A short interval between pregnancies has been associated with adverse perinatal outcomes. Whether that association is due to confounding by other risk factors, such as maternal age, socioeconomic status, and reproductive history, unknown.We evaluated the interpregnancy in relation low birth weight, preterm birth, small size for gestational age analyzing data from certificates of 173,205 singleton infants born alive multiparous mothers Utah 1989 1996.Infants conceived 18 23 months after a...
We investigated an outbreak of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) that occurred during May and June 2010, to identify the mode transmission. Contact index patient's blood was significantly associated development SFTS (P = .01, by χ(2) test for linear trend); frequency contact increased risk in a dose-response manner .03, trend). concluded human-to-human transmission caused this cluster cases.
On September 21, 2009, China began administering vaccines, obtained from 10 different manufacturers, against 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) virus infection in priority populations. We aimed to assess the safety of this vaccination program.We designed a plan for passive surveillance adverse events after immunization with vaccine. Physicians or providers were required report numbers vaccinees and all their local Center Disease Control Prevention (CDC), which then reported data Chinese CDC...
Prenatal exposure to organophosphate esters (OPEs) and phthalic acid (PAEs) is ubiquitous among pregnant individuals. However, research exploring the relationship between prenatal co-exposure OPEs PAEs childhood insulin function remains limited. In this study, utilizing data from 2,246 maternal-fetal dyads in Ma'anshan Birth Cohort, associations action were analyzed. Repeated measures of tris (2-chloroethyl) phosphate, six OPE metabolites, seven PAE metabolites collected maternal urine....

Design Prospective evaluation performance, using retrospective data. Setting Data simulation were assembled from six adult medical surgical ICUs Massachusetts New York. Patients Consecutive admissions (n...
Background. Glucocorticoids increase the risk of developing critical disease from viral infections. However, primary care practitioners in China use them as antipyretics, potentially exposing hundreds millions to this risk. Methods. We enrolled all patients with confirmed pandemic influenza A (pH1N1) virus infection aged ≥3 years available medical records at 4 Shenyang City hospitals 20 October 30 November 2009. patient was any confirmed, hospitalized pH1N1 who developed ≥1 following: death,...
On 6 February 2015, Kampala city authorities alerted the Ugandan Ministry of Health a “strange disease” that killed one person and sickened dozens. We conducted an epidemiologic investigation to identify nature disease, mode transmission, risk factors inform timely effective control measures. defined suspected case as onset fever (≥37.5 °C) for more than 3 days with abdominal pain, headache, negative malaria test or failed anti-malaria treatment, at least 2 following: diarrhea, nausea...

An ecological investigation also carried...
Abstract Background Sewage transmission of SARS-CoV-2 has never been demonstrated. During a COVID-19 outbreak in Guangzhou, China April 2020, we investigated the mode transmission. Methods We collected clinical and environmental samples from quarantined residents their environment for RT-PCR testing genome sequencing. A case was resident with positive test regardless symptoms. conducted retrospective cohort study all cases’ buildings to identify risk factors. Results found 8 cases (onset:...
This study sought to reassess the relationship between cigarette smoking and education.Data from 1983 1991 National Health Interview Survey for participants aged 25 years older were used plot prevalence of current smoking, ever heavy cessation, as well adjusted log odds ratios, by education.The "less than high school graduate" category consisted two groups with distinct patterns: persons 0 8 9 11 education.

During June 2-8, 2009, an outbreak of influenza A pandemic (H1N1) 2009 occurred among 31 members a tour group in China. To identify the mode transmission and risk factors, we conducted retrospective cohort investigation. The index case-patient was female tourist from United States. Secondary cases developed 9 (30%) who had talked with 1 airline passenger (not member) sat within 2 rows her. None 14 not became ill. This apparently caused by droplet during coughing or talking. That airborne...
