amministratore — Thu, 07 Aug 2014 08:36:02 +0000

Can social media be used as a way to prevent the spread of infectious diseases? Such a question is certainly on the agenda right now, with the Ebola outbreak currently raging in West Africa and having already claimed the life of 887 people out of 1,603 casessince this March.

This epidemic is caused by a lethal but not highly contagious virus, which does not transmit just by breathing. The only way to get it is to come in contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, usually through person's mucous membranes or broken skin.

Ambivalent risk perception in health care workers

amministratore — Mon, 30 Jun 2014 17:28:53 +0000

When facing public health threats, health care professionals may behave and act like everybody else. This is the main conclusion of an analysis carried out by Anat Gesser-Edelsburg, Nathan Walter and Manfred S. Green – three experts from the TELL ME consortium – that has been published on the American Journal of Infection Control. Health care professionals are a mediating channel between health agencies and the public since they represent the health care system but are also part of the public. This mean that they are also a risk group.
