Background. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a leading cause of congenital illness and disability, including hearing loss mental retardation. However, there are no nationwide estimates CMV seroprevalence among pregnant women or the overall population United States.
Background. Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection causes permanent disabilities in more than 5500 children each year the United States. The likelihood of congenital and disability is highest for infants whose mothers were CMV seronegative before conception who acquire during pregnancy. Methods. To provide a current, nationally representative estimate seroprevalence States to investigate trends infection, serum samples from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999–2004...
Abstract Background Each year in the United States, an estimated 40,000 children are born with congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, causing 400 deaths and leaving approximately 8000 permanent disabilities such as hearing or vision loss, mental retardation. More affected by serious CMV-related than several better-known childhood maladies, including Down syndrome, fetal alcohol spina bifida. Discussion Congenital CMV is a prime target for prevention not only because of its substantial...
Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a leading cause of developmental disabilities. In the United States during period 1988-1994, approximately one-quarter congenital CMV infections were attributable to primary maternal (n = 8772), and three-quarters non-primary 29,918). Effective prevention strategies need be developed for both infections.
Abstract Background Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common opportunistic infection among HIV-infected individuals, major source of serious complications organ-transplant recipients, and leading cause hearing loss, vision mental retardation congenitally infected children. Women for the first time during pregnancy are especially likely to transmit CMV their fetuses. More children suffer disabilities caused by congenital than several better-known childhood maladies such as Down syndrome or fetal...
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), the causal agent of Kaposi's sarcoma, is transmitted sexually among homosexual men, but little known its transmission women. Although HHV-8 has been detected in blood, there no clear evidence blood-borne transmission.
CDC has developed interim guidelines for health care providers in the United States who are caring infants born to mothers traveled or resided an area with Zika virus transmission during pregnancy. These include recommendations testing and management of these infants. Guidance is subject change as more information becomes available; latest information, including answers commonly asked questions, can be found online (http://www.cdc.gov/zika). Pediatric should work closely obstetric identify...
Significance Natural products form the basis for most drugs in clinical use. Advances genome sequencing and bioinformatic tools have revealed thousands of biosynthetic gene clusters encoding these products. However, linking natural identified by mining to their corresponding untargeted metabolomics data remains a key challenge. Here we present platform, DeepRiPP, which integrates genomic metabolomic automate discovery new ribosomally synthesized posttranslationally modified peptides (RiPPs),...

OBJECTIVE To assess retention in the National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) lifestyle change program, which seeks to prevent type 2 diabetes adults at high risk. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We analyzed among 41,203 individuals who enrolled Centers for Disease Control and (CDC)-recognized in-person programs organizations that submitted data CDC’s Recognition during January 2012–February 2017. RESULTS Weekly attrition rates were typically <1–2% but between 3.5% 5% week weeks 17 18,...
For women of reproductive age, a population-level red blood cell (RBC) folate concentration below the threshold 906 nmol/L or 400 ng/mL indicates insufficiency and suboptimal neural tube defect (NTD) prevention. A corresponding population plasma/serum for optimal NTD prevention has not been established.The aim this study was to examine association between plasma RBC concentrations estimated (pf-IT) (RBCf-IT) nmol/L.We analyzed data on age (n = 1673) who participated in population-based,...
The aim of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) is to make an evidence-based lifestyle change program widely available more than 88 million American adults at risk developing type 2 diabetes. DPP allows delivery using four modes: in person, online, distance learning, combination. objective this study was analyze cumulative enrollment by mode. We included all participants who enrolled CDC-recognized organizations...
Men in racial and ethnic minority groups are less likely than non-Hispanic White men to participate programs designed improve health, despite having a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes. We sought understand 1) the interests preferences men, with or at risk for diabetes, health 2) factors that influence participation practices. 43-question web-based survey on facilitators barriers healthy living program. The was administered from August 27, 2019, through September 3, 2019. Our analytic...
