Dysuria is one of the most common presenting complaints young women, and urinalysis laboratory tests performed. Despite fact that midstream clean-catch technique commonly used for urine collection, contaminated cultures occur with distressing regularity. The time-consuming to explain, frequently not performed correctly by patients, costly supplies, often embarrassing patients staff, unproven benefit. Therefore, we designed a study compare various methods obtaining specimens culture from...
One patient received an injection on March 1 but did not develop symptoms and seek medical care until the first week of May.This
Abstract Background: In March 2017, the New Jersey Department of Health received reports 3 patients who developed septic arthritis after receiving intra-articular injections for osteoarthritis knee pain at same private outpatient facility in Jersey. The risk resulting from injection is low. However, outbreaks associated with unsafe practices settings have been reported. Methods: An infection prevention assessment implicated facility’s was conducted because ongoing to public health. included...
Abstract Objective Following Hurricane Superstorm Sandy, the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) developed indicators to enhance syndromic surveillance for extreme weather events in EpiCenter, an online system that collects and analyzes real-time chief complaint emergency department (ED) data classifies each visit by indicator or syndrome. Methods These severe were finalized using 2 steps: (1) key word inclusion review complaints from cases where diagnostic codes met selection criteria...
We report a fatal case of Lassa fever diagnosed in the United States Liberian traveler. describe infection control protocols and public health response. One contact at high risk became symptomatic, but her samples tested negative for virus; no secondary cases occurred among care, family, community contacts.
Abstract Endogenously contracted typhoid fever has decreased dramatically in the industrialized world. A practicing physician may not see a case lifetime, but health professionals should allow to recede from their consciousness. Typhoid is still endemic much of developing world, and as travel increases, illnesses can do skip around world day. College students are at particular risk because they often on low budget for extended periods, mix freely with local populations regions, aware risks...
Characterizing the relationship between disease testing behaviors and infectious dynamics is of great importance for public health. Tests both current past infection can influence disease-related at individual level, while population-level knowledge an epidemic’s course may feed back to affect one’s likelihood taking a test. The COVID-19 pandemic has generated data on unprecedented scale tests detecting (PCR, antigen) (serology); this opens way characterizing complex behavior dynamics....
The NJ Department of Health's syndromic surveillance system developed an algorithm to categorize heat-related illness (HRI) based on a patient's chief complaint during emergency room visit, then matched these data with subsequent Uniform Billing (UB) diagnosis data. overall sensitivity the was 16% and positive predictive value 40%. Evaluation major heat event found both increased about 23% 60%, respectively. While HRI relatively insensitive, improved events all excursions in were identified using

Abstract Study question Does recovery from SARS–Corona virus 2 (SARS–CoV-2) infection negatively effect IVF cycle parameters? Summary answer Female treatment parameters were comparable to the pre-Covid-19 performance. Sperm concentration and motility demonstrated lower mean counts following Covid-19 infection. What is known already Corona-virus disease-19 (Covid-19) a global pandemic caused by (SARS–CoV-2). The primarily affects respiratory system, but other systemic immune mediated effects...
This oral presentation will describe the surveillance planning and activities for a large-scale event (Super Bowl XLVIII) using New Jersey syndromic system (EpiCenter).
Background. Since the escalation of outbreak Ebola virus disease (Ebola) in August 2014, New Jersey Department Health (NJDOH) has provided guidance to clinicians on management persons under investigation (PUIs) for Ebola. On October 27, Centers Disease Control and Prevention instituted a policy active monitoring (AM), which involves daily temperature symptom reporting, all returning United States from Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea. The purpose this analysis was describe clinical outcomes...
The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the need for effective infectious disease prevention and mitigation efforts within childcare educational settings, supported by local health departments state agencies. During pandemic, rapidly evolving guidance, increased surveillance burden, vastly volume of inquiries from communities led to development a state-level consortium in New Jersey. works with partners support entities departments.
