Abstract:
Abstract Introduction Military personnel have among the highest rates of tobacco use in the United States. Unfortunately, there are few interventions aimed at reducing tobacco use among this vulnerable population. The current study addresses this need by evaluating the short-term effectiveness of a Brief Tobacco Intervention (BTI), a 40-min group-based intervention designed to reduce contemporary patterns of tobacco use among a sample of US military enlistees during an 11-week period of involuntary tobacco abstinence. Aims and Methods Participants were 2999 US Air Force Technical Trainees at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas from April 2017 through January 2018. Participants were cluster randomized to three conditions: (1) BTI + Airman’s Guide to Remaining Tobacco Free (AG), (2) AG intervention, or (3) standard smoking cessation intervention. The primary analysis was a comparison of the interventions’ efficacies in preventing tobacco use during Technical Training, conducted using a generalized estimating equations logistic regression model controlling for covariates. Multiple imputation was used to account for loss to follow-up. Results There was not a significant difference by condition in the use of tobacco products at follow-up (p = .454). The BTI + AG condition did produce short-term changes in perceived harm, intentions to use tobacco, knowledge about tobacco products, and normative beliefs. Conclusions These findings suggest that while the intervention was effective in the short term, it was not potent enough over a 12-week period to prevent Airmen from initiating tobacco use. Future studies should examine whether adding a booster session or media campaign enhances the effectiveness of the intervention. Implications Despite the fact that most Airmen believe they will remain tobacco free following the ban in Technical Training, a large percentage of these Airmen resume and initiate tobacco use during this high-risk period. As a result, there is a need for interventions targeting the range of tobacco available to military trainees during a teachable moment when they report intentions to remain tobacco free. The current study shows that a BTI has promise in reducing long-term tobacco use, when coupled with additional interventions, such as a booster session or a media campaign.

Abstract:
Context: Musculoskeletal injuries are common in military trainees and have significant medical and operational effects. Objective: To provide current musculoskeletal injury epidemiology data for US Air Force basic military trainees. Design: Descriptive epidemiologic study with cross-sectional features. Setting: US Air Force Basic Military Training, Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas. Patients or Other Participants: All recruits who entered training between July 1, 2012, and June 30, 2014. Main Outcome Measure(s): Incidence density rate of all musculoskeletal injuries (stratified by body region and type) and factors and costs associated with injuries. Results: Of the 67 525 trainees, 12.5% sustained 1 or more musculoskeletal injuries. The overall incidence density rate was 18.3 injuries per 1000 person-weeks (15.1 for men and 29.4 for women). The most common diagnosis (n = 2984) was Pain in joint, lower leg, as described in the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification, code 719.46. Injuries were more common among those with lower levels of baseline aerobic and muscular fitness. Injured trainees were 3.01 times (95% confidence interval = 2.85, 3.18) as likely to be discharged, and injured trainees who did graduate were 2.88 times (95% confidence interval = 2.72, 3.04) as likely to graduate late. During the surveillance period, injuries resulted in more than $43.7 million in medical ($8.7 million) and nonmedical ($35 million) costs. Conclusions: Musculoskeletal injuries, predominantly of the lower extremities, have significant fiscal and operational effects on Air Force Basic Military Training. Further research into prevention and early rehabilitation of these injuries in military trainees is warranted.

Abstract:
Abstract Background In 2017, the TriService Nursing Research Program completed a strategic planning session, which identified key barriers to implementing evidence-based practice (EBP) within the U.S. Military Health System (MHS) including a focus on readiness training and deployments, frequent staff moves for military members, and relatively junior nurses in clinical roles. To facilitate EBP at individual military treatment facilities (MTFs), an EPB Facilitator role was developed using an evidence-based model and based on validated EBP competencies. Methods This new role was implemented at four MTFs in 2018: Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, 59th Medical Wing at Joint Base San Antonio Lackland, Naval Medical Center San Diego, and David Grant USAF Medical Center at Travis Air Force Base. This case series provides a description of the initial implementation of this role. Results Common enablers and challenges were identified from the experiences at all four sites. These included the importance of incorporating efforts into existing organizational efforts and infrastructure; the value of nurse leaders inviting EBP facilitators to participate and engage in scheduled meetings and committees; the significance of engaging with existing quality, process improvement, and training initiatives; and the benefit of collaborating with advanced practice nurses within the organization. The common challenges for all EBP facilitators were the frequent staff turnover at all levels and a lack of standardization to review and approve EBP initiatives, which makes it difficult to navigate the complete process of project implementation and collaboration across sites. Another challenge has been the difficulty to measure the impact of this role at the MTF and MHS levels. Conclusions As EBP efforts continue and the program matures, it is anticipated that the outcomes from the individually completed projects, to include decreases in safety events, fiscal savings, and other improvements in organizational metrics, can be compiled to demonstrate the collective impact of these roles within the MHS.

