TI Interlaboratory evaluation of a standardized inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry method for the determination of trace elements in air filter samples: preliminary results SO ANALYTICAL METHODS LA English DT Article ID METALS AB An interlaboratory evaluation of a standardized inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method for determining trace elements in workplace air samples was carried out, toward fulfillment of method validation requirements for international voluntary consensus standard test methods. The interlaboratory study was performed in accordance with an applicable ASTM International standard practice, ASTM E691, which describes statistical procedures for investigating interlaboratory precision. Performance evaluation materials, prepared by a contract laboratory, consisted of mixed-cellulose ester filters that were spiked with 21 elements of interest at levels of 0.50 or 5.0 micrograms (mu g) per filter. Triplicates of each spiked filter, plus media blanks spiked with blank reagent, were conveyed to each volunteer laboratory; spiking levels were unknown to the participants. The laboratories were requested to prepare the filter samples by one of the three sample preparation procedures (hotplate or microwave digestion or hotblock extraction) that are described in the standard test method, ASTM D7439. Participants were then asked to analyze aliquots of the prepared samples by ICP-MS using ASTM D7439, and to report their data in units of mu g per filter sample. Preliminary interlaboratory precision and recovery estimates from 20 volunteer laboratories are reported. C1 [Ashley, Kevin] NIOSH, US Dept HHS, Ctr Dis Control & Prevent, Cincinnati, OH 45226 USA.

SO ANNALS OF EPIDEMIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Preterin Birth; Low Birth Weight; African Americans; Unemployment Trends Socioeconomic Factors ID HISPANIC AFRICAN-AMERICANS; INCOME-TAX CREDIT; INFANT HEALTH; WELFARE-REFORM; DELIVERY RATES; MANAGED CARE; MORTALITY; TRENDS; EMPLOYMENT; MOTHERS AB PURPOSE: Macroeconomic improvements have been posited as an explanation of the decline in the Black preterm birth rate during the 1990s. This study assessed whether decreasing unemployment explained the decline in preterm, low birth weight births (PT-LBW) for Black women. METHODS: United States singleton births to non-Hispanic Black women ages 18 and over, conceived between 1990 and 2001, were pooled to examine PT-LBW trends by level of social advantage (approximated by education and marital status). The impact of the state-level unemployment rate in the first and second trimester of pregnancy was evaluated in multiple logistic regression models. RESULTS: During the 1990s, PT-LBW declined 11% among disadvantaged (unmarried, less than high school educated) Black women. Although the unemployment rate and PT-LBW were positively related, decreases in unemployment did not explain the decline in PT-LBW. Instead, improvements in prenatal care utilization and smoking behavior largely accounted for the temporal trend. CONCLUSIONS: Macroeconomic improvements, measured by unemployment, only marginally contributed to the Black PT-LBW trend in the 1990s. To effect further reductions, future studies should investigate other possible determinants of the proximate behavioral changes that did explain the trend (e.g., Earned Income Tax Credit expansions, increased, cigarette taxes/smoking legislation).

TI Influenza antiviral prescribing practices during the 2007-08 and 2008-09 influenza seasons in the setting of increased resistance to oseltamivir among circulating influenza viruses SO ANTIVIRAL RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Influenza; Antiviral use guidelines; Antiviral resistance; Physician education ID EMERGING INFECTIONS NETWORK; UNITED-STATES; DISEASES SOCIETY; NATIONAL-SURVEY; AMERICA; VACCINE AB Introduction: In December 2008, new interim guidelines on the use of influenza antiviral agents were released in response to a high prevalence of circulating oseltamivir-resistant seasonal influenza A(H1N1) and adamantane-resistant influenza A(H3N2) viruses. Zanamivir, oseltamivir +/- an adamantane, or oseltamivir was recommended, depending on virus type, subtype, and local surveillance data. Materials and methods: Information about antiviral prescribing practices among IDSA Emerging Infections Network (EIN) members was obtained using two web-based questionnaires; one in January 2009 regarding the prior 2007-08 influenza season and one in April 2009 (prepandemic), regarding the concurrent 2008-09 season. Results: In the 2007-08 survey, 646 (52%) of 1249 EIN members responded and in the 2008-09 season survey, 350(27%) of 1281 responded. In 2008-09 vs. 2007-08: 59% vs. 69% prescribed or recommended antivirals for treatment (p < .0001); 48% vs. 80% prescribed oseltamivir alone and 39% vs. 10% prescribed zanamivir alone (p < .0001 for both). During 2008-0928% reported treating fewer patients compared with 2007-08; 42% felt antivirals were less effective due to resistance and 40% felt patients had less severe illness. During 2008-09,42% of respondents reported difficulty providing zanamivir to patients vs. 5% for oseltamivir (p < .0001). Only 11% of respondents could test for influenza A subtype. During both seasons, similar to 55% used local surveillance data to make treatment decisions. Discussion: A mild winter influenza season, difficulty obtaining recommended agents, and lack of access to subtype diagnosis and surveillance data may have contributed to reduced antiviral use during 2008-09.

A single microneedle vaccination of mice with H5 VLPs induced increased levels of antibodies and provided complete protection against lethal challenge without apparent disease symptoms. In contrast, intramuscular injection with the same vaccine dose showed low levels of antibodies and provided only partial protection accompanied by severe body weight loss. Post-challenge analysis suggested that improved protection was associated with lower lung viral titers and enhanced generation of recall antibody secreting cells by microneedle vaccination. Thus, this study provides evidence that skin delivery of H5 VLP vaccines using microneedles designed for self-administration induces improved protection compared to conventional intramuscular immunization.

The purpose of this study was to examine the descriptive and psychometric properties of the scales (i.e. Satisfaction with Life, Meaning in Life, Positive and Negative Affect, Autonomy, Competence and Relatedness, and global and domain-specific life satisfaction) and to examine the distribution of well-being levels in a representative sample of community-dwelling US adults (N = 5,399) using a stratified analysis. The scales demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties. Responses were negatively skewed, with most respondents reporting mildly positive levels of subjective well-being. With the exception of autonomy, competence, and relatedness scales, all scales demonstrated good variability across socio-demographic subgroups. Older age and higher levels of education, and income, were associated with higher levels of subjective well-being. Most of the examined scales and related items merit consideration for continued testing in telephone surveys used in public health surveillance.

