Background Until recently, the Chagas disease vector, Triatoma infestans, was widespread in Arequipa, Perú, but as a result of decades-long campaign which over 70,000 houses were treated with insecticides, infestation prevalence is now greatly reduced. To monitor for T. infestans resurgence, city currently surveillance phase sample selected inspection each year. Despite extensive data from control that could be used to inform surveillance, selection inspect often carried out haphazardly or...
We analyzed syphilis case notifications in reproductive age women during 2013-2022. Late/unknown duration grew faster after 2020 (45.8% versus 17.9% annual growth pre-2020). Increased screening, inaccurate staging, delayed diagnosis, or increased incidence following clinical and partner services gaps may contribute to rises late/unknown cases.
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with negative health outcomes; however, screening for ACEs is not routinely performed among people living HIV (PLWH). We conducted a single-center, cross-sectional pilot study to define the (1) prevalence of in PLWH and (2) acceptability routine out-patient clinical care. One hundred participants completed screening: median age was 49 years (interquartile range: 38.5-59.5), 73% male, 66% Non-Hispanic Black/African American, 47% gay/lesbian....

History of is prevalent people living with HIV (PLWH); however, screening history not routinely performed clinical care. Methods We conducted a single-center, cross-sectional quality improvement pilot project (1) define prevalence ACEs PLWH engaged care and (2) improve linkage mental...

A female researcher posing as seeking referral contacted using structured script, once minor (under 18 years), adult (over 18). Calls were transcribed real time. The primary...
The QT interval represents the time between onset of ventricular depolarization (QRS complex) and conclusion repolarization (terminal T wave), as detected by surface electrocardiogram (ECG). A prolonged corrected (QTc) is associated with increased risk torsades de pointes, which can lead to fibrillation sudden cardiac arrest. Several processes result in interval, including congenital long syndrome, drug-mediated effects, metabolic abnormalities, structural or electrical heart disease.
