Abstract:

To the Editor.— A recent increase in phenytoin (PHT) toxicity in children prompted us to investigate prescribing practices of pediatricians in Long Island, NY. Questionnaires, consisting of 18 questions regarding the use, kinetics, and side effects of PHT, were sent to 603 pediatricians. There were 97 respondents (16%). Of the respondents, 29% originally prescribed PHT themselves (n = 76 = number who responded to question). The mean number of children treated per month was 2.3 (range 1 to 12).

Abstract:

P159 Background: Population-based data on the incidence of brain AVM hemorrhage is scarce. We studied detection rates of brain AVM and AVM hemorrhage in a defined population. Methods: The New York islands (Manhattan, Staten Island, and Long Island) are a ZIP-code defined area comprising a 8,898,000 population. In a retrospective investigation, major NY islands hospital centers retrieved the number of patients who lived in the study area and were discharged with a diagnosis of brain AVM between 1996 and 1999. Starting March 15, 2000, all major NY islands hospitals prospectively reported data on consecutive NY islands patients with a diagnosis of brain AVM and whether or not the patient had suffered AVM hemorrhage. Referral patients living outside the study area were excluded from the sample. Results: The retrospective detection rate of brain AVMs in patients living in the study area (Table 1) was estimated to be 1.2/100,000 person-years (95% CI:1.1–1.4). As of July 14, 2000, 37 prospective AVM patients were encountered leading to a calculated AVM detection rate of 1.25/100,000 pers-yrs (95% CI: 0.9–1.7) with an estimated incidence for first-ever AVM hemorrhage (n=6) of 0.2/100,000 pers-yrs (95% CI:0.1 to 0.5). The prevalence of AVM hemorrhage (n=14) was 0.5/100,000 pers-yrs (95% CI:0.3 to 0.8). Conclusions: Our preliminary data suggest similar prospective and retrospective AVM detection rates. More than one third of AVM patients may suffer intracranial hemorrhage.

Abstract:

Abstract Efficacy of selected turf insecticides was evaluated against Oriental/Asiatic garden beetle grub on Canadian hemlock trees growing in a commercial nursery. Experimental design consisted of treating 4 adjacent rows (ca 13.7 m) with ca 12 trees/row. Three check rows were established between treatments. All materials were liquids, premeasured in the laboratory, and applied with 3 gal of water per row through a watering can on 14 Aug. Materials were applied to the base of all trees. At treatment time the following environmental and soil conditions existed: air temperature, 83°F; soil temperature (1 inch), 79°F, (3 inch) 78°F; soil type, sandy loam; soil moisture, 1.11 (w/d); water pH, 5.7; and sunny. On 23 Sep, five trees were randomly selected from each of the center 2 rows/treatment. Trees from the center row were randomly selected for the control. Trees were dug up as if to be shipped. The soil on the roots and within a 6-inch radius was screened through a US Standard Sieve Series #6 wire mesh screen. Species identifications were determined in the laboratory.

Abstract:

Shoreface-connected ridges (SFCR) are series of ridges and troughs obliquely oriented towards the shore in the inner-continental shelf. They exist sporadically from Long Island to Florida on the North American Atlantic Shelf with maximum expression on the Delmarva peninsula (Swift et al., 1978), including the western half of Fire Island, NY. The long-term historic shoreline record of Fire Island (e.g., Allen and LaBash, 1997) shows persistent undulations in shoreline shape at an alongshore scale similar to the alongshore scale of the ridges. These ridges and troughs are spaced approximately every 2 to 3 km in the alongshore and occupy a total length about 14 km in the cross-shore direction with an average crest to trough height of 2 m.