Abstract:
Abstract Introduction Chronic insomnia disorder affects approximately 10% of the U.S. population and is linked to various adverse health consequences. Despite advancements in pharmacological interventions, many individuals continue to experience recurrent symptoms. A comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying insomnia is crucial for developing innovative and effective treatments. This study aimed to profile plasma proteins using an unbiased high-throughput assay to identify potential biomarkers for insomnia, with a specific focus on discerning any differential responses between men and women. Methods This prospective, observational study (n=60; 40 insomnia, 20 control; 58.3% females) was part of a larger study completed at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland. Participants completed an overnight in-lab diagnostic polysomnogram, blood collection and clinical evaluation. We applied an unbiased high multiplexed proteomic discovery technique using DNA aptamers to target 7,000 proteins in plasma samples. Chi-square test and Mann–Whitney U-test were performed to determine the group differences. Adjusted p-values were calculated by using Benjamini–Hochberg's false discovery rate (FDR). Dysregulated proteins were uploaded into the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis software (Qiagen IPA) to explore the mechanistic networks most significantly associated with the study outcome. Significance level was set at 0.05 in all tests. Results We identified 54 significantly dysregulated plasma proteins (29 upregulated, 25 downregulated) when comparing individuals with diagnosed insomnia, stratified by gender. The top three upregulated proteins were T cell surface antigen CD2, Leptin (LEP), and N-terminal pro-BNP (NPPB); the top three downregulated proteins were Kunitz-type protease inhibitor 3 (SPINT3), Beta-defensin 104 (DEFB104A), and Benign Prostate-specific Antigen (KLK3). Pathway analysis revealed associations with proinflammatory cascades and metabolic signaling pathways. Conclusion Our findings highlight the feasibility of multiplex proteomic profiling in identifying blood-based biomarkers for understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms of insomnia disorder. Further research is warranted to ascertain the clinical utility of these candidate proteins.

Abstract:
Purpose. To examine gender and ethnic differences in smoking and smoking cessation in a population of young adult military recruits. Design. A self-administered survey of demographics, tobacco use, and other health risk behaviors was administered at the start of basic military training. Setting. The study was conducted at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas, where all U.S. Air Force recruits complete basic military training. Subjects. All recruits who entered the U.S. Air Force between September 1995 and September 1996 participated in this study (n = 32,144; 100% participation rate). Measures. Recruits completed a written 53-item behavioral risk questionnaire. Measures examined in the present study included smoking status (ever having smoked a cigarette, current daily smoking, and quitting); demographics (ethnicity, gender, education, family income, and age); smoking history; and nicotine dependence. Results. Rates of ever smoking, current daily smoking, and quitting were examined in multiple logistic regression analyses as a function of gender and ethnicity, controlling for age, education, and family income. Overall, 54% of recruits had ever smoked a cigarette and 24.9% smoked daily at the time of entry into basic military training. Smoking rates were highest among white and Native American recruits. Among whites, women were more likely to be a current daily smoker (31.6% vs. 29.4%; odds ratio [OR] = 1.18, 99% confidence intervals [CI] = 1.08–1.29). The opposite pattern was observed among African-Americans (5.6% vs. 9.8%, respectively; OR = .57; CI = .41–.79). Current smokers had low levels of nicotine dependence compared with the general population of U.S. smokers, but whites tended to be more dependent than other ethnic groups. Cessation rates were similar for men and women but differed according to ethnicity, ranging from 15% among whites to 23% among Hispanics. Conclusions. These findings document important gender and ethnic differences in cigarette smoking among military recruits. Whites and Native Americans were more likely to smoke, less likely to quit, and more nicotine-dependent than other ethnic groups. Across gender/ethnicity groups, smoking rates were especially high among white women, with nearly one-third smoking daily until entry into basic training. Gender differences were not observed in cessation rates, but Hispanics were more likely than other ethnic groups to have quit smoking. The results highlight the need to develop effective cessation interventions for this population.

