Development of antibiotic metrics for hospitalists via multi ‐institutional modified Delphi survey
AbstractBackgroundClosing the gap between evidence-supported antibiotic use and real-world prescribing among clinicians is vital for curbing excessive antibiotic use, which fosters antimicrobial resistance and exposes patients to antimicrobial side effects. Providing prescribing information via scorecard improves clinician adherence to quality metrics.ObjectiveWe aimed to delineate actionable, relevant antimicrobial prescribing metrics extractable from the electronic health record in an automated way.DesignWe used a modified Delphi consensus-building approach.Settings and ParticipantsOur study entailed two iterations of an...

Year-round monitoring of three water sources in Qu ébec, Canada, reveals site-specific differences in conditions for Cryptosporidium and Giardia contamination
Canadian Journal of Microbiology, Ahead of Print. Cryptosporidium and Giardia are protozoan parasites responsible for gastrointestinal illnesses in humans and in animal species. The main way these parasites are transmitted is by ingestion of their (oo)cysts in drinking water. Monitoring (oo)cysts in water sources is beneficial to evaluate the quality of raw water supplying treatment plants. Currently, the only standardized protocol to enumerate these parasites from water samples is United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Method 1623.1. With this method, we monitored three major water sources in Quebec over a ...

Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2919: Smart Textile Impact Sensor for e-Helmet to Measure Head Injury
der
Concussions, a prevalent public health concern in the United States, often result from mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI), notably in sports such as American football. There is limited exploration of smart-textile-based sensors for measuring the head impacts associated with concussions in sports and recreational activities. In this paper, we describe the development and construction of a smart textile impact sensor (STIS) and validate STIS functionality under high magnitude impacts. This STIS can be inserted into helmet cushioning to determine head impact force. The designed 2 × 2 STIS matrix is com...

Prevalence of Positive Childhood Experiences Among Adults - Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, Four States, 2015-2021
MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2024 May 2;73(17):399-404. doi: 10.15585/mmwr.mm7317a3.ABSTRACTPositive childhood experiences (PCEs) promote optimal health and mitigate the effects of adverse childhood experiences, but PCE prevalence in the United States is not well-known. Using Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data, this study describes the prevalence of individual and cumulative PCEs among adults residing in four states: Kansas (2020), Montana (2019), South Carolina (2020), and Wisconsin (2015). Cumulative PCE scores were calculated by summing affirmative responses to seven questions. Subscores were created for fami...

Cigarette Smoking Among Pregnant Women During the Perinatal Period: Prevalence and Health Care Provider Inquiries - Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System, United States, 2021
MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2024 May 2;73(17):393-398. doi: 10.15585/mmwr.mm7317a2.ABSTRACTCigarette smoking during pregnancy increases the risk for pregnancy complications and adverse infant outcomes such as preterm delivery, restricted fetal growth, and infant death. Health care provider counseling can support smoking cessation. Data from the 2021 Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System were analyzed to estimate the prevalence of smoking before, during, and after pregnancy; quitting smoking during pregnancy; and whether health care providers asked about cigarette smoking before, during, and after pregnancy among women...
