IFN-gamma produced by peripheral blood mononuclear cells stimulated with soluble amebic antigen measured upon enrollment. Thirty-one the 209 enrolled had Entamoeba histolytica-associated diarrhea. Children who higher than median level (median = 580 pg/mL) longer survival without E. histolytica diarrhea/dysentery...
Smoke exposure from wildfires or residential wood burning for heat is a public health problem many communities. Do-It-Yourself (DIY) portable air cleaners (PACs) are promoted as affordable alternatives to commercial PACs, but evidence of their effect on outcomes limited.
Low-cost, do-it-yourself (DIY) portable air cleaners (PACs) are an accessible option for socioeconomically disadvantaged communities to reduce smoke exposure, but their real-world efficacy is largely untested. We conducted two pilot studies quantify the impact of DIY and comparable lower-cost commercial PACs on indoor fine particle mass concentrations (PM2.5) in a tribal community exposed wildfire wood stove smoke. measured outdoor PM2.5, carbon dioxide, main door activity, PAC usage homes...
The last year has seen new approaches to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of protozoal infections gastrointestinal tract. Some news is not good: foodborne swimming pool outbreaks cyclosporiasis cryptosporidiosis, respectively, occurred in North America; paromomycin was shown be ineffective treatment for cryptosporidiosis; these parasitic diseases continued have a worldwide impact on human health. On bright side, there were important advances understanding pathogenesis...

We would like to thank Cook et al. for their consensus guidelines managing the airway in patients with COVID-19 1. Airway management patient is a point of risk concentration providers, and medical systems. Time essence if systems are turn tide collapse seen Wuhan, Italy, Spain now, New York. highlight two points arising from our reading these guidelines. First, failure minimise aggregate poses strategic threat systems; two, it critical include mental bandwidth saturation as contamination. In...
