Notice to Readers: Final 2003 Reports of Notifiable Diseases
The notifiable diseases tables on pages 688--696 summarize final National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System data for 2003. Final as of June 30, 2004, these data will be published in more detail in the Summary of Notifiable Diseases, United States, 2003 ( 1 ). Because no cases of anthrax, Powassan encephalitis, western equine encephalitis, paralytic poliomyelitis, or yellow fever were reported in the United States during 2003, these nationally notifiable diseases do not appear in these tables. Policies for reporting notifiable disease cases can vary by disease or reporting jurisdiction depending on case status classification (i.e., confirmed, probable, or suspected). Population estimates for the states and for Puerto Rico are from the U.S. Census Bureau as of July 1, 2002 ( 2 ). Population numbers for territories are 2002 estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau IDB Data Access---Display Mode ( 3 ). References ... [Read More]
Yellow Fever Vaccine Recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), 2002
Enhanced surveillance for systemic adverse events after yellow fever vaccination should be introduced at U.S.-certified yellow fever vaccination centers and in settings where yellow fever vaccine is administered in other countries. The majority of yellow fever vaccine administered in the United States is done through the vaccination of U.S. military personnel and their dependents. The vaccine safety profile among U.S. military personnel might not be representative of the U.S. population at large; however, this population might still serve as an excellent source of additional information in quantifying the risk for adverse events through both retrospective and prospective studies. Accordingly, the U.S. military should be encouraged to share information regarding its yellow fever vaccination program, including annual number of doses administered and substantial adverse events that might be related to yellow fever vaccine. Although neurovirulence assays among primates were required to qua ... [Read More]
Tidal Current Predictions
These pages provide a listing of the more than 2700 subordinate stations for which predictions can be made, the differences for each, and a link to the appropriate reference station. The list of subordinate stations has been broken down into states and other areas for which there are tide stations. Each state is further broken into regions for your selection. Each region will present a list of the tidal current stations in the area. These stations have been listed geographically; thus stations which are near each other will be near each other in the listing. This will make finding the location you are interested in, or a nearby station, simpler. ... [Read More]

CDC Dengue Fever Home Page - CDC Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases (DVBID)
(PDF 79KB/3 pages) ... The emergence of dengue/DHF as a major public health problem has been most dramatic in the American region. In an effort to prevent urban yellow fever, which is also transmitted by Ae. aegypti , the Pan American Health Organization organized a campaign that eradicated Ae. aegypti from most Central and South American countries in the 1950s and 1960s. As a result, epidemic dengue occurred only sporadically in some Caribbean islands during this period. The Ae. aegypti eradication program, which was officially discontinued in the United States in 1970, gradually eroded elsewhere, and this species began to reinfest countries from which it had been eradicated. In 1997, the geographic distribution of Ae. aegypti is wider than its distribution before the eradication program (Figure 1). ... [Read More]
Puerto Rico Resource Guide, National Mental Health Information Center
There, which is generally a part of the local government, may be useful. Other branches of your city or county government also may be able to help. For example, the education office might have information about help for children, and the agency for the aging might know about services for senior citizens. In addition, your family physician or area hospital may be able to make referrals. For legal advice, contact your local bar association. Also, your local library and telephone yellow pages may have resource lists for sources of help in your community. ... [Read More]

Student Abstracts: LBNL - Computer Science
When a computer network is composed of hundreds of computers it is important to keep most of the computers sharing a common set of resources to avoid moving from one computer to another searching for programs needed. In Unix-based systems using the Yellow Pages and automounting tools like the Amd Automount Daemon and Autofs can do this. With Yellow Pages, Unix computers can share resources, such as user passwords, and with automount all the users sharing the user passwords can see their same directories in any Unix computer. An OpenBSD computer was configured as a YP Master Server and NFS server. One Linux computer was set as a YP Client binding to this computer and another one was set as a YP Slave Server of the OpenBSD computer. The Linux computer that was set as a YP Slave was configured to automount using autofs from a Sun computer and using amd from the OpenBSD computer. By doing this, many common resources were shared between OpenBSD, Linux and SunOS computers. ... [Read More]
