TY - Journal Article AU - Weiss, Kali AU - Harland, Karisa K AU - Findlay, Shannon AB - Healthcare professionals play a vital role in the identification and assistance of individuals affected by trafficking who are seen in the healthcare setting. The objective of this project was to analyze a screening tool with newly added questions specifically geared at human trafficking and determine its efficacy in identifying trafficked persons who were seen in the emergency department or who were inpatients. AB - This retrospective cohort study occurred at a large Level 1 trauma center located in the Midwest. Nursing staff administered a mandatory Abuse Risk + Human Trafficking tool. A retrospective chart review was conducted. Data from the abuse screen were reviewed from April 1, 2021, to February 28, 2023. AB - Of all positive screens on the Abuse Risk + Human Trafficking tool, 33% were positive for at least one human trafficking question. Among those with a positive screen on the human trafficking questions, 25 screenings (20 adults, five minors) were associated with patients who had documentation highly concerning for trafficking. There were also 11 screenings with documentation highly concerning for trafficking that did not screen positive on any human trafficking questions and were positive for the non-human-trafficking questions only. AB - The addition of three human trafficking questions to create the Abuse Risk + Human Trafficking tool resulted in an increase in the identification of individuals exploited by human trafficking in this hospital setting when compared with the existing Abuse Risk tool that did not have the additional human trafficking questions.

In the United States (US) both the frequency of AB - as a cause of HDC and in vitro resistance to fluconazole has increased steadily since 1992. Although this species is generally considered to be less virulent than AB - , recent findings suggest that gain of function (GOF) mutations in the transcriptional regulator CgPdr1p results not only in broad resistance to azole antifungals but also an increase in both fitness and virulence in animal models. Furthermore, case reports and case series suggest the emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR) in this species. Recent data from multicenter surveys conducted in the US have demonstrated the emergence of co-resistance to both azoles and echinocandins in clinical isolates of AB - . These findings are highlighted in an effort to bring attention to this important development.

AB - Primary goals of the evaluation were to assess how AFRO-MoVE addressed its objectives supporting regional vaccine effectiveness (VE) studies, to describe challenges and opportunities, and make recommendations to strengthen future efforts related to regional VE research. AB - From September 2023 through June 2024, a mixed-methods approach was employed to synthesize information from: (1) documentation provided by AFRO-MoVE; (2) a standardized study review tool; (3) an electronic stakeholder survey; and (4) a series of key informant interviews. Data were collected and exported via REDCap and summarized using Microsoft Excel. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the qualitative data. Perceived challenges were summarized together with perceived support by the network in addressing each challenge. AB - AFRO-MoVE provided support to ten VE studies, including support for protocol development, study implementation, data management, and analysis, while also facilitating knowledge exchange and experience sharing among study implementers. While respondents reported strengthened capacity for VE studies at the national and regional levels in these areas, enrollment of SARS-CoV-2 positive cases was challenging, due to a decline in reported cases in network countries in mid-2022, when many studies were launched. These challenges contributed to a lack of published VE estimates from network study sites in time to inform vaccine policy. AB - AFRO-MoVE technical assistance and financial support was viewed positively by network members and contributed to increased capacity for conducting VE studies in the region. Publication of study results would further bolster the impact of the network. These finding underscore opportunities to enhance capacity for rapid VE generation and support preparedness for future pandemics.

We then examine the relationship between sending regions of Mexico and certain workplace outcomes, specifically likelihood of working for a foreign labor contractor, subsector of H-2A labor, and risk of being charged to participate in the program. Findings include a higher risk of predatory recruitment practices for men from Chiapas, Oaxaca, and Guerrero, and a funneling effect towards agriculture (as opposed to nurseries) for those same states. Intended as exploratory research, the results lay the groundwork for similar projects in other states and suggest a place-based approach for developing improvements to the H-2A program.

