Wastewater surveillance emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic as a novel strategy for tracking burden of illness in communities. Previous work has shown that trends wastewater SARS-CoV-2 viral loads correlate well with reported case over longer time periods (i.e., months). We used detrending series to reveal shorter sub-trend patterns weeks) identify leads or lags temporal alignment wastewater/case relationship. Daily incident cases and twice-weekly measured at 20 North Carolina sewersheds...
Abstract Background Wastewater monitoring data can be used to estimate disease trends inform public health responses. One commonly estimated metric is the rate of change in pathogen quantity, which typically correlates with clinical surveillance retrospective analyses. However, accuracy estimation approaches has not previously been evaluated. Objectives We assessed performance for estimating rates wastewater loads by generating synthetic time series were known. Each approach was also...
Abstract Volumetric soft tissue and muscle wounds can arise from trauma or necrotizing infection. Quantifying the size of these be challenging, as they often have irregular borders contours invariably involve skin loss. 3-dimensional Computed Tomography (3dCT) has been used to characterize volume numerous structures, but use cases structures for which clear anatomic exist. This is not case volumetric wounds, where wound being assessed, actually a void representing absence tissue, does...

Abstract Background: Many individuals diagnosed with MBC and their loved ones struggle to find tailored disease specific resources support (Mayer 2010). Due a variety of constraints, oncologists are often challenged adequately address patients’ needs concerns within the space standard medical visit. Managing expectations emotions, as well providing education on complexities journey, is daunting. Moreover, survivorship care date has not addressed unique rapidly growing population living MBC....
