Methods: The Utah Refugee Health Screener is a standardized form used to screen all refugees resettled in Utah. Prevalence was calculated for mental and physical health conditions. Comparisons were made by age, sex, and geographic region. Results: Between 2012 and 2017, 6,842 refugees (ages 0-59 years) were resettled in Utah and included in this analysis. The prevalence of mental health findings was higher for adults than children (36.9% vs 18.0%). Among adults, women had higher prevalence of mental health findings than men (Prevalence Ratio (PR) of 1.3-1.9), while refugees from the Middle East had consistently higher prevalence than those from other regions. Similarly, the prevalence of physical health findings was generally higher for adults than children (66.2% vs 41.5%). Differences between men and women were most notable for the categories of pulmonology (PR=3.6 for men vs women), endocrinology (PR=2.0 for women vs men), and neurology (PR=2.0 for women vs men). Conclusions: Adult refugees have higher prevalence of both mental and physical health findings on screening exam. Screening identifies conditions that are largely treatable. However, these conditions typically don’t resolve without treatment and if left untreated, result in increased morbidity and mortality. The initial domestic screening is an opportunity to connect refugees with appropriate treatment to address health concerns, thus facilitating their ability to successfully engage in other resettlement activities, such as work and school.","PeriodicalId":73682,"journal":{"name":"Journal of community medicine & public health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69475568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the pandemic progress, the virus changes itself, mutate and produce more variants across the globe. The vaccine is the most important way to curb the COVID-19 pandemic by reaching the community immunity (Herd immunity). Spreading of the virus is unlikely when the herd immunity is achieved. In fact, a remarkable reduction in the percentage of infection, hospital admission and severe cases is witnessed in various countries after the vaccination. Although Saudi Arabia holds a low fatality rate in comparison with other parts of the world, the COVID infection is highly prevalent besides the presence of other comorbidities. Hesitancy in getting the vaccine raise the risk of continuing the COVID-19 global pandemic, its transmission and evolution will continue and we might face a novel stage of contagion; COVID-20. The virus owns an unexpected spread rate, its profound impact on people health and healthcare system makes it highly important to end up the pandemic through vaccination. We must be all responsible, vigilant, caring about our health and urge community immunity by encouraging every person to take the vaccine.","PeriodicalId":73682,"journal":{"name":"Journal of community medicine & public health","volume":"111 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69475991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of workplace violence among nurses working at governmental hospitals in Qatar. Results: Surveying HCW with response rate of (90%), (390) nurses with mean age of (36.08 ± 7.747). Most of them were married (79.2%) and non-Qatari (95.4%). Verbal abuse was the most common type of violence (30.6%) followed by physical and sexual harassment of (5.5%) and (1.7%) respectively. In all types of the studied violence either patients or patients’ relatives were the most common source of the violence. Health care management was greatly encouraging all the staff for reporting such incidences (88%) comparing to support from colleges or friends. Conclusion: Less than half of the nurses experienced workplace violence during the year prior to the study. Verbal abuse was the most common type while sexual harassment was the least common. The majority of attackers were patients, relatives of patients, then HCWs. There is a high need for raising awareness at HCW level as well as organizational level and implementing efficient mechanism to prevent and deal with such violence.","PeriodicalId":73682,"journal":{"name":"Journal of community medicine & public health","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69474973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Behavioral lifestyle intervention may play an important role in slowing down, stop or even reverse the progression to type 2 DM. The purpose of this study is exploring the epidemiological characteristics of prediabetes and assess the available knowledge about the role of PE intervention on prediabetic adults. Methodology: Narrative review was done through using academic database search. Fifty-one English online articles about the effect of exercises on prediabetic adults have been included in the study. Findings: Most studies agreed on positive effects of PE on glycemic status in prediabetic patients. However, some studies find slight or even no effects of lifestyle modifications including PE on developing type 2 DM and other complications. Studies agreed that, PE on both aerobic and resistance exercise adjusts cellular glucose uptake, improve insulin sensitivity, muscular and hepatic glucose metabolism resulting in more glycemic control, which reverses many pathological factors related to the usual glycemic & metabolic control and cardiopulmonary function. Substantial inconsistency in some studies could be explained by race, existing comorbidities, individual physiological status and PE prescription. Conclusion: This review suggests that PE may express a positive influence among prediabetic patients. However more population-based studies with clinical trial design are needed taking into consideration many confounders including race, gender, genetics, physiological status and PE training prescription.","PeriodicalId":73682,"journal":{"name":"Journal of community medicine & public health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69476073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to identify differences between COVID-19 positive and negative patients. Methods: Hospitalized patients with respiratory illness, or fever, were isolated in the emergency room and tested for COVID-19. Patients with a negative PCR and low probability for COVID-19 were taken out of isolation. Patients with a higher probability for COVID-19 remained in isolation during hospitalization and were retested after 48 hours. Risk factors for COVID-19 were assessed using logistic regression. Results: 254 patients were included, 37 COVID-19-positive (14.6%) and 217 COVID-19-negative (85.4%). Median age was 76 years, 52% were males. In a multivariate regression model, variables significantly associated with COVID-19 positivity were exposure to a confirmed COVID-19 case, length of symptoms before testing, bilateral and peripheral infiltrates in chest X-ray, neutrophil count within the normal range, and elevated LDH. In an analysis including only patients with pneumonia (N=78, 18 positive for COVID-19), only bilateral and peripheral infiltrates, normal neutrophil count and elevated LDH were associated with COVID-19 positivity. Conclusions: The clinical presentation of COVID-19 positive and negative patients is similar, but radiographic and laboratory features may help to identify COVID-19 positive patients and to initiate quick decisions regarding isolation.","PeriodicalId":73682,"journal":{"name":"Journal of community medicine & public health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45447727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
