Climate change and sea level rise have increased the frequency severity of flooding events in coastal communities. This study quantifies transportation impacts recurring using crowdsourced traffic flood incident data. Agency-provided continuous count station volume data at 12 locations is supplemented by crowd-sourced from location-based apps Norfolk, Virginia, to assess recurrent on flow. A ra...

TCR gene therapy represents a feasible and promising treatment for patients with cancer and virus infections. Currently, this treatment rationale is hampered by diluted surface expression of the TCR transgene and generation of potentially self reactive T-cells, both a direct consequence of mis-pairing with endogenous TCR chains. As we reported previously (Gene Ther 16:1369, 2000; J Immunol 180:...

BACKGROUND There remains little evidence to support a perioperative hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level that could serve as a threshold for a significantly increased risk of deep postoperative infection in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) following total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS A national administrative database was queried for patients who underwent primary THA with DM. Patients with an...

IMPORTANCE Global use of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines to prevent cervical cancer is impeded by cost. A 2-dose schedule for girls may be possible. OBJECTIVE To determine whether mean antibody levels to HPV-16 and HPV-18 among girls receiving 2 doses was noninferior to women receiving 3 doses. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS Randomized, phase 3, postlicensure, multicenter, age-stratified...

BACKGROUND People vary in how they respond to symptoms. The purpose of this study was to assess whether serious disease is more likely to be present in patients who report that they take any symptoms less seriously than other people do, and to assess the reliability of a question which can be used to identify the extent to which patients take any symptom seriously. To do this we assessed whethe...
