Red Book: 2024 Report of the Committee on Infectious Diseases, 33rd Edition [Paperback] - American Academy of Pediatrics

Description

For more than 85 years, health care professionals have "referred to the Red Book" for trustworthy guidance on pediatric infectious disease prevention, management, and control. 

The new 33rd edition continues this tradition of distinction with the latest clinical guidance on the manifestations, etiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of more than 200 childhood infectious diseases. 

Find the latest information about vaccines, emerging novel diseases, diagnostic modalities, and treatment recommendations from the combined expertise of the CDC, the FDA, the NIH, and hundreds of physician contributors.

Red Book guidance spans far beyond the pediatric practice to include family medicine, emergency medicine, public health, school health, and other medical specialties.

New in the 2024 Red Book

  • All chapters were assessed for relevance in the dynamic environment that is the practice of pediatric medicine today, and every chapter has been modified since the last edition.
  • Significantly revised Discussing Vaccines With Patients and Parents chapter
  • Two new chapters on COVID-19 and Mpox have been added
  • Greatly expanded tables, figures and algorithms enable quick access to essential information 
  • The System-Based Treatment Table has been reordered so that the grouped recommendations by body system are more easily and quickly accessed.
  • Standardized approaches to disease prevention through immunizations, antimicrobial prophylaxis, and infection-control practices have been updated throughout the Red Book.
  • Reference to evidence-based policy recommendations have been updated throughout the Red Book.
  • Appropriate chapters throughout the Red Book have been updated to be consistent with 2024 AAP and CDC vaccine recommendations, CDC recommendations for immunization of health care personnel, and drug recommendations from 2024 Nelson's Pediatric Antimicrobial Therapy.
  • The Breastfeeding and Human Milk chapter was updated to align with information in the 2022 AAP policy statement on breastfeeding.
  • The listing of Codes for Commonly Administered Pediatric Vaccines, Toxoids, and Immune Globulins has been expanded.

Spatial transferability of an agent-based model to simulate Taenia ... - Parasites & Vectors

Image
Overview of approach As a first step we develop and introduce a new module into the ABM capable of representing the process of pig development of antibodies upon exposure to T. solium eggs or through maternal transmission. We then used existing datasets from two distinct previously published community intervention trials to calibrate the model and then to assess its transferability. The revised model was calibrated, following the non-local approach described above, using observed data of human taeniasis prevalence (HTP), pig cysticercosis prevalence (PCP) and pig seroincidence (PSI) obtained from eight rural villages located in the Piura region in northern Peru. The resulting calibrated parameters was then transferred to a second group of 21 geographically separate destination villages located in the same department. Baseline values and intervention impacts were simulated, and the pig seroprevalence data collected during an intervention trial in the destination villages were used to q
