1) True or False? When a new prevention measure for a disease is developed, both the incidence and prevalence of the disease will decrease over the long term. 2) In 2015, a diagnostic code for Asperger’s disease was added to the ICD-10 (a cookbook for medical disease). Prior to 2010, there was no code to assign for the condition and thus, clinicians were inaccurately diagnosing Asperger’s disease cases with “unspecified autism”. To individuals not aware of this coding scheme, it...

Excerpt: “Blood tests [for herpes] can be highly unreliable. The kind of test used to diagnose Lauren, an IgM test, has long been rejected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention but is still used by some clinicians. Meanwhile, the CDC and the US Preventive Services Task Force concur that the most widely available herpes test, called HerpeSelect, should not be used to screen asymptomatic people because of its high risk of false positives: Up to 1 in 2...