Abstract:

Abstract Six insecticides were applied to a rough in Eisenhower Park, LI, NY on Aug 19 for control of a mixed population Oriental/Japanese/Asiatic Garden beetle grubs. The rough consisted of annual bluegrass (20%), Kentucky bluegrass (30%), bentgrass (10%), and broadleaf weeds (40%). The experimental design was a RGB with 4 replications. Individual plots were 10 ft × 10 ft. Thatch accumulation was ca. 0.25 inch compressed between the fingers. Granular materials were applied with a precalibrated Gandy 2.5 spreader. Liquid materials were premeasured in the laboratory and applied with 3 gal of water through a watering an All liquid applications were made in 2 directions within each plot. At treatment time, the following environmental and soil conditions existed: air temperature, 80°F; soil temperature (1 inch), 75°F; soil type, gravelly loam; soil pH, 7.1; water pH 9.2; and soil moisture, 18.9%. Posttreatment couts were taken 35 days later (Sept 24) by cutting a 1 × 10-ft strip lengthwise through each plot with a mechanical sod cutter (2.25 inch) and examining the sod and underlying soil for grubs. Species identifications were determined in the laboratory.

Abstract Three insecticides were applied to a rough in Hempstead, LI, NY on 23 Apr for control of a mixed population Oriental/Japanese grubs. The rough consisted of annual bluegrass (40%), perennial bluegrass (40%), and bentgrass (20%). The experimental design was a RCB with 4 replications. Individual plots were 10 ft x 10 ft. Thatch accumulation was ca 0.5 inch compressed between the fingers. Granular materials were applied with a precalibrated Gandy 2.5 spreader. Liquid materials were premeasured in the laboratory and applied with 3 gal of water through a watering can. All liquid applications were made in 2 directions within each plot. At treatment time the following environmental and soil conditions existed: air temperature, 53°F; soil temperature (1 inch), 49°F; soil type, sandy loam; soil pH, 4.4; soil moisture, 1.65 (w/ d); and it was raining. It rained 0.2 inches in the 24 h posttreatment. Posttreatment counts were taken 36 days later (29 May) by cutting a 1 x 10-ft strip lengthwise through each plot with a mechanical soil cutter (2.25 inch) and examining the sod and underlying soil for grubs. Species identifications were determined in the laboratory. Three ft2 samples were taken from each replicate, and mean surviving grubs determined per ft2.

Abstract:

Abstract Pesticide resistance in medically significant disease vectors can negatively impact the efficacy of control efforts. Resistance research on ticks has focused primarily on species of veterinary significance that experience relatively high degrees of control pressure. Resistance in tick vectors of medical significance has received little attention, in part because area-wide pesticide applications are not used to control these generalist tick species. One of the few effective methods currently used for area-wide control of medically important ticks, including Ixodes scapularis Say (Acari: Ixodidae), is deployment of 4-poster devices. Deer self-apply a topical acaricide (permethrin) while feeding on corn from the devices. A 4-poster program using permethrin has been deployed on Shelter Island, NY to control I. scapularis populations since 2008. We collected engorged female ticks from deer in this management area and a location in the Mid-Hudson River Valley, NY without area-wide tick control. Larvae were reared from egg masses and their susceptibility to permethrin was tested. Larvae originating from a long-term laboratory colony were used as a susceptible baseline for comparison. Compared against the laboratory colony, resistance ratios at LC-50 for Shelter Island and Hudson Valley I. scapularis were 1.87 and 1.51, respectively. The susceptibilities of the field populations to permethrin were significantly lower than that of the colony ticks. We provide the first data using the larval packet test to establish baseline susceptibility for I. scapularis to permethrin along with information relevant to understanding resistance emergence in tick populations under sustained control pressure from 4-poster devices.

Abstract:

Chinese silvergrass (Miscanthus sinensis) is native to East Asia and South Africa and has been grown as an ornamental in the United States for over 100 years. Chinese silvergrass is on the invasive species list for 12 states in the United States and is regulated for sale in New York state. It is often found along roadsides in middle-Atlantic states and Long Island, NY. In 2019 and 2020, we sowed chinese silvergrass seed harvested in Fall 2002 and Spring 2003 from several locations in North Carolina where it had naturalized and from the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, Chaska, MN. The seed had been stored in a seed storage vault (4 °C) from 2002 to 2020. Germination in 2003 showed variation between 53% to 95% from 19 different individual plants. This same seed when resown in 2019 and 2020 had much lower germination that could be divided into three categories: no germination (five plants), germination of 1% or less (seven plants), and germination of more than 2% (seven plants). Results from this study show that seed viability may be a long-term problem in locations where chinese silvergrass has naturalized.

