Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) are focal points of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, and asymptomatic infections with SARS-CoV-2, virus that causes COVID-19, among SNF residents health care personnel have been described (1-3). Repeated point prevalence surveys (serial testing all at a facility irrespective symptoms) used to identify reduced SARS-CoV-2 transmission during outbreaks (1,3). During March 2020, Detroit Health Department area hospitals detected sharp increase in...
Undetected infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) contributes to transmission in nursing homes, settings where large outbreaks high resident mortality have occurred (1,2). Facility-wide testing of residents and health care personnel (HCP) can identify asymptomatic presymptomatic infections facilitate prevention control interventions (3-5). Seven state or local departments conducted initial facility-wide staff members 288 homes during March...
Abstract Background People experiencing homelessness (PEH) are disproportionately affected by infectious diseases compared to people who housed (non-PEH). In the western U.S., 9–25% of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and group A Streptococcus (IGAS) cases among PEH; disparities in IPD IGAS housing status not well-documented other regions. Methods Hospitalized residents 3 metro Atlanta counties (Fulton, DeKalb, & Cobb) ≥18 years occurring during 2010–2022 their at diagnosis were...
Maricopa County, Arizona (2017 population about 4.3 million), is located in the Sonoran Desert. In 2005, County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) established a heat-associated mortality surveillance system that captures data on circumstances death for residents and visitors. We analyzed 2006-2016 to understand characteristics deaths.We classified deaths based International Classification Diseases, Tenth Revision codes (X30, T67.X, P81.0) phrases (heat exposure, environ, exhaustion, sun,...
Population-level research on the implications of retail pharmacy policies to end sale tobacco products is scant, and impact such racial/ethnic socioeconomic disparities across neighborhoods in access remains unexplored.

Despite recommendations, most U.S.-bound Congolese refugees with splenomegaly did not have documented receipt of primaquine after resettlement. Most patients were clustered within families. Approximately 50% available medical records had persistent >6 months arrival; 63% a hematologic abnormality.
Older buildings in the United States often contain lead paint, and their demolition poses risk of community exposure. We investigated associations between demolitions elevated blood levels (EBLLs) among Detroit children aged <6 years, 2014-2018, evaluated yearly variation given health safety controls implemented during this time. Case-control analysis included incident EBLL cases (≥5 µg/dL) non-EBLL from test results reported to Michigan Department Health Human Services. Exposure was defined...
Background/Aim: Evidence is growing that exposure to nature may provide opportunities for physical activity, decrease pollution, increase social engagement, and enable psychological restoration. These factors have been hypothesized influence breast cancer risk; however, few studies directly assessed incidence. We examined the association between residential satellite-based vegetation incidence using data from prospective nationwide US-based Nurses' Health Study II cohort. Methods: followed...
Tropical splenomegaly is often associated with malaria and schistosomiasis. In 2014 2015, 145 Congolese refugees in western Uganda diagnosed during predeparture medical examinations underwent enhanced screening for various etiologies. After anecdotal reports of unresolved complications after U.S. arrival, patients were reassessed to describe long-term clinical progression arrival the United States. Post-arrival information was obtained through chart abstraction collaboration state health...
Introduction: Natural environments may improve people's affective state, provide space for cognitive and attention restoration, facilitate social interaction. Previous studies have shown associations between natural (mainly greenness green space) lower depression, but few focused on adolescents or considered blue (surface water) in addition to space. We consider the joint independent effects of adolescent health. Methods: included 10,037 (age 12-17) a prospective cohort who provided...