Objective: To examine the association between retrospectively reported childhood ADHD and conduct disorder (CD) symptoms and the perpetration of physical IPV in a population-based sample of young adults. Design, Setting, and Participants: The study population consisted of 11 238 participants (mean [SD] age, 22.0 [1.7] years) in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Multinomial logistic regressions and propensity score matching were used to analyze the relationships of IPV with symptoms of ADHD domains (hyperactive/impulsive and inattentive) and symptoms of CD as well as with ADHD and CD dichotomized on the basis of symptom criteria. Main Outcome Measures: Respondents' answers to the 2 questions in the wave III survey reflecting perpetration of physical violence toward a partner were used to define IPV perpetration. Intimate partner violence perpetration resulting in injury or not was assessed with a follow-up question. Results: Conduct disorder significantly predicted IPV perpetration both with and without injury. Controlling for CD and hyperactivity/impulsivity, inattention independently predicted young adult IPV perpetration without injury. Controlling for inattention and CD, no significant relationship between hyperactivity/impulsivity and IPV perpetration without injury was found. Results were different regarding IPV perpetration resulting in injury. Hyperactivity/impulsivity, but not inattention, independently predicted IPV perpetration resulting in injury. In categorical analyses, CD predicted both types of IPV, and ADHD significantly predicted IPV perpetration resulting in injury but did not significantly predict IPV perpetration without injury. Conclusions: Conduct disorder is consistently associated with violence in intimate relationships. Controlling for CD, there is also an association between ADHD and IPV. Results suggest the need for services and treatment strategies that specifically address the risks for violence and promote healthy intimate relationships for youths with CD and ADHD.

Job satisfaction was measured by a 4-Item scale from the Japanese version of the generic job stress questionnaire with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction Analyses were clone separately for women and men using a hierarchical multiple linear regression model controlling for multiple confounders The results revealed that greater job satisfaction was positively correlated with NKCC (beta = 207, p = 029) and the number of NK (CD3(-)CD56(+)) cells (beta = 261, p = 008) in women In men, job satisfaction was marginally correlated with NKCC (beta = 165, p=.050) but was not correlated with the number of NK (CD3 CD56(+)) cells (beta = 142; p = 107) Job satisfaction did not correlate with numbers of T (CD3(+)CD56(-)) and B (CD19(-)) cells in both women and men. Our findings suggest an Independent association between job satisfaction and NK cells but the association seems to be stronger in women than in men Although the results provide a support for the biological plausibility of the job satisfaction-health relationship, additional research is required to determine whether greater job satisfaction contributes to recovery/maintenance of NM cell immunity and host defense over time Published by Elsevier Inc C1 [Nakata, Akinori] NIOSH, Div Appl Res & Technol, Cincinnati, OH 45226 USA.

TI The impact of an emergency hiring plan on the shortage and distribution of nurses in Kenya: the importance of information systems SO BULLETIN OF THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION LA English DT Article ID HUMAN-RESOURCES; BRAIN-DRAIN; HEALTH AB Objective To analyse the effect of Kenya's Emergency Hiring Plan for nurses on their inequitable distribution in rural and underserved areas. Methods We used data from the Kenya Health Workforce Informatics System on the nursing workforce to determine the effect of the Emergency Hiring Plan on nurse shortages and maldistribution. The total number of nurses, the number of nurses per 100 000 population and the opening of previously closed or new heath facilities were recorded. Findings Of the 18 181 nurses employed in Kenya's public sector in 2009, 1836 (10%) had been recruited since 2005 through the Emergency Hiring Plan. Nursing staff increased by 7% in hospitals, 13% in health centres and 15% in dispensaries. North Eastern province, which includes some of the most remote areas, benefited most: the number of nurses per 100 000 population increased by 37%. The next greatest increase was in Nyanza province, which has the highest prevalence of HIV infection in Kenya. Emergency Hiring Plan nurses enabled the number of functioning public health facilities to increase by 29%. By February 2010, 94% of the nurses hired under pre-recruitment absorption agreements had entered the civil service. Conclusion The Emergency Hiring Plan for nurses significantly increased health services in Kenya's rural and underserved areas over the short term. Preliminary indicators of sustainability are promising, as most nurses hired are now civil servants. However, continued monitoring will be necessary over the long term to evaluate future nurse retention. The accurate workforce data provided by the Kenya Health Workforce Informatics System were essential for evaluating the effect of the Emergency Hiring Plan. C1 [Gross, J. M.; Rogers, M.

This improves upon traditional paper-based systems which are often fragmented, limited by incomplete data collection and inadequate analytical capacity, and incapable of providing timely information for public health action. Methods: ARTSSN concurrently analyzes multiple electronic data sources in real time to describe results in tables, charts and maps. Detected anomalies are immediately disseminated via alerts to decision-makers for action. Results: ARTSSN provides richly integrated information on a variety of health conditions for early detection of and prompt action on abnormal events such as clusters, outbreaks and trends. Examples of such health conditions include chronic and communicable disease, injury and environment-mediated adverse incidents. Discussion: Key advantages of ARTSSN over traditional paper-based methods are its timeliness, comprehensiveness and automation. Public health surveillance of communicable disease, injury, environmental hazard exposure and chronic disease now occurs in a single system in real time year round. Examples are given to demonstrate the public health value of this system, particularly during Pandemic (H1N1) 2009.

TI Urine Concentrations of a Tobacco-Specific Nitrosamine Carcinogen in the U.S. Population from Secondhand Smoke Exposure SO CANCER EPIDEMIOLOGY BIOMARKERS & PREVENTION LA English DT Article ID LUNG CARCINOGEN; METABOLITES; CANCER; BIOMARKERS; CIGARETTE; COTININE; CHILDREN AB Background: The tobacco-specific nitrosamine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) and its reduction product in the body, 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (NNAL), are potent pulmonary carcinogens. We have measured total NNAL in the U. S. population of tobacco users and nonsmokers exposed to secondhand smoke. Methods: We measured total urinary NNAL (free NNAL plus its glucuronides following hydrolysis) by using a sensitive and specific high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method. We calculated the percentage above the limit of detection, the 50th through 95th percentiles, and in some cases, geometric means for groups classified by age, gender, and race/ethnicity. Results: Total urinary NNAL was measureable at or above its limit of detection (0.6 pg/mL) in 55% of the study participants, including 41% of nonsmokers. The population distribution of urinary NNAL included smoker and nonsmoker regions similar to the bimodal distribution of serum cotinine, and serum cotinine and total urinary NNAL were strongly correlated (r = 0.92; P < 0.001). Among nonsmokers, children had significantly higher concentrations of NNAL than did adults with the age of >= 20 years (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Among National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey participants, total NNAL was found at measurable levels in the urine of 41% of nonsmokers and in 87.5% of those with substantial secondhand-smoke exposure (with serum cotinine concentrations of 0.1-10 ng/mL). Children with the age of 6 to 11 years had the highest NNAL concentrations among all nonsmokers. Impact: We describe for the first time the distribution of total urinary NNAL in the entire U. S. population, including smokers and nonsmokers. NNAL was detected in 41% of all nonsmokers. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 19(11); 2969-77. (C) 2010 AACR.

