Impact of SARS-CoV-2 Infection on Physical Fitness in Air Force Basic Trainees.

Introduction: The impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection on physical fitness in previously healthy adults is not well understood. In this study, we assess the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the physical fitness test (PT) scores of Air Force basic trainees.

Materials And Methods: SARS-CoV-2 testing data and trainee fitness test scores for the calendar year 2021 were obtained from U.

Positivity and Follow-up Testing of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae Infections in Universally Screened Female Basic Military Trainees.

Introduction: Follow-up testing is recommended three months after patients initially test positive with Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC). Follow-up testing adherence in the United States has been reported below one third of women, even in universally insured populations. We assessed both the positivity of CT and GC infections in female basic military trainees and the rates of follow-up testing for those who tested positive.

Universal versus targeted coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) arrival antigen testing on subsequent COVID-19 infections in military trainees.

In this retrospective cohort study of military trainees, symptomatic-only coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) arrival antigen testing decreased isolation requirements without increasing secondary cases compared to universal antigen testing. Symptomatic-only arrival antigen testing is a feasible alternative for individuals entering a congregant setting with a high risk of COVID-19 transmission.

Perceptions of swine industry stakeholders on the use of water-based foam, high-expansion nitrogen foam, and carbon dioxide gas as methods of swine depopulation.

Emergency contingency plans for the U.S. swine industry, including depopulation protocols, that are essential to limit the spread of sudden outbreaks of infectious diseases is currently lacking.
