Article Synopsis
- The study examines the different impacts of COVID-19 on New York City communities across varying income levels.
- High-income populations had higher transmission rates during off-peak times, but low-income areas experienced greater hospitalization and death rates overall.
- The findings highlight how the pandemic intensified existing social inequalities, with low-income neighborhoods facing more severe health outcomes despite lower infection rates.
Objective: The aim of the study is to describe rates of hematuria and other lower urinary tract symptoms, including self-reported cancer rates, among veterans postburn pits emissions exposure during deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Methods: US post-9/11 veterans with burn pits emissions exposure confirmed via DD214 forms in the Burn Pits360.org Registry were sent a modified survey.
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a T-helper type-2 (Th2/T2) cell-mediated disease characterized by 15 or more eosinophils per high-powered esophageal biopsy microscopy field (eos/hpf), excluding other causes. EoE is often clinically characterized by symptoms such as dysphagia, nausea, food impaction, and chest pain that do not respond to antacids. Two-thirds of patients are unresponsive to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).

Later in the patient's hospital course, a typical clincal picture of pulmonary embolism developed. The issues examined in this report include: (1) the incidence of asymptomatic pulmonary embolism; (2) the value of the baseline ventilation perfusion (VQ) lung scan for the diagnosis of DVT; and (3) the value of an echocardiogram in diagnosing pulmonary embolism.
