Abstract:

AbstractIt is clear from disaster evaluations that communities must be prepared to act independently before government agencies can cope with the early ramifications of disasters. In response to devastation to the borough of Staten Island, New York in the wake of 11 September 2001, the Richmond County Medical Society established a structure to incorporate community needs and institutions to work together for the common good. A program that brings together two hospital systems, nursing homes, emergency medical services, and the Office of Emergency Management physician leadership in a meaningful way now is in place. This approach has improved the disaster preparedness of Staten Island and demonstrated how the Medical Society can provide leadership in disaster preparedness and serve as a conduit for communication amongst entities that normally do not communicate.

Abstract:

Objective.Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is an important extraintestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We assessed the cumulative incidence and clinical spectrum of SpA in a population-based cohort of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC).Methods.The medical records of a population-based cohort of residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota, USA, diagnosed with UC from 1970 through 2004 were reviewed. Patients were followed longitudinally until moving from Olmsted County, death, or June 30, 2011. We used the European Spondylarthropathy Study Group, Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society (ASAS) criteria, and modified New York criteria to identify patients with SpA.Results.The cohort included 365 patients with UC, of whom 41.9% were women. The median age at diagnosis of UC was 38.6 years (range 1.2–91.4). Forty patients developed SpA based on the ASAS criteria. The cumulative incidence of a diagnosis of SpA after an established diagnosis of UC was 4.8% at 10 years (95% CI 95% CI 2.2%–7.3%), 13.7% at 20 years (95% CI 9.0%–18.1%), and 22.1% at 30 years (95% CI 4.3%–29.1%).Conclusion.The cumulative incidence of all forms of SpA increased to about 22% by 30 years from UC diagnosis. This value is slightly greater than what we previously described in a population-based cohort of Crohn disease diagnosed in Olmsted County over the same time period. SpA and its features are associated with UC, and heightened awareness on the part of clinicians is needed for diagnosing and managing them.

Abstract:

Objective.Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is an extraintestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease with significant clinical effects, although the frequency is uncertain. We assessed the cumulative incidence and clinical spectrum of SpA in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) in a population-based cohort.Methods.The medical records of a population-based cohort of Olmsted County, Minnesota, residents diagnosed with CD between 1970 and 2004 were reviewed. Patients were followed longitudinally until migration, death, or December 31, 2010. We used the European Spondylarthropathy Study Group, Assessment of Spondyloarthritis international Society (ASAS) criteria and modified New York criteria to identify patients with SpA. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the cumulative incidence of SpA following diagnosis of CD.Results.The cohort included 311 patients with CD (49.8% females; median age 29.9 yrs, range 8–89). Thirty-two patients developed SpA based on ASAS criteria. The cumulative incidence of SpA after CD diagnosis was 6.7% (95% CI 2.5%–6.7%) at 10 years, 13.9% (95% CI 8.7%–18.8%) at 20 years, and 18.6% (95% CI 11.0%–25.5%) at 30 years. The 10-year cumulative incidence of ankylosing spondylitis was 0, while both the 20-year and 30-year cumulative incidences were 0.5% (95% CI 0–1.6%).Conclusion.We have for the first time defined the actual cumulative incidence of SpA in CD using complete medical record information in a population-based cohort. The cumulative incidence of all forms of SpA increased to approximately 19% by 30 years from diagnosis of CD. Our results emphasize the importance of maintaining a high level of suspicion for SpA when following patients with CD.

Abstract:

I will present a process by which many of the prehospital providers in this country are trying to organize effective and efficient response plans for major medical incidents which could in fact include a disaster response.Many people in the emergency medical services community, including myself, have been involved in a planning process for voluntary national EMS standards, the program being coordinated by the American Society of Testing & Materials (ASTM) F30 Emergency Medical Services Standards Committee. I chair a subtask group on Disaster Management. The committee has prepared a document containing elements, suggestions, processes and procedures from MCI/disaster response plans from EMS agencies around the country. These places include the cities of Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C. area, Phoenix, Arizona and other urban places. The intent of this task group is not to prepare a document as a rigid standard to cover every detail on an individual task response plan. Instead, the intent of our task group is to provide an overview of expectations of what an individual mass casualty plan should include; focusing on such topical areas as Incident Command Management, communications, triage, transportation, logistical support issues, mutual aid and ancillary support services and many other topical areas that agency planners must address in developing their respective operational response plans.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Infection with Helicobacter pylori has been implicated as an etiologic agent for the development of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). In a systematic review of the medical literature Stasi and colleagues reported wide regional variation in the prevalence of H. pylori infection in ITP patients with significant differences in improvement in platelet count with infection eradication. The largest report on H.pylori infection in ITP patients diagnosed in the United States found a lower prevalence of infection (21.6%) than the reported seroprevalence (32.5%) for the general United States population.1 Only 1 of 15 treated patients responded eradication of their infection.1 Based upon this report the American Society of Hematology ITP guidelines do not recommend routine H. pylori testing during the evaluation of newly diagnosed patients. Los Angeles County-University of Southern California Medical Center is the largest healthcare provider in the metropolitan Los Angeles region. It services a large and ethically diverse patient population. Screening for H.pylori infection in newly diagnosed and previously diagnosed ITP patients was begun as a routine part of the diagnostic algorithm in 2008. We initiated a retrospective review of H.pylori infection in patients screened during this period. Results At the time of this report the medical records of 80 ITP patients (M/F: 22/58) have been reviewed. 68 (F/M: 52/16) patients, 51 with 1o ITP and 17 with 2ry ITP, were screened for H.pylori. The median age of the screened patients was 50 yrs (23 to 85 yrs). Patients were screened with either the H. pylori stool antigen (46 pts; 65%) or H. pylori Breath test (10 pts; 16%). 12 patients (19%) were only screened for H.pylori antibodies. Of the screened patients, 29/68 (42.6%) tested positive for H. pylori. However, there were significant ethnic and racial differences in the prevalence of infection (Table ). 27 of the 29 positive patients were treated for their infection. H. Pylori eradication was documented in 20 of 22 (91%). An additional patient was successfully treated with a second course of antibiotics. Response to therapy could not be assessed in 14 of the 27 treated patients due to treatment with concomitant ITP medications. Of the 13 patients who could be evaluated for response using IWG criteria, there were 4 (30.8%) complete responses, 1 (7.7%) partial response and no response in 8 (61.5%). All complete responders were treated within 2 months of initial presentation. At the time of this report only 3 of the 29 patients remain on ITP treatment. Conclusion There are significant ethnic and racial differences in the prevalence of H. pylori infection in ITP patients diagnosed in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan region. Despite earlier reports from New York and Miami, early identification and treatment of H. pylori infected may result in remissions up to a third of patients. 1. Michel M et al.

Abstract:

The Children’s Aid Society (CAS), founded in 1853, is one of the largest and oldest child and family social-welfare agencies in the country. It serves 150,000 children and families through a continuum of services—adoption and foster care; medical, mental health, and dental services; summer and winter camps; respite care for the disabled; group work and recreation in community centers and schools; homemaker services; counseling; and court mediation and conciliation programs. The agency’s budget in 2003 was approximately $75 million, financed almost equally from public and private funds. In 1992, after several years of planning and negotiation, CAS opened its first community school in the Washington Heights neighborhood of New York City. If you visit Intermediate School (IS) 218 or one of the many other community schools in New York City and around the country, it may seem very contemporary, like a “school of the future.” Indeed, we at CAS feel that these schools are one of our most important efforts in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Yet community schools trace their roots back nearly 150 years, as previous generations tried to find ways to respond to children’s and families’ needs. CAS’s own commitment to public education is not new. When the organization was founded in the mid-nineteenth century by Charles Loring Brace, he sought not only to find shelter for homeless street children but to teach practical skills such as cobbling and hand-sewing while also creating free reading rooms for the enlightenment of young minds. Brace was actively involved in the campaign to abolish child labor, and he helped establish the nation’s first compulsory education laws. He and his successors ultimately created New York City’s first vocational schools, the first free kindergartens, and the first medical and dental clinics in public schools (the former to battle the perils of consumption, now known as tuberculosis). Yet this historic commitment to education went only so far. Up until the late 1980s, CAS’s role in the city’s public schools was primarily that of a contracted provider of health, mental health, and dental services.

Abstract:

Despite the gathering momentum for a single standard of medical education, the portals of access to medicine remained remarkably open at the middle of the nineteenth century. From this time forward, governments and professional associations—in the name of science and clinical knowledge and the protection of the public’s health—steadily limited further entrance to medicine to those with extensive preparatory education and the capacity to bear the financial and other burdens of ever longer periods of study. But in 1850, alternative (and cheaper) paths to medicine, such as training in a practical school or learning medicine with a preceptor, were still available in the transatlantic nations. Not only were the écoles secondaires (or écoles préparatoires) and the medical-surgical academies still widely open to those on the European continent without a university-preparatory education, but British and American training schools for general practitioners, offering schooling well below the university level, were also widely available to students and growing at a rapid pace. “The establishment of provincial medical schools,” for those of modest means, declared Joseph Jordan of Manchester in 1854, was an event “of national importance. . . . Indeed there has not been so great a movement [in Britain] since the College of Surgeons was established.” A decade before, probably unknown to Jordan, a New York professor, Martyn Paine, had voiced similar views about America’s rural colleges when he told students that “no institutions [are] more important than the country medical schools, since these are adapted to the means of a large class of students . . . [of] humble attainments.” In both Britain and America, according to Paine’s New York contemporary John Revere, the bulk of practitioners “are generally taken from the humbler conditions in society, and have few opportunities of intellectual improvement.” The social differences between those who followed the university and the practical routes to medicine were nearly as sharp as they had been a halfcentury before. Even when a medical degree was awarded after what was essentially a nonuniversity education, as it was in the United States, Paine distinguished between graduates of country schools, “where lectures and board are low,” and “the aristocrats of our profession, made so through the difference of a few dollars.”

Abstract:

This chapter details how New York outpaced all other states in both the number of societies and overall membership in terms of temperance societies that sprang up throughout the United States in the first half of the nineteenth century. It talks about 3,000 temperance societies in the United States by 1831, wherein New York was home to 727 of them. The chapter focuses on the second annual report by the Cayuga County Temperance Society in 1833. It considers the second annual report as a celebration of the proliferation of temperance societies and the steady rise of membership in the county. It also explores how the annual report lamented the limited influence of their moral suasion campaign within Cayuga County, despite the growth of the temperance movement.

Abstract:

Abstract Metropolitan Rochester, New York, is located at about the midpoint of the southern shore of Lake Ontario, 550 km northwest of New York City. Rochester is the core city for an area about 110 km from east to west and about 80 km north to south. Monroe County, which runs some 60 km from east to west, is the jurisdiction within this metropolitan area in which most of the mental health services are provided. While surrounding counties have some of their own services, persons with severe problems, such as psychosis, come into the city medical facilities. Rochester’s strategic location has meant that there is very little duplication of resources within the area. From the epidemiological standpoint, this has two consequences: (1) At the time of primary data collection, there was no significant “leakage” from the area of persons with acute psychoses; all were screened through the Emergency Department of Strong Memorial Hospital, the site of the Rochester WHO Center. (2) Mobility is primarily from one neighborhood to another (e.g., from the inner city to the suburbs). People tend to stay within Monroe County and continue to receive public health care services within the same jurisdiction.

Abstract:

After his return to Kentucky, Ben Major becomes deeply involved in the nascent Christian Church (Disciples of Christ); its founders, Alexander Campbell and Barton W. Stone, stridently oppose slavery. Ben had long harbored doubts about slavery. Now, driven by his new faith and memories of the brutal New Orleans slave markets, he decides to free his enslaved people. He becomes a life member of the American Colonization Society but learns that emancipation is not a simple process. Ben creates a multi-year plan that includes teaching his slaves to read and write. He also makes plans to move his own family from the slave state of Kentucky to the free state of Illinois and purchases land in Tazewell County, Illinois. When a colonization society agent, G. W. McElroy, travels through southwestern Kentucky, Ben’s slaves are turned over to him for transport to New York.

Full text

Abstract:

The effect of automation on employment and jobs has engaged thoughtful computer scientists and economists since the earliest days of computing. Yet there have been concerns about the effects of technology on employment since ancient times, and notably during the First Industrial Revolution in the nineteenth century by a group of workers known as the ‘Luddites’. Our first topic is the role of algorithms in enabling more efficient processing of job applicants and the selection of candidates to interview. This now includes the automatic filtering out of huge numbers of résumés that are never seen by human resource professionals. Next, we look at how technology is used in monitoring job performance, with the goal of encouraging or requiring enhanced performance. Oftentimes, these practices have the opposite effect, as it makes workers feel like ‘Big Brother’ is watching. Companies have long used contractors to provide flexibility in the availability of workers as well as to circumvent costs such as medical benefits and liabilities such as severance pay. This practice has recently changed dramatically: internet communication can now rapidly link seekers of services to providers of the services. This is typically called the gig economy or sharing economy, yet a better name is on-demand services. We shall then examine areas where automation threatens to replace human workers with machines. Fear is rampant, as typified by a 2017 New York Times article, ‘Will Robots Take Our Children’s Jobs?’ Between 2014 and 2016, future prospects were analysed in five scholarly books. We examine the phenomenon of unemployment by looking at specific areas: agriculture, manufacturing, service industries, and the professions. We highlight how new robotic technology, incorporating sensing, reasoning, and manipulating abilities, is enabling significant automation. Of particular importance is the extent to which new machine learning systems are enabling the automation of thinking and reasoning, which were previously considered infeasible for machines. Arguably the most interesting, challenging, and risky application is that of automatic diagnosis of disease, and, more speculatively, robot doctors.