Abstract:
Context Musculoskeletal injury is the leading cause of attrition from military training. Objective To assess the effect of an embedded athletic training musculoskeletal care model within a basic military training unit. Design Cluster randomized trial. Setting United States Air Force Basic Military Training, Joint Base San Antonio—Lackland. Patients or Other Participants Military recruits randomly assigned to 1 of 3 training squadrons, 2 control and 1 experimental, between January 2016 and December 2018. Intervention(s) A sports medicine care model was established in 1 squadron by embedding 2 certified athletic trainers overseen by a sports medicine fellowship-trained physician. The athletic trainers diagnosed and coordinated rehabilitation as the primary point of contact for recruits and developed interventions with medical and military leadership based on injury trends. Main Outcome Measure(s) Recruit attrition from basic training due to a musculoskeletal injury. Secondary outcomes were all-cause attrition, on-time graduation, rates of lower extremity injury and stress fracture, rates of specialty care appointments, and fiscal costs. Results Recruits in the athletic training musculoskeletal care arm experienced 25% lower musculoskeletal-related attrition (risk ratio = 0.75 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.64, 0.89]) and 15% lower all-cause attrition (risk ratio = 0.85 [95% CI = 0.80, 0.91]), translating to a net saving of more than $10 million. The intervention reduced the incidence of lower extremity stress fracture by 16% (rate ratio = 0.84 [95% CI = 0.73, 0.97]). Conclusions An embedded athletic training musculoskeletal care model outperformed usual care across operational, medical, and fiscal outcomes.

Abstract:
Abstract Background. Adenovirus (Ad) has long been the predominant cause of acute respiratory illness (ARI) in military trainees. In 2011, live oral Ad vaccines for serotypes 4 and 7 were reintroduced into US basic military training populations. This study evaluated the impact on clinical presentations and other respiratory pathogens. Methods. The Center for Advanced Molecular Detection at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland prospectively collects demographic, clinical, and polymerase chain reaction data from respiratory specimens (throat swab and nasal wash) among Air Force trainees presenting for care of ARI. Results. From June 2008 to August 2013, 2660 trainees enrolled and were tested for selected respiratory pathogens. Post-vaccine introduction (VI), reported systemic symptoms were less frequent, including fever (38% vs 94%) and myalgia (37% vs 67%; P < .01). Median temperature and heart rate decreased (98.4 vs 101.3°F, 81 vs 96 beats per minute; P < .01). Ad detection decreased for all Ad (3% vs 68%), Ad4 (1% vs 70%), 7 (0% vs 8%), 14 (0% vs 5%), and 3 (0.1% vs 2%); P < .01). Rhinovirus and cases with no pathogen identified increased in frequency (35% vs 18%, 51% vs 14%; P < .01). Conclusions. Acute respiratory illness in military trainees post-VI is associated with decreased severity of systemic symptoms and reduced fever and heart rate. Marked reductions in frequency of Ad serotypes are seen, including those in the vaccine, with no serotype shift. However, detection of several other respiratory pathogens, most notably rhinovirus, is observed in increasing proportions, and a majority are now undiagnosed clinical syndromes.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Introduction Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a prevalent metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia of varying degrees. Genetic and lifestyle variations are known to influence the onset and severity of T2DM. Among the genetic variations reported to confer susceptibility to the disease are certain single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Here, we report the analysis of 18 such SNPs in a military community cohort of 716 subjects, comprising 477 diabetic and 239 control subjects. The population studied included active-duty military personnel, veterans, and their families. The SNPs analyzed in this work occur in nine different genes, comprising six interleukin (IL) genes (IL1A, IL1B, IL4, IL6, IL10, and IL18), fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) gene, and cannabinoid receptors 1 and 2 genes (CNR1, CNR2). The products of these genes are players in different conditions, including inflammation, a process linked with diabetes. Materials and Methods The T2DM and control (no diabetes) DNA samples were acquired from an archived sample repository (Center for Advanced Molecular Detection, 59th Medical Wing, U.S. Air Force, Joint Base San Antonio [JBSA]-Lackland, TX). The blood samples had been previously collected from gender- and race-mixed cohorts under a protocol approved by the 59th Medical Wing Institutional Review Board. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping was done by real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) using TaqMan assay reagents. The statistical analysis software 9.3 (SAS 9.3) was used for statistical analyses to reveal associations between the SNP genotypes and T2DM. Results Out of the 18 SNPs analyzed, six showed statistically significant association with T2DM in the overall cohort (P < .05). The odds ratio for these associations varied from 1.57 to 3.16. The rs16944 T/T homozygous genotype (IL1B) showed the strongest association with T2DM, with P = .005. In the White cohort, five of these six SNPs and one other, rs806368 (cannabinoid receptor 1), associate with T2DM. However, the gender-specific analysis of the White cohort revealed only two SNP associations with T2DM in the female cohort, rs16944 (IL1B) and rs2295632 (FAAH), both also showing association in the overall mixed cohort. Likewise, four SNPs showed T2DM association in the White male cohort, with rs187238 (IL18) being uniquely significant in this group. Conclusions The IL1B SNP rs16944 showed consistent statistically significant association with T2DM and therefore is likely a promising biomarker for T2DM. We note, however, that this association in a generic sense may be with the inflammatory process that accompanies T2DM and not per se with T2DM.
