This document discusses concepts related to disease and causation, including:
1) The natural history of a disease describes its evolution over time from earliest stages to recovery, disability, or death without treatment.
2) Henle-Koch's postulates provide guidelines for establishing causation between a microbe and a disease.
3) The stages of a disease include pre-pathogenic, pathogenic, incubation period, prodromal, overt disease, defervescence, and convalescence phases.
This document provides an overview of the natural history of disease. It discusses the key concepts including the pre-pathogenesis phase where disease exists in the environment prior to infecting humans, the pathogenesis phase where the disease agent enters the host and the disease progresses, and the epidemiological triad of agent, host, and environment factors that influence disease. It also examines risk factors that increase likelihood of disease, different types of risk groups, how diseases can present along a spectrum of severity, and the iceberg concept of disease where undetected cases exceed reported cases.
Epidemiology is defined as the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in specified populations. It aims to describe disease distribution and size in human populations, identify causative factors, and provide data to plan, implement and evaluate health programs. Some key aspects of epidemiology include infectious disease epidemiology, cardiovascular epidemiology, cancer epidemiology, and environmental epidemiology. Epidemiology is used to search for disease causes, describe population health status, discover natural disease histories, and help control diseases.
This document discusses various theories of disease causation and pathogenesis. It describes old theories from Ayurveda and Chinese medicine that attributed disease to imbalances in bodily principles. It also covers the germ theory proposed by Pasteur and Koch, and the biomedical model. More recent theories recognize multifactorial causation involving genetic, social, environmental, and lifestyle factors. The pathogenesis of disease is explained as the progression from pre-pathogenesis through clinical symptoms to recovery or death. An iceberg model is used to represent the majority of hidden or subclinical cases that maintain disease prevalence.
The document discusses the iceberg phenomenon, which describes a situation where a large percentage of a problem is hidden from view. Only a small "tip of the iceberg" is apparent. It provides examples of diagnosed, undiagnosed, and wrongly diagnosed diseases as well as risk factors. Several factors can determine the size of a disease iceberg, including agent, host, and environmental factors. The iceberg concept can be useful for detecting subclinical cases, controlling disease, and understanding the natural history of disease. It also discusses how the iceberg concept can be applied to primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention strategies.
Health has multiple dimensions including physical, mental, social, spiritual, emotional, and vocational. The physical dimension concerns the functioning of the body, while the mental dimension involves flexibility and a sense of purpose in responding to life's experiences. The social dimension relates to the quality of relationships and community involvement. Other dimensions like spiritual, emotional, and vocational provide meaning, resolve conflicts, and contribute to well-being, self-esteem, and life satisfaction. Cultural, socioeconomic, educational, nutritional, and preventive/curative factors also influence health across multiple dimensions.
The document discusses the natural history of disease, which refers to the progress of a disease process in an individual over time without medical intervention.

This document discusses the dynamics of disease transmission. It defines a reservoir as any living or non-living carrier that harbors an infectious agent. It identifies humans and animals as important reservoirs that can be clinical cases, subclinical carriers, or latent carriers. Diseases are transmitted either directly from person to person via contact or droplets, or indirectly via vectors like flies or fomites. A susceptible host is one that can be infected through a portal of entry, have the disease incubate at a site of election, and potentially transmit through a portal of exit if their immunity is low enough.
Epidemiology is the study of disease distribution and determinants in populations. Descriptive epidemiology involves describing disease patterns, while analytical epidemiology tests hypotheses about disease determinants. A case-control study compares exposures in individuals with (cases) and without (controls) a disease to identify potential risk factors. It proceeds backwards from effect to cause by first identifying cases and then finding controls to measure past exposures, which are then analyzed using measures like odds ratios.