AB - Advances in medical and surgical therapy have improved the outlook for those affected with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis; however, it is unclear whether Americans from marginalized racial and ethnic backgrounds have adequate and equitable access to care for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We evaluated the association between race and ethnicity and healthcare utilization in patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease. AB - This study identified children and adults diagnosed with IBD in 2 national data sets from 2016 to 2017. We modeled the association between healthcare utilization and racial and ethnic subpopulations across different age groups using generalized estimating equations adjusted by disease and socioeconomic factors. AB - Among working-age adults, Black Americans had higher emergency department admission, hospitalization, and steroid use than White patients; however, these differences were attenuated after adjusting for socioeconomic factors. Asian and Hispanic Americans were less likely to receive outpatient gastroenterological care and medical therapy even after adjustment. Emergency department use was more likely among elderly Black patients. Hispanic children had increased healthcare utilization for IBD compared with White children, although these results did not meet statistical significance. AB - Healthcare utilization for long-term management of IBD is lower in historically marginalized racial and ethnic groups compared with White Americans. Further research is needed to identify and address modifiable patient, clinician, and healthcare system barriers to achieve health equity in the management of IBD.

AB - In clinical populations, vitamin B AB - deficiency has been associated with adverse metabolic health (e.g., gestational diabetes). Population-level data among women of reproductive age could inform screening and interventions. The objective of this analysis was to examine the prevalence of adverse metabolic characteristics (elevated adiposity and central adiposity, hypertension, elevated glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c]) and associations of vitamin B AB - status with metabolic characteristics in women as part of a population-based biomarker survey in Southern India. AB - Participants (n = 980 women 15-40 y; not pregnant or lactating) were assessed for total vitamin B AB - , holotranscobalamin, methylmalonic acid, homocysteine, and HbA1c. Categorical anthropometry assessments and bioelectrical impedance analysis (e.g., whole body (WF%) and trunk (TF%) fat) were assessed among adults (≥18 y). Linear and binomial regressions were used to examine associations of vitamin B AB - status with metabolic characteristics. AB - Overall, 25 % of participants had HbA1c ≥5.7 % (HbA1c ≥5.7-<6.5 %: 20.0 %; ≥6.5 %: 5.0 %), and 18.6 % had hypertension (Stage 1: 16.4 %; Stage 2: 2.2 %). Among adults, 23.4 % had body mass index of (BMI) 25.0-<30.0 kg/m AB - , 9.6 % had BMI ≥30.0 kg/m AB - , 13.4 % had elevated waist circumference (WC; >88.9 cm), and 20.8 % had elevated waist-hip ratio (WHR; ≥0.85 cm). Overall, higher vitamin B AB - concentrations were associated with lower BMI and WC. Among adults, higher vitamin B AB - concentrations were associated with lower WF% and TF%; and lower prevalence of overweight (BMI ≥25.0 kg/m AB - ) and elevated WC, WHR, and WF%. Similarly, vitamin B AB - <148 pmol/L was associated with higher BMI and WC overall and, among adults, higher WF% and TF%, and increased overweight (BMI ≥25.0 kg/m AB - ; prevalence ratio: 1.31; 95 % confidence interval: 1.09-1.58), and elevated WC (>88.9 cm; 1.85 [1.32-2.60]), WHR (≥85.0; 1.38 [1.07-1.78]), WF% (>35 %; 1.29 [1.10-1.51]), and TF% (>35 %; 1.25 [1.06-1.49]). AB - The burden of adverse metabolic characteristics was substantial in this population of young, apparently healthy women. Among those with vitamin B AB - <148 pmol/L there was increased central adiposity and overweight status. Evaluating vitamin B AB - and metabolic outcomes prospectively could inform screening and interventions to improve women's health. AB - NCT04048330.

