CDC, the Food and Drug Administration, state local health departments, other public clinical stakeholders are investigating a national outbreak of electronic-cigarette (e-cigarette), or vaping, product use-associated lung injury (EVALI) (1). As October 22, 2019, 49 states, District Columbia (DC), U.S. Virgin Islands have reported 1,604 cases EVALI to including 34 (2.1%) EVALI-associated deaths in 24 states. Based on data collected as 15, this report updates patient characteristics substances...
Correctional and detention facilities are disproportionately affected by COVID-19 due to shared space, contact between staff detained persons, movement within facilities. On March 18, 2020, Cook County Jail, one of the United States' largest, identified its first suspected case in a person.This analysis includes SARS-CoV-2 cases confirmed molecular detection among persons Sheriff's Office staff. We examined occurrence symptomatic each building proportions asymptomatic testing positive,...
Correctional and detention facilities have been disproportionately affected by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) because of shared space movement staff members detained persons within (1,2).During March 1-April 30, 2020, at Cook County Jail in Chicago, Illinois, >900 COVID-19 cases were diagnosed across all 10 housing divisions, representing 13 unique buildings.† Movement the jail was examined through network analyses visualization, a field that examines elements connections between...
Most public health agencies expect reporting of diseases to be initiated by hospital, laboratory or clinic staff even though so-called passive approaches are known burdensome for reporters and produce incomplete as well delayed reports, which can hinder assessment disease delay recognition outbreaks. In this study, we analyze patterns data completeness timeliness traditional, notifiable two distinct sources information: hospital versus clinical staff. Reports were submitted via fax machine...
In the stomach, production of prostaglandins by cyclo‐oxygenase (COX) is believed to be important in mucosal defence. We tested hypothesis that endogenous COX activity required for protective gastric surface pH control. Intact stomachs anaesthetized mice were perfused with a weakly buffered solution (150 m NaCl + 4 Homopipes) at values from 2.5 7.0. Gastric effluents collected measure and estimate amounts acid or alkali secretion nanomoles secreted per minute. A switch net was seen response...
Abstract Background Proficiency testing (PT) should identify systematic errors, which are likely to recur. The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) acceptance limits (ALs) include 3SD and concentration limits. We investigated the ability PT detect error, especially as affected by AL type. Methods Ungradable, duplicate, irregular scores were removed from 2008 2018 CLIA laboratory results. For analytes that had at least 200 events participating laboratories, we calculated...
ABSTRACT Background Correctional and detention facilities are disproportionately affected by COVID-19 due to shared space, contact between staff detained persons, movement within of many with pre-existing medical conditions. On March 18, 2020, Cook County Jail, one the United States’ largest, identified its first suspected case in a person. Methods This analysis includes SARS-CoV-2 cases confirmed molecular detection among persons Sheriff’s Office staff. We examined occurrence symptomatic...
Juvenile probation officers (JPOs) play an important role as decisionmakers for adolescents under their supervision in the community. While some research has examined how individual and organizational characteristics may affect decision-making, this is first study to examine of social networks that naturally occur within juvenile department workplace. Specifically, demographics, attitudes about participation workplace, burnout were predictors support consultation The current was exploratory...
Communicable disease reporting remains a challenging task for public health. To understand modern behaviors and challenges, we investigated sample of chlamydia laboratory provider communicable documentation sent to local health department. We measured the delay between positive test result when reports were in addition comparing results state law. Laboratory has improved given adoption electronic lab reporting. However, still lag tend be fax-based. Given movement towards record (EHR)...
Gathering information to adjudicate notifiable disease cases can be complex and time-consuming. Greater accessibility electronic health record systems could improve investigation processes. We analyzed case information, comparing where the department had access an EHR system those without such access. Completeness was significantly higher available.
One of the factors affecting quality health data is variation in public practitioners' perceived value information. To better understand this variation, we asked four local to evaluate fields they use for communicable diseases. We assessed their these initiate or complete disease case reports and variability responses.
An historical account of the modern theory tuberculosis (TB) using a culturomic analysis has not been studied.To analyze, methods, history our understanding TB as unitary disease.A millions digitized texts was undertaken to quantify 200-year trends in usage term and pre-modern terms consumptive, phthisis, scrofula, correlate these with significant events.Our originated Laënnec Paris, who proposed that seemingly disparate wasting conditions consumption were each related same post-mortem...
Reaching contagious people in a timely manner is essential to limit disease spread. We examined communicable cases with undelivered mail ascertain failure causes and rates. identified the source of address, reason for return patient demographics from case files. This yielded framework address information flow. allows us establish baseline future research including cost-effectiveness analyses streaming lining process improvements.
