Dengue is the most common mosquito-borne viral disease in humans. Although many dengue virus (DENV) infections are asymptomatic or produce only mild illness, DENV can occasionally cause severe and fatal disease. In this study, we compared the severity of primary and secondary DENV-1 infections among patients enrolled in a prospective, hospital-based, acute febrile illnesses surveillance system in Puerto Rico (2012-2014). Serum samples collected <7 days after symptom onset were tested for...

CONCLUSIONS: During the first 18 months of pediatric IM availability, we observed increasing referrals and repeated utilization of services. Future work will investigate longitudinal trends in IM service utilization and the symptom-related impact of IM within a comprehensive cancer center.

CONCLUSIONS: Variability in SI and SA prevalence among Veterans at state, divisional and regional levels supports the need for nuanced surveillance efforts, along with targeted prevention efforts in areas at greatest risk.

PROBLEM/CONDITION: In 2022, approximately 24,000 persons died of homicide and approximately 49,000 persons died of suicide in the United States, according to the National Vital Statistics System. This report summarizes data from CDC's National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) on suicides, homicides, legal intervention deaths, unintentional firearm injury deaths, and deaths of undetermined intent that occurred in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico in 2022. Results are...

Supramolecular hacky sacks (SHS) are a distinct class of self-assembled colloidal particles derived from guanosine (G) derivatives, engineered to support a wide range of cellular and therapeutic functions. In this study, we examine how variations in G-derivative composition influence SHS cellular uptake, intracellular trafficking, and functional efficacy. Confocal microscopy and flow cytometry reveal that uptake is highly dependent on particle composition, indicating selective engagement with...

The cave ecosystems host microbial communities adapted to extreme environments. This study utilized 16S rDNA to investigate the prokaryotic diversity across seven caves in Puerto Rico's northern limestone karst belt. Microbial profiling revealed distinct subterranean communities, enhancing our understanding of cave microbiology and potential applications in environmental conservation and microbial research.

The Human Networks and Data Science program (HNDS) supports research that enhances understanding of human behavior by leveraging data and network science research across a broad range of topics. HNDS research will identify ways in which dynamic, distributed, or heterogeneous data can provide novel answers to fundamental questions about individual or group behavior. HNDS is especially interested in proposals that provide data-rich insights about human networks to support improved health, ...
