  1. Hi my name is Avery Fox. And the assignment this week was to develop a timeline
  2. depicting foundational and emerging emerging practices informing the field
  3. of epidemiology and its impact on public health.
  4. Starting with the timeline, we have
  5. the chinese developed theories.
  6. Hippocrates observations.
  7. Gerald Lamont,
  8. storro
  9. spores,
  10. thomas, siding, ham disease classification,
  11. Jon snow,
  12. cholera,
  13. louis Pasteur, germ theory,
  14. polio vaccine and HIV and AIDS.
  15. Starting when the chinese started to started to develop theories as early as 4 76 Bc.
  16. During the warring states,
  17. during an era of war,
  18. china began developing theories on epidemiological diseases.
  19. Though lacking a scientific understanding of infectious diseases,
  20. people in china integrated a response system,
  21. vaccine methods and control mechanisms.
  22. Hippocrates Observations.
  23. Hippocrates is widely considered the father of modern medicine.
  24. After his observation of a relationship between
  25. disease and the physical environment since 400 BC
  26. drug Lamont
  27. Castoro.
  28. In 1546, he published day contagion,
  29. which pointed out the specific character of fevers
  30. and proposed that the infection resulted from spores.
  31. He also identified several diseases that were spread by certain contagion,
  32. such as rabies, measles and syphilis.
  33. Next thomas side in ham,
  34. In 1676, he posited in his medical observations
  35. that doctors should be able to classify symptoms of diseases.
  36. He was also the first to describe scarlet fever
  37. and introduced a solution of opium for pain relief.
  38. Next Jon snow.
  39. In the 19th century
  40. Cholera was a global scourge causing frequent epidemics in European cities.
  41. In 1850. for
  42. Jon Snow concluded that cholera was a specific
  43. disease transmitted via water contaminated by feces.
  44. Snow's discoveries reinforce the sanitation movement,
  45. which reduce threats of various waterborne diseases through developed sewage
  46. drainage systems and water purification systems.
  47. Next louis Pasteur
  48. Before the establishment of the germ theory,
  49. scientists thought that germs were created by decaying matter
  50. namely through spontaneous generation.
  51. In 1861,
  52. arguably the most significant epidemiological discovery throughout history.
  53. He established the germ theory.
  54. The germ theory posited that germs or microbes in the air caused decay.
  55. Next, the polio vaccine
  56. in 1950, for John Salk discovered and tested the polio vaccine,
  57. Alfred Saban developed a later vaccine,
  58. able to administer orally on a sugar lump to Children
  59. and was economical to produce.
  60. Finally, HIV and AIDS
  61. in the early 1980s, HIV was a mysterious disease affecting the immune system,
  62. killing thousands of people
  63. in 1983 robert gallo and look mansion in there and the french ceos bar
  64. proceed independently isolated HIV that causes AIDS
  65. synthesis of epidemiological history.
  66. Epidemiology has a lengthy progressive history
  67. with the beginning of chinese discoveries in East Asia
  68. and Hippocrates, observations in the West.
  69. The use of epidemiological tools have helped make tremendous
  70. strides in the effectiveness of public health efforts.
  71. Ultimately,
  72. epidemiological tools have helped save lives
  73. through observations of sports contagion cholera,
  74. germs, polio, HIV and more and subsequent new discoveries,
  75. Prevention and control mechanisms
  76. considering the history of epidemiology based on historical trends.
  77. I hypothesized the two following future trends and epidemiology.
  78. One,
  79. a focus on epidemiological efforts on modern public
  80. health issues such as obesity and heart disease,
  81. and to a focus on social determinants of health and disease.
