"Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance 2009 presents statistics and trends for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the United States through 2009. This annual publication is intended as a reference document for policy makers, program managers, health planners, researchers, and others who are concerned with the public health implications of these diseases. The figures and tables in this edition supersede those in earlier publications of these data. The surveillance information in this report is based on the following sources of data: (1) notifiable disease reporting from state and local STD programs; (2) projects that monitor STD prevalence in various settings, including regional Infertility Prevention Projects, the National Job Training Program, the Indian Health Service, the STD Surveillance Network, and the Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance Project; and (3) national surveys implemented by federal and private organizations. The STD surveillance systems operated by state and local STD control programs, which provide the case report data for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and chancroid, are the data sources of many of the figures and most of the statistical tables in this publication. These systems are an integral part of program management at all levels of STD prevention and control in the United States. Because of incomplete diagnosis and reporting, the number of STD cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is less than the actual number of cases occurring in the U.S. population. National summary data of case reports for other STDs are not available because they are not nationally notifiable diseases. Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance 2009 consists of four sections: the National Profile, the Special Focus Profiles, the Tables, and the Appendix. The National Profile section contains figures that provide an overview of STD morbidity in the United States. The accompanying text identifies major findings and trends for selected STDs. The Special Focus Profiles section contains figures and text that describe STDs in selected subgroups and populations that are a focus of national and state prevention efforts. The Tables section provides statistical information about STDs at county, metropolitan statistical area, regional, state, and national levels. The Appendix includes information on how to interpret the STD surveillance data used to produce this report, as well as information about Healthy People 2010 STD objectives and progress toward meeting these objectives, Government Performance and Results Act goals and progress toward meeting these goals, and STD surveillance case definitions." - p. vi ; Acknowledgments -- Foreword -- Preface -- Guide to Acronyms -- Figures in the National Profile -- Figures in the Special Focus Profiles -- Tables in the National Profile -- Census regions of the United States -- National overview of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), 2009 -- -- National Profile -- Chlamydia -- Gonorrhea -- Syphilis -- Other sexually transmitted diseases -- -- Special Focus Profiles -- STDs in women and infants -- STDs in adolescents and young adults -- STDs in racial and ethnic minorities -- STDs in men who have sex with men -- STDs in persons entering corrections facilities -- -- -- Tables -- National summary -- Chlamydia -- Gonorrhea -- Syphilis -- Chancroid -- Selected STDs -- -- Appendix: Interpreting STD Surveillance Data -- Table A1.

Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance 2011 presents statistics and trends for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the United States through 2011. This annual publication is intended as a reference document for policy makers, program managers, health planners, researchers, and others who are concerned with the public health implications of these diseases. The figures and tables in this edition supersede those in earlier publications of these data. Prior to the publication of Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance 2010, when the percentage of unknown, missing, or invalid values for age group, race/ethnicity, and sex exceeded 50% for any state, the state's incidence and population data were excluded from the tables that presented data stratified by one or more of these variables. For the states for which 50% or more of their data were valid for age group, race/ ethnicity, and sex, the values for unknown, missing, or invalid data were redistributed on the basis of the state's distribution of known age group, race/ethnicity, and sex data. Beginning with the publication of Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance 2010, redistribution methodology is not applied to any of the data. The counts presented in this report are summations of all valid data reported in reporting year 2011. Because missing data are excluded from calculations of rates by age group, race/ethnicity, and sex, incidence rates by these characteristics, particularly by race/ ethnicity for chlamydia and gonorrhea, appear somewhat lower than in previous reports. The surveillance information in this report is based on the following sources of data: (1) notifiable disease reporting from state and local STD programs; (2) projects that monitor STD positivity and prevalence in various settings, including regional Infertility Prevention Projects, the National Job Training Program, the STD Surveillance Network, and the Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance Project; and (3) other national surveys implemented by federal and private organizations.

AbstractWhen acceptance sampling plans are applied to measurement characteristics, a choice between application of a variables or an attributes sampling plan must be made. With the recent revision by the American Society for Quality Control for the American National Standards Institute of the ANSI/ASQC Z1.9 variables system and the ANSI/ASQC Z1.4 attributes system, the standards have now been matched so that it is possible to move between them. This article will discuss exploitation of the resulting synergistic relationship to achieve more rational and more effective acceptance sampling.

