Objectives This study extended and updated a meta-analysis of the association between exposure to dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and the risk of breast cancer. Methods We reviewed the published literature on exposure to DDE and breast cancer risk to update a meta-analysis from 2004. The total of 35 studies included 16 hospital-based case–control studies, 11 population-based case–control studies, and 10 nested case–control studies identified through...

Assessment of the Intensive Countermeasures in the 2009 Pandemic Influenza in Korea

Jin Hyuk Choi, Yunhwan Kim, Seoyun Choe, Sunmi Lee

Osong Public Health Res Perspect. 2014;5(2):101-107. Published online April 30, 2014

Objectives It is critical to implement effective multiple countermeasures to mitigate or retain the spread of pandemic influenza. We propose a mathematical pandemic influenza model to assess the effectiveness of multiple countermeasures implemented in 2009. Methods Age-specific parameters, including the transmission rate, the proportion of asymptomatic individuals, the vaccination rate, the social distancing rate, and the antiviral treatment rate are estimated using the...