The document also introduces several important historical figures who contributed to the understanding and practice of medicine.
This document discusses epidemics and their management. It defines epidemics and outlines three types: common source, propagated, and slow or modern. The severity of an epidemic depends on environmental conditions, host population characteristics, and human behavior. Managing epidemics involves forecasting, investigating, controlling, and preventing future occurrences. Forecasting allows preparation, while investigation identifies causes and transmission. Control relies on removing infection sources and preventing transmission. Prevention emphasizes hygiene, vaccination, and environmental measures. Preparedness is key to effectively managing epidemics.
Natural history of disease describes the typical course a disease takes from exposure to outcome without treatment intervention. It includes induction time, incubation period, latency, stages of subclinical and clinical disease, and possible outcomes of recovery, disability, or death. Spectrum of disease refers to the full range of manifestations a disease can take in a population from precursor to severe states depending on interactions between host, agent, and environment factors. Studying natural history and spectrum is important for disease prevention by identifying appropriate intervention stages.

The document discusses principles of disease prevention and control, describing the epidemiologic triangle of agent, host, and environment factors in disease transmission. It explains the stages of disease from susceptibility to recovery and the types of prevention for each stage - primary prevention aims to reduce new occurrences, secondary prevention reduces duration and severity, and tertiary prevention minimizes complications. Examples are given for prevention and control strategies across communicable and non-communicable diseases.
This document discusses the epidemic process and characteristics of infectious diseases. It defines the epidemic process as the rise and spread of infectious diseases among people. Infectious diseases are caused by the interaction between an infectious agent and susceptible host. They have an incubation period and cause immunity after infection in most cases. The document outlines the components of the epidemic process including infectious agents, transmission factors, and susceptible hosts. It also describes characteristics of infectious agents such as infectivity, pathogenicity, and virulence. Carriers are defined as those who spread infectious organisms without showing symptoms. The classification of diseases as acute, chronic, or subacute is also explained.
Infection occurs when a microbe lodges and multiplies in the tissues of a host. Ranges of relationships between microbes and hosts include saprophytes, parasites, and commensals. Several factors predispose to microbial pathogenicity, including adhesion, invasiveness, and toxigenicity. Infections can be classified as acute or chronic, primary or secondary, localized or systemic, and clinical or subclinical. Six links must be present for an infection to spread: a portal of entry, a susceptible host, a causative agent, a reservoir, a portal of exit, and a mode of transmission. Microbes can be transmitted through various methods including direct or indirect contact, inhalation, ingestion

infection and inflammation. adult healthDishaThakur53
This document discusses infection and inflammation. It defines infection as the colonization of a host by microbes that seek to use the host's resources to reproduce, often resulting in disease. Infections are classified based on their causative agent and symptoms. Acute inflammation is an immediate response to tissue injury and involves vascular changes like increased blood flow and permeability, resulting in redness and warmth as fluid and cells move into tissues, seen as swelling. This allows migration of leukocytes like neutrophils to the site of infection or injury.
Natural history of disease describes the typical progression and course of a disease from exposure to outcome without treatment. It has phases like incubation, latency and manifestation. Spectrum of disease refers to the full range of manifestations from mild to severe cases. Understanding natural history and spectrum is important for disease prevention and appropriate intervention. Many infections may be asymptomatic or undiagnosed, represented by the "iceberg phenomenon", yet still capable of transmission, so control measures target all potentially transmissible cases.
The document outlines key concepts related to infection including definitions, classifications, and principles of infection prevention. It defines infection, disease, and infectious disease and describes acute versus chronic infections. It also covers classifications such as primary/secondary infections and local/systemic infections. The chain of infection and its six links - reservoir, portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry, and susceptible host - are explained. Methods of preventing infection by breaking the chain are also summarized.

