Issue 10, March 11, 2013
This week’s featured articles lead off with a literature review by A Penman-Aguilarexternal icon et al focused on economic disadvantage as a key factor in teen childbearing; this article is part of a Public Health Reports supplement on sexual health. Another maternal and child health related review by J Rosenthalexternal icon and colleagues finds significant declines in neural tube defect prevalence in Latin America, with greater declines seen where folic acid fortification achieved population penetrance.
Safety of food along the “farm to table” continuum occupies two slots among the weekly features. A group of CDC authors led by F Medallaexternal icon finds increased resistance or nonsusceptibility of Salmonella strains to multiple broad spectrum antibiotics, despite declining multidrug resistance. At the “table” end of the spectrum, ME Kendallexternal icon and collaborators document the emergence of salsa and guacamole as important vehicles of foodborne disease outbreaks over the past thirty-five years.
Vaccinologists might speak of the “bench to bedside” continuum, as noted in a pair of articles this week. JA Belser and TM Tumpeyexternal icon summarize what has been learned from the use of mouse and ferret models to study highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza. Writing in Pediatrics, PA Gastanaduyexternal icon and collaborators note sustained declines in diarrheal disease deaths among children in all regions of Mexico following introduction of rotavirus vaccine.
Potential high-impact articles involving the global “big three” disease (HIV, malaria, and TB) complete this week’s top ten. In PLoS One, a group led by JC Chehabexternal icon note progress in TB and HIV program integration in South Africa, along with remaining gaps in clinical care. Also published in PLoS One is an analysis first-authored by DB Nguyenexternal icon, which favorably evaluates implementation of antiretroviral therapy in Vietnam. Switching to malaria, a systematic review and meta-analysis led by K Kayentaoexternal icon and published in JAMA finds that preventive therapy with 3 or more doses of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine had beneficial effects on infants compared to standard 2 dose regimens. A non-clinical malaria intervention (indoor residual spraying) is shown by LC Steinhardtexternal icon et al to result in lower risk of parasitemia and anemia, in a study conducted in northern Uganda.
