Abstract Among patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19), IgM levels increased early after symptom onset for those mild and severe disease, but IgG only in disease. A similar pattern was observed a separate serosurveillance cohort. Mild COVID-19 should be investigated separately from COVID-19.
The Farmworker Family Health Program (FWFHP) annually supports 600 farmworkers in connectivity-challenged rural areas. Traditional paper-based data collection posed validity concerns, prompting a pilot of direct entry using tablets and satellite internet to enhance efficiency. purpose this article is describe, the TIDier checklist, real-time, live data-entry EMR intervention made possible by internet. Utilizing customized REDCap database, occurred through Patients received unique medical...

Background: Outdoor workers are exposed to hot work environments and at risk of heat-related morbidity mortality. The purpose this study was evaluate the knowledge migrant farmworkers about first aid for illness (HRI) symptoms. Methods: authors recruited 60 out 66 who were approached from vegetable farms in Georgia. They participated 2018 Farmworker Family Health Program (FWFHP). surveyed assess demographics, prevalence HRI symptoms, hydration practices, aid. Descriptive statistics worker...
HLA-G is a promiscuous immune checkpoint molecule. The gene presents substantial nucleotide variability in its regulatory regions. However, it encodes limited number of proteins compared to classical HLA class I genes. We characterized the genetic 4640 individuals from 88 different population samples across globe by using state-of-the-art method characterize polymorphisms and haplotypes high-coverage next-generation sequencing data. also provide insights regarding diversity resource for...
Background: Decreasing emissions of the global healthcare sector will be an important tool for decreasing magnitude climate change. The environmental practices nurses can have a positive impact. purpose this study is to identify performed by while at work and home along with their associated factors. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive conducted surveying from two public hospitals in Lambayeque, Peru. We utilized Nurses’ Environmental Awareness Tool collect information about nurses’...
Abstract Background As global temperatures rise, increasing numbers of individuals will work in hot environments. Interventions to protect their health are critical, as reliable methods measure the physiological strain experienced from heat exposure. The index (PSI) is a that relies on heart rate and core temperature but challenging calculate real‐world occupational setting. Methods We modified PSI for use field settings where resting not available used (mPSI) describe risk factors high...
Globally, there is increasing recognition that agricultural workers are at risk for chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu). Recurrent heat exposure, physical exertion, dehydration, muscle damage, and inflammation hypothesized to contribute the development CKDu, but relative importance these processes interactions among them remain unclear. Moreover, a need identify biomarkers could distinguish individuals who greatest damage target preventative interventions CKDu. In this study,...

Immigrants often work in jobs that are known as dirty, demanding, and dangerous. Globally, the agricultural occupations have been associated with emergence of chronic kidney disease unknown etiology (CKDu) primarily outdoor worker populations. The has also reported immigrants United States who occupations, but little research done outside workers to determine whether other at risk for developing CKDu.This study assessed self-reported occupational histories undocumented receiving frequent,...
Abstract Objectives In response to a surge of drug overdoses involving polysubstance use among Atlanta service industry workers that resulted in the deaths five people area summer 2021, local community harm reductionists and nurses organized opioid education naloxone distribution (OEND) training sessions specifically customized for Atlanta. After sessions, asked attendants participate study concerning their overdoses. The reason conducted was determine efficacy OEND adapted those working...