The document discusses different levels of disease occurrence and the natural history of disease. It describes diseases as occurring at expected levels (endemic, hyper-endemic, sporadic) or in excess of expected levels (epidemic, outbreak, pandemic). The natural history of disease begins with exposure, progresses through pre-symptomatic and clinical stages, and ends with recovery, disability or death. It also describes three levels of prevention: primary prevention aims to promote health and prevent exposure/disease; secondary prevention detects and treats disease early to prevent complications; and tertiary prevention limits disability and facilitates rehabilitation.
This document summarizes the key aspects of communicable diseases and their transmission cycles. It discusses the epidemiological triad of agent, host, and environment. It explains the natural history of diseases and how they are transmitted from reservoirs to hosts through various routes of exit and entry. It also covers the incubation period, types of disease occurrence, and the importance of epidemiological investigations in outbreaks. The goal is to understand disease transmission and implement appropriate prevention and control measures.
The document discusses the "iceberg phenomenon" in diseases, where only a small visible portion (the tip of the iceberg) of total cases are clinically apparent. The larger submerged part represents subclinical or unrecognized cases. Screening surveys can help detect these hidden cases. Infectious diseases often demonstrate this iceberg pattern, with many subclinical infections, while non-infectious diseases usually present fewer hidden cases. The iceberg model helps understand the natural history and spread of disease in a population, and can inform control programs. Epidemiologists explore the submerged part to better characterize disease distribution and determinants.
This document provides an overview of infectious diseases. It begins with definitions of key terms like infection, pathogens, and hosts. It then covers classifications of diseases, stages of infectious diseases, and epidemiological aspects. It discusses the transmission of diseases and important historical figures like Koch. It also outlines different types of pathogens, how diseases are produced, and virulence factors. The document concludes with sections on laboratory diagnosis and principles of antibacterial therapy.
This document provides an introduction to communicable disease epidemiology. It defines key terms like communicable disease, reservoirs of infection, modes of transmission, and incubation period. It outlines the epidemiologic triad of agent, host, and environment. It explains the cycle of infection and the various components that must be present for a disease to spread, including a reservoir, mode of transmission, susceptible host, and portal of entry/exit. It also covers types of immunity, disease prevention and control methods like vaccination and isolation, and differentiates between control, elimination and eradication. As an example, it analyzes MERS-CoV and identifies its reservoir, mode of transmission, incubation period and recommended prevention measures.
5- Introduction to Communicable Disease.pptssuser2b23a31
This document provides an introduction to communicable disease epidemiology. It defines key terms like communicable disease, reservoirs of infection, modes of transmission, and incubation period. It describes the epidemiologic triad of agent, host, and environment and illustrates the cycle of infection. It explains the types of immunity and different reservoirs, portals of entry/exit, and transmission routes. It also outlines measures to prevent and control communicable diseases, like immunization, isolation, and targeting different parts of the infection chain. As an example, it analyzes MERS-CoV and identifies its reservoir, transmission modes, incubation period, and recommended prevention strategies.
Infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, protozoa and fungi. Each infectious disease is caused by a specific microorganism. Diseases can be transmitted from sick to healthy individuals. Infectious diseases also follow cyclic patterns.
The progression of an infectious disease involves several periods: incubation period where the pathogen multiplies without symptoms; prodromal period with general symptoms as the pathogen increases; illness period with most severe symptoms; decline period as pathogen levels decrease; and convalescence period as the individual recovers. Laboratory diagnosis involves direct detection of pathogens or indirect detection through antibodies and allergens. Treatment considers the individual, involves lifestyle changes and uses specific and symptomatic drugs.
Natural History and Spectrum of Disease lecture 4.pptsamwel18
The document discusses the natural history and spectrum of disease. It explains key concepts like latent period, infectious period, incubation period, infectivity, pathogenicity, and virulence. It also discusses the challenges these concepts pose for clinicians and public health workers. The baseline level of a disease in a community is explained, as well as different patterns like endemic, epidemic, and pandemic levels. Factors that can cause epidemics are outlined.

Elasticity vs. State? Exploring Kafka Streams Cassandra State StoreScyllaDB
kafka-streams-cassandra-state-store' is a drop-in Kafka Streams State Store implementation that persists data to Apache Cassandra.
By moving the state to an external datastore the stateful streams app (from a deployment point of view) effectively becomes stateless. This greatly improves elasticity and allows for fluent CI/CD (rolling upgrades, security patching, pod eviction, ...).
It also can also help to reduce failure recovery and rebalancing downtimes, with demos showing sporty 100ms rebalancing downtimes for your stateful Kafka Streams application, no matter the size of the application’s state.
As a bonus accessing Cassandra State Stores via 'Interactive Queries' (e.g. exposing via REST API) is simple and efficient since there's no need for an RPC layer proxying and fanning out requests to all instances of your streams application.

