Abstract

El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) related anomalies were analyzed using a combination of satellite measurements of elevated sea surface temperatures, and subsequent elevated rainfall and satellite derived normalized difference vegetation index data. A Rift Valley fever risk mapping model using these climate data predicted areas where outbreaks of Rift Valley fever in humans and animals were expected and occurred in the Horn of Africa from December 2006 to May 2007. The predictions were subsequently confirmed by entomological and epidemiological field investigations of virus activity in the areas identified as at risk. Accurate spatial and temporal predictions of disease activity, as it occurred first in southern Somalia and then through much of Kenya before affecting northern Tanzania, provided a 2 to 6 week period of warning for the Horn of Africa that facilitated disease outbreak response and mitigation activities. This is the first prospective prediction of a Rift Valley fever outbreak.

Abstract

The use of vaccines against the bacterium Hemophilus influenzae type b (hib) has reduced the incidence of Hib disease in many military bases. Government data on hospitalization rates of children of military personnel show that the incidence of Hib disease in children under the age of five has dropped 50% since 1987. The first Hib vaccine was licensed in 1985, followed in 1987 by a conjugate vaccine that was more effective. In 1986, 188 cases of Hib disease were treated at military hospitals, compared to only 43 in 1991. An estimated two million doses of vaccine were purchased by the Department of Defense between 1985 and 1991, and in 1991, more than 80% of eligible children were vaccinated. The incidence of Hib meningitis began falling in 1988, two years before the vaccine was licensed in infants, who have the highest risk of the disease. This could reflect a drop in the number of carriers among the older children., Objective.--To document trends in the incidence of invasive Haemophilus influenzae diseases in young children of US Army active duty soldiers following the publication of H influenzae type b immunization recommendations for young children between 1985 and 1990. Design.--A population-based surveillance of hospital discharge diagnoses for H influenzae invasive diseases. Setting.--Military and civilian medical treatment facilities around the world. Patients.--There was a mean population of nearly 200000 US Army health care beneficiaries younger than 5 years of age each year of the study. Outcome Measures.--Annual total and age-specific incidences of the six most common H influenzae invasive diseases in this population (meningitis, epiglottitis, septicemia, pneumonia, cellulitis, and septic arthritis). Results.--The annual number of cases of H influenzae invasive diseases decreased from a high of 188 in 1986 to 43 in 1991. The incidence in the age group at highest risk for H influenzae disease, those 6 to 11 months of age, decreased from 355 per 100000 children in 1986 to 116 per 100000 in 1991 (P Conclusions.--The decrease in H influenzae invasive diseases closely follows the dates of H influenzae type b vaccine licensure for use in progressively younger age groups. Some age groups, however, experienced a decline in disease rates even before becoming eligible for vaccination. (JAMA. 1993;269:227-231)

Abstract

Recently there has been resurgence in the number of cases of measles, mumps, and rubella (German measles). Many of these cases are occurring not in the young child, as in the past, but in teenagers and young adults. A study was undertaken to determine the level of immunity of young adults, in an effort to provide information to those who make national and military immunization policy decisions. There were 1,547 US army recruits included in the study; the recruits were given a questionnaire and blood samples were obtained. Blood samples were evaluated for antibody status (presence of antibodies indicates immunity) against measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (chicken pox), as well as poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3. The results of the blood analysis revealed that 20.7 percent of recruits were without antibodies against measles; 15.6 percent, against mumps; 17.6 percent against rubella; and 6.9 percent against varicella. Susceptibility to measles, mumps, and rubella was less in women, blacks, and college-educated recruits; women and backs were more susceptible to varicella. Older recruits (those born before 1970) more often had immunity to measles, mumps and rubella than did younger recruits. A total of 2.3 percent of the recruits lacked immunity to polio type 1; 0.6 percent to type 2; and 14.6 percent to type 3. It is concluded that immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella is unevenly distributed among young Americans. These findings support the national objective of improving immunization in school children and young adults. Results support legislation which would require those entering college to present evidence of at least two measles vaccinations, one of which having been given at or after admission to elementary school.

