic began. A vaccine that could prevent or slow down the spread of this deadly disease would be a boon to the world. However, since 1981 when the first cases of AIDS were diagnosed, researchers have been unsuccessful in their attempts to develop such a vaccine. The efforts of a company called VaxGen...

Part A - SIR model for the spread of disease Overview. This part of the assignment uses a mix of theory and data to estimate the contact number c=b/k of an epidemic and hence to estimate the infection-spreading parameter b. The point is that once you know the value of b for a certain disease and population, you can use it in your model the next time there is an cpidemic, thus cnabling you to make predictions about the demand...
