Community-acquired Staphylococcus aureus skin and soft tissue infection risk assessment using hotspot analysis and risk maps: The case of California emergency departments
Our results highlight a potential change in the epidemiology of CA-Sa SSTIs in California emergency departments. Future studies should investigate the CA-Sa burden in other geographies to identify whether this shift in epidemiology holds across other states and populations. Further, a more thorough evaluation of potential mechanisms for the clustering of infections seen across California neighborhoods is needed
A Bayesian multilevel analysis exploring population-level effects mediating the relationship between area-level poverty and community-acquired Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) inf…
Poverty is an often-cited driver of health disparities, and associations between poverty and community-acquired Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) infection are well documented. However, the pathways through which poverty influences infection have not been thoroughly examined. This project aims to identify mediating variables, or mechanisms, explaining why area-level poverty is associated with CA-MRSA infection in Californians.…

Cancer health disparities in racial/ethnic minorities in the United States
There are well-established disparities in cancer incidence and outcomes by race/ethnicity that result from the interplay between structural, socioeconomic, socio-environmental, behavioural and biological factors. However, large research studies designed to investigate factors contributing to cancer aetiology and progression have mainly focused on populations of European origin. The limitations in clinicopathological and genetic data, as well as t…
African ancestry of the population of Buenos Aires
The population of Argentina today does not have a “visible” black African component. However, censuses conducted during most of the 19th century registered up to 30% of individuals of African origin living in Buenos Aires city. What has happened to this African influence? Have all individuals of African origin died, as lay people believe? Or is it possible that admixture with the European immigrants made the African influence “invisible?” We inve…