We followed 16,819 participants in NHANES III (Third National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey) from 1988 to 2006, expanding on an earlier NHANES III study (1988-2000). Using Cox proportional hazards regression models, we examined risk related to baseline serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] for total cancer mortality, in both sexes, and by racial/ethnic groups, as well as for site-specific cancers. Because serum was collected in the south in cooler months and in the north in warmer months, we examined associations by collection season ("summer/higher latitude" and "winter/lower latitude"). We identified 884 cancer deaths during 225,212 person-years. Overall cancer mortality risks were unrelated to baseline 25(OH) D status in both season/latitude groups, and in non-Hispanic whites, non-Hispanic blacks, and Mexican-Americans. In men, risks were elevated at higher levels {e. g., for = 100 nmol/L, relative risk (RR) = 1.85 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.02-3.35] compared with < 37.5 nmol/L}. Although risks were unrelated to 25(OH) D in all women combined, risks significantly decreased with increasing 25(OH) D in the summer/higher latitude group [for >= 100 nmol/L, RR = 0.52 (95% CI, 0.25-1.15) compared with < 37.5 nmol/L; P-trend = 0.03, based on continuous values]. We also observed a suggestion of an inverse association with colorectal cancer mortality (P-trend = 0.09) and a positive association with lung cancer mortality among males (P-trend = 0.03). Our results do not support the hypothesis that 25(OH) D is associated with reduced cancer mortality. Although cancer mortality in females was inversely associated with 25(OH) D in the summer/higher latitude group, cancer mortality at some sites was increased among men with higher 25(OH) D. These findings argue for caution before increasing 25(OH) D levels to prevent cancer. Cancer Res; 70(21); 8587-97. (C)2010 AACR. C1 [Freedman, D.

TI Development of a transplantation transmission sentinel network to improve safety and traceability of organ and tissues SO CELL AND TISSUE BANKING LA English DT Article DE Tissue banking; Transplantation; Surveillance; Sentinel networks; Traceability; Biovigilance; Organ and tissue safety ID RECIPIENTS; DONOR AB The US lags behind other developed countries in creating a system to monitor disease transmission and other complications from human allograft use, despite a pressing need. The risks of transmission are amplified in transplantation, since at least 8 organs and more than 100 tissues can be recovered from a single common organ and tissue donor. Moreover, since many allografts collected in the US are distributed internationally, tissue safety is a global concern. In June 2005, participants of a US government-sponsored workshop concluded that a communication network for the tracking and reporting of disease transmissions for tissues and organs was critically needed. The United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) entered into a cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2006 to develop a system prototype. Over the following 3 years, the Transplantation Transmission Sentinel Network (TTSN) was developed and piloted with the participation of organ procurement organizations, tissue banks and transplant centers. The prototype centered around three elements of data entry: (1) donation, (2) tissue implantation, and (3) adverse event. The pilot proved that a system can be built and operated successfully, but also suggested that users may be hesitant to report adverse events. CDC has requested further input on scope and cost to build a transplant surveillance infrastructure for a fully functional national system. For tissues however, in contrast to organs, tracking from recovery to implantation will be necessary before a system is operable, requiring common identifiers and nomenclature. Until a US sentinel network is operational, future transmission events that are preventable may result nationally and globally due to its absence.

TI Multiplex Assay Detection of Immunoglobulin G Antibodies That Recognize Giardia intestinalis and Cryptosporidium parvum Antigens SO CLINICAL AND VACCINE IMMUNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID VARIANT SURFACE-PROTEINS; EXPERIMENTAL HUMAN INFECTIONS; DRINKING-WATER SUPPLIES; IMMUNE-RESPONSE; PERUVIAN CHILDREN; VSP GENE; ENZYME-IMMUNOASSAY; LAMBLIA INFECTION; 17-KDA ANTIGEN; UNITED-STATES AB Giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis are common enteric parasitic diseases that have similar routes of transmission. In this work, we have identified epitopes within the Giardia variant-specific surface protein (VSP) sequences that are recognized by IgG antibodies from 13 of 14 (93%) sera from patients with stool-confirmed giardiasis. The conserved epitopes are shared among VSPs from both of the assemblages that commonly infect humans, and they are likely to be structural, as both sodium dodecyl sulfate treatment and dithiothreitol reduction decrease antibody recognition. In a multiplex bead assay (MBA), we used three VSP fragments from an assemblage A Giardia strain, three VSP fragments from assemblage B strains, and the alpha-1 giardin structural antigen to detect IgG antibodies to Giardia and used the recombinant 17- and 27-kDa antigens to simultaneously detect IgG antibodies to Cryptosporidium. The MBA differentiated between sera from Giardia and Cryptosporidium outbreaks and also identified a giardiasis outbreak that may have included cryptosporidiosis cases. Approximately 40% of cryptosporidiosis outbreak samples had high MBA responses for both the 27- and 17-kDa antigens, while <10% of nonoutbreak and giardiasis outbreak samples had high responses. At least 60% of giardiasis outbreak samples were positive for antibodies to multiple Giardia antigens, while <= 12% of nonoutbreak samples and samples from U. S. and British Columbia cryptosporidiosis outbreaks met our definition for Giardia seropositivity. A MBA using multiple parasite antigens may prove useful in the epidemiologic analysis of future waterborne or food-borne outbreaks of diarrheal disease.

TI Vaccination of Rhesus Macaques with the Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed Vaccine Produces a Serum Antibody Response That Effectively Neutralizes Receptor-Bound Protective Antigen In Vitro SO CLINICAL AND VACCINE IMMUNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID LETHAL TOXIN NEUTRALIZATION; HUMAN MONOCLONAL-ANTIBODY; BACILLUS-ANTHRACIS; SPORE CHALLENGE; GUINEA-PIGS; INHALATIONAL ANTHRAX; DOMAIN SPECIFICITY; CELLULAR RECEPTOR; TUMOR ENDOTHELIUM; CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE AB Anthrax toxin (ATx) is composed of the binary exotoxins lethal toxin (LTx) and edema toxin (ETx). They have separate effector proteins (edema factor and lethal factor) but have the same binding protein, protective antigen (PA). PA is the primary immunogen in the current licensed vaccine anthrax vaccine adsorbed (AVA [BioThrax]). AVA confers protective immunity by stimulating production of ATx-neutralizing antibodies, which could block the intoxication process at several steps (binding of PA to the target cell surface, furin cleavage, toxin complex formation, and binding/translocation of ATx into the cell). To evaluate ATx neutralization by anti-AVA antibodies, we developed two low-temperature LTx neutralization activity (TNA) assays that distinguish antibody blocking before and after binding of PA to target cells (noncomplexed [NC] and receptor-bound [RB] TNA assays). These assays were used to investigate anti-PA antibody responses in AVA-vaccinated rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) that survived an aerosol challenge with Bacillus anthracis Ames spores. Results showed that macaque anti-AVA sera neutralized LTx in vitro, even when PA was prebound to cells. Neutralization titers in surviving versus nonsurviving animals and between prechallenge and post-challenge activities were highly correlated. These data demonstrate that AVA stimulates a myriad of antibodies that recognize multiple neutralizing epitopes and confirm that change, loss, or occlusion of epitopes after PA is processed from PA83 to PA63 at the cell surface does not significantly affect in vitro neutralizing efficacy. Furthermore, these data support the idea that the full-length PA83 monomer is an appropriate immunogen for inclusion in next-generation anthrax vaccines.

