Hearing Loss and Auditory-Visual Episodic Memory among Urban-Dwelling American Indian and Alaska Native Elders in the URBANE Study
Hearing loss is an increasingly recognized risk factor for cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD), yet cognitive assessments rarely account for hearing status despite relying heavily on auditory stimuli. Consequently, it remains unclear whether poorer episodic memory performance reflects cognitive decline or suboptimal sensory conditions. Using data from the URBAn Native Elders…
Impact of a Data-Informed Universal Masking Policy on Hospital-Acquired COVID-19, Influenza, and RSV Infections in King County, Washington: A Controlled Interrupted Time-Series Analysis
Hospital-acquired respiratory viral infections (HAIs), including COVID-19, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), contribute to increased patient morbidity and healthcare burden. Universal masking has been shown to reduce respiratory virus transmission in healthcare settings, but masking mandates have fallen out of favor in the years following the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, the Northwest Healthcare Response…

Short-Term Cardiac Rhythm and Conduction Abnormalities Among Children Following Atrial Septal Defect Closure
Impact of Introducing Mycoplasma genitalium Testing for Acute NGU and MG-Specific Treatment on Persistent NGU
Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) is a common cause of non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU), particularly in persistent cases that often result from undetected and not optimally treated infections. In response to rising local prevalence of macrolide resistance, the Public Health-Seattle & King County (PHSKC) Sexual Health Clinic (SHC) began MG testing at first NGU presentation in 2018 and…
Neighborhood Green Space and Objective Measures of Sleep: MESA Sleep and MESA-Air
Background: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), is a prevalent and underdiagnosed condition with significant health and economic consequences. While individual behaviors and environmental exposures are known contributors to poor sleep, the role of neighborhood green space remains underexplored, particularly using objective sleep measures. Methods: This study investigates the association between residential greenness—measured…
Associations of clinical features with kidney tubular biomarker trajectories in individuals with type 1 diabetes
BackgroundIdentification of risk factors of tubular injury and dysfunction among individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) may provide insight into the mechanisms underlying tubulointerstitial pathology and allow for improved kidney health prognostication and treatment. MethodsWe examined associations of clinical characteristics and drug interventions on tubular biomarker trends in two T1D cohorts: (1) the Renin Angiotensin…
Prevalence of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Among Adolescent and Young Women in Kenya and Behaviors and Experiences Associated with HIV Acquisition
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are significant stressors linked to negative health outcomes, yet their relationship with factors associated with HIV acquisition among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) is poorly understood, especially in high HIV burden settings. This study characterized ACE prevalence and its association with HIV-related characteristics among AGYW in Kenya. A cross-sectional analysis…
