Resurgence of Chern-Simons Theory at the Trivial Flat Connection.

Some years ago, it was conjectured by the first author that the Chern-Simons perturbation theory of a 3-manifold at the trivial flat connection is a resurgent power series. We describe completely the resurgent structure of the above series (including the location of the singularities and their Stokes constants) in the case of a hyperbolic knot complement in terms of an extended square matrix (, )-series whose rows are indexed by the boundary parabolic -flat connections, including the trivial one. We use our extended matrix to describe the Stokes constants of the above series, to define explicitly their Borel transform and to identify it with state-integrals.

HPV genotype-specific prevalence and infection risks: A 10-year population-based study from the United States.

Background: Various studies have reported on the impact of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines. Here we present the largest population-based investigation of genotype-specific distributions over the decade following implementation of the 4-valent HPV vaccine (HPV6/11/16/18) in the United States.

Methods: Liquid-based cervical cytology samples from individuals aged 15-30 years undergoing cervical screening throughout New Mexico were tested by broad-spectrum HPV genotyping.

What are the unintended patient safety consequences of healthcare technologies? A qualitative study among patients, carers and healthcare providers.

Objective: To identify patient-safety-related unintended consequences of healthcare technologies experienced by their primary users: patients, carers and healthcare providers (HCPs).

Design: Qualitative study based on data collected in online focus groups. Transcripts were analysed inductively after each focus group using reflexive thematic analysis, focusing on identifying unintended consequences of healthcare technologies with implications for patient safety.

Nine phage genomes recovered from wastewater in Tempe, AZ, October 2019-March 2020.

We describe nine microvirus genomes identified in wastewater in Tempe, AZ, USA, between October 2019 and March 2020. The major capsid protein (MCP) encoded in these genomes phylogenetically cluster together and are distinct from the MCPs of microviruses identified in Mexico and Argentina.

Promise and Perils of Primary HPV Testing.

Cervical cancer screening has reduced morbidity and mortality in many countries, but efforts to optimize screening modalities and schedules are ongoing. Using data from a randomized trial conducted in British Columbia, Canada, in conjunction with a provincial screening registry, Gottschlich and colleagues demonstrated that the estimated risk for precancerous disease (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grades 2 or worse) at 8 years following a negative human papillomavirus (HPV) test was similar to the current standard of care (Pap testing after 3 years). The study supports extending screening intervals for those with a negative HPV test beyond currently recommended 5-year intervals.