These analytes are not specific for these conditions and lead to frequent false-positive results. More specific markers are total homocysteine (tHCY), methylmalonic acid (MMA), and methylcitric acid (MCA), but these markers are not detected by current NBS methods. To improve this situation, we developed a method for the detection of tHCY, MMA, and MCA in dried blood spots (DBSs) by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). METHODS: The analytes were extracted from a single 4.8-mm DBS punch with acetonitrile: water: formic acid (59:41:0.42) containing dithiothreitol and isotopically labeled standards (d(3)-MMA, d(3)-MCA, d(8)-homocystine). The extract was dried and treated with 3 N HCl in n-butanol to form butylesters. After evaporation of the butanol, the residue was reconstituted and centrifuged and the supernatant was subjected to LC-MS/MS analysis. Algorithms were developed to apply this method as an efficient and effective second-tier assay on samples with abnormal results by primary screening. RESULTS: The 99th percentiles determined from the analysis of 200 control DBSs for MMA, MCA, and HCY were 1.5, 0.5, and 9.8 mu mol/L, respectively. Since 2005, prospective application of this second-tier analysis to 2.3% of all NBS samples led to the identification of 13 affected infants. CONCLUSIONS: Application of this assay reduced the false-positive rate and improved the positive predictive value of NBS for conditions associated with abnormal propionylcarnitine and methionine concentrations.

Rational infection control guidance requires an improved understanding of influenza transmission. We studied households with an influenza-infected child to measure the prevalence of influenza contamination, the effect of hand washing, and associations with humidity and temperature. Methodology. We identified children with influenza and randomly assigned their households to hand washing and control arms. Six common household surfaces and the fingertips of the index patient and symptomatic family members were swabbed. Specimens were tested by real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR), and specimens with positive results were placed on cell culture. A handheld psychrometer measured meteorological data. Results. Sixteen (17.8%) of 90 households had influenza A-positive surfaces by rRT-PCR, but no viruses could be cultured. The fingertips of 15 (16.6%) of the index patients had results positive for influenza A, and 1 virus was cultured. Index patients with seasonal influenza infections shed more virus than did patients with pandemic influenza infection. Control households had a higher prevalence of surface contamination (11 [24.4%] of 45) than did hand washing households (5 [11.1%] of 45); prevalence risk difference (PRD), 13.3%; [95% confidence interval {CI}, -2.2% to 28.9%];). Households in which the age P = .09 of the index patient was <= 8 years had a significantly higher prevalence of contamination (PRD,19.1%; 95% CI, 5.3%-32.9%; P = .02). Within the strata of households with secondary infections, an effect of lower absolute humidity is suggested (P = .07). Conclusions. We documented influenza virus RNA contamination on household surfaces and on the fingertips of ill children. Homes with younger children were more likely than homes of older children to have contaminated surfaces. Lower absolute humidity favors surface contamination in households with multiple infections. Increased hand washing can reduce influenza contamination in the home.

Design: Retrospective cross-sectional survey. Setting: 2009 Web-based survey. Participants: Athletic trainers (n = 1884; participation rate, 28%) in high school and collegiate settings. Independent Variables: Athletic trainer work setting, AT demographics, history of pre-season planning meetings. Main Outcome Measures: Proportions and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) estimated the prevalence of EMS activation, planning meetings, and characteristics of AT-EMS interactions (eg, episodes of AT-perceived inappropriate care and on-field disagreements). Chi square tests tested differences (P < 0.05) in proportions. Associations (odds ratio = OR and 95% CI) between work setting, demographics, preseason meetings and fall 2008 1) episodes of AT-perceived inappropriate care, and 2) on-field disagreements were assessed using multivariate logistic regression. Results: High school ATs activated EMS more frequently than collegiate ATs (eg, fall 2008 EMS activation for football injury, 59.9% vs 27.5%; P < 0.01) and reported fewer pre-season planning meetings (eg, met with EMS to practice, 38.1% vs 55.8%; P < 0.01). During the Fall 2008 football season, high school ATs perceived more episodes of inappropriate care (10.4% vs 3.9%; P < 0.01) and on-field disagreements (5.4 vs 2.2%; P < 0.01) than collegiate ATs. High school work setting was independently associated with episodes of AT-perceived inappropriate care (adjusted OR = 2.76; 95% CI, 1.65-4.62) and on-field disagreements (adjusted OR = 2.33; 95% CI, 1.17-4.64). Conclusions: Athletic trainer-EMS interactions are common and sometimes involve AT-perceived episodes of inappropriate care and on-field disagreements between emergency care providers.

To explore the knowledge and attitudes of mothers of school-aged children toward influenza vaccination and assess what methods of communication about vaccination and its delivery work best among this audience. Methods. The authors conducted focus groups with mothers of school-aged children. Prior to the focus groups, investigators agreed on key themes and discussion points. They independently reviewed transcripts using systematic content analysis and came to an agreement on outcome themes. Results. Many study participants had misunderstandings about influenza vaccines and the definition of influenza. A common perception was that flu is a catch-all term for a variety of undefined illnesses, ranging from a severe cold to stomach upset. Few participants saw a societal benefit in vaccinating children to protect other populations (eg, the elderly). Conclusions. This study represents a first step in understanding how mothers perceive influenza vaccination and for crafting effective communication to increase vaccination among school-aged children.

