Background Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are vectors of a variety emerging viral pathogens, including yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya, and Zika virus. This species has established endemic populations in all cities across southern New Mexico sampled to date. Presently, control Aedes-borne viruses relies on deployment insecticides suppress mosquito populations, but the evolution insecticide resistance threatens success vector programs. While is quite common Ae. field much U.S., status this from...
Objective: This study aimed to explore the perspectives of caregivers regarding information and support they received following diagnosis their child's hearing loss. Design: A mixed methods explanatory sequential design was conducted. Study sample: total 445 children completed a written survey, five parents participated in qualitative in-depth interviews. Results: The most common sources for were discussion with an audiologist, information, medical professional. Approximately 85% reported...
Public health research and vector control frequently require the rearing of large numbers mosquitoes. All target mosquito species are anautogenous, meaning that females vertebrate blood for egg production. Vertebrate blood, however, is costly, with a short shelf life. To overcome these constraints, we have developed SkitoSnack, an artificial meal replacement Aedes aegypti, dengue, Zika chikungunya virus. SkitoSnack contains bovine serum albumin hemoglobin as protein source well yolk...
The action crisis is a critical phase in goal striving during which the pursuer feels conflicted about persevering with or initiating disengagement. Recent research suggests that motivation, specifically controlled motivation (i.e., pursuing out of obligation and pressure), increases likelihood experiencing crises. In turn, crises pursuit have been linked to depression symptoms cortisol. present 8-month longitudinal study, we tracked university students' personal goals examine whether...
On 29 April 2015, the Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County (DOH Miami-Dade) was notified by a local dermatologist 3 patients with suspected nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection after receiving tattoos at tattoo studio.DOH conducted interviews and offered testing, described below, to studio clients reporting rashes. Culture clinical isolates identification were performed Bureau Public Laboratories. Characterization NTM Centers for Disease Control Prevention US Food Drug...
Adopting a self-determination theory perspective, this 3-wave longitudinal study explores the role of perfectionism in goal pursuit and experience depressive symptoms. The findings highlight goal-related autonomy mediating opposite effects self-critical personal standards on progress symptoms over course an academic year. results suggest way understanding pathway to poor perfectionists. They point number implications for clinical practice when working with Specifically, they indicate that...
The present study explored whether pain-related psychosocial risk factors played a role in determining treatment gains were maintained following participation rehabilitation intervention for musculoskeletal injury. sample consisted of 310 individuals (163 women, 147 men) with work-related conditions who enrolled physical program. Measures pain severity, catastrophizing and fear completed at the time admission discharge. Pain severity was assessed again 1-year postdischarge. Participants...
The present study examined the psychometric properties of Symptom Catastrophizing Scale (SCS). SCS items were drawn from Pain but modified to make them better suited context debilitating mental health conditions that are not necessarily associated with pain. number was reduced 13 7, and response scale simplified.The administered individuals diagnosed Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) (N = 79) or a chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) condition 88).Exploratory factor analyzes revealed single solutions...
Abstract Mosquitoes of the Aedes genus are vectors for dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and yellow fever viruses. Mosquito repellents an effective way to prevent mosquito bites reduce spread mosquito-borne diseases. In early 90s, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a list active ingredients that pose minimum risk human health can be used as pesticides or without passing EPA registration process. The present study examined efficacy 21 listed by 25 (B) exempt five commercially...
Abstract Objective The Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County (DOH-Miami-Dade) investigated 106 reported carbon monoxide (CO) exposures over a 9-day timeframe after Hurricane Irma. This report evaluates risk factors for CO poisoning and the importance heightened surveillance following natural disasters. Methods Data on cases from September 9 to 18, 2017 were extracted Merlin, Surveillance System. Medical records obtained follow-up interviews conducted collect data confirmed cases....
Abstract Background Virtual psychotherapy for chronic pain (CP) has been shown to be feasible, efficacious, and acceptable; however, little is known about how virtual delivery of group affects participants’ experiences. This study aimed explore the impact a medium during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on social interactions therapeutic processes in context CP management. Methods qualitative, interview-based collected data 18 individuals who participated tertiary care management...
Background Mosquito repellents can be an effective method for personal protection against mosquito bites that are a nuisance and carry the risk of transmission mosquito-borne pathogens like plasmodia , dengue virus, chikungunya Zika virus. A multitude commercially available products currently on market, some them highly while others have low or no efficacy. Many home remedies unknown efficacy also widely used. Methods We conducted survey study to determine what kind other control strategies...

The sample consisted 110 individuals who had sustained whiplash injuries in rear collision motor vehicle accidents were work-disabled at time enrolment study. Participants completed pre- post-treatment measures pain severity, disability, cervical range motion, depression, posttraumatic stress symptoms, catastrophizing. Pain severity was assessed...
Background: Understanding the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 vaccination in pregnancy on maternal perinatal outcomes informs clinical decision-making.Methods: We undertook a national, population-based, matched cohort study to investigate associations between and, separately, just before or during risk adverse baby among women Scotland with singleton ending at ≥20 weeks gestation. Baby examined were stillbirth, neonatal death, extended mortality, preterm birth (overall,...
To promote postpandemic recovery, many countries have adopted economic packages that include fiscal, monetary, and financial policy measures; however, the effects of these policies may not be known for several years or more. There is an opportunity decision makers to learn from past facilitated recovery other disease outbreaks, crises, natural disasters had a devastating effect on economies around world. support development United Nations Research Roadmap COVID-19 Recovery, this review...
Measurements are reported of the vibrational quenching NO(v=1–3) by NO2 and O2, NO2(0,0,1) NO, O2 N2, close to room temperature. Vibrationally excited NO was formed from photolysis at 308 355 nm, kinetic behaviour different levels followed wavelength resolved FTIR emission. The rate constant for removal NO(v=1) NO2, (1.9±0.2)×10-12 cm3 molecule-1 s-1, is in excellent agreement with previous measurements. For v=2 3 constants showed a marked increase, values (2.9±0.3) (4.8±0.7)×10-12 s-1...
