Despite current treatments, patients who have acute coronary syndromes without ST-segment elevation high rates of major vascular events. We evaluated the efficacy and safety antiplatelet agent clopidogrel when given with aspirin in such patients.
Approximately 60 million persons in the United States live rural counties, representing almost one fifth (19.3%) of population.* In September 2020, COVID-19 incidence (cases per 100,000 population) counties surpassed that urban (1). Rural communities often have a higher proportion residents who lack health insurance, with comorbidities or disabilities, are aged ≥65 years, and limited access to care facilities intensive capabilities, which places these at increased risk for...
Rotavirus vaccine use in national immunisation programmes has led to declines hospital admissions for rotavirus gastroenteritis among children; however, the global impact of introduction not been described using primary data. We describe on acute primarily low-income and middle-income countries, 9 years data from WHO-coordinated Global Surveillance Network (GRSN).
Background Other than aspirin, there are few oral antithrombotic treatments with proven efficacy in patients acute coronary syndrome. In this report, we present the rationale, design and baseline characteristics of Clopidogrel Unstable angina to prevent Recurrent ischaemic Events (CURE) trial, which includes a meta-analysis effects thienopyridines vascular disease.
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are a major public health problem among young people and can lead to the spread of HIV. Previous studies have primarily addressed barriers STD care for symptomatic patients. The purpose our study was identify perceptions about existing ideal services STDs, especially asymptomatic screening, in southeastern community. Eight focus group discussions including 53 White, African American, Latino youth (age 14–24) were conducted. Perceived included lack...
Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus is the most important vaccine-preventable cause of in Asia-Pacific region. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends integration JE vaccination into national immunization schedules all areas where disease a public health priority (1). This report updates previous summary surveillance and programs Asia Western Pacific 2012 (2). Since 2012, funding for has become available through GAVI Alliance, three vaccines have been WHO-prequalified,* an updated WHO...
OBJECTIVES: Gonorrhea cases among men who have sex with (MSM) declined in the early years of HIV epidemic. We evaluated more recent trends gonorrhea MSM through Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance Project. METHODS: Isolates case information were collected from 29 US sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics. urethritis compared those heterosexual men, 1995 to 1999 earlier cases. RESULTS: Of 34,942 cases, proportion represented by increased 4.5% 1992...
Compared with other age groups, older adults (defined here as persons aged ≥65 years) are at higher risk for COVID-19-associated morbidity and mortality have therefore been prioritized COVID-19 vaccination (1,2). Ensuring access to vaccines has a focus of federal, state, local response efforts, CDC monitoring coverage identify address disparities among subpopulations (2). Vaccine administration data submitted were analyzed determine the prevalence initiation years by demographic...
Antimicrobial susceptibilities of Neisseria gonorrhoeae have been prospectively determined in the Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance Project Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. From 1988 through 1994, were 35,263 isolates from 27 clinics. Patients demographically similar to those nationally reported gonorrhea cases. In 30.5% had chromosomally or plasmid-mediated resistance penicillin tetracycline. Penicillin increased (8.4%) 1991 (19.5%) then decreased 1994 (15.6%). Tetracycline (23.4%)...
Thailand began a national antiretroviral (ARV) treatment program in 2000, and all government some private university hospitals now provide to eligible HIV-infected patients. We describe scale-up patient outcomes from 2000 2007.Data 839 76 provinces of were included this analysis. Outcomes assessed for patients initiating ARV January December 2005. Follow-up data through March 2007 included; lost follow-up was defined as >3 months late visit. A Cox proportional hazard model used assess risk...
Pneumococcal carriage is a prerequisite for disease, and underpins herd protection provided by pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs).There are few data on the impact of PCVs in lower income settings, particularly Asia.In 2013, Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) introduced 13-valent PCV (PCV13) as 3 + 0 schedule (doses at 6, 10 14 weeks age) with limited catch-up vaccination.We conducted two cross-sectional surveys (pre-and years post-PCV) to assess PCV13 nasopharyngeal 5-8 week old...
Countries like Vietnam transitioning to middle-income status increasingly bear the cost of both existing and new vaccines. However, impact cost-effectiveness Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) as a whole has never been assessed country level. Data vaccine-preventable disease incidence mortality from Vietnam's national surveillance was analysed estimate likely that vaccination in 1980–2010 may have had. Adjustment for under-reporting made by examining trends reported mumps case-fatality...
The serovars of Neisseria gonorrhoeae that are predominant in a community change over time, phenomenon may be due to the development immunity repeat infection with same serovar. This study evaluated epidemiologic evidence for serovar-specific N. gonorrhoeae. During 17-month period 1992–1994, all clients sexually transmitted disease clinic rural North Carolina underwent genital culture Gonococcal isolates were serotyped according standard methods. Odds ratios serovar versus any different...
Patients from five clinics in North and South Carolina who had lesions suggestive of primary or secondary syphilis were evaluated using molecular techniques that allow the differentiation Treponema pallidum strains on basis two variable genes, tpr arp. Lesion samples screened for presence T. DNA PCR polA, which represents a segment polymerase I gene is unique to spirochete. Twenty-seven 154 lesion found contain pallidum, 23 typeable DNA. Seven subtypes (10f, 12f, 13f, 14f, 14g, 15f, 16f);...
To describe demographic and geographic trends in gonorrhea incidence the United States from 1981 through 1996.We analyzed aggregate cases reported to Centers for Disease Control Prevention by 50 states, District of Columbia, 63 large cities. Annual rates (cases/100,000 persons) were calculated.Between 1996, decreased 71.3%, 431.5 124.0 cases/100,000. However, among blacks 35 times higher than whites 1996 (684.6 versus 19.4) compared with 11 (1,894.3 164.3). Among women all races, 15 19 year...
Abstract The country of Fiji, with a population approximately 870 000 people, faces growing burden several communicable diseases including the bacterial infection typhoid fever. Surveillance data suggest that has become increasingly common in rural areas Fiji and is more frequent amongst young adults. Transmission organisms cause facilitated by faecal contamination food or water may be influenced local behavioural practices Fiji. Fijian Ministry Health, support from Australian Aid, hosted...
