Age and Hair Cortisol Levels as Predictors of Sars-CoV-2 Infection
Chronic psychosocial stress is known to adversely impact immune function. During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, occupational stress among workers in healthcare was at an unprecedented level due to risks of infection and work demands. We performed a nested case-control study to investigate the associations between chronic stress and the risks of contracting SARS-CoV-2. We collected 3 cm of hair from employees at an academic medical center who tested pos…

Community- Versus Health Care Organization–Based Approaches to Expanding At-Home Covid-19 Testing in Black and Latino Communities, New Jersey, 2021
At-home COVID-19 testing offers convenience and safety advantages. We evaluated at-home testing in Black and Latino communities through an intervention comparing community-based organization (CBO) and health care organization (HCO) outreach. From May through December 2021, 1100 participants were recruited, 94% through CBOs. The odds of COVID-19 test requests and completions were significantly higher in the HCO arm. The results showed disparities …

The Human Microbiota as a Marker for Migrations of Individuals and Populations
In this review, we discuss evidence that the microbes that constitute the human microbiota coevolved with humans and maintain complex community and host interactions. Because these microbes are mostly vertically transmitted, they have evolved within each human group and provide a view of human ancestry. In particular, we discuss using Helicobacter pylori as a marker of ancestry and migrations. Other organisms with more mixed vertical and horizont…
Campylobacter enteritis associated with undercooked barbecued chicken
An outbreak of Campylobacter enteritis occurred in 1982 among 11 of 15 members and friends of an extended family gathering in Colorado. Median onset for illness, characterized by diarrhea, abdominal cramps, fever and headache, was four days after the party. Illness was associated with eating undercooked chicken. Two ill persons had stool specimens positive for C. jejuni. Eight of ten ill persons tested had Immunoglobulin-M-specific indirect fluor…
An outbreak of waterborne giardiasis associated with heavy water runoff due to warm weather and volcanic ashfall
From mid-June through early August 1980, an outbreak of gastrointestinal illness in Red Lodge, Montana affected approximately 780 persons, as estimated from attack rates of 33 per cent and 15 per cent in urban and rural residents, respectively. Giardia lamblia was identified in stool specimens from 51 per cent of 47 persons with a history of untreated gastrointestinal illness and in 13 per cent of 24 specimens from asymptomatic persons (p = .0004…