Abstract:

Background New York City and Long Island, NY were early foci of the COVID-19 epidemic in the US. The effects of COVID-19 on different sub-populations, and its key epidemiologic parameters remain unknown or highly uncertain. We investigated the epidemiology of COVID-19 from January to August of 2020 in an established academic monitoring cohort of N = 9,697 middle-aged World Trade Center responders residing in Long Island, NY. Methods A seroprevalence survey and a series of cross-sectional surveys were nested in a prospective cohort study. Measures included IgG antibody testing, SARS-CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing, review of electronic medical records, and surveys of symptoms. Correlates of infection were analyzed with multivariable logistic regression. Results The cohort was predominantly men in their mid-fifties; 6,597 cohort members were successfully contacted (68%); 1,042 (11%) individuals participated in the seroprevalence survey; and 369 individuals (5.6% of 6,597 study participants) underwent PCR testing. The estimated standardized cumulative incidence was 21.9% (95%CI: 20.1–23.9%), the asymptomatic proportion was 16.4% (36/219; 95%CI: 11.8–22.0%), the case hospitalization ratio was 9.4% (36/385; 95%CI: 6.6–12.7%), the case fatality ratio was 1.8% (7/385; 95%CI: 0.7–3.7%), and the hospitalization fatality ratio was 8.3% (3/36; 95%CI: 1.8–22.5%). Confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with younger age, race/ethnicity, and being currently employed. Conclusions The results of the present study suggest a high cumulative incidence of SARS-CoV-2 among WTC responders in the spring and summer of 2020 and contribute to narrowing the plausible range of the proportion of infections that exhibit no symptoms. An increased risk of infection among younger employed individuals is likely to reflect a higher probability of exposure to the virus, and the racial disparities in the infection risk warrant further investigation.

Abstract:

Experiments were conducted at Freeville, NY and Riverhead, NY with 0-280 kg/ha of N banded. Tissue samples (both petioles and whole leaves) were taken 5 times starting 32 days from planting. There was a marked increase in yield and specific gravity from the first 112 kg/ha of N and in most cases from an additional 56 kg/ha of N. Both petiole and whole leaf nitrate were sensitive to changes in fertilizer rate that resulted in yield changes. We were encouraged by results obtained with “quick” tests on fresh sap since the pattern paralleled that obtained with traditional lab analysis of dried ground petioles. Although nitrate concentrations did not vary markedly across the varieties used there were substantial differences due to location even when the yield response curve was similar. Rate of N for rate of N, the Freeville samples were substantially higher in nitrate than those from Long Island, except at the 0 N rate, suggesting that the difference is not due to soil residual N.

Abstract:

Abstract Nine insecticides were applied to a rough at the Huntington Country Club, Long Island, NY on 3 Sep for control of a mixed population of Japanese beetle, Oriental beetle, and northerr masked chafer grubs. The rough consisted of Kentucky bluegrass (30%), annual bluegrass (35%), bentgrass (20%), and broadleaf weeds (15%). Thatch wa;. minimal within the test plot (<.25 in.). The experimental design was RCB with 4 replications. Individual plots were 10 ft by 10 ft. Granular materials were applied with a precalibrated Gandy 2.5 spreader. Liquid materials were premeasured in the laboratory and applied with 11.4 liters (3 gal) of water through a watering can. All liquid applications were made in 2 directions within each plot. At treatment time the following environmental conditions existed: aii temp, 64°F; soil temp (3 inch), 67°F; soil pH, 5.22; water pH, 6.28; soil moisture, 15%. Approximately 0.2 inch of rain fell during and after insecticide application, and ca. 0.5 inch of water was applied through sprinklers the day of application. Posttreatment counts were taken 60 days later (23 Oct) by cutting a 1 ft by 10 ft strip (2.25 inches deep) lengthwise through each plot with a mechanical sod cutter and examining the sod and underlying soil for grubs. Three 1-ft2 samples of sod were examined in each plot and the no. of surviving grubs were counted. Species identification were made in the field. At this time Japanese beetles were predominantly third instars, with some second instars; Oriental beetle and northern masked chafer grubs were all third instars.

