The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread globally, with >365,000 cases in California as of 17 July 2020. We investigated the genomic epidemiology SARS-CoV-2 Northern from late January to mid-March 2020, using samples 36 patients spanning nine counties and Grand Princess cruise ship. Phylogenetic analyses revealed cryptic introduction at least seven different lineages into California, including epidemic WA1 strains...
During February 26–April 1, 2020, community mobility (a proxy measure for social distancing) in the metropolitan areas of San Francisco, Seattle, New Orleans, and York City declined, decreasing ..
Enthesitis is a recommended core domain for assessment of ankylosing spondylitis (AS), but no measurement has yet been validated according to Outcome Measures in Rheumatoid Arthritis Clinical Trials (OMERACT) criteria.The purpose this study was seek validate an enthesitis index patients with AS OMERACT criteria.An two patient cohorts: (1) longitudinal cohort (n = 223) and (2) 22 from three Canadian sites participating 24-week randomised placebo-controlled trial adalimumab AS.

Article AbstractBackground: Maternal depression can have significant repercussions for the health and well-being of mothers children. In primarily white middle-income populations, approximately 15% experience depression. Among ethnically socioeconomically diverse prevalence maternal has not been as well established. However, highest rates observed among low-income women. Because information about minority, underserved women is particularly sparse, we utilize data from San Mateo County,...
Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has spread globally, resulting in >300,000 reported cases worldwide as of March 21st, 2020. Here we investigate genetic diversity and genomic epidemiology Northern California using samples from returning travelers, cruise ship passengers, community transmission with unclear infection sources. Virus genomes were sampled 29 patients diagnosed Feb 3rd through Mar 15th. Phylogenetic analyses revealed at least 8...
In Brief Objectives/Goal: We compared risk behaviors and HIV testing between recent (in the U.S. <5 years) established >5 Hispanic immigrant men (N = 410). Study: This study was a population-based, cross-sectional survey of HIV/sexually transmitted disease markers in age 18 to 35 years residing low-income census block groups 3 northern California counties. Results: Recent immigrants were less likely currently have main sexual partner (45.3% vs. 67.2%, P <0.01)) more ever used commercial sex...
What airway clearance techniques and exercise regimens are used by adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) in Australia when well or unwell? proportion of these believe that can be as a substitute for traditional techniques, how have they come to this belief? type is techniques?Cross-sectional survey at 13 CF centres Australia, using purpose-designed questionnaire.Six hundred ninety-two completed the questionnaire.The questionnaire included questions about: participants' current use exercise,...
Background: One quarter of mothers young children experience high levels depressive symptoms, and only half are identified by themselves or their providers. Little is known about what factors influence maternal provider recognition depression. We use data from the San Mateo County, California, Prenatal to Three project explore self-recognition, response, referral among low-income Hispanic infants toddlers. The goals (1) describe patterns self-recognition depression, reporting health...
Objectives. We evaluated risk for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in women residing low-income neighborhoods of northern California. Methods. A population-based sample 1707 women, aged 18 to 29, were surveyed and screened sexually transmitted infections HCV. Results. Women infected with HCV (2.5%) more likely have a history injection noninjection drug use, exchange sex money or drugs, infections. was independently associated herpes simplex type 2 (HSV-2) infection, heroin cocaine use....
To estimate the prevalence of urogenital chlamydial infection among young, low-income women in northern California and to describe correlates infection, a population-based door-to-door household cluster survey was conducted from 1996 through 1998. The participants included 1439 18-29 years age, with mean age 24 years, most whom were African American (43%) or Latina (23%) had median income $500-$999 per month. Most (94%) received health care past year, approximately 50% covered by state...
Background: Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections and may enhance transmission HIV. However, population-based estimates HSV-2 prevalence correlates infection are rare. Goals: To obtain to identify demographic sexual behavioral among women in low-income communities Northern California. Study Design: A randomized, single-stage, cluster sample, cross-sectional survey age 18 29 years who reside 1990 US Census block groups at lowest tenth...
In March, 2020, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), causal agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), was spreading in Bay Area, especially Santa Clara County, causing increases cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.The Association Area Health Officials (ABAHO) represents 13 health jurisdictions.On March 15, local officers 7 ABAHO members (counties Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, Mateo, city Berkeley) decided to issue legal orders on 16 for 6.7...
Background Despite an effective vaccine, 60,000 new HBV infections were reported in the US 2004; 95% adults. We evaluate sero-prevalence, risk behaviors and self-reported vaccination among Latino immigrant, Asian immigrant born low income men five northern California counties. Methods Population based, cross sectional survey of sero-prevalence aged 18 to 35 years. Results Among 1,512 screened, immigrants most likely have had prior infection (15.1%) chronic (3.8%) compared (prior 5.1%, 0.6%)...
Experts support integrated health systems for children to stimulate risk reduction and promote child health.1 In 1998, California counties were required develop service as part of tobacco surtax funds contained in Proposition 10, the Children Families First Act. Counties have looked “Pre-to-Three” program started 1996 San Mateo County, Calif, a potential model. Pre-to-Three was designed development by creating partnerships among agencies facilitate early identification medical...
Abstract Background Much of the early data on COVID-19 symptomatology was captured in hospital setting. In a community setting symptoms most predictive SARS-CoV-2 positivity may be different. Data from California sites testing program are presented here. Methods Prior to being tested, participants Baseline Testing Program completed an online screener, which they self-reported basic demographics and presence or absence 10 symptoms. Both positive negative RT-PCR tests were linked back screener...
Half a century ago, paperless work environments were speck on the horizon. Theoretically, introduction of computers with visual displays would eliminate need for printing because information could be shared digitally. The idea publishing—rapid delivery content to an expanded audience—followed. But what about publishers themselves becoming paperless? Would workflow process, and final product, suffer? This case study details how Publications Department at American Urological Association...
