Issue 12, March 25, 2013
The report consists of four components:
- Top Ten Articles of the Week
- CDC-authored publications
- Key scientific articles in featured topic areas (this week featuring Chronic Diseases and Conditions – Colorectal Cancer)
- Public health articles noted in the media
Science Clips leads off this week with a pair of featured articles focusing on increasing the effectiveness of chronic disease prevention and control strategies. SS Smithexternal icon and colleagues find that combination nicotine replacement therapy shows improved six-month tobacco abstinence rates when compared with nicotine patches and counseling. Population-wide benefits of such an approach in increasing the number of those who quit smoking might be substantial. An analysis led by PG Coxsonexternal icon finds substantial projected mortality benefits from dietary sodium reduction, regardless of whether data from epidemiologic studies or clinical trials is used for model inputs.
Novel and emerging infectious diseases occupy several slots among this week’s features. An NEJM article first-authored by DC Payneexternal icon finds, using data from two years of active surveillance, that norovirus is now the most common cause of medically attended childhood gastroenteritis, and is responsible for nearly one million healthcare visits annually. Infections in home health care, nursing home, and hospice care patients are the focus of the study by LL Dwyerexternal icon et al, who find similar rates of infection in each of these three patient groups. A Purfield, N Ahmadexternal icon and colleagues provide important awareness concerning Rhesus monkey kidney cells contaminated with Coccidioides spp, which were distributed to laboratories in 38 states.
Diverse community-based public health interventions, across a wide variety of settings, provide several interesting feature entries this week. LG Brownexternal icon from the National Center for Environmental Health summarizes lessons learned from restaurant food safety studies, including important unanswered questions. Schools are the focus of a web-based survey conducted by JR Millerexternal icon along with state-based and CDC colleagues, which documents improvements in use of non-pharmaceutical interventions in Pennsylvania public schools following the “spring wave” of the 2009 influenza A (pH1N1) pandemic. Turning to a global health setting, the potential positive impact of community management of lymphedema in lymphatic filariasis patients is documented by a group led by PJ Budgeexternal icon.
Clips featured articles conclude this week with articles relevant to sexual transmission of infectious diseases. In an analysis of county-level sexually transmitted infection (STI) rates, K Owusu-Edusei Jrexternal icon et al find that racial disparities in income may be more important than household income levels as a determinant of STI rates. A cross-sectional study of sexual transmission of hepatitis C virus, first authored by NA Terraultexternal icon, finds extremely low risk for transmission between long-term heterosexual couples.
