Symptom Characterization and Outcomes of Sailors in Isolation After a COVID-19 Outbreak on a US Aircraft Carrier.

This case series describes the symptoms and outcomes of sailors during and after an outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on the USS Theodore Roosevelt.

Outcomes of Coronavirus Disease 2019 Drive-Through Screening at an Academic Military Medical Center.

Drive-through coronavirus disease 2019 screening can evaluate large numbers of patients while reducing healthcare exposures and personal protective equipment use. We describe the characteristics of screened individuals as well as drive-through process and outcome measures. Optimal drive-through screening involves rapid turnaround of test results and linkage to follow-up care.

Echocardiographic assessment of asymptomatic US Air Force members with early HIV infection.

Objective: People living with HIV (PLHIV) are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and development of subclinical echocardiographic abnormalities. However, there is scant evidence of the echocardiographic changes that occur shortly after seroconversion. In this study we describe the echocardiographic evaluations of asymptomatic US Air Force members who were diagnosed with HIV infection and evaluated at the San Antonio Military Medical Center between September 1, 2015 and September 30, 2016.

Association of Endothelial Dysfunction and Antiretroviral Therapy in Early HIV Infection.

Importance: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. Endothelial dysfunction (EDF) is involved in CVD pathogenesis; however, EDF onset after HIV acquisition and the potential for reversibility with antiretroviral therapy (ART) have not been evaluated to date.

Objective: To evaluate endothelial function with noninvasive reactive hyperemia index (RHI) in patients with early HIV infection at baseline and after ART initiation.

Effect of a Polyp Tracking and Notification Program on Colon Adenoma Surveillance and Compliance to Guideline Recommendations.

Background: Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer in the United States. Surveillance colonoscopy has been shown to reduce colorectal cancer risk. Medical institutions have implemented polyp tracking and notification programs (registries) to ensure adequate surveillance.