However, little is known about how successful people are at detecting ticks on themselves or others when using this method. We developed a tool for evaluating factors affecting the efficacy of tick checks using mannequins. In 2022 and 2023, we recruited 207 participants to complete a brief survey and perform a tick check on a mannequin, where dead Ixodes scapularis Say larvae, nymphs, and adults had been glued at various locations. None of the survey results (demographics, knowledge, attitude, and concerns about ticks and tick-borne disease) were associated with likelihood of tick detection. On average, participants detected 42% of nymphs on the mannequin. Adult females were 3 to 4 times more likely to be detected than nymphs. Ticks above the waistline were detected 3 times more frequently than ticks below. Ticks that were on white-colored clothing were 3 times more likely to be detected than those on dark-colored clothing. Ticks that were not covered by hair or clothing were 2 times more likely to be detected than covered ticks. These findings show that there are multiple factors that may limit tick detection during a tick check. Outreach should emphasize the importance of awareness of size variation between stages, completing a thorough whole-body examination including the lower limbs and covered locations, and wearing light-colored clothing.

AB - Understanding of long-term lung cancer risks from radon decay products (RDP) exposure derives largely from studies of uranium miners. We aimed to compare mortality for lung and other cancers to the general population, to estimate excess absolute rate (EAR) and excess relative rate (ERR) from RDP exposure, and to estimate the joint effects of RDP and cigarette smoking in extended follow-up of a cohort of 4137 male uranium miners from the US Colorado Plateau. AB - We extended mortality follow-up through 2016 and re-evaluated RDP exposure against original work history and mine records. We calculated standardised mortality ratios (SMRs) compared with a regional population, evaluated EAR of lung cancer mortality using standardised rate ratios and modelled ERR using Cox proportional hazards regression. We evaluated interactions of RDP with smoking pack-years, attained age (AA) and time-since-exposure (TSE). AB - There were 695 lung cancer deaths, including 146 among never-smokers and light smokers. The overall SMR was >4; the EAR per unit RDP exposure increased substantially with smoking pack-years and decades of follow-up. Lung cancer ERR decreased with AA and TSE. ERR attenuation at high exposure rates was smaller than observed elsewhere. Joint effects of RDP and smoking were submultiplicative but greater-than-additive, appearing closer to multiplicative at lower RDP exposures. Pancreas was the only other site showing a significantly positive ERR per unit exposure. AB - Excess rates of lung cancer mortality persist throughout the lifespan among this cohort of uranium miners. Information about RDP-smoking interactions is of interest for occupational and general population exposure.

A cross comparison of five state pool codes with the MAHC was conducted to quantify MAHC incorporation into these state codes. The proportion of MAHC code agreement with state codes in this study had a range of 14%-86%. Only 2% of all the MAHC codes available were present in all five state codes, conversely, 12% of the MAHC codes were not found in any state. These differences in code agreement highlight the challenge of measuring MAHC effectiveness at the national level. To improve aquatic safety at a national level, a potential solution is development and use of common core elements in state and local pool codes. Once there is a basis for code comparisons across states, public health programs can investigate whether core MAHC codes result in reduced waterborne illness outbreaks, drowning incidents, injuries from pool chemicals, health outcomes from exposure to disinfection by-products, and swimming-related emergency department visits.

Using genetic data from up to 5.1 million people (4.6% African ancestry, 14.4% American ancestry, 8.4% East Asian ancestry, 71.1% European ancestry and 1.5% South Asian ancestry) from the GIANT consortium and 23andMe, Inc., we developed ancestry-specific and multi-ancestry PGSs. The multi-ancestry score explained 17.6% of BMI variation among UK Biobank participants of European ancestry. For other populations, this ranged from 16% in East Asian-Americans to 2.2% in rural Ugandans. In the ALSPAC study, children with higher PGSs showed accelerated BMI gain from age 2.5 years to adolescence, with earlier adiposity rebound. Adding the PGS to predictors available at birth nearly doubled explained variance for BMI from age 5 onward (for example, from 11% to 21% at age 8). Up to age 5, adding the PGS to early-life BMI improved prediction of BMI at age 18 (for example, from 22% to 35% at age 5). Higher PGSs were associated with greater adult weight gain. In intensive lifestyle intervention trials, individuals with higher PGSs lost modestly more weight in the first year (0.55 kg per s.d.) but were more likely to regain it. Overall, these data show that PGSs have the potential to improve obesity prediction, particularly when implemented early in life.