Abstract:

Transgender people face many barriers to healthcare, especially in rural America. The work to decrease barriers to care and address health care disparities for this population meets criteria for a wicked problem, each of which is unique and has no clear solution. The barriers are related to the individual and society and are both formal and informal. The definition for a Center of Excellence in healthcare is loose, but these organizations aspire to serve as specialized programs that offer comprehensive, interdisciplinary expertise and resources within a medical field to improve patient outcomes. With funding and leadership training from the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars program, a group of medical and mental health clinicians worked for three years with the goal of creating a Rural-Based Center of Excellence in Transgender Health embedded within a family practice to approach the wicked problem of transgender healthcare in their region. The goals of the center were six pronged: the provision of competent and affirming medical, surgical and mental health services, training for healthcare professional students, medical-legal advocacy and patient-centered research. The team created a strategic plan, with five strategic directions, including 1) developing infrastructure and organizational capacity, 2) expanding awareness, knowledge and skills, 3) fulfilling staffing needs, 4) ensuring gender-affirming care, and 5) advancing evidence-based care. I describe our work to bring transgender health from the margins to the mainstream for our region through implementation of this strategic plan.

Abstract:

Background: Medical cannabis (MC) use is rising with limited clinical data to support products and dosing for specific conditions. This study relies on observational data to examine MC purchases across time, and to assess dosing trajectories for different conditions. Methods: A retrospective study of MC patients of dispensaries located in New York (NY). This study relies on secondary analysis of point-of-sale (POS) invoice data from 16,727 unique patients with 79,885 purchases between 2016-2019. Group-based-trajectory modeling (GBTM) was used to identify clusters of MC patients following similar progressions in potency utilization (e.g., THC and CBD) over time. Multinomial logit models were estimated to identify group membership based on patient level characteristics and qualifying medical conditions. Results: Six distinct trajectory groups were identified. Four of the groups compromised (75%), (39.9%), (8.2%), and (8.5%) of the population and purchased a steady dosage (ranging from low to high) of THC over time. The fifth (14.9%) and sixth group (10.1%) demonstrated MC patients who gradually increased their THC dosage across time. Patient characteristics and qualifying medical conditions for MC use were strong predictors of group membership. Men, older individuals, and those with a qualifying pain condition were more likely to be part of a group that consumed higher doses of THC across time, compared to other reference groups. Conclusion: This study identified distinctive trajectories of monthly THC and CBD potency levels purchased, and factors associated with these trajectories. Examining MC purchasing patterns over time may help understand whether MC treatment works, subgroups of MC patients, and risk factors. This study pioneer’s analysis of POS data, which could help guide policy decisions to effectively monitor MC use, aid in the design of future MC programs and target prevention efforts. This study provides a strong foundation upon which that research can build by utilizing new-technologically advanced sales data sets.

Abstract:

Background: During the past two decades of cannabis legalization, the prevalence of medical cannabis (MC) use has increased and there has also been an upward trend in alcohol consumption. As less restricted cannabis laws generate more adult cannabis users, there is concern that more individuals may be simultaneously using medical cannabis with alcohol. A few studies have examined simultaneous use of medical cannabis with alcohol, but none of those studies also assessed patients’ current or previous non-medical cannabis use. This paper explores simultaneous alcohol and medical cannabis use among medical cannabis patients with a specific focus on previous history of cannabis use and current non-medical cannabis use. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of MC patients (N=631) from four dispensaries located in New York state. Bivariate chi-square tests and multivariable logistic regression are used to estimate the extent to which sociodemographic and other factors were associated with simultaneous use. Results: Approximately 29% of the sample engaged in simultaneous use and a large share of these users report previous (44%) or current (66%) use of cannabis for non-medical purposes. MC patients who either previously or currently use cannabis non-medicinally, men, and patients using MC to treat a pain-related condition, were significantly more likely to report simultaneous alcohol/MC use. Conclusions: Results suggest that cannabis use does not fit into two mutually exclusive typologies, medical and non-medical (“recreational”), but exists along a continuum where patients’ use and purposes shift to match their health and daily lives. Findings indicate that there may be differential risks related to alcohol/MC use prevalence, which should be considered by cannabis regulatory policies and prevention/treatment programs. If patients are using cannabis and/or alcohol to manage pain, clinicians should screen for both alcohol and cannabis use risk factors.