ZusammenfassungAuch im Lichte aktueller, infektionsimmunologischer Erkenntnisse über Entstehung und Behandlung spielen im Zeitalter der modernen Therapien einschließlich Antisepsis und Antibiotika sexuell übertragbare Erkrankungen nach wie vor, und speziell für bestimmte Risikogruppen, eine bedeutende Rolle. Die grundsätzliche Behandelbarkeit lange Zeit tödlich verlaufender Infektionen wie AIDS hat andererseits sogar vielfach zu vermehrter Sorglosigkeit geführt, wodurch nicht nur die HIV-Infektion und häufig ko-akquirierte Infektionen wie Syphilis nach wie vor wichtige Infektionskrankheiten auch in entwickelten Ländern darstellen, sondern grundsätzlich viele eindämmbare Erkrankungen z.T. auch wieder vermehrt auftreten und entsprechende Probleme bereiten. Daher ist und bleibt es unumgänglich, dass sich Ärzte und sexualmedizinisches Personal ständig auch über die Möglichkeiten der Übertragung wie der Prävention sexuell übertragbarer Krankheiten auf dem Laufenden halten.

Covert channel analysis is a critical, yet challenging, security engineering task. Despite numerous descriptions of covert channel attacks on ground-based systems and networks, such attacks have not been examined in the context of data bus protocols used in commercial space platforms hosting government payloads. Our contribution is to identify relevant concerns that have yet to be addressed in this domain, largely due to the lack of security requirements for hosted payload space applications. In this paper, we describe a policy-driven threat model and then develop hypothetical attack scenarios in the context of the MIL-STD-1553B protocol. Our initial analysis identifies several covert timing and storage channels. ; Cyber Academic Group at the Naval Postgraduate School. ; Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.

Abstract Background Knowledge and awareness concerning sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) has become the burning issue of the day. Although STDs pose serious risks to health security, there is very little literature quantifying the knowledge and awareness of these diseases and their principal socioeconomic determinants. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of different socio-economic and demographic factors on knowledge and awareness about STDs among women in Bangladesh. Methods This is a cross-sectional study using data from the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) 2011. It involves 10,996 women in six divisions of Bangladesh – Dhaka, Rajshahi, Chittagong, Barisal, Khulna and Sylhet. In this study, the percentage distribution and logistic regression model are used to identify which factors are associated with knowledge and awareness among women in Bangladesh about STDs. Results There is a significant association between geographic division (Dhaka: OR = 1.669, 95% CI = 0.89-2.10, Khulna: OR = 2.234, 95% CI = 1.2-3.2); places of residence (Rural: OR = 0.363, 95% CI = 0.20-1.08), respondent's age (20-29 years: OR = 1.331; 95% CI = 0.98-2.31); education (Primary: OR = 2.366, 95% CI = 1.98-3.1, secondary: OR = 10.089, 95% CI = 8.98-12.77, higher: OR = 20.241, 95% CI = 18.33-22.65); listening to radio (OR = 1.189, 95% CI = 1.29-3.12) and watching TV (OR = 2.498, 95% CI = 2.22-4.09) with knowledge and awareness among women in Bangladesh about STDs. Conclusion There is a need to improve the education in Bangladesh about STDs particularly among those in the rural areas and older ages of women (30-49 years). Formal, informal and special educational knowledge and awareness programmes may be implemented to educate people concerning STDs in Rajshahi, Sylhet and Chittangong division. Campaigns and mass media can be used to increase the knowledge and awareness among the community, especially among women. Policies concerning the issue of STDs need to be improved and can be emphasized in collaboration with government agencies to ensure the success of these campaigns.

"DHAP's Strategic Plan 2011-2015 (the Plan) is DHAP's blueprint for achieving its vision of a future free of HIV. The Plan reflects the Division's response to new opportunities and imperatives for HIV prevention created by critical shifts in the national, state, and local economic and policy environments, including the July 2010 release of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy for the United States (NHAS). It embodies DHAP's commitment to high-impact prevention using scalable, cost-effective interventions with demonstrated potential to reduce new infections, in the right populations, to yield a major impact on the epidemic." - http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/strategy/dhap/index.htm ; National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention Division of STD Prevention. ; "October 2008." ; "CS122488." ; Mode of access: World Wide Web as an Acrobat .pdf file (295.88 KB, 15 p.).