Abstract

Background: Studies of related individuals have consistently demonstrated notable familial aggregation of cancer. We aim to estimate the heritability and genetic correlation attributable to the additive effects of common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for cancer at 13 anatomical sites. Methods: Between 2007 and 2014, the US National Cancer Institute has generated data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for 49 492 cancer case patients and 34 131 control patients. We apply novel mixed model methodology (GCTA) to this GWAS data to estimate the heritability of individual cancers, as well as the proportion of heritability attributable to cigarette smoking in smoking-related cancers, and the genetic correlation between pairs of cancers. Results: GWAS heritability was statistically significant at nearly all sites, with the estimates of array-based heritability, h(l)(2), on the liability threshold (LT) scale ranging from 0.05 to 0.38. Estimating the combined heritability of multiple smoking characteristics, we calculate that at least 24% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 14% to 37%) and 7% (95% CI = 4% to 11%) of the heritability for lung and bladder cancer, respectively, can be attributed to genetic determinants of smoking. Most pairs of cancers studied did not show evidence of strong genetic correlation. We found only four pairs of cancers with marginally statistically significant correlations, specifically kidney and testes (rho = 0.73, SE = 0.28), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and pediatric osteosarcoma (rho = 0.53, SE = 0.21), DLBCL and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) (rho = 0.51, SE = 0.18), and bladder and lung (rho = 0.35, SE = 0.14). Correlation analysis also indicates that the genetic architecture of lung cancer differs between a smoking population of European ancestry and a nonsmoking Asian population, allowing for the possibility that the genetic etiology for the same disease can vary by population and environmental exposures. Conclusion: Our results provide important insights into the genetic architecture of cancers and suggest new avenues for investigation.

Abstract

In an analysis of 31,717 cancer cases and 26,136 cancer-free controls from 13 genome-wide association studies, we observed large chromosomal abnormalities in a subset of clones in DNA obtained from blood or buccal samples. We observed mosaic abnormalities, either aneuploidy or copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity, of > 2 Mb in size in autosomes of 517 individuals (0.89%), with abnormal cell proportions of between 7% and 95%. In cancer-free individuals, frequency increased with age, from 0.23% under 50 years to 1.91% between 75 and 79 years (P = 4.8 x 10(-8)). Mosaic abnormalities were more frequent in individuals with solid tumors (0.97% versus 0.74% in cancer-free individuals; odds ratio (OR) = 1.25; P = 0.016), with stronger association with cases who had DNA collected before diagnosis or treatment (OR = 1.45; P = 0.0005). Detectable mosaicism was also more common in individuals for whom DNA was collected at least 1 year before diagnosis with leukemia compared to cancer-free individuals (OR = 35.4; P = 3.8 x 10(-11)). These findings underscore the time-dependent nature of somatic events in the etiology of cancer and potentially other late-onset diseases.

Abstract

The article focuses on a study which examined the risk of testicular germ cell tumors TGCT and polymorphisms in the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) genes. Using adjusted linear regression models, the relationships between polymorphisms and adult height were assessed, while the associations between polymorphisms and TGCT were determined using adjusted logistic regression models. The results of the study suggested that genetic variation in IGF loci is not associated with TGCT risk.

Abstract

The authors developed a monitoring and risk mapping system using normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) times series data derived from the advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) instrument on polar orbiting national oceanographic and atmospheric administration (NOAA) satellites to map areas with a potential for a Rift Valley fever (RVF) outbreaks in sub-Saharan Africa. This system is potentially an important tool for local, national and international organisations involved in the prevention and control of animal and human disease, permitting focused and timely implementation of disease control strategies several months before an outbreak. We are currently developing a geographic information system (GIS)-based remotely sensed early warning system for potential RVF vectors in the United States. Forecasts of the potential emergence of mosquito vectors will be disseminated throughout the United States, providing several months' warning in advance of potentially elevated mosquito populations. This would allow timely, targeted implementation of mosquito control, animal quarantine and vaccine strategies to reduce or prevent animal and human disease.
