Epidemiology
is the branch of medicine which deals with the incidence, distribution, and
possible control of diseases and other factors relating to health.
Biostatistics is the application of statistics to a wide range of topics in
biology. This book combines the disciplines of medical epidemiology,
biostatistics, preventive medicine, and public health in one convenient
resource. This book presents the information you need with a clinical focus,
using reallife medical examples throughout. It will serve as a top review
source for its core specialty. This book grasps and keeps vital information,
succinct text, and dynamic illustrations that facilitate learning in a highly
visual approach. It deepens the understanding of complex epidemiology and
biostatistics concepts through clinically focused, reallife examples. It keeps
up with the very latest in preventive health areas. It consists of
contributions made by international experts. This book will give immense
pleasure to the reader and is a good companion to the students and research
scholars alike. Scientists and students of this field, in general, will find
this book valuable.
Phil
Vaughan During his graduate career, worked with Dr. Todd Thiele at the
University of Georgia, where he studied about the Epidemiology. In his first postdoctoral
position, he worked in the laboratory of Dr. Antonello Bonci at the University
of Georgia, where he learned causation and transmission of diseases. His final
postdoctoral position was in the laboratory of Dr. Garret Stuber at the
University of Georgia. Here he learned outbreak investigation, disease
surveillance, forensic epidemiology, occupational epidemiology, screening,
biomonitoring, and comparisons of treatment effects such as in clinical trials.
he relies on other scientific disciplines like biology to better understand
disease processes, statistics to make efficient use of the data and draw
appropriate conclusions, social sciences to better understand proximate and
distal causes, and engineering for exposure assessment. As public health/health
protection practitioners, he works in a number of different settings. He
sometimes works in the field, in the community, commonly in a public
health/health protection service and at the forefront of investigating and
combating disease outbreaks.