Abstract:

This paper discusses issues encountered in developing a retrofit project for a roadway in a densely developed, commercialized area. The project was initiated, directed, and funded by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT). Numerous major shopping centers and a high volume of through traffic produce congestion and affect safety. NY-27, also known as Sunrise Highway, is a principal arterial in suburban Long Island. The conditions along NY-27 reflect what happens when development approvals are granted by local land use agencies without sufficient consideration of whether the transportation system can accommodate the associated traffic. NYSDOT, in this case, was put in the position of attempting to implement a retrofit project to mitigate the traffic and safety conditions. The proximity of shopping center driveways to each other and to nearby intersections results in weaving movements and heavy turning-movement volumes that block the through travel lanes and cause overlapping conflicts. The significant traffic congestion and high accident rate reflect the problems caused by inadequate access spacing and need for improved access management. The improvement options identified represented a wide range of access management strategies and configurations. The options were screened and modified to reflect community desires and business concerns. This paper reviews operational and safety problems, identifies a theoretical access configuration along the NY-27 corridor that could mitigate these problems, and reviews the alternative that was approved and is being progressed. The approved alternative reflects real-world considerations that affect a retrofit project.

Abstract:

Abstract Babesiosis was first reported in NY in 1975. 560 cases were reported from 1986–2001 in NY, mostly from Long island. Human babesiosis is a tick- borne disease caused by B.microti in the US. Most of the cases occur between May and August in the north eastern states. The risk factors for severe disease include older age, asplenia, immunocompromised state. As the same tick is the vector for lyme disease and ehrlichiosis, co-infection can occur. In this abstract we report ten cases of babesiosis encountered in hematology consultation since 2005, with 5 cases occurring this year. The patients’ ages ranged between 36–84 yrs. Three patients had neither travel history nor tick bite /outdoor activity. Three patients were immunocompromised (AML, CLL, HIV). Most common presentations were malaise, nausea, and high fever. Two patients had splenomegaly. Six patients had hyperbilirubinemia, anemia and thrombocytopenia. Three patients were also positive for lyme disease. One patient developed splenic rupture. All the patients recovered after treatment with atovoquone and azithromycin. This series of case reports emphasizes the varied atypical presentations of babesioisis including uncommon season of occurrence, absence of a rash or tickbite history, co-existing infection with Lyme disease and complications including splenic rupture.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Suffolk County reports to the Department of Health the highest absolute number of cases of tick-borne diseases (TBD) for NY State. While Lyme disease and Babesiosis are the most common TBD in this county with more than 600 and 100 cases reported every year, respectively; two other TBD, HME (due to Ehrlichia chaffeensis) and HGA (due to Anaplasma phagocytophilum) are also commonly reported in this county (63 and 37 every year, respectively). There is limited data directly comparing both diseases on acute presentation; the aim of this study was to compare the clinical features, laboratory findings and complications of HME and HGA in the epicenter of TBD in NY State. Methods A retrospective study was designed to collect cases with the diagnosis of HME and HGA by using ICD9 or ICD10 codes from 2013 to 2018 at Stony Brook Medicine. Inclusion criteria were patients 18 years or older who had a positive PCR in blood for E. chaffeensis or A. phagocytophilum. Demographics, clinical features, laboratory results, and complications were extracted from patient charts. We used the chi-square test to compare the proportion of symptoms and a two-tailed unpaired student T-test to compare laboratory values. Results A total of 40 cases of HME (mean age 67 ± 13) and 27 with HGA (mean age 63 ± 12) met inclusion criteria. Only approximately 50% of cases had a documented history of tick exposure. Clinical presentations were similar in terms of frequency of fever, headache, arthralgia, and myalgia. In contrast, hypotension, confusion, and rash were more common in HME although only the latter was significantly more common. HME patients had significantly greater degrees of leukopenia and thrombocytopenia and elevated AST levels. The majority of patients with HME and HGA were hospitalized >1 day for management of their acute illness (HME, 30/40 and HGA 17/27). Several patients with HME had gastrointestinal (GI) complications including 3 with acute acalculous cholecystitis, 1 with duodenitis, and 1 with acute colitis; 1 patient with HGA had perforated diverticulitis. Conclusion Patients with acute HME tend to be more ill than those with acute HGA; however, a substantial proportion of both groups require hospitalization. GI complications were more commonly seen in HME (12.5%) than HGA (3.7%) which deserves further investigation. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

