Purpose The purpose of this exploratory focus group study was to describe the perspectives teens and their parents about self-management knowledge, behaviors (including division labor associated with T1D management), resources used manage T1D. overall goal is use information develop a teen–family transition clinic. Methods self family management framework undergirded separate teen–parent groups that were conducted concurrently. Note-based qualitative content analysis used, resulting in...
ABSTRACT With its promise of nondestructive processing, rapid low-cost sampling, and portability to any field site or museum in the world, portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) spectrometry is rapidly becoming a standard piece equipment for archaeologists. Even though use pXRF standard, publication analytical methods resulting data remains widely variable. Despite validation studies that demonstrate importance sample preparation, collection settings, there no how report results. In this...
Zika virus has rapidly spread through the World Health Organization's Region of Americas since being identified in Brazil early 2015. Transmitted primarily bite infected Aedes species mosquitoes, infection during pregnancy can cause spontaneous abortion and birth defects, including microcephaly (1,2). New York City (NYC) is home to a large number persons who travel frequently areas with active transmission, immigrants from these areas. In November 2015, NYC Department Mental Hygiene (DOHMH)...
In Brief Background Expedited partner therapy (EPT) for Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) reduces repeat Ct infection and was legalized in New York State 2009. It is a practice which Ct-infected index patient delivers medication or prescription directly to sex partner(s), without those partners receiving medical evaluation. There have been few evaluations of EPT implementation assessing acceptance uptake among patients. We measured patients, identified predictors accepting EPT, described reasons...
In 2016, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention initiated Strengthening the US Response to Resistant Gonorrhea (SURRG) in multiple jurisdictions enhance antibiotic resistant gonorrhea rapid detection response infrastructure evaluate impact of key strategies.Eight were funded establish or local gonococcal culture specimen collection sexually transmitted disease community clinics, conduct antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) laboratories, modify systems enhanced data communication...
Unhealthy substance use is associated with increased rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including HIV. The screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment strategy effective at reducing over time. We investigated whether STD clinic patients who received a intervention (BI) had lower STD/HIV acquisition time than those did not.A retrospective sample 7665 screened positive for abuse or dependence between May 1, 2008, December 31, 2010, was matched HIV surveillance...
New York City (NYC) was one of the hotspots monkeypox virus (MPXV) infections in United States during multi-country mpox outbreak 2022. This study used most comprehensive dataset to date investigate genomic characteristics MPXV NYC. We performed Nextclade lineage assignment, phylogenetic and mutational analyses on 1,138 specimens from 748 individuals at NYC Public Health Lab context 2,968 sequences sampled globally. assignment showed B.1.12 as a specific analysis North America clades. The...
Translational science rarely addresses the needs of rural communities, perpetuating health inequities. Furthermore, policy and resource allocation reflect this dynamic. Through a partnership between community engagement program, Rural Health Initiative (RHI) was developed with goal building capacity for community-driven translational research in settings. We describe process forming RHI selection priority to motivate agenda particular setting. used mixed methods approach utilizing literature...
Abstract Conflicting results are reported regarding the prevalence of depression in myasthenia gravis (MG) compared to general population. One suggestion is that psychiatric instruments used assess confounded symptoms disease activity with common features depression. Objectives: We investigated MG using allowed for delineation between a patient's medical and psychological state. Methods: Thirty-six patients 20 neurologic neuromuscular diseases (NNMD) were evaluated 3 self-administered scales...
Background: Despite effective solutions to reduce teen birth rates, Texas rates are among the highest in nation. School districts can impact youth sexual behavior through implementation of evidence-based programs (EBPs); however, pregnancy prevention is a complex and controversial issue for school districts. Subsequently, very few implement EBPs prevention. Additionally, receive little guidance on process finding, adopting, implementing EBPs. Purpose: The purpose this report present CHoosing...
Background: The US has higher rates of teen births and sexually transmitted infections (STI) than other developed countries. Texas youth are disproportionately impacted. Purpose: To review local, state, national data on teens' engagement in sexual risk behaviors to inform policy practice related health. Methods: 2009 middle school high Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) data, from All About Youth, a study conducted large urban district Texas, were analyzed assess the prevalence initiation,...
Reactive syphilis serologies are investigated by health departments to determine if they represent new infection, reinfection, or treatment failure. Serologies prioritized for investigation based on nontreponemal test titer and age (using a "reactor grid") undergo manual record search review. We developed computerized algorithm that automates the review.We tested using Florida Department of Health data set containing reported January 2016 December 2018 previous records linked each...
Background: Much of the research literature on sexual consent and education has been focused college students, providing a significant gap in our understanding high school especially ethnic minority youth, who are at greatest risk for unwanted contact activity. Furthermore, recent suggests that music with sexually suggestive misogynistic themes influence communication consenting behaviors. An analysis rap produced after year 2000 is necessary to identify may among youth. Methods: A thematic...
Abstract The global mpox epidemic in 2022 was likely caused by transmission of virus (MPXV) through sexual contact networks, with New York City (NYC) experiencing the first and largest outbreak United States. By performing a phylogeographic epidemiological analysis MPXV, we identify at least 200 introductions MPXV into NYC 84 leading to onward transmission. Through comparative human immunodeficiency (HIV) NYC, find that both HIV genomic cluster sizes are best fit scale-free distributions...
As recent art historical scholarship has demonstrated, the techniques of linear perspective displace narrative (the artwork's content) in favor relations between aesthetic objects form). In this regard, perspectival performs a rhetorical transaction analogous to that its “sister art,” lyric poetry. The formal features and poetic strategies parallel geometric effects art: both practices differentiate surface from transparentizing demands narrative. Each form stages interaction irreconcilable...