CA MAGIC Investigators TI Racial/Ethnic Differences in Association of Fasting Glucose-Associated Genomic Loci With Fasting Glucose, NOMA-B, and Impaired Fasting Glucose in the US Adult Population SO DIABETES CARE LA English DT Article ID TYPE-2 DIABETES RISK; PLASMA-GLUCOSE; CARDIOVASCULAR-DISEASE; INSULIN-RESISTANCE; HOMEOSTASIS; VARIANTS; MTNR1B; MEN AB OBJECTIVE- To estimate allele frequencies and the marginal and combined effects of novel fasting glucose (FG)-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on PG levels and on risk of impaired FG (IFG) among non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, and Mexican Americans. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS- DNA samples from 3,024 adult fasting participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III (1991-1994) were genotyped for 16 novel FG-associated SNPs in multiple genes. We determined the allele frequencies and influence of these SNPs alone and in a weighted genetic risk score on FG, homeostasis model assessment of beta-cell function (HOMA-B), and IFG by race/ethnicity, while adjusting for age and sex. RESULTS- All allele frequencies varied significantly by race/ethnicity. A weighted genetic risk score, based on 16 SNPs, was associated with a 0.022 mmol/l (95% CI 0.009-0.035), 0.036 mmol/l (0.019-0.052), and 0.033 mmol/l (0.020-0.046) increase in FG levels per risk allele among non-Hispanic whites, non-Hispanic blacks, and Mexican Americans, respectively. Adjusted odds ratios for IFG were 1.78 for non-Hispanic whites (95% CI 1.00-3.17), 2.40 for non-Hispanic blacks (1.07-5.37), and 2.39 for Mexican Americans (1.37-4.14) when we compared the highest with the lowest quintiles of genetic risk score (P = 0.365 for testing heterogeneity of effect across race/ethnicity). CONCLUSIONS- We conclude that allele frequencies of 16 novel FG-associated SNPs vary significantly by race/ethnicity, but the influence of these SNPs on PG levels, HOMA-B, and IFG were generally consistent across all racial/ethnic groups.

TI Effect of Intrauterine Diabetes Exposure on the Incidence of End-Stage Renal Disease in Young Adults With Type 2 Diabetes SO DIABETES CARE LA English DT Article AB OBJECTIVE- We examined the effect of intrauterine diabetes exposure (IDE) on the incidence of diabetic end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in Pima Indians with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS- Individuals were followed from their first diabetic examination until December 2006, death, ESRD, or age of 45 years. RESULTS- Among the 1,850 diabetic participants, 102 had IDE. ESRD developed in 57, 5 of whom had IDE. Cumulative incidence of ESRD by age 45 was 19.3% in participants with IDE and 5.1% in those without; the age- and sex-adjusted incidence rate ratio was 4.12 (95% CI 1.54-11.02). After additional adjustment for age at diabetes onset, ESRD incidence was similar in the two groups (incidence rate ratio 1.38, 95% CI 0.45-4.24). CONCLUSIONS- IDE increases the age- and sex-adjusted incidence of ESRD fourfold in young adults with type 2 diabetes, mediated primarily by the earlier onset of type 2 diabetes in those with IDE.

We compared temperature measurements for 3 ITDS (FLIR Thermo Vision A20M [FLIR Systems Inc., Boston, MA, USA], OptoTherm Thermoscreen [OptoTherm Thermal Imaging Systems and Infrared Cameras Inc., Sewickley, PA, USA], and Wahl Fever Alert Imager HSI2000S [Wahl Instruments Inc., Asheville, NC, USA]) with oral temperatures (>= 100 degrees F = confirmed fever) and self-reported fever. Of 2,873 patients enrolled, 476 (16.6%) reported a fever, and 64 (2.2%) had a confirmed fever. Self-reported fever had a sensitivity of 75.0%, specificity 84.7%, and positive predictive value 10.1%. At optimal cutoff values for detecting fever, temperature measurements by OptoTherm and FLIR had greater sensitivity (91.0% and 90.0%, respectively) and specificity (86.0% and 80.0%, respectively) than did self-reports. Correlations between ITDS and oral temperatures were similar for OptoTherm (rho = 0.43) and FLIR (rho = 0.42) but significantly lower for Wahl (rho = 0.14; p<0.001). When compared with oral temperatures, 2 systems (OptoTherm and FLIR) were reasonably accurate for detecting fever and predicted fever better than self-reports.

TI Potential Influence of Climate Change on Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases: A Review and Proposed Research Plan SO ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH PERSPECTIVES LA English DT Review DE anthropogenic disturbance; climate change; infectious diseases; reservoir; vector; vector-borne disease; wildlife; zoonotic disease ID HANTAVIRUS PULMONARY SYNDROME; SOUTHWESTERN UNITED-STATES; SIN-NOMBRE-VIRUS; EAST-AFRICAN HIGHLANDS; PEROMYSCUS-MANICULATUS MODEL; NINO SOUTHERN-OSCILLATION; DEER MICE; EL-NINO; INFECTIOUS-DISEASES; SIGMODON-HISPIDUS AB BACKGROUND: Because of complex interactions of climate variables at the levels of the pathogen, vector, and host, the potential influence of climate change on vector-borne and zoonotic diseases (VBZDs) is poorly understood and difficult to predict. Climate effects on the nonvector-borne zoonotic diseases are especially obscure and have received scant treatment. OBJECTIVE: We described known and potential effects of climate change on VBZDs and proposed specific studies to increase our understanding of these effects. The nonvector-borne zoonotic diseases have received scant treatment and are emphasized in this paper. DATA SOURCES AND SYNTHESIS: We used a review of the existing literature and extrapolations from observations of short-term climate variation to suggest potential impacts of climate change on VBZDs. Using public health priorities on climate change, published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we developed six specific goals for increasing understanding of the interaction between climate and VBZDs and for improving capacity for predicting climate change effects on incidence and distribution of VBZDs. CONCLUSIONS: Climate change may affect the incidence of VBZDs through its effect on four principal characteristics of host and vector populations that relate to pathogen transmission to humans: geographic distribution, population density, prevalence of infection by zoonotic pathogens, and the pathogen load in individual hosts and vectors. These mechanisms may interact with each other and with other factors such as anthropogenic disturbance to produce varying effects on pathogen transmission within host and vector populations and to humans. Because climate change effects on most VBZDs act through wildlife hosts and vectors, understanding these effects will require multi-disciplinary teams to conduct and interpret ecosystem-based studies of VBZD pathogens in host and vector populations and to identify the hosts, vectors, and pathogens with the greatest potential to affect human populations under climate change scenarios.

