Context: Immunizations are a cornerstone of preventive care and an important consideration for team physicians caring for athletes. Evidence Acquisition: A PubMed search was performed from August 2016 through May 2017 as well as a website review of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization, and Immunization Action Coalition. Study Design: Clinical review. Level of Evidence: Level 4. Results: By keeping abreast of diseases endemic to nations to which athletes may be traveling as well as the vaccination status of the athletes, team physicians can provide appropriate advice regarding immunization and prevention of disease. Conclusion: There are a host of regularly updated reliable websites to assist the team physician in these recommendations.

This article focuses on the existing methods for tracking and restricting the spread of communicable diseases, both within United States borders and across nations. It will first describe the roles played by the United States’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization and will then explore how communicable diseases across the world are identified and monitored. This will be followed by a discussion of US and world reporting requirements and methods. Finally, the article will discuss the tactics used by the United States to control the spread of disease.

This outbreak column explores the epidemiology and infection prevention guidance on tuberculosis (TB) in the UK. The column finds that, at present, national guidance leaves UK hospitals ill-prepared to prevent nosocomial TB transmission. Reasons for this conclusion are as follows: (1) while TB is predominantly a disease that affects people with ‘social ills’, it has the potential to infect anyone who is sufficiently exposed; (2) nosocomial transmission is documented throughout history; (3) future nosocomial exposures may involve less treatable disease; and (4) current UK guidance is insufficient to prevent nosocomial transmission and is less than that advocated by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Wstęp: Wysiłkowe nietrzymanie moczu (WNM) i otyłość są problemami uznanymi przez Światową Organizację Zdrowia (World Health Organization – WHO) za choroby społeczne. Według International Continence Society 10–40% kobiet ma kłopoty z nietrzymaniem moczu (NM). Nadwaga i otyłość stanowią jeden z największych problemów zdrowotnych kobiet w okresie okołomenopauzalnym. Celem przeprowadzonych badań była analiza wpływu WNM na aktywność ruchową (AR) kobiet w zależności od masy ciała.Materiał i metody: W badaniu wzięły udział 54 kobiety w wieku 41–67 lat z WNM. Wykonano pomiary antropometryczne. Aktywność ruchowa została zbadana za pomocą kwestionariuszy autorskich. Istotność statystyczną obliczono w programie Statistica 12 testami normalności rozkładu, współczynnika korelacji oraz testami nieparametrycznymi i post-hoc.Wyniki: Średnia wieku badanych wynosiła 55 ±7 lat. Wskaźnik masy ciała (Body Mass Index – BMI) u badanych kształtował się następująco: w normie (N1) – 11 (20,4%), z nadwagą (N2) – 33 (59,2%), otyłość (N3) – 11 (20,4%); 94% (51 osób) stanowiły pacjentki o budowie ciała androidalnej, 6% (3 osoby) o gynoidalnej. Aktywność ruchową przed pojawieniem się problemów z WNM pacjentki oceniały jako tryb życia: siedzący – 12 (22,2%), aktywny – 23 (42,6%), mieszany – 19 (35,2%). Na pytanie dotyczące wpływu pojawienia się problemów z WNM na AR pacjentki odpowiadały: trochę – 13 (24,1%), umiarkowanie – 14 (25,9%), bardzo – 27 (50%). Nie wykazano różnic istotnych statystycznie w grupach N1, N2, N3 pod względem wpływu WNM na AR.Wnioski: Największą uciążliwość WNM wpływającą na AR odczuwały pacjentki z nadwagą. Nie została jednak wykazana istotna zależność w tym zakresie. W badanej grupie chorych przeważający był androidalny typ budowy ciała oceniany za pomocą wskaźnika WHR

Os objetivos desta revisão sistemática foram verificar quais são os pontos de corte para a classificação do IMC, qual é o mais utilizado e a sua aplicabilidade em estudos populacionais com idosos. A partir da base de dados BVS, os descritores utilizados para a busca foram índice de massa corporal, estado nutricional e idoso. Foram encontrados 492 artigos, e desses 21 foram excluídos por duplicação, resultando em 471. Apenas 24 atenderam os critérios de inclusão. No total, foram encontradas quatro referências distintas para classificar os pontos de corte do IMC:Lipschitz, World Health Organization, Nutrition Screening Initiative e Organização Pan Americana de Saúde. O ponto de corte do índice de massa corporal mais utilizado pela literatura é a classificação recomendada pela WHO. O IMC é utilizado com o intuito de avaliar o estado nutricional, associar com co-fatores de saúde; e relacionar seus valores e classificação com risco de morbimortalidade.Descritores: Índice de massa corporal; Estado nutricional; Idoso.The aim of this systematic review were to assess what are the cutoff points for BMI classification, which is the most used and their applicability in population studies with elderly. From the base of BVS data, the descriptors used for the search were body mass index, nutritional status and elderly. 492 articles were found, and of these 21 were excluded for duplication, resulting in 471. Only 24 met the inclusion criteria. In total, four distinct references were found to classify the BMI cutoff points: Lipschitz, World Health Organization, Nutrition Screening Initiative and the Pan American Health Organization's cutoff of body mass index most widely used in the literature is recommended classification by WHO. BMI is used in order to assess nutritional status, co-factors associated with health; and relate their values andclassification with risk of mortality.Descriptors: Body Mass Index; Nutrition status; Aged.Los objetivos de esta revisión sistemática fueron determinar cuáles son los puntos de corte para la clasificación del IMC, que es el más utilizado y su aplicación en estudios de población con edad avanzada.