Abstract:

The state of New York has ambitious mandates for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing renewable energy generation. Solar energy will play an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the electric energy sector. Concerns over solar installations’ impacts to host communities and the environment have led to growing conflicts over solar energy siting on Long Island, in other parts of New York, and throughout the US. Understanding community members’ perspectives is critical for reducing conflict. Solar energy can be deployed more quickly and at lower cost if projects are structured to address the concerns and meet the needs of the community. This paper presents the results of a survey of residential utility ratepayers that examined their perceptions, preferences, and priorities concerning mid- to large-scale solar development on Long Island (250 kW and larger). The survey asked respondents to consider specific installation types, financial models, and other aspects of solar development. Results indicate that respondents were overwhelmingly supportive of mid- to large-scale solar development in their communities. The most highly supported development types were solar systems on rooftops and solar systems that are co-located with other land uses (mixed use) at a particular site, such as parking canopies, landfills, or integration with agriculture. The most highly supported financial models included privately funded projects by local developers and community solar projects. The largest concern about solar development expressed by respondents did not involve tree removal or visibility (as initially hypothesized to be the most significant considerations) but rather the fairness of the distribution of economic benefits associated with solar development. This paper provides concrete insight into particular models of solar development that may invoke less conflict and more community support.

Abstract:

Interest in offshore wind power is rapidly developing in the United States. Estimates of the potential offshore wind resource in U.S. waters exceed 900 GW. Thus, there is a need for tools to accurately evaluate and depict wind power availability. This necessitates observation and modeling strategies that focus on describing the physical and dynamical processes that operate within and just above the marine atmospheric boundary layer over a spectrum of spatial and temporal scales. Here, we discuss the data assimilation and modeling methods used to characterize the offshore wind environment through examples of resource mapping, observational studies, and model simulations. We present high resolution (200 m) offshore wind resource maps for New England, Texas, Louisiana, and the Great Lakes. Finally, we discuss the results of a recent intensive field measurement campaign in the waters south of Long Island, NY, and a modeling analysis and verification study of the coastal atmospheric regime.

Abstract:

Abstract Transplants were set in the field 8 May, in organic muck soil in Pine Island, NY. Treatments were arranged in 1-row plots 40 ft long, replicated 4 times in a randomized block design. Foliar insecticide sprays were applied over the tops of plants with a CO2 pressurized back-pack sprayer dispensing 33 gal/acre @ 37 psi, @ 2 mph. A single application was made 17 Jul after a pre-treatment thrips infestation count, and evaluated at 2 day and 6 day posttreatnient intervals. Evaluations consisted of harvesting 5 random plants/treatment-replicate, dissecting plants, and the 5 youngest leaves were examined under binocular microscope for the number of live adult and nymphal thrips. Thrips reduction was determined by the formula provided in table. At the 2 day posttreatnient count, a number of thrips (ca. 60%) had drowned due to heavy rainfall the day after application, necessitating correction of the data for check mortality—which was done for both sampling intervals by a formula given in table.

