Racial/ethnic disparities in current asthma prevalence and medical care are a major public health concern. We examined the differences morbidity among racial/ethnic populations US.
BackgroundAfter Hurricane Katrina, many New Orleans homes remained flooded for weeks, promoting heavy microbial growth.ObjectivesA small demonstration project was conducted November 2005–January 2006 aiming to recommend safe remediation techniques and levels of worker protection, characterize airborne mold endotoxin throughout cleanup.MethodsThree houses with floodwater lines between 0.3 2 m underwent intervention, including disposal damaged furnishings drywall, cleaning surfaces, drying...
Background. Despite the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) guidelines that specify goals of asthma control management strategies, number patients with uncontrolled remains high, factors associated are unknown. Objective. The aim was to examine relationship between socio-demographic characteristics, health-care access use, education, medication use among adults active residing in New England. Methods. Data from 2006–2007 Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System Adult...
We sought to assess risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) among influenza A (H1N1) 2009 monovalent (pH1N1) vaccinated and unvaccinated populations at the end pandemic.We applied GBS surveillance data from a US population catchment area 45 million October 15, 2009, through May 31, 2010. cases meeting Brighton Collaboration criteria were included. calculated incidence density ratio (IDR) pH1N1 populations. also estimated cumulative using life table analysis. Additionally, we used vaccine...
Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease primarily affecting the colon but frequently associated with extra-intestinal manifestations (EIMs), which can involve musculoskeletal, ocular, dermatological, hepatobiliary, and renal systems. These significantly impact prognosis patient quality of life. The prevalence distribution EIMs vary across populations, their relationship severity duration remains subject ongoing investigation. Early identification...
Background: Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a severe complication in decompensated cirrhosis, exacerbating portal hypertension and increasing morbidity. Effective anticoagulation essential to promote recanalization while minimizing bleeding risks. Traditional anticoagulants, including low-molecular-weight heparin vitamin K antagonists, require frequent monitoring pose higher Direct oral such as rivaroxaban, have emerged potential alternatives, but their safety efficacy cirrhotic patients...
Background: Endoscopic variceal band ligation (EVBL) is a standard intervention for preventing bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis. However, the procedure often leads to post-ligation ulcers, pain, dysphagia, and potential complications, increasing patient morbidity hospital stay. Sucralfate, gastroprotective agent, has demonstrated efficacy accelerating ulcer healing reducing gastrointestinal symptoms various conditions. Its role post-EVBL care remains underexplored, necessitating...
Objectives. Unintentional, non-fire-related (UNFR) carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a leading cause of in the United States. A comprehensive national CO surveillance framework needed to obtain accurate estimates burden and guide prevention efforts. This article describes current reports most recent estimates. Methods. We analyzed mortality data from National Vital Statistics System multiple cause-of-death file, emergency department (ED) hospitalization Healthcare Cost Utilization Projects...
Objectives. Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality during natural disasters. On January 26–27, 2009, severe ice storm occurred in Kentucky, causing widespread, extended power outages disrupting transportation communications. After the storm, CO poisonings were reported throughout state. The objectives this investigation to determine extent problem, identify sources poisoning, characterize cases, make recommendations reduce mortality, develop prevention...
We evaluated associations between current asthma and birthplace among major racial/ethnic groups in the United States.We used multivariate logistic regression methods to analyze data on 102,524 children adolescents 255,156 adults National Health Interview Survey (2001-2009).We found significantly higher prevalence (P < .05) of (9.3% vs 5.1%) (7.6% 4.7%) born 50 states Washington, DC (US-born), than those elsewhere. These differences were all age non-Hispanic Whites, Blacks, Hispanics...
Objective. Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is preventable, yet it remains one of the most common causes in U.S. In absence a national data reporting system for CO-poisoning surveillance, burden CO-related hospitalizations unknown. Our objective was to generate first estimates and evaluate use Web-based query public health surveillance. Methods. The Healthcare Cost Utilization Project's (HCUP's) 2005 Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) were used hospitalization estimates. Data confirmed,...