TI Evaluation of Conventional and Alternative Monitoring Methods for a Recreational Marine Beach with Nonpoint Source of Fecal Contamination SO ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID ESCHERICHIA-COLI CONCENTRATIONS; SOUTHERN LAKE-MICHIGAN; 16S RIBOSOMAL-RNA; WATER-QUALITY; SOURCE IDENTIFICATION; MICROBIAL INDICATORS; BACTERIA; URBAN; BACTEROIDALES; ENTEROCOCCI AB The objectives of this work were to compare enterococci (ENT) measurements based on the membrane filter, ENT(MF) with alternatives that can provide faster results including alternative enterococci methods (e.g., chromogenic substrate (CS), and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)), and results from regression models based upon environmental parameters that can be measured in real-time. ENT(MF) were also compared to source tracking markers (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacteroidales human and dog markers, and Catellicoccus gull marker) in an effort to interpret the variability of the signal. Results showed that concentrations of enterococci based upon MF (<2 to 3320 CFU/100 mL) were significantly different from the CS and qPCR methods (p < 0.01). The correlations between MF and CS (r = 0.58, p < 0.01) were stronger than between MF and qPCR (r <= 0.36, p < 0.01). Enterococci levels by MF, CS, and qPCR methods were positively correlated with turbidity and tidal height Enterococci by MF and CS were also inversely correlated with solar radiation but enterococci by qPCR was not. The regression model based on environmental variables provided fair qualitative predictions of enterococci by ME in real-time, for daily geometric mean levels, but not for individual samples. Overall, ENT(ME) was not significantly correlated with source tracking markers with the exception of samples collected during one storm event. The inability of the regression model to predict ENT(MF) levels for individual samples is likely due to the different sources of ENT impacting the beach at any given time, making it particularly difficult to to predict short-term variability of ENT(MF) for environmental parameters.

TI New rabies virus variant found during an epizootic in white-nosed coatis from the Yucatan Peninsula SO EPIDEMIOLOGY AND INFECTION LA English DT Article DE Insectivorous bats; outbreak; rabies; white-nosed coatis AB In February 2008, three white-nosed coatis (Nasua narica) were found dead in a recreational park in Cancun, Mexico. The diagnosis of rabies virus (RABV) infection was confirmed by direct immunofluorescence test. The phylogenetic analysis performed with the complete RABV nucleoprotein gene positioned this isolate close to a sequence of a human rabies case reported during 2008 from Oaxaca, Mexico, sharing 93% similarity. In turn, these two variants are related to another variant found in rabid Tadarida brasiliensis mexicana bats across North America. Anti-RABV neutralizing activity (1.3 IU/ml) was found in the serum of one white-nosed coati captured with another five that cohabited with the dead animals. Enhanced rabies surveillance and pathogenesis studies should be conducted in coatis and insectivorous bats of the region to clarify the role of these species as potential emergent or long-term unidentified RABV reservoirs.

All subsequent cases developed illness 7-14 days after close physical contact with the index case while he was ill. Cases were more likely than controls to have been in the same room (100% vs. 9.5%, OR undefined, P<0.001) and to have touched him (83% vs. 0%, OR undefined, P<0.001). Although the source of infection for the index case was not identified, 50% of Pteropus bats sampled from near the outbreak area 1 month after the outbreak had antibodies to NiV confirming the presence of the virus in the area. The outbreak was spread by person-to-person transmission. Risk of NiV infection in family caregivers highlights the need for infection control practices to limit transmission of potentially infectious body secretions.

A questionnaire, spirometry, methacholine challenge, immune testing and air sampling for dust and soy were offered. Prevalence ratios (PRs) of respiratory problems from comparisons with the US adult population were calculated. Soy-specific immunoglobulin (Ig)G and IgE among participants and healthcare worker controls were compared. Associations between health outcomes and potential explanatory variables were examined using logistic regression. 147 (52%) out of 281 employees, including 66 (70%) out of 94 production workers, participated. PRs were significantly elevated for wheeze, sinusitis, ever-asthma and current asthma. Participants had significantly higher mean concentrations of soy-specific IgG (97.9 mg.L(-1) versus 1.5 mg.L(-1)) and prevalence of soy-specific IgE (21% versus 4%) than controls. Participants with soy-specific IgE had three-fold greater odds of current asthma or asthma-like symptoms, and sixfold greater odds of work-related asthma-like symptoms; the latter additionally was associated with production work and higher peak dust exposures. Airways obstruction was associated with higher peak dust. Work-related sinusitis, nasal allergies and rash were associated with reported workplace mould exposure. Asthma and symptoms of asthma, but not other respiratory problems, were associated with immune reactivity to soy. C1 [Cummings, K. J.; Gaughan, D. M.; Kullman, G.

TI Challenges and strategies in applying performance measurement to federal public health programs SO EVALUATION AND PROGRAM PLANNING LA English DT Article DE Performance measurement; Performance management; Program evaluation ID OUTCOMES AB Performance measurement is widely accepted in public health as an important management tool supporting program improvement and accountability. However, several challenges impede developing and implementing performance measurement systems at the federal level, including the complexity of public health problems that reflect multiple determinants and involve outcomes that may take years to achieve, the decentralized and networked nature of public health program implementation, and the lack of reliable and consistent data sources and other issues related to measurement. All three of these challenges hinder the ability to attribute program results to specific public health program efforts. The purpose of this paper is to explore these issues in detail and offer potential solutions that support the development of robust and practical performance measures to meet the needs for program improvement and accountability. Adapting performance measurement to public health programs is both an evolving science and art. Through the strategies presented here, appropriate systems can be developed and monitored to support the production of meaningful data that will inform effective decision making at multiple levels.

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and utility of linking program performance scores and expenditures into a Report of Performance Measures (RPM). We analyzed secondary data on performance indicators, selected by HD staff, and expenditures, related to six surveillance activities, from two, similar, high-incidence, tuberculosis (TB) programs in Florida from 2002 to 2003. We compared the findings between the county HDs as an illustration of basic cost-effectiveness benchmarking, based on the cost-effectiveness grid. Data included here provide examples of: (1) two instances in which one county was operating relatively inefficiently compared to the other; (2) two instances in which performance and expenditures were similar for the counties; and (3) two instances in which one county spent more for higher performance scores than the other. These data illustrate how the RPM can be used to facilitate benchmarking, a basic evaluation tool. They also demonstrate ways to identify potential operational inefficiencies in a single time period and ultimately over time. It is thus likely to be a feasible and useful management tool.

