The report consists of four components:
- Top Ten Articles of the Week
- CDC-authored publications
- Key scientific articles in featured topic areas (this week featuring Chronic Diseases and Conditions - Obesity)
- Public health articles noted in the media
The discovery of a new bacterial species headlines this week's featured articles. I Ezeoke and colleagues describe Nocardia amikacinitolerans sp. nov., a human pathogen resistant to the antibiotic amikacin. Progress on measures to combat emerging infections is showcased in the report by V Barban and collaborators, who report in Virology on the successful elicitation of neutralizing antibodies against a broad range of circulating dengue viruses using a tetravalent dengue vaccine.
Screening and treatment remain core strategies for addressing both established and emerging infectious diseases. A group led by JM Eugene analyzed results of ambulatory medical care surveys and found that testing rates for chlamydia, though higher in community health centers compared to other settings, are not meeting established standards. Using data from a South African HIV treatment center, DA Lewis and others found high prevalence of urethritis/cervicitis pathogens and concluded that screening using affordable diagnostics is needed in this high-risk population. Writing in Hepatology, lead author MM Denniston uses data from NHANES to show that less than half of those infected with hepatitis C virus may be aware of their infection.
A separate NHANES study led by MD Huffman projects current cardiovascular health risk factors forward to 2020 and finds that, although population level "heart health" may increase by 6 percent, American Heart Association targets will not be met if trends continue. Also attempting to look ahead, in an article first authored by D Shenson strategies for reducing racial and ethnic disparities in the provision of recommended preventive screenings and vaccinations are explored.
Implementation of public health prevention strategies often relies on supportive policy and funding. In the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, EK Adams and colleagues document that a $1 increase in cigarette taxes and prices increases prenatal smoking cessation rates by up to 5%, as do comprehensive worksite smoking bans. An examination of the annual CDC HIV testing and prevention budget is the subject of an article by A Lasry published in PLoS One; she and her co-authors conclude that funds should preferentially be allocated to targeted testing, counseling of HIV-positive persons, and interventions for those at high risk.
In a study co-authored by the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, HL Falgreen Eriksen et al find no serious effects on IQ in five-year-old children whose mothers drank low to moderate amounts of alcohol in pregnancy. Two related articles with similar findings are listed in Clips this week. Because no safe level of alcohol during pregnancy has been established and alcohol is known to cause birth defects and developmental disabilities, the authors continue to advise that women should refrain from drinking alcohol during pregnancy.
