Design Population‐based observational cohort. Setting Urban suburban communities throughout the contiguous United States. Participants Individuals aged 50 who participated Health Retirement Survey 2004 2010 (N = 11,065). Measurements Frequency...
Objective This longitudinal study aimed to measure precarious employment in the US using a multidimensional indicator. Methods We used data from National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1988–2016) and Occupational Information Network database create score (PES) among 7568 employed individuals over 18 waves (N=101 290 observations). identified 13 survey indicators operationalize 7 dimensions employment, which we included our PES (range: 0–7, with indicating most precarious): material rewards,...
Trichomonas vaginalis is an underestimated sexually transmitted infection (STI) associated with numerous clinical sequelae. The true prevalence and impact of trichomoniasis are unknown, as current methods detection exhibit poor sensitivity compared to molecular amplification methods. Limited data exist comparing the BD Affirm VPIII hybridization assay Gen-Probe Aptima T. (ATV) transcription-mediated (TMA) for vaginalis. In this study, specimens from 766 patients were evaluated. Specimens...
Suicide is a critical public health problem around the globe. Asian populations are characterized by elevated suicide rates and tendency to seek social support from family friends over mental professionals. Gatekeeper training programs have been developed train frontline individuals in behaviors that assist at-risk obtaining treatment. The purpose of this study assess efficacy brief, multi-component gatekeeper intervention promoting prevention high-risk community United States. We adapted an...

The clinical consequences of co-infection with two or more respiratory viruses are poorly understood. We sought to determine if pandemic 2009-2010 influenza A H1N1 (pH1N1) and another virus was associated worse outcomes. retrospective cohort study performed all hospitalized patients a positive viral panel (RVP) for within 72 hours admission at our institution from October 2009 December 2009. compared infected one those co-infection. identified 617 inpatients RVP sample single 49 (i.e....
Abstract The working lives of Americans have become less stable over the past several decades and older adults may be particularly vulnerable to these changes in employment quality (EQ). We aimed develop a multidimensional indicator EQ among identify retirement trajectories United States. Using longitudinal data on stability, material rewards, workers’ rights, working-time arrangements, unionization, interpersonal power relations from Health Retirement Study (HRS), we used principal...
(i) Evaluation of delayed time to blood culture extraction by the Sepsityper kit and impact shipping pellets off-site for MALDI-TOF MS analysis. (ii) Comparison laboratory-developed methods from a literature review. Using two systems (BD BACTEC VersaTREK), we extracted 411 positive cultures using mimic potential protocol institutions without MS. Extracted were shipped analysed on Bruker UltraflexIII. Successful 358 (87·1%) samples was determined presence detectable proteins. correctly...
Multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction respiratory viral panel (RVP) testing offers enhanced test performance characteristics compared with older methods. However, the impact of RVP on physician antimicrobial prescription practices remains unclear. Our objective was to assess potential relationship treatment for children hospitalized acute illness (ARI).We performed a retrospective chart review ARI during peak prevalence infections in 2009-2011. Demographics, diagnostic testing, use,...
Abstract Objective There is growing recognition that precarious employment an important determinant of health, which may increase BMI through multiple mechanisms, including stress. It was investigated whether increases in were associated with changes the United States. Methods Data from National Longitudinal Survey Youth adult cohort (1996–2016) ( N = 7280). Thirteen indicators identified to operationalize seven dimensions (range: 0–7, 7 indicating most precarious): material rewards,...
In the United States, inequities in mental distress between those more and less educated have widened over recent years. Employment quality, a multidimensional construct reflecting relational contractual features of employer-employee relationships, may mediate this inequity throughout adulthood, yet no study has examined extent mediation or how it varies across racialized gendered populations.
Background Differences in clinical presentation and outcomes among patients infected with pandemic 2009 influenza A H1N1 (pH1N1) compared to other respiratory viruses have not been fully elucidated. Methodology/Principal Findings retrospective study was performed of all hospitalized at the peak pH1N1 season whom a single virus detected by molecular assay targeting 18 viruses/subtypes (RVP, Luminex xTAG). Fifty-two percent (615/1192) from October, December, had (291 pH1N1; 207 rhinovirus; 45...
