Pre- and postnatal polychlorinated biphenyl exposure and cognitive and behavioral development at age 45 Months in a cohort of Slovak children

Regina M. Simeone, Penelope P. Howards, Elizabeth Anderson, Todd A. Jusko, Beata Drobna, Anton Kocan, Kamil Conka, Anna Fabisikova, Lubica Palkovicova Murinova, Richard L. Canfield, Dean Sonneborn, Sona Wimmerova, Kelly Thevenet-Morrison, Tomas Trnovec, Irva Hertz-Picciotto, Eva Sovcikova

Summary: The study on 472 mother-child pairs in eastern Slovakia found that pre-and postnatal levels of PCB-153 and PCB-118 were not associated with cognitive performance on the WPPSI-III. However, higher postnatal PCB concentrations were possibly linked to more sleep problems, feelings of depression, and anxiousness.

Illness severity indicators in newborns by COVID-19 status in the United States, March-December 2020

Bailey Wallace, Daniel Chang, Kate Woodworth, Carla L. DeSisto, Regina Simeone, Jean Y. Ko, Van T. Tong, Suzanne M. Gilboa, Sascha R. Ellington

Summary: The study compared in-hospital illness severity indicators by COVID-19 status in newborns born between March and December 2020. It found low incidence of COVID-19 diagnosis in newborns during that period, with differences in illness severity among different racial/ethnic groups and gestational ages. Clinical data are needed to further understand risk profiles of newborns with COVID-19.

Participation in survey research among mothers with a recent live birth: A comparison of mothers with living versus deceased infants - Findings from the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System, 2016-2019

Katherine Kortsmit, Holly Shulman, Ruben A. Smith, Carrie K. Shapiro-Mendoza, Sharyn E. Parks, Suzanne Folger, Maura Whiteman, Leslie Harrison, Shanna Cox, Lauren Christiansen-Lindquist, Wanda D. Barfield, Lee Warner

Summary: This study aimed to assess differences in survey participation rates between mothers of deceased infants and mothers of living infants. The study found that, although the differences in participation rates were reduced after adjusting for covariates, mothers of deceased infants still had lower participation rates compared to mothers of living infants.

Pregnant individuals with moderate-to-severe COVID-19 did not show an increased risk of preterm birth in any trimester.

Mapping HIV prevalence in Nigeria using small area estimates to develop a targeted HIV intervention strategy

Caitlin O'Brien-Carelli, Krista Steuben, Kristen A. Stafford, Rukevwe Aliogo, Matthias Alagi, Casey K. Johanns, Jahun Ibrahim, Ray Shiraishi, Akipu Ehoche, Stacie Greby, Emilio Dirlikov, Dalhatu Ibrahim, Megan Bronson, Gambo Aliyu, Sani Aliyu, Laura Dwyer-Lindgren, Mahesh Swaminathan, Herbert C. Duber, Man Charurat

Summary: Geospatial analysis across the HIV continuum of care in Nigeria helps identify sub-state variations and allows for targeted interventions to achieve epidemic control. Local estimates generated through this analysis provide governments, donors, and implementing partners with valuable information to prioritize resource distribution and carry out effective interventions.

Condom use among women of reproductive age (18-49 years) in Puerto Rico during the 2016 Zika virus outbreak: secondary analysis of data from a cross-sectional, population-based, cell-phone survey

Karen T. Chang, Margaret Christine Snead, Ruby A. Serrano Rodriguez, Connie Bish, Carrie K. Shapiro-Mendoza, Sascha R. Ellington

Summary: During the 2016 ZIKV outbreak in Puerto Rico, one in three women at risk for unintended pregnancy reported using condoms in the last three months. Counselling to promote consistent and correct condom use may help address concerns about ZIKV among women of reproductive age, with differences depending on the use of effective contraception.

Arbovirus risk perception as a predictor of mosquito-bite preventive behaviors in Ponce, Puerto Rico

Josee M. Dussault, Gabriela Paz-Bailey, Liliana Sanchaez-Gonzalez, Laura E. Adams, Dania M. Rodriguez, Kyle R. Ryff, Chelsea G. Majori, Olga Lorenzi, Vanessa Rivera-Amill

Summary: Mosquito-borne arboviruses pose a significant threat in the Caribbean, particularly in Puerto Rico. In order to prevent these diseases, various strategies for mosquito control have been implemented, often requiring community involvement. This study examined the impact of risk perception on household expenditure and engagement in preventive behaviors in Ponce, Puerto Rico. The results showed that households perceiving high risk of arboviral infections tended to spend more money on mosquito bite prevention and engage in more preventive behaviors. These findings support the importance of community-based approaches and access to reliable risk information.

Risk factors for infection with chikungunya and Zika viruses in southern Puerto Rico: A community-based cross-sectional seroprevalence survey

Summary: The study conducted in southern Puerto Rico from 2018 to 2019 found a lower prevalence of CHIKV infection related to the presence of home screens and air conditioning. The prevalence of ZIKV infection increased with age, with males having a higher risk of infection than females. The presence of screens and air conditioning at home could reduce the risk of infection from both viruses.

Summary: We conducted a study to examine the association between unsafe infant sleep practices and sudden infant deaths. The results showed that there is a significant link between unsafe sleep practices and both sleep-related suffocation and unexplained infant deaths.

Summary: The study found that exposure to natural disasters during and after pregnancy may increase adverse mental health outcomes. The hurricanes Irma and Maria in September 2017 had a negative impact on the experiences of pregnant women, leading to an increased prevalence of postpartum depressive symptoms.

Neighborhood Deprivation and Privilege: an Examination of Racialized-Economic Segregation and Preterm Birth, Florida 2019

Ghasi S. Phillips-Bell, Yousra A. Mohamoud, Russell S. Kirby, Sharyn E. Parks, Yvette C. Cozier, Carrie K. Shapiro-Mendoza

Summary: The racial disparity in preterm birth cannot be fully explained by individual-level factors, and there is a growing focus on understanding the role of structural and area-level factors. This study examined the associations between preterm birth and the index of concentration at the extremes (ICE) which represents extremes of deprivation and privilege. The results indicate a significant association between deprivation captured by ICE and increased odds of preterm birth.

Summary: Dengue vaccine intention in Puerto Rico increased after the availability of COVID-19 vaccines, likely due to increased awareness of vaccine importance. However, concerns over side effects and vaccine skepticism remain barriers to vaccine acceptance.

Summary: Uganda significantly increased TB preventive therapy coverage among people living with HIV from 0.6% to 88.8% during the period of October 2016 to March 2022. TB notification rates among people living with HIV also increased from 881.1 to 972.5 per 100,000. Timely TB screening, diagnosis, and early treatment should be prioritized for TB/HIV prevention programming.

Akpan, Jahun Ibrahim, Gambo Aliyu, Sulaiman Akanmu, Mary A. Boyd, Mahesh Swaminathan, Tedd Ellerbrock, Kristen A. Stafford, Emilio Dirlikov

Summary: This study analyzed the prevalence and outcomes of low-level viremia in a cohort of people living with HIV on antiretroviral therapy in Nigeria. The results showed that patients with low-level viremia had an increased risk of virological non-suppression and failure. The monitoring benchmarks and targets should be revised to strengthen clinical outcomes and track progress to epidemic control.