TI Methods for Monitoring Trends in the Incidence of Foodborne Diseases: Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network 1996-2008 SO FOODBORNE PATHOGENS AND DISEASE LA English DT Article ID FOODNET; STATES AB Foodborne illnesses are a substantial health burden in the United States. The Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) is the principal foodborne disease component of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Emerging Infections Program. FoodNet is a collaborative project among Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Emerging Infections Program sites, the U. S. Department of Agriculture, and the U. S. Food and Drug Administration. One of FoodNet's main objectives is to monitor changes in the incidence of selected foodborne pathogens. In 1996, FoodNet began active, population-based surveillance for laboratory-diagnosed cases of Campylobacter, Listeria, Salmonella, Shiga toxin-producing E. coli O157, Shigella, Vibrio, and Yersinia infection. Surveillance for cases of Cryptosporidium and Cyclospora infection was added in 1997 and surveillance for non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing E. coli was added in 2000. From 1997 to 2008, the FoodNet surveillance population increased, primarily through the addition of new sites. The increase in the number of FoodNet sites and the size of the population under surveillance as well as the variation in the incidence of infections among sites posed challenges in the selection of the most appropriate method to monitor changes in incidence. To account for variation introduced by changes in population size, a main-effects, log-linear Poisson (negative binomial) regression model was adopted to estimate the magnitude of changes in the incidence of pathogens by comparing current year incidence to reference periods. The article explains how FoodNet uses the negative binomial model to examine changes in incidence over time, describes the reference periods used, explains the graphics used to display results, and discusses future directions in the analysis of trends over time.

TI Prevalence of Colorectal Cancer Surveillance for Ulcerative Colitis in an Integrated Health Care Delivery System SO GASTROENTEROLOGY LA English DT Article DE Colonoscopy; Colorectal Cancer; Epidemiology; Surveillance; Guidelines ID INFLAMMATORY-BOWEL-DISEASE; PRACTICE PARAMETERS COMMITTEE; NORTHERN CALIFORNIA; OF-GASTROENTEROLOGY; PRACTICE GUIDELINES; AMERICAN-COLLEGE; DYSPLASIA; UPDATE; CONSENSUS AB BACKGROUND & AIMS: The absence of grade A supporting evidence for surveillance colonoscopy in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) has led to controversy regarding its benefit, yet it is routinely recommended in practice guidelines. Limited data are available on rates of colonoscopy surveillance and factors associated with surveillance. METHODS: A retrospective study of UC patients receiving care between 2006 and 2007 with >= 8 years history of UC was conducted. Primary outcome was the proportion of patients who underwent surveillance during this 2-year study period. Sociodemographic and disease factors were identified a priori from variables recorded electronically in the medical record; multivariable associations with surveillance were estimated using logistic regression. RESULTS: Of 771 patients with >= 8 years history of UC, 24.6% of patients underwent at least 1 surveillance colonoscopy within the 2-year study period, with a maximum of 38.5% observed among patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis. In a multivariable analysis, gender, age, race, and education were not associated with surveillance. Factors associated with increasing surveillance included lack of significant comorbidity (Charlson-Deyo index 0 vs 1 + : odds ratio [OR], 1.7; 95% confidence interval: 1.1-2.5), >3 inflammatory bowel disease-related outpatient visits (OR, 2.0; 95% CI: 1.4-3.0), and use of mesalamine (OR, 2.8; 95% CI: 1.7-4.4). CONCLUSIONS: Utilization of surveillance colonoscopy in a 2-year period was low, even among high-risk patients. Although specific factors recorded in computerized data were identified to be associated with surveillance, a greater understanding of how patients and physicians decide on surveillance is needed.

TI Evidence-based classification of recommendations on use of genomic tests in clinical practice: Dealing with insufficient evidence SO GENETICS IN MEDICINE LA English DT Editorial Material DE evidence-based medicine; genomic medicine; public health ID EGAPP-WORKING-GROUP; SERVICES-TASK-FORCE; BREAST-CANCER; HEALTH-CARE; PREVENTION; STATEMENT; MORBIDITY; MORTALITY; MEDICINE AB Numerous genomic tests continue to emerge as potential tools in the diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and prevention for a wide variety of common human diseases. To date, most of these tests have "insufficient evidence" of clinical validity and utility for their use in clinical practice. Explicit and quantitative tools can be used in the evaluation of direct and indirect evidence on the utility of genomic tests. As suggested in an article in this month's issue by Veenstra et al., a recommendation matrix can be developed based on the amount of certainty of the evidence and the assessment of the risk-benefit profile. To supplement the current binary (up or down) evidence-based recommendation for use, it is worthwhile to explore all available data to develop a three-tier evidence-based recommendation classification of genomic tests ("use in practice," "promote informed decision-making," and "discourage use"). Promoting informed decision making may be a valuable recommendation for tests for which there is sufficient information on analytic and clinical validity and for which the risk/benefit analysis on clinical utility is promising but not definitive. This approach could provide interim guidance for clinical practice, while rigorous outcomes research is conducted to assess the impact of such tests on patients, families, and population health outcomes.

Methods The Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor Response Study was a prospective cohort study carried out in Zambia, Thailand and Kenya. Between May 2005 and January 2007, we enrolled antiretroviral-naive HIV-infected women initiating nevirapine-based ART. At enrolment and at weeks 2, 4, 8, 16 and 24, participants had serum alanine transferase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) measured and were evaluated clinically for hepatitis and rash. Results Nevirapine-based ART was initiated in 820 women and baseline ALT or AST results were abnormal (>= grade 1) in 113 (14%) women. After initiating nevirapine-based ART, severe hepatotoxicity occurred in 41 (5%) women and rash-associated hepatotoxicity occurred in 27 (3%) women. In a multivariate logistic regression model, severe hepatotoxicity and rash-associated hepatotoxicity were both associated with baseline abnormal (>= grade 1) ALT or AST results, but not with a baseline CD4 cell count >= 250 cells/mu L. Three participants (0.4%) died with symptoms suggestive of fatal hepatotoxicity; all three women had baseline CD4 count < 100 cells/mu L and were receiving anti-tuberculosis therapy. Conclusion Among women taking nevirapine-based ART, severe hepatotoxicity and rash-associated hepatotoxicity were predicted by abnormal baseline ALT or AST results, but not by a CD4 count >= 250 cells/mu L. In resource-limited settings where transaminase testing is available, testing should focus on early time-points and on women with abnormal baseline ALT or AST results. C1 [Peters, P. J.; Borkowf, C.

