High incarceration rates fuel COVID-19 spread and undermine US public safety, study finds
September 2, 2021By
U.S. jails function as ‘infectious disease incubators’ for surrounding communities, as high rates of viral transmission cause COVID-19 cases to multiply and ‘boomerang’ back to communities. A new national study shows that reducing jail populations, mask mandates, school closures and nursing home restrictions are the most important government policies for reducing COVID-19 spread.

Vast under-treatment of diabetes seen in global study
May 24, 2021By
Nearly half a billion people have diabetes, but most aren’t getting the kind of care that could make their lives healthier, longer and more productive, according to a new global study of data from people with the condition. Many don’t even know they have the condition. Only 1 in 10 people with diabetes in the 55 low- and middle-income countries studied receive the type of comprehensive care that’s been proven to reduce diabetes-related problems.

Study Identifies Concerning Delays in TB Diagnoses in the United States
March 23, 2021By
Most delays ranged between 10 and 45 days, with a median of 24 days, after a visit to a doctor, which exceeds current World Health Organization recommendations of diagnosing and treating TB within two to three weeks of symptom onset Delays were linked to greater risk for disease complications, transmission of infection to household members Older individuals and those with compromised immunity were at greater risk for delayed diagnoses Use of diagnostic molecular testing, use of chest imaging and being seen by a specialist were all linked to more prompt identification of TB infection, suggesting delays may be preventable Findings underscore the need to increase awareness of TB among frontline clinicians who may not suspect TB due to rarity of infection in this country