This study assessed the accuracy of a smartphone telematics algorithm that classifies car trips as driver or non-driver. Participants' trips were measured for 4 weeks by, a research telematics application that uses the same data algorithms as leading auto-insurance companies. At the end of each week, participants completed a survey prompting them t ...

Kit AB - This study assessed the accuracy of a smartphone telematics algorithm that classifies car trips as driver or non-driver. Participants' trips were measured for 4 weeks by AB - , a research telematics application that uses the same data algorithms as leading auto-insurance companies. At the end of each week, participants completed a survey prompting them to review trips within the app and report time and nature of any misclassified trips. Overall accuracy of driver vs. non-driver classification was high (96.5%, SD = 5.1%). Sensitivity, the percentage of actual driver trips classified as such, was also high (97.5%, SD = 4.6%). Specificity, the percentage of non-driver trips classified as such, was slightly lower and more variable (91.2%, SD = 14.8%). The algorithm's accuracy was generally robust to a variety of phone characteristics, vehicle features, and driving habits.

AB - To combat declining trust in public health and effectively communicate during public health emergencies, it is critical for the public health workforce to engage with their communities through social media. Little is known about factors that influence the degree to which public health practitioners use social media for information sharing and bidirectional communication. This study aimed to examine perspectives on barriers to incorporating social media use into efforts to rebuild trust in public health. AB - 31 semistructured interviews were conducted with public health practitioners and subject matter experts. Common themes and barriers to using social media were identified using rapid thematic analysis and analyzed by levels of the socioecological framework. AB - Barriers to public health practitioner social media use included lack of training, time, and fear (individual-level); limited online and offline relationships (interpersonal); lack of resources and supportive policies (organizational); and politicization of public health (societal). AB - This study identifies modifiable factors that could be intervened upon to strengthen the public health workforce's social media communication and highlights existing efforts to address barriers. Sustained investment is required to ensure that public health communicators are maximally supported to effectively use social media for trust-building and communication during public health emergencies.

Urinalyses (UAs) have been increasingly incorporated into diagnostic stewardship interventions, but the impact of these interventions nationally has not been assessed. We describe UA and UC utilization practices using a nationwide dataset of patients admitted to acute care hospitals. AB - Design, Setting and Participants: We performed a retrospective cohort study of index UCs and their associated UAs performed for adult patients (age ≥ 18 years) admitted in U.S. acute care hospitals, participating in the PINC AI™ Healthcare Database (PHD) from January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2020. A positive UA was defined as >10 leukocytes per high power field, positive leukocyte esterase, or positive nitrite. AB - The overall rate of UCs in this study was 124.7 per 1000 discharges and annual UC rates decreased from 2017 (129.2) to 2020 (120.0). The proportion of UCs that had a positive UA increased from 60.5% in 2017 to 68.1% in 2020; UCs without a UA decreased from 19.3% to 10.5%, and UCs with a negative UA did not significantly change (20.2% to 21.5%). A multivariate multinomial logistic regression model identified male sex, age <65, and a diagnosis of cancer to be predictors of having a UC with a negative UA or no UA. AB - UC utilization decreased over the study period. The proportion of UCs with a positive UA increased. This may suggest a positive impact of diagnostic stewardship practices at the national level although further progress is needed.

AB - Volunteer firefighters often have lower cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and less access to health monitoring and fitness programs than career firefighters, yet few studies explore how individual and departmental factors influence their CRF. This study assessed associations between CRF and both firefighter-level (e.g., years of service, firefighting calls, and firefighter rank) and department-level (e.g., department characteristics and fitness infrastructure) factors among volunteer firefighters. Surveys were administered to United States volunteer firefighters and departments, capturing CRF and related characteristics. CRF was analyzed as both a continuous and categorical variable (≤8, >8-<10, 10-<12, ≥12 METs) using bivariate analyses and mixed effects linear and logistic regression. Among 569 incumbent volunteer firefighters from 41 departments, 79.9% did not meet the recommended 12 METs threshold. Only 56.8% of departments provided routine physical exams; 35.1% had a wellness coordinator or committee; and 40.5% offered fitness resources. More years of service were associated with lower CRF and reduced odds of meeting the 12 METs benchmark, while more frequent training and responding to more calls were associated with better CRF. These findings highlight individual and structural challenges for CRF in volunteer fire service, underscoring the need for targeted fitness support to protect firefighter health and community safety.