TI Correlation of the detection of Clostridium difficile toxins in stools and presence of the clostridia in tissues of children SO HUMAN PATHOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Clostridium difficile; Children; Immunohistochemistry; Stool toxins; PCR ID NECROTIZING ENTEROCOLITIS; PSEUDOMEMBRANOUS COLITIS; HIRSCHSPRUNGS-DISEASE; COLONIZATION; ASSAY; DIARRHEA; CYTOTOXICITY; INFECTION; SPECIMENS; DIAGNOSIS AB Clostridium difficile toxin is frequently found in the stool of children; however, pseudomembranous colitis is rare. Studying the usefulness of Clostridium difficile toxin assays in pediatrics is required. We performed a correlation between presence of Clostridium difficile toxin in stool and evidence of Clostridium difficile in gastrointestinal pediatric tissue samples using immunohistochemistry (with a pan-clostridial antibody) and polymerase chain reaction (with primers for toxin genes). We studied 11 patients with a median age of 8 years (range, 4 weeks to 17 years); 4(36%) were female. The median time between detection of Clostridium difficile toxin in stool and obtaining tissue was 3 days. Ten patients survived. Endoscopy was performed in 8 survivors and showed normal mucosa in 2, pseudomembranes in 2, erythema and friability in 1, aphthae in 1, increased mucous production in 1, and colitis in 1.. Two survivors underwent laparotomy for either obstruction or resection of necrotic bowel. Histopathologic studies in these 10 surviving patients showed necrosis in 2 samples, granulomatous inflammation in 1, moderate colitis in 1, and mild to minimal pathology in 7. There was no antigenic or molecular evidence of clostridia in the tissue of these patients. Histopathologic evidence of pseudomembranes and immunohistochemical evidence of clostridia were present in postmortem intestinal tissues of the only patient that died. Our findings indicate that Clostridium difficile toxin in stool does not correlate with the presence of clostridia and may not contribute to pathology in intestinal tissues of children. Clostridial antigens were only observed with histopathologic evidence of pseudomembranes. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier Inc.

TI Transmission of influenza A viruses between pigs and people, Iowa, 2002-2004 SO INFLUENZA AND OTHER RESPIRATORY VIRUSES LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT International Symposium on Neglected Influenza Viruses CY FEB 03-05, 2010 CL Amelia Island, FL DE Animal-human interface; human; influenza; swine ID SWINE INFLUENZA; UNITED-STATES; GENETIC-CHARACTERIZATION; NORTH-AMERICA; HUMANS; SPECIFICITY; INFECTIONS; WORKERS; ORIGIN; H1 AB Background Triple-reassortant (tr) viruses of human, avian, and swine origin, including H1N1, H1N2, and H3N2 subtypes, emerged in North American swine herds in 1998 and have become predominant. While sporadic human infections with classical influenza A (H1N1) and with tr-swine influenza viruses have been reported, relatively few have been documented in occupationally exposed swine workers (SW). Methods We conducted a 2-year (2002-2004) prospective cohort study of transmission of influenza viruses between pigs and SW from a single pork production company in Iowa. Respiratory samples were collected and tested for influenza viruses from SW and from pigs under their care through surveillance for influenza-like illnesses (ILI). Serial blood samples from study participants were tested by hemagglutination inhibition ( HI) for antibody seroconversion against human and swine influenza viruses (SIV), and antibody seroprevalence was compared to age-matched urban Iowa blood donors. Results During the first year, 15 of 88 SW had ILI and were sampled; all were culture-negative for influenza. During the second year, 11 of 76 SW had ILI and were sampled; one was culture-positive for a human seasonal H3N2 virus. Among 20 swine herd ILI outbreaks sampled, influenza A virus was detected by rRT-PCR from 17 with 11 trH1N1 and five trH3N2 virus isolates cultured. During both years, HI geometric mean titers were significantly higher among SW compared to blood donor controls for three SIV: classical swine Sw/WI/238/97 ( H1N1), tr Sw/IN/9K035/99 (H1N2), and trSw/IA/H02NJ56371/02 (H1N1)] (P < 0 0001). Conclusions SW had serologic evidence for infection with both swine and human influenza viruses and were exposed to diverse influenza virus strains circulating in pigs. Influenza virus surveillance among pigs and SW should be encouraged to better understand cross-species transmission and diversity of influenza viruses at the human-swine interface.

TI MChip, a low density microarray, differentiates among seasonal human H1N1, North American swine H1N1, and the 2009 pandemic H1N1 SO INFLUENZA AND OTHER RESPIRATORY VIRUSES LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT International Symposium on Neglected Influenza Viruses CY FEB 03-05, 2010 CL Amelia Island, FL DE Influenza A Virus; H1N1 Subtype ID INFLUENZA-A VIRUSES; DIAGNOSTIC MICROARRAY; PCR; AMPLIFICATION; SURVEILLANCE; GENE AB Background The MChip uses data from the hybridization of amplified viral RNA to 15 distinct oligonucleotides that target the influenza A matrix ( M) gene segment. An artificial neural network (ANN) automates the interpretation of subtle differences in fluorescence intensity patterns from the microarray. The complete process from clinical specimen to identification including amplification of viral RNA can be completed in <8 hours for under US$10. Objectives The work presented here represents an effort to expand and test the capabilities of the MChip to differentiate influenza A/H1N1 of various species origin. Methods The MChip ANN was trained to recognize fluorescence image patterns of a variety of known influenza A viruses, including examples of human H1N1, human H3N2, swine H1N1, 2009 pandemic influenza A H1N1, and a wide variety of avian, equine, canine, and swine influenza viruses. Robustness of the MChip ANN was evaluated using 296 blinded isolates. Results Training of the ANN was expanded by the addition of 71 well-characterized influenza A isolates and yielded relatively high accuracy (little misclassification) in distinguishing unique H1N1 strains: nine human A/H1N1 (88.9% correct), 35 human A/H3N2 (97.1% correct), 31 North American swine A/H1N1 (80.6% correct), 14 2009 pandemic A/H1N1 (87.7% correct), and 23 negative samples (91.3% correct). Genetic diversity among the swine H1N1 isolates may have contributed to the lower success rate for these viruses. Conclusions The current study demonstrates the MChip has the capability to differentiate the genetic variations among influenza viruses with appropriate ANN training. Further selective enrichment of the ANN will improve its ability to rapidly and reliably characterize influenza viruses of unknown origin.

TI Nanoparticles-containing spray can aerosol: characterization, exposure assessment, and generator design SO INHALATION TOXICOLOGY LA English DT Article ID SIZE; LUNG AB This is the first report demonstrating that a commercially available household consumer product produces nanoparticles in a respirable range. This report describes a method developed to characterize nanoparticles that were produced under typical exposure conditions when using a consumer spray product. A well-controlled indoor environment was simulated for conducting spray applications approximating a human exposure scenario. Results indicated that, while aerosol droplets were large with a count median diameter of 22 mu m during spraying, the final aerosol contained primarily solid TiO2 particles with a diameter of 75 nm. This size reduction was due to the surface deposition of the droplets and the rapid evaporation of the aerosol propellant. In the breathing zone, the aerosol, containing primarily individual particles (> 90%), had a mass concentration of 3.4 mg/m
