Detailed coverage of worldwide research on human health and
communicable diseases.
GLOBAL HEALTH (formerly called CAB Health) is an unique resource
of offering international coverage information related to
certain aspects of human health and communicable diseases. The
main areas covered include:
- tropical diseases
- parasitic diseases and parasitology
- human nutrition
- HIV and AIDS
- communicable diseases
- environmental health
- medicinal and poisonous plants
- public and community health
All documents contain in-depth indexing as an aid to retrieval
and most have informative abstracts; much of the data held in
HUMN is unique - particularly information relating to HIV and
AIDS, experimental research into nutrition, and literature from
developing countries.
Academics and researchers, post-graduate students,
pharmaceutical companies, government development agencies and
health agencies, charities and anyone with a need for access to
the world's literature on human health will find HUMN an
invaluable resource.
Use HUMN to answer questions like:
- in which countries is Leishmaniasis a particular problem?
- how do you prevent Legionnaires' Disease?
- what are the medicinal uses of culinary herbs?
- how can diet be used to treat cancer in humans?
- which water-borne diseases are most dangerous to children?
Sources:
Some 11,000 serials are covered, plus conference proceedings,
books, reports, bulletins, technical reports and reviews. Some
unpublished data in the field of AIDS research is also included.
Research from some 130 different countries is covered: 18% from
the UK; 20% from other European countries; 20% from the USA; 20%
from developing countries; and 22% from other countries.
The following CAB INTERNATIONAL hard-copy reports are derived
from the database: Abstracts on Hygiene and Communicable
Diseases; Tropical Diseases Bulletin; Current AIDS Literature;
Nutrition Abstracts and Reviews, Series A - Human and
Experimental; Review of Medical and Veterinary Mycology; Review
of Medical and Veterinary Entomology; Protozoological Abstracts;
Helminthological Abstracts; Review of Aromatic and Medicinal
Plants.

AB - Abstract
Fungal infections of the nose, throat and ears among
refugees living in Apulia, Italy were studied to evaluate
the differences (in prevalence data) from the autochthonous
population. The results indicated that fungal infections of
the nose, ears and throat among the refugees differ only
with that of the autochthonous population with respect to
the nasal prevalence of Penicillium. The presence of yeasts
(Candida) in the throat and that of moulds (Aspergillus and
Penicillium) in the nose are frequent even in the
Autochthonous population. The lack of dimorphic fungi
isolation ruled out the hypothesis of an exotic disease
importation.

AB - Abstract
This book presents detailed evaluations of the available
toxicological and other safety data on a number of
pesticides, including one new compound. The meeting devoted
particular attention to estimating the dietary intakes (both
short- and long-term) of the pesticides reviewed in relation
to their acceptable daily intakes or acute reference doses.
The pesticides include: abamectin, captan, carbaryl,
chlormequat, chlorpropham, chlorpyrifos, DDT, deltamethrin,
dinocap, dodine, fenitrothion, fenthion, fipronil, imazalil,
malathion, mevinphos, parathion, parathion-methyl,
pyrethrins, pyriproxyfen, thiabendazole and thiodicarb.

The HUMN family of databases was reloaded in November 2007, so
as to apply the latest thesaurus. There were no structural
changes to the databases at this time.
DE - DESCRIPTORS
The DE paragraph lists index terms used to describe the most
important concepts in the document. They are assigned from the CAB
thesaurus. Thesaurus terms can be searched for using the online
thesaurus.
In addition, the DE paragraph also includes 'Up-posted terms'.
These are broad categories relevant to the descriptors, providing
an overview of the hierarchy. They are only available
for certain hierarchies in the database, i.e. taxonomic groups
of organisms, geographic regions, pesticides and fertilisers.
CC - CABICODES:
These indicate the general subject categories covered by the
document. They are designed to be used in conjunction with other
descriptor terms. Codes are hierarchical and can be searched at
two, three or four characters using the hash symbol (#) for
wider retrieval. A full list of CABICODES is given online in
BASE. Search as BASE-HUMN.
KW - Keywords:
These include terms from open-ended categories - e.g. chemical
names, organisms, specific animal breeds, etc. For pre-1984 data
non-controlled descriptor terms also appear here.
SE - Subset codes:
These codes represent the subsets used by the information
provider to create their own database products. They should not
be used as an indexing tool to search the database.
LS - Language of summary in original:
Indicates the language(s) in which the author's abstract or
summary was written, except in cases where this is the same
language as the original text of the paper.
AV - Availability:
Contains the URL of the source publication, or an order number
for obtaining a copy of the original article from CAB
INTERNATIONAL's own document delivery facility.
DO - Digital object identifier:
An alternative URL for accessing original copies of the
research. Note that you usually need to be a subscriber to
access these documents.
DT - Publication date:
It is now DataStar standard to create a an eight-digit
publication date - even if a specific date is not given. In
HUMN, this paragraph will be populated in the format YYYY0000.
Search options:
..SET PLURALS ON and ..SET MEDWORD ON may be selected in HUMN.
Guides:
The full guide to CAB GLOBAL HEALTH is available online in the
BASE database - search as BASE-HUMN.
