COVID-NET conducts population-based surveillance for laboratory-confirmed COVID-19-associated hospitalizations in 99 counties † 14 states (California, Connecticut, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, York, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, and Utah), representing all 10 U.S. Department of Health Human Services regions (2,3).Laboratory-confirmed COVID-19associated among residents a predefined catchment area who had positive SARS-CoV-2 molecular test during...
This large outbreak of foodborne salmonellosis demonstrated the complexity investigating outbreaks linked to poultry products. The also highlighted importance efforts strengthen food safety policies related Salmonella in chicken parts and has implications for future changes within industry.To investigate a multistate multidrug resistant Heidelberg infections.Epidemiologic laboratory investigations patients infected with strains traceback possible exposures.United States. Outbreak period was...
Air pollution has been linked to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), but the mechanisms connecting air ADRD have not firmly established. may cause oxidative stress neuroinflammation contribute deposition of amyloid beta (Aβ) in brain. We examined association between fine particulate matter<2.5 μm diameter (PM2.5), matter<10 (PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), plasma based measures Aβ1-40, Aβ1-42 Aβ1-42/Aβ1-40 using data from 3044 dementia-free participants Ginkgo Evaluation Memory...
Background It is estimated that vaccinating 50%–70% of school-aged children for influenza can produce population-wide indirect effects. We evaluated a city-wide school-located vaccination (SLIV) intervention aimed to increase coverage. The was implemented in ≥95 preschools and elementary schools northern California from 2014 2018. Using matched cohort design, we impacts on student coverage, school absenteeism, community-wide effects laboratory-confirmed hospitalizations. Methods findings...
Abstract Background Cruciferous vegetable intake is inversely associated with the risk of several cancers. Isothiocyanates (ITC) are hypothesized to be major bioactive constituents contributing these cancer-preventive effects. The polymorphic glutathione- S -transferase (GST) gene family encodes enzymes which catalyze ITC degradation in vivo . Methods We utilized high throughput proteomics methods examine how human serum peptides (the "peptidome") change response cruciferous feeding...
Campylobacter is a leading cause of foodborne illness in the United States. infections have been associated with individual risk factors, such as consumption poultry and raw milk. Recently, Maryland-based study identified community socioeconomic environmental factors that are also campylobacteriosis rates. However, no previous studies evaluated association between rates across multiple U.S. states.We obtained case data (2004-2010; n = 40,768) from Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance...
Shigella causes an estimated 500 000 enteric illnesses in the United States annually, but association with socioeconomic factors is unclear. We examined possible epidemiologic associations between shigellosis and poverty using 2004-2014 Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) data. cases (n = 21 246) were geocoded, linked to Census tract data from American Community Survey, categorized into 4 crowding strata. For each stratum, we calculated incidence by sex, age,...
The relationships between socioeconomic status and domestically acquired salmonellosis leading Salmonella serotypes are poorly understood.We analyzed surveillance data from laboratory-confirmed cases of 2010-2016 for all 10 Foodborne Disease Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) sites, having a catchment population 47.9 million. Case residential were geocoded, linked to census tract poverty level, then categorized into 4 groups according level. After excluding those reporting international...
Abstract Background The relationship between socioeconomic status and Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is not well understood. However, recent studies in Connecticut New York City found that as census tract poverty (CTP) decreased, rates of STEC increased. To explore this nationally, we analyzed surveillance data from laboratory-confirmed cases 2010–2014 for all Foodborne Disease Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) sites, population 47.9 million. Methods Case residential were...
OBJECTIVE To characterize health professional schools by their vaccination policies for acceptable forms of evidence immunity and exemptions permitted. METHODS Data were collected between September 2011 April 2012 using an Internet-based survey e-mailed to selected types accredited programs. Schools identified through accrediting associations each type program. Analysis was limited requiring ≥1 vaccine recommended the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP): measles, mumps,...
Objective. To evaluate the reliability and validity of a standardized measure healthcare personnel (HCP) influenza vaccination. Setting. Acute care hospitals, long-term facilities, ambulatory surgery centers, physician practices, dialysis centers from 3 US jurisdictions. Participants. Staff 96 facilities randomly sampled 234 that completed pilot testing to assess feasibility measure. Methods. Reliability was assessed by comparing agreement between facility staff project on classification HCP...
Increasing influenza vaccination coverage in school-aged children may substantially reduce community transmission. School-located vaccinations (SLIV) aim to promote by increasing accessibility, which be especially beneficial race/ethnicity groups that face high barriers preventative care. Here, we evaluate the effectiveness of a city-wide SLIV program from 2014 2018. We used multivariate matching pair schools intervention district Oakland, CA with comparison West Contra Costa County, CA....
Background: Growing evidence links air pollution exposure to the risk of dementia. We hypothesized that hypertension may partially mediate this effect. Methods: previously documented an association between and dementia in Ginkgo Evaluation Memory Study, a randomized, placebo-controlled trial 3069 adults ≥75 years across four US sites who were evaluated for every 6 months from 2000–2008. utilized two-stage regression approach causal mediation analysis decompose total effect on into its...
