Inasmuch as Richards model analyzes the general trends of an epidemic (e.g., turning point, reproductive number, etc.), it can be used to fit any epidemiological time series for a given disease process, as long as the rate of change in the recorded outcome is proportional to changes in the true number of cases. keywords: data; epidemic; model; outbreak; phase; richards; time; turning cache: cord-000282-phepjf55.txt plain text: cord-000282-phepjf55.txt item: #2 of 65 id: cord-000857-2qds187e author: Richardson, Katya L title: Indigenous populations health protection: A Canadian perspective date: 2012-12-20 words: 5097 flesch: 31 summary: With a commitment to inform public health policies for the promotion of population health, Pan-InfORM has prioritized initiatives to address the challenges of community health in protecting vulnerable populations from emerging infectious diseases.

Since a scFv derived from a highly neutralizing and protective mAb is only marginally effective in the passive protection of mice from lethal viral infection, the use of such reagents for viral immunotherapy will require strategies to overcome stability limitations.

This paper applies a similar approach, in order to: (a) outline some current uncertainties related to COVID-19, and what they might mean for plausible futures for which we should prepare; and (b) list factors that we as individual faculty members and university institutions should be considering now, when planning for the future under COVID-19. keywords: covid-19; e.g.; factors; future; pandemic; planning cache: cord-348039-kl1a0au3.txt plain text: cord-348039-kl1a0au3.txt item: #62 of 65 id: cord-349348-9rnvawfa author: Cousineau, J title: Genomics and Public Health Research: Can the State Allow Access to Genomic Databases? date: 2012-05-31 words: 9256 flesch: 37 summary: Because many of these diseases are multifactorial disorders, the scientific progress in genomics and genetics must be taken into consideration in public health research (1, 6) This approach, integration of genomics into public health, requires that we: assess […] the impact of genes and their interaction with behaviour, diet, and the environment on the population's health. This definition illustrates the importance of the collective dimension of public health measures and puts forward the idea that the concept of public health is constantly evolving. keywords: act; art; genomic; health; information; measures; pandemic; population; public; public health; quebec; research; santé; state cache: cord-349348-9rnvawfa.txt plain text: cord-349348-9rnvawfa.txt item: #63 of 65 id: cord-350915-x0gn8wqv author: Oostlander, Samantha A. title: The Roles of Emergency Managers and Emergency Social Services Directors to Support Disaster Risk Reduction in Canada date: 2020-10-21 words: 5672 flesch: 42 summary: Suggested by one participant, emergency management is a broader umbrella term (EM) that includes many programs where both administrative and operational tasks are required that extend into all four phases of disaster management. Waugh and Streib (2006) argue that a lack of understanding of emergency management is one of the reasons why people think that a command and control style would strengthen emergency managements response to disasters, when in practice it interferes with a collaborative approach necessary to manage disaster operations. keywords: disaster; emergency; ems; essds; management; participants; roles; tasks cache: cord-350915-x0gn8wqv.txt plain text: cord-350915-x0gn8wqv.txt item: #64 of 65 id: cord-351204-5m1ch7ls author: Ford, James D. title: Vulnerability of Aboriginal health systems in Canada to climate change date: 2010-06-22 words: 10344 flesch: 23 summary: The special rights and needs of Aboriginal peoples have often been neglected, resulting in continued and persistent inequality which exacerbates climate change health vulnerability. Even in Nunavut, which is globally believed to be a climate change 'hot spot' and where awareness of climate change is high, health systems at a local and territorial level have not had the financial or human resources to assess or plan for climate change health impacts; poverty related issues are more pressing (Boyle and Dowlatabadi, in press; Ford et al., 2007) . keywords: aboriginal; adaptation; canada; capacity; climate change; communities; determinants; et al; ford; furgal; health; health systems; impacts; outcomes; peoples; population; risks; sensitivity; systems; vulnerability cache: cord-351204-5m1ch7ls.txt plain text: cord-351204-5m1ch7ls.txt item: #65 of 65 id: cord-355827-e38itktq author: Adisesh, Anil title: COVID-19 in Canada and the use of Personal Protective Equipment date: 2020-05-18 words: 1358 flesch: 43 summary: Contact precautions direct that in addition to the use of PPE as for 'routine practices', gloves should be used and long-sleeved gowns, where it is anticipated that clothing or forearms will be in direct contact with the patient or with potentially contaminated environmental surfaces or objects.
