Previous reports of COVID-19 case, hospitalization, and death rates by vaccination status
On September 1, 2022, CDC recommended an updated (bivalent) COVID-19 vaccine booster to help restore waning protection conferred by previous vaccination and broaden against emerging variants for persons aged ≥12 years (subsequently extended ≥6 months).*To assess the impact of original (monovalent) vaccines bivalent boosters, case mortality rate ratios (RRs) were estimated comparing unvaccinated vaccinated overall receipt time since (monovalent or bivalent) during Delta variant Omicron...
Although reinfections with SARS-CoV-2 have occurred in the United States increasing frequency, U.S. epidemiologic trends and associated severe outcomes not been characterized. Weekly counts of reinfections, total infections, hospitalizations deaths reported by 18 jurisdictions during September 5, 2021-December 31, 2022, were analyzed overall, age group, five periods variant predominance (Delta Omicron [BA.1, BA.2, BA.4/BA.5, BQ.1/BQ.1.1]). Among weekly median intervals between infections...
Vaccinated Persons TeamAs of November 14, 2022, monkeypox (mpox) cases had been reported from more than 110 countries, including 29,133 in the United States.*Among U.S. to date, 95% have occurred among males (1).After first confirmed mpox case on May 17, limited supplies JYNNEOS vaccine (Modified Vaccinia Ankara vaccine, Bavarian Nordic) were made available jurisdictions for persons exposed mpox.JYNNEOS was approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 2019 as a 2-dose series (0.5 mL per...
Purpose Birds are implicated in spoiling and decay of buildings, especially through their droppings. Pigeons considered the main culprits, several studies have examined effects chemistry accumulations droppings without evidence to exact origins source excreta. The paper aims discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach This study reviews summarises state knowledge with regard impact bird excreta on buildings. It experimentally assesses acidity fresh pigeon different diets examines...
ABSTRACT Late Paleozoic fusuline foraminifera are thought to have hosted photosymbionts, as do modern larger foraminifera, but the ancient host-symbiont relationship has never been demonstrated conclusively. Among deeper-dwelling species exhibit large surface-to-volume ratios in order maximize amount of sunlight that can be captured for use by photosymbionts. Shallower-dwelling smaller limit incoming sunlight, especially ultraviolet radiation. If symbiont-bearing appropriate analogues...
To describe the breastfeeding characteristics of late-preterm infants (LPIs) in a kangaroo mother care (KMC) unit.In 20-bed KMC unit, 73 purposively-selected LPIs' (mean gestational age: 34.8 weeks) was observed once-off, using Preterm Infant Breastfeeding Behavior Scale. Participants' mean age 9.5 days, number days unit 3.1 and 7.5 on observation.Only 13.7% participants were directly without supplementary naso- or orogastric feeding/cup-feeding 86.3% received cup-feeding expressed breast...
The foraging and perching behaviours of urban commensal birds are well studied but disproportionately focused on green spaces (e.g. parks, backyards) rather than inner city sites. relationship between building use was examined in free-ranging the central business district (CBD) Melbourne, Victoria, Australia during 2015–2016. presence common buildings attributable both to time day (Feral Pigeons Silver Gulls morning, House Sparrows evening) architectural period Pigeons, Common Mynas were...
Abstract Pigeon droppings are implicated in spoiling and decay of buildings. Several studies have examined the effects chemistry accumulations pigeon under highly localised roosts. Scant information exists on impact caused by individual at perch sites, even though these constitute majority bird use urban areas. This study experimentally processes that affect masonry immediately after excreta been voided from body what discrete, fresh different kinds sandstone. The experiments demonstrated...
Purpose There is much anecdotal evidence that birds and their droppings are a major problem for the heritage profession. The purpose of this paper to examine how serious practitioners consider bird impact be. Design/methodology/approach An online survey was conducted 59 Australian professionals between one >20 year’s experience in field. Findings Bird impacts were not considered concern buildings. longer practitioner had, less likely an issue. Feral pigeons deemed most problematic,...
Background. Infants in neonatal intensive care are at risk of swallowing difficulties, particular oropharyngeal dysphagia (OPD) and oesophageal (OD). OPD is treated by speech-language therapists while OD managed doctors. Diagnosis a challenge as equipment for instrumental evaluations not readily available. Additional information to guide clinical assessment may be valuable. Objective. To determine whether profiles infants (≥32 weeks' gestation) unit (NICU) diagnosed with or were distinctly...

 In many countries, Canary Islands Date Palms (Phoenix canariensis) have escaped their horticulturally managed settings and commenced to colonise surrounding natural bushland. While dispersed by various vectors, both birds canids such as foxes, fluctuating environmental conditions may inhibit germination in the season of deposition. The potential old, previous season’s seeds germinate when turn favourable has direct implications on plant’s ability establish viable, colonising...
Background SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants have the potential to impact vaccine effectiveness and duration of vaccine-derived immunity. We analyzed U.S. multi-jurisdictional COVID-19 breakthrough surveillance data examine waning protection against infection for Pfizer-BioNTech (BNT162b) primary vaccination series by age. Methods Weekly numbers infections during January 16, 2022–May 28, 2022 were age group from 22 jurisdictions that routinely linked case immunization data. A life table approach...
