A Snapshot of Lead in Consumer Products Across Four US Jurisdictions.
Environ Health Perspect
July 2024
Pure Earth, New York, New York, USA.
Background: Following the removal of lead from gasoline, paint and pipes were thought to be the main sources of lead exposure in the United States. However, consumer products, such as certain spices, ceramic and metal cookware, traditional health remedies, and cultural powders, are increasingly recognized as important sources of lead exposure across the United States.
Objective: This paper reviews data from four US jurisdictions that conduct in-home investigations for children with elevated blood lead levels (BLLs) to examine the prevalence of lead exposures associated with consumer products, in comparison with housing-related sources.
Background: The World Heart Federation (WHF) published the first evidence-based guidelines on the echocardiographic diagnosis of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) in 2012. These guidelines have since been applied internationally in research and clinical practice. Substantial research has assessed the utility of the 2012 WHF criteria, including its applicability in low-resource settings.

Background: Automatic recognition of a person's gender as well as his or her unilateral load state are issues that are often analyzed and utilized by a wide range of applications. For years, scientists have recognized human gait patterns for purposes connected to medical diagnoses, rehabilitation, sport, or biometrics.
Objective: The present paper makes use of ground reaction forces (GRF) generated during human gait to recognize gender or the unilateral load state of a walking person as well as the combination of both of those characteristics.
Abbreviated Echocardiographic Screening for Rheumatic Heart Disease by Nonexperts with and without Offsite Expert Review: A Diagnostic Accuracy Study.

Global and Tropical Health Division, Menzies School of Health Research, Charles Darwin University, Darwin, Australia; Department of Paediatrics, Royal Darwin Hospital, Darwin, Australia; NT Cardiac, Darwin, Australia.
Background: Early detection of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) through echocardiographic screening can facilitate early access to effective treatment, which reduces the risk for progression. Accurate, feasible approaches to echocardiographic screening that can be incorporated into routine health services are needed. The authors hypothesized that offsite expert review could improve the diagnostic accuracy of nonexpert-obtained echocardiographic images.

Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, unprecedented pressure has been added to healthcare systems around the globe. Imaging is a crucial component in the management of COVID-19 patients. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) such as hand-carried ultrasound emerges in the COVID-19 era as a tool that can simplify the imaging process of COVID-19 patients, and potentially reduce the strain on healthcare providers and healthcare resources.
