Article Synopsis
- The study highlights significant health disparities in the timely provision of orchiopexy for cryptorchidism, particularly affecting Hispanic and African American males and those with public insurance.
- It found that during the pandemic, white patients experienced an increase in timely surgeries while non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic patients faced delays.
- Post-pandemic, publicly insured patients continued to have lower rates of timely surgery compared to those with private insurance, indicating ongoing inequities in pediatric urology care.
Objectives: The focus of this study was to calculate and contextualize response rates for a community-based study conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, a topic on which scant data exist, and to share lessons learned from recruiting and enrolling for implementation of future studies.
Design: The Life+Health Study, a cross-sectional population-based study designed to advance novel methods to measure and analyze multiple forms of discrimination for population health research.
Setting: The study recruited participants from 3 community health centers in Boston, Massachusetts, between May 2020 and July 2022.
Article Synopsis
- Influenza types A and B cause significant global health issues, infecting about 1 billion people and resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths each year.
- This study analyzed influenza B virus circulation in Senegal from 2010 to 2019, examining over 15,000 patient specimens and detecting the virus in about 8.7% of cases.
- Phylogenetic analysis revealed the presence of both B/Victoria and B/Yamagata lineages, along with some variations in the hemagglutinin gene, and indicated a seasonal pattern of influenza B infections.
Introduction: The Xpert MTB / RIF assay has a dual advantage on the one hand, the rapid diagnosis of even difficult cases by the standard technique of direct microscopic examination and on the other hand by the detection of resistance to rifampicin. Our objective was to determine the contribution of the Xpert test in the diagnosis of tuberculosis of all forms.
Materials And Method: retrospective, descriptive and analytical study carried out in the Pneumophtisiology department of the CHRU of Saint-Louis.
For many patients, a history of tuberculosis is synonymous with disabling sequelae, impaired quality of life, and high morbidity and mortality. This retrospective study reviewed the files of patients hospitalized for sequelae of thoracic tuberculosis during 2017, to assess its various manifestations and their impact on quality of life. Of the 176 patients included, 75 % were aged from 35 to 65 years.
