Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) occur commonly and often recur. However, recent data on the epidemiology of recurrent UTI (rUTI) are scarce.
Methods: Between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2020, index uncomplicated UTIs (uUTIs) from office, emergency department, hospital, and virtual care settings were identified from the electronic health records of women at Kaiser Permanente Southern California.
Article Synopsis
- A study of 148,994 adults with uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) found that 19% had a recurrence after a median of 300 days.
- The initial UTI was primarily caused by Escherichia coli (79%), but this decreased over time while Klebsiella spp. increased.
- Antibiotic resistance was common, with 57% of initial infections showing nonsusceptibility, rising to 65% in subsequent infections, indicating a need for ongoing monitoring of resistance patterns for better treatment strategies.
Autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS) from an adrenal adenoma can increase the risk for comorbidities and mortality. The dexamethasone suppression test (DST) is the standard method to diagnose ACS. A multi-site, retrospective cohort of adults with diagnosed adrenal tumors was used to understand patient characteristics associated with DST completion and ACS.

El currículo se basa principalmente en la Taxonomía para el Aprendizaje Significativo-TAS ( Taxonomy of Significant Learning) e incorpora teorías de la conducta y de aprendizaje para adultos, así como también los principios de control de riesgos ocupacionales. Los entrenamientos se implementaron con 836 trabajadores de habla hispana de 67 lecherías en el estado de Wisconsin, en los Estados Unidos.

- A safety and health curriculum was designed for dairy immigrant workers to improve knowledge, promote safe behaviors, and address communication gaps, thereby reducing occupational injuries and diseases.
- The training, based on the Taxonomy of Significant Learning, reached 836 Spanish-speaking workers from 67 Wisconsin dairy farms, with a notable 67% having never received prior safety training.
- Evaluation results showed a significant 25% increase in knowledge (p < .01), with workers expressing confidence in adopting safety practices and planning to communicate safety issues to farmers, thus aiding compliance with OSHA training requirements.
Background: Dairy farming is dangerous. Yearly, farms grow fewer and larger by employing immigrant workers, who have limited industrial agriculture experience and safety and health training.
Methods: We examined results of five focus groups with 37 Hispanic, immigrant dairy workers.
