Design: Retrospective cohort from May 2022 to December 2022.
Nowcasting to Monitor Real-Time Mpox Trends During the 2022 Outbreak in New York City: Evaluation Using Reportable Disease Data Stratified by Race or Ethnicity.

January 2025
Bureau of Communicable Disease, New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Long Island City, NY, United States.
Background: Applying nowcasting methods to partially accrued reportable disease data can help policymakers interpret recent epidemic trends despite data lags and quickly identify and remediate health inequities. During the 2022 mpox outbreak in New York City, we applied Nowcasting by Bayesian Smoothing (NobBS) to estimate recent cases, citywide and stratified by race or ethnicity (Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, and White). However, in real time, it was unclear if the estimates were accurate.

The risk of herpes zoster (HZ) and postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) increases rapidly after the age of 50 years old. The incidence of herpes zoster and PHN appears to be correctly measured albeit irregularly and the immediate and long-term complications are so poorly measured that the perception of a benign disease remains entrenched among professionals and in the general population. Because acute-phase treatments are only marginally effective in reducing the severity and duration of complications, zoster vaccines have been developed over the last twenty years.

Purpose: The purpose of this quality improvement project was to determine whether hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) could be prevented by implementing an educational tool kit for patient care technicians (PCTs).
Participants And Setting: Data were collected from 24 PCTs and 43 patients in a 26-bed inpatient adult acute care unit at an academic medical center in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States.
Approach: Outcome data were collected over an 8-week period from September to November 2021.
Increased rate of multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacterial infections in hospitalized immunocompromised pediatric patients.
Front Cell Infect Microbiol
January 2025
Center for Infectious Diseases Research (CIDR) and WHO Collaborating Center for Reference and Research on Bacterial Pathogens, American University of Beirut, Beirut, Lebanon.
Introduction: Multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections are considered a major public health threat. Immunocompromised pediatric patients are at a great risk of severe or overwhelming infections. The aim of this study was to describe the frequency of infections with multidrug resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) in immunocompromised pediatric patients and to determine the risk factors.