1. CONCEPT OF DISEASE
• A condition of the body or some part
or organ of the body in which its
functions are deranged.
• It is a mal-adjustment of human
organism to the environment.
• I t is deviation from normal function.
2.
3. CONCEPT OF CAUSATION
• DEMONISTIC THEORY
• DEVILISITIC THEORY
• TRIDOSHAS THEORY
• FOUR HUMOURS THEORY
• YANG and YIN Principles
• GERM THEORY - Louis Pasteur, Robert Koch
• EPIDEMIOLOGICAL TRIAD
• MULTI FACTORIAL THORY – Web of disease
causation, Wheel of causation
4. Henle-Koch’s Postulates
1. The agent should be present in every
case of the disease under appropriate
condition
2. The agent should not be present in any
other disease as a fortuitous and Non-
Pathogenic agent
3. The agent must be isolated from the
body of the individual in pure culture
4. It should induce disease in a new
susceptible experiment animal
5.
6. NATURAL HISTORY OF DISEASE
• IT IS THE WAY IN WHICH A DISEASE
EVOLVES OVER TIME FROM THE
EARLIEST STAGE OF ITS
PREPATHOGENESIS PHASE TO ITS
TERMINATION AS RECOVERY,
DISABILITY OR DEATH, IN THE
ABSENCE OF TREATMENT OR
PREVENTION
7. NATURAL HISTORY OF DISEASE
• PRE-PATHOGENIC PHASE OR
SUSCEPTIBILITY STAGE
• PATHOGENIC PHASE
1. INCUPATION PERIOD
2. PRODROMAL STAGE
3. STAGE OF OVERT DISEASE
4. STAGE OF DEFERVESCENCE
5. STAGE OF CONVALESCENCE
9. TYPE OF INFECTION
• Latent infection
• Sub-clinical infection or
inapparent or occult
• Atypical infection
• Severe clinical infection
10. Factors for development or spread
of infectious disease
• An etiological agent responsible for the disease
should be present
• There should be a reservoir or carrier for the
etiological agent to survive
• The infecting agent should be able to escape
from the reservoir of infection through the portal
of exit
• There should be a possible source of entry to
transmit the agent to a new susceptible host
• The agent should be able to invade the new host
• The host should be susceptible
11. Background
• Infectious disease epidemiology
– the occurrence of infectious disease in a given host is
dependent on the presence of disease in other members of the
population and the length of time that infected hosts are able to
transmit disease to others
– understanding these characteristics of a
disease allow us to develop rational measures to control disease
12. Definition & Stages
• Definition ; The course of a disease from onset
(inception) to resolution.
• Stages
Progress to a fatal termination
Stage of
Pre-symptomatic Clinically
pathologic Remission and relapses
stage manifest disease
onset
Regress spontaneously,
leading to recovery
Risk Factors Precursors Effect of Treatment Prognostic factor
13. Risk factor
• Risk factor; An aspect of personal behavior or life style,
an environmental exposure, or an inborn or inherited
characteristic, that, in the basis of epidemiologic
evidence, is known to be associated with health-related
condition (s) considered important to prevent.
– Risk marker; increased probability of a specified
outcome; not necessarily a causal factor
– Determinant; can be modified by intervention,
thereby reducing the probability of occurrence of
disease or other specified outcomes
14. The Natural history of disease in a patient
Preclinical Phase Clinical Phase
(A) (P) (S) (M) (D) (T)
• A ; Biologic onset of disease
• P ; Pathologic evidence of disease if Sought

17. • Latent period
the time interval from infection to development of
infectiousness
• Infectious period
the time during which time the host can infect another
susceptible host
• Non-infectious period
the period when the host’s ability to transmit disease to
other hosts ceases
• Incubation period
the time interval between infection to development of
clinical disease
18. • e.g : Chicken pox
– an infectious disease caused by the varicella-
zoster virus
– the latent period for chicken pox is shorter than
the incubation period, so a child with chicken pox
becomes infectious to others before developing
symptoms

– the stages of the parasite that are infective to
mosquitoes occur about 10 days after the
development of symptoms
– latent period is around 10 days longer than the
incubation period, so early treatment of
symptoms could have an important effect on
transmission

