Abstract Background Addressing COVID-19 is a pressing health and social concern. To date, many epidemic projections policies addressing have been designed without seroprevalence data to inform parameters. We measured the of antibodies SARS-CoV-2 in community sample drawn from Santa Clara County. Methods On April 3-4, 2020, we tested county residents for using lateral flow immunoassay. Participants were recruited Facebook ads targeting individuals living within by demographic geographic...
Measuring the seroprevalence of antibodies to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is central understanding infection risk and fatality rates. We studied Disease 2019 (COVID-19)-antibody in a community sample drawn from Santa Clara County.
Typhoid fever remains a major public health problem globally. While new Vi conjugate vaccines hold promise for averting disease, the optimal programmatic delivery unclear. We aimed to identify strategies and associated epidemiologic conditions under which would be cost-effective.We developed dynamic, age-structured transmission cost-effectiveness model that simulated multiple vaccination with typhoid vaccine from societal perspective. 10-year programs (1) routine immunization of infants...
In South Korea, the consumption of liquid nicotine used in electronic cigarettes has dramatically increased from 4310 L 2012 to 7220 2013. This study aimed examine level heterogeneity contents labels and discrepancy content between that indicated on label actual values for cigarette refill products Korea.We purchased 32 (17 Korean domestic, 15 imported ones) one pure product at six different retail stores Seoul May June 2014. The concentrations each were measured by a blinded analyst Roswell...
Global surveys have built-in gender-related biases associated with data missingness across the gender dimensions of people’s lives, imbalanced or incomplete representation population groups, and biased ways in which information is elicited used. While increasing focus being placed on integration sex-disaggregated statistics into national programmes understanding effects gender-based disparities health all people, necessary for elucidating underlying causes designing effective intervention...
Objective. To examine baseline trends for the 2019 Ending HIV Epidemic in United States (EHE), which aims to reduce incidence by 90% 2030 57 counties and states responsible half of incident infections, provide a counterfactual comparator future evaluation initiative’s midpoint. Methods. We used 2014‒2021 metropolitan statistical area (MSA) data compare diagnostic rate between MSAs subsuming EHE regions (n = 46) other 76). A difference-in-difference analysis illustrated potential early-stage...
Background The key metric for monitoring the progress of deworming programs in controlling soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) is national drug coverage reported to World Health Organization (WHO). There increased interest utilizing geographically-disaggregated data estimate sub-national and equity, as well gender parity. Demographic Surveys (DHS) offer a potential source data. This study aimed compare routinely WHO estimated by DHS pre-school aged children inform global STH measurement...
Introduction: Brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs) are vascular abnormalities that can be treated with embolization or radiotherapy to prevent the risk of future rupture. In this study, we use hand-crafted radiomics and deep learning techniques predict favorable vs. unfavorable outcomes following Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) bAVMs compare their prediction performances. Methods: One hundred twenty-six patients seen at one academic medical center for GKRS obliteration over 15 years...
OBJECTIVES: Neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS) can result in severe disability. Nonoperative management minimally slows progression, but operative with posterior spinal fusion (PSF) carries high risks of morbidity and mortality. In this study, we compare health economic outcomes PSF to nonoperative for children NMS identify opportunities improve care. METHODS: We performed a cost-effectiveness analysis. Our decision analytic model included patients aged 5 20 years Cobb angle ≥50°, base case...
Despite strides towards gender equality, inequalities persist or remain unstudied, due potentially to data gaps. Although mapped, the effects of key gaps unknown. This study provides a framework measure gender- and age-imbalanced missing covariate on gender-health research. The is demonstrated using previously studied pathway for pre-marital sex norms among adults adolescent HIV risk.After identifying gender-age-imbalanced Demographic Health Survey (DHS) datasets, we resampled responses...
