20. Assessment of Secondhand Smoke Exposure at School among U.S. Middle and High School Students

Abstract

To obtain nationally representative estimates of the prevalence of secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure at U.S. schools, we assessed the prevalence and correlates of SHS exposure at school among U.S. middle and high school students using data from the 2011 National Youth Tobacco Survey comprising of 18,866 students spread across all the U.S. states. Overall prevalence of SHS exposure at school was 25.7% (95% CI: [23.6%, 27.8%]). Multivariate logistic regression indicated that having =1 smoker friends (adjusted Odds Ratio [aOR] = 2.92; p < 0.001); being a smoker (aOR = 2.75; p < 0.001); and being aged 13-16 years, or =17 years (vs. 9-12 years) significantly increased the likelihood of SHS exposure. Understanding the health risks of SHS exposure alone did not seem to play a significant role in reducing exposure (aOR = 0.89; p = 0.342). These findings show there are significant levels of SHS exposure among students at U.S. middle and high schools, and sustained multipronged efforts are needed to reduce youth SHS exposure.

Abstract

Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma, an uncommon neoplasm of the parotid gland, accounts for less than 4% of salivary gland tumors. It arises from a benign pleomorphic adenoma presenting in the sixth to eighth decades of life. We present this as a unique account of a primary parotid gland carcinoma, arising from myoepithelial cells, without a known precursor lesion, in a 28-year-old woman. This presentation seeks to provide familiarity of an unusual presentation of an unexpected rare pathology in a young female patient and the tools utilized for an accurate diagnosis.

41. Disfiguring Firearm Injuries in Children in the United States

Author

Zeineddin, Suhail, Zeineddin, Ahmad, Jain, Anish, Olufajo, Olubode A., Koolaee, Sima, Cornwell, Edward E., and Williams, Mallory

Abstract

Firearms are a leading cause of injury and death among children in the United States. Most gun violence studies highlight mortality, but few have examined the morbidity in disfiguring injuries suffered by children. Using National Trauma Data Bank 2007-2015, children who suffered gunshot injuries and underwent procedures with lasting physical disfigurement formed the cohort of this study. We identified 28 593 children as victims of firearm injuries. Most were aged 13-18 (84%). There was a preponderance of male gender (86%) and black race/ethnicity (57%). Total mortality was 3774 (13%), and 1500 (5.4%) were identified with one or more disfigurements: 220 amputations, 191 craniectomy, 100 enucleation, 533 ileostomy/colostomy, and 557 tracheostomies. This report highlights the large toll firearm injuries take on American children, specifically in non-concealable disfigurements. These injuries are very impactful to their education and overall socialization and therefore must be a part of the discussion of gun violence in the United States.