Disease
• Definition; "Interval between exposure to a disease-
causing agent and the appearance of manifestations
of the disease"
• cf. incubation period in infectious disease
1) brief exposure
Two conditions
2) prolonged or continuous exposure
25. Primary Prevention
• 'Preventing the occurrence of disease or injury by
modifying risk factors.'
• 'Various aspects are considered to produce
effective primary prevention program. Especially,
advancing knowledge of disease causation must
be required.‘
26. Primary Prevention
• ** Guidelines for effective prevention programs(RB Wallace,
GD Everett,1986)
– Programs must be based on scientific evidence.
– Prevention programs should be supported by effective data
system.
– Programs should be flexible.
– Programs must be sensitive to ethical issues.
– Programs should be targeted to the recipients most in need.
– Programs should muster a variety of community resources.
– Effective prevention requires legislative action and social policy
decisions.
– Programs should be continuous.
27. Primary Prevention
• General health promotion
– 'Proper nutrition, mental hygiene, adequate housing, and appropriate
balance between work and play, est and exercise, and useful and
productive place in society, are among the best recognized factors
ontributing to maintenance of optimum health.(Commission on Chronic
illness, USA, 1957)‘
• Specific protection
• Health Promotion
– 'Health promotion is any combination of educational, organizational,
economic, and environmental supports for behavior and conditions of
living conducive to health (LW Green, 1992).'
28. Criteria for the Development of Health
Promotion and Education Programs
• A health promotion program should address one or more risk
factors which are carefully defined, measurable, modifiable,
and prevalent among the members of a chosen group, factors
which constitute a threat to the health status and the quality
of life of target group members.
• A health promotion program should reflect a consideration of
the special characteristics, needs, and preferences of its
target groups(s)
From APHA Technical Report
29. Criteria for the Development of Health
Promotion and Education Programs
• health promotion programs should include interventions which will clearly
and effectively reduce a targeted risk factor and are appropriate for a
particular setting
• A health promotion program should identify and implement interventions
which make optimum use of available resources.
• From the outset, a health promotion program should be organized,
planned, and implemented in such a way that its operation and effects can
be evaluated.

- Isolation by fibrocyte
- Macrophage phagocytosis
- Antibody reaction
Immunization a way to increase the internal
defence mechanism
70. The natural history and spectrum of disease challenges to the clinician
and to the public health worker
To the clinician
Because of cases diagnosed by clinicians in the community often represent only the “tip
of the iceberg”, it is important to do the “case finding” and report it to the public
health worker
To the public health worker
While searching the rest of the cases, they should prevent disease transmission and
outbreak

SUB CLINIC CURE
The proportion of sub clinical patients are greater in number than the
patients with complete symptoms
This portion should be early detected, because it has the capability of