AB - In 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists suggested approaches, including upskilling and recruitment/hiring, to strengthen the workforce capacity in public health data science. We estimated the number of recently graduated data scientists who might be eligible for and potentially hirable into government public health jobs as a step toward filling data gaps in workforce planning. AB - We used data from the National Center for Education Statistics to calculate the number of data science graduates in 2023. As a proxy for interest in government public health among graduates, we used data from the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (graduation years 2015-2022). We multiplied the number of data science graduates from US academic institutions (from National Center for Education Statistics data) by the percentage of public health graduates who entered government public health employment (from Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health data) to estimate the number of data science graduates who might be eligible for and interested in government public health employment. AB - In 2023, 467 435 graduates were awarded a data science degree from a US institution. Depending on the government employment criteria, 8.3% to 15.7% of 96 578 public health graduates reported first-destination employment in government public health. The total number of data science graduates who might be eligible for and interested in government public health employment ranged from nearly 29 000 to >57 000. AB - These data contribute to the evidence base for public health workforce planning but are likely to be overestimates of supply. If the estimated supply of data scientists falls short of demand projections, staff data science upskilling and changes to academic curricula could be emphasized.

AB - Using the Kaiser Permanente Northwest (KPNW) Electronic Health Record, we identified adult plan members who accessed online COVID-19 screening e-visits and enumerated their subsequent medical encounters, tests for SARS-CoV-2, and test outcomes. AB - Between May 2020 and December 2021, members completed 55,139 e-visits, with disproportionate representation among females (65% vs. 53% in the overall membership) and members aged <45 years (61% vs. 39%). Thirty percent of patients (16,953) were managed entirely through e-visits and 70% received subsequent in-person care.

Increasing evidence suggests that communication between tumor cells (TCs) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) plays a substantial role in promoting progression of low-grade gliomas (LGG). Hence, it is becoming critical to model TAM-TC interplay and interrogate how the crosstalk affects prognosis of LGG patients. This article proposed a translat ...

TY - Journal Article AU - He, Xinwei AU - Sun, Xiaoqiang AU - Shao, Yongzhao AB - Increasing evidence suggests that communication between tumor cells (TCs) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) plays a substantial role in promoting progression of low-grade gliomas (LGG). Hence, it is becoming critical to model TAM-TC interplay and interrogate how the crosstalk affects prognosis of LGG patients. This article proposed a translational research pipeline to construct the multicellular interaction gene network (MIGN) for identification of druggable targets to develop novel therapeutic strategies. Firstly, we selected immunotherapy-related feature genes (IFGs) for TAMs and TCs using RNA-seq data of glioma mice from preclinical trials. After translating the IFGs to human genome, we constructed TAM- and TC- associated networks separately, using a training set of 524 human LGGs. Subsequently, clustering analysis was performed within each network, and the concordance measure K-index was adopted to correlate gene clusters with patient survival. The MIGN was built by combining the clusters highly associated with survival in TAM- and TC-associated networks. We then developed a MIGN-based survival model to identify prognostic signatures comprised of ligands, receptors and hub genes. An independent cohort of 172 human LGG samples was leveraged to validate predictive accuracy of the signature. The areas under time-dependent ROC curves were 0.881, 0.867, and 0.839 with respect to 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival rates respectively in the validation set. Furthermore, literature survey was conducted on the signature genes, and potential clinical responses to targeted drugs were evaluated for LGG patients, further highlighting potential utilities of the MIGN signature to develop novel immunotherapies to extend survival of LGG patients.
