These data illustrate a previously underreported variability of the medical risks in various maritime routes; and help promoting targeted medical interventions including the implementation of onboard point-of-care laboratories, to further increase the rapidity of the diagnosis and the medical management onboard cargo ships.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