74. AGENT CHARACTERISTIC
1. Natural characteristics of the agent
The morphology, physiology, reproduction, motility, metabolism, need of oxygen ,
temperature, production of toxin, antigen, living cycle, reaction against
physical and chemical substance
2. Characteristic of the agent related to infection in human
a. infectivity
b. pathogenicity
c. virulence
d. antigenicity
e. tropism
75. 3. Reservoir of agent
4. Portal of entry and portal of exit
5. The incubation period
6. The spread of the disease
7. Natural cycle of infection
76. INFECTIVITY
The ability of agent to attack, adapt, live and multiplicate in the host
PATHOGENICITY
The ability of agent to produce a local or general reaction in the host
VIRULENCE
The ability to elicit a severe clinical manifestation
77. ANTIGENICITY
The agent’s ability to stimulate host production of antibody such as agglutinin,
opsonin, precipitin, antitoxin, lysine, complement fixating substance,etc.
Disease with high antigenicity can be prevented by immunization
Example :
• Typhoid fever, morbili : highly antigenic
• Tuberculosis : doubtful
• Influenza virus has lots of strain :
rather difficult to develop an effective vaccine
78. Agent with high infectivity and pathogenicity but low antigenicity will cause a
relatively high disease prevalence in the community
Agent with high infectivity but low pathogenicity usually produce a mild or sub clinical
symptom and carrier
TROPISM
The agent preference to attack and stay in special location in the host
• Cholera : digestive tract
• Staphylococcus : mostly in the skin
• Herpes zoster : nerve system
• Poliomyelitis : anterior-horn cells of spinal cord
79. HERD IMMUNITY
The immunity of a group of people / community.
The resistance of a group to invasion and spreading of an infectious agent
based on the resistance to infection of a high proportion of individual members of the
group.
The herd immunity reduces the susceptibility to infection or can resist a communicable
disease epidemic.
The higher herd immunity the higher the power to defence of an epidemic
occurrence.
80. The high incidence of communicable disease can be due to :
the high proportion of the susceptible individual
or the low portion of herd immunity in
the population
The practical aspect of the concept of herd immunity : the necessity of
immunization program for the whole population to prevent the occurrence of an
epidemic
81. RESERVOIR
Habitat in which an infectious agent normally lives, grows and multiplies
1. HUMAN RESERVOIR
2. ANIMAL RESERVOIR
3. ENVIRONMENTAL RESERVOIR
82. 1. Human reservoir
- Persons with symptomatic illness
- Carrier
Carrier : a person without apparent disease who is nonetheless capable of transmitting
the agent to others
a. Asymptomatic carrier (never show symptoms during the
time they are infected)
b. Incubatory / convalescent carrier (who are capable of transmission
before or after they are clinically ill)
c. Chronic carrier (who continues to harbor an
agent)
83. 2. Animal reservoir
Infectious disease that are transmissible under normal conditions from animals to human
are called zoonoses
• Dog, cat, ape : rabies
• Rat : rat bite fever, plaque, leptospirosis
• Cattle : sheep, goat, camel, cow, pig
(anthrax, brucellosis, bovine tuberculosis, tularemia,
ring worm)
• Arthropode : flies, cockroach, mosquito
85. PORTAL OF ENTRY AND PORTAL OF EXIT
The path by which an agent enters of leaves the source host.
Usually corresponds to the site at which the agent is localized.
It is necessary to understand about it because it related to how the disease being
transmitted in other way we can assume how the prevention of the disease.
86. Portal of entry
- digestive tract
- respiratory tract
- skin
- genital
- eye
- blood vessel system
The portal exit seem to be the same with the portal entry, sometimes some disease
have other way of exit beside the former way.
Hepatitis infectiosa, typhus abdominalis :
beside come out by fecal also can be detected in urine and blood.
87. TRANSMISSION
4 transmission ways :
1. Contact transmission
a. Direct transmission :
by mucous contact
e.g. genital-genital, oral-genital, oral-oral
b. Indirect :
hand-mouth, droplet transmission
88. 2. Vehicle transmission
- Transmission by common vehicle :
food, fluid, milk, blood, serum, vaccine
- The agent can be transmitted by ingestion, injection or
inoculation
3. Vector transmission
The arthropods have a role in this transmission
4. Air borne
- droplet nuclei
- dust

92. Theoretically, the spreading of the disease can be stopped by cutting off every step
of the disease phase.
The principle of communicable disease control is to cut off the chain of transmission
of the disease.
Example :
1. To cut the connection between the reservoir and
the host (contact person) by :
• individual hygiene
• environmental sanitation
2. To increase the defense mechanism by :
• immunization
• nutrition
3. In case the colonization has been occurred :
• early diagnosis & prompt treatment
• screening : malaria, STD, HIV-AIDS
93. IMPLICATION
FOR PUBLIC HEALTH
By knowing how an agent exits and enters a host, and what its modes of
transmission are, we can determine appropriate control measures, including
prevention methods
FOR CLINICAL/HOSPITAL SETTING
Patients may be treated and/or isolated with appropriate
“precautions”

106. PREVENTION APPROACHES
Population-Based Approach:
• Preventive measure widely applied to
an entire population (public health
approach)
• Strive for small absolute change
among many persons
• Must be relatively inexpensive and
non-invasive
107. PREVENTION APPROACHES
High-Risk Approach:
• Target group of individual at high risk
• Strive for strong risk factor control
• Often times requires clinical action to
identify the high risk group and to
motivate risk factor control.