Abstract:

Supplement use was surveyed in a convenience sample of persons who exercised regularly at a Long Island, NY gym. Participants, age at least 18 y, completed anonymous questionnaires. A majority (84.7%) took supplements. Many consumed multivitamin/minerals (MVM; 45%), protein shakes/bars (PRO; 42.3%), vitamin C (34.7%), and vitamin E (VE; 23.4%) at least 5 times per wk. Other dietary supplements were used less frequently or by fewer participants. Ephedra was consumed by 28% at least once per wk. Choices and reasons for dietary supplement use varied with age of the participant. More of the oldest consumed MVM or VE, while those 45 y or younger chose PRO. Those younger than 30 consumed creatine more frequently. The oldest participants took supplements to prevent future illness, while others took supplements to build muscle. The reason for committing to an exercise program influenced supplement use. Bodybuilders more frequently consumed PRO, creatine, and ephedra compared to those exercising for health reasons.

Abstract:

In the eastern United States, Monilinia laxa (Aderh. & Ruhl.) Honey has only been reported on tart cherry in New York (NY) (1). As a result of considerable rain in May of 2009 and 2011, an ornamental planting of Kwanzan cherries in Middletown, Rhode Island (RI), a planting of sweet cherry cvs. Ulster, Hedelfingen, Sam, and Lapins in Lanesboro, Massachusetts (MA), and plantings of apricot cvs. Harcot and Hargrande in Albion, Aurora, and Geneva, NY, and Harogem in Lanesboro, MA developed severe shoot blight (>15 to 100% of first-year shoots). Blighted shoots were wilted with the blight encompassing the distal end and often extending into second-year tissue with a distinct sunken margin. Leaves on symptomatic shoots had flushed, but were blighted and light brown. Blossom spurs were often blighted and gummosis was frequently observed at the base. In these same years, sweet cherry cv. Black Gold in Walworth, NY and plum cv. Stanley in Olcott, NY developed severe fruit rot (35 to 70% incidence). Plantings suffering from fruit rot had fruit lesions that began as pale brown, soft lesions with indiscriminant margins that covered 15 to 85% of the fruit surface area. Many blighted spurs, shoot tissues, and infected fruit were sporulating with tan-to-buff colored conidia produced in chains. From each planting with shoot blight, shoot tips were removed for pathogen isolation. Sections of symptomatic shoots (5 cm long) were surface sterilized in 0.6% NaOCl for 1 min and rinsed in sterile dH20. From plantings displaying blighted spurs or fruit rot, isolation was attempted directly from sporulating tissue. Cross sections of sterilized shoot tissue (3 mm thick) or tufts of sporulation from fruit and spurs were placed on potato dextrose agar amended with 50 μg/ml of streptomycin sulfate. After incubation at 24°C for 5 days, colonies with lobed margins, commonly described for M. laxa (4), were obtained. Several colonies resembling M. fructicola were isolated from all locations, but the majority of isolates from spurs and shoots resembled M. laxa. Conidia from both colony morphotypes were lemon shaped, but as expected, those from putative M. laxa isolates were smaller (10.75 × 12.0 μm) compared with those from putative M. fructicola isolates (15.75 × 18.25 μm) (4). Confirmation of M. laxa was further achieved by PCR amplification of the β-tubulin gene using M. laxa-specific primers as previously described (3). Pathogenicity of M. laxa isolates was proven by inoculating fruit of the stone fruit crop from which they were isolated as previously described (2). Fruit inoculated with M. laxa developed brown, soft sporulating lesions identical to the original observations, while those inoculated with water remained healthy. M. laxa was reisolated from symptomatic shoots and spurs, but not from water-inoculated tissues. The presence of M. laxa has been reported on tart cherries in NY (1), but to our knowledge, this is the first instance of economically devastating shoot blight on apricot in NY and MA, ornamental cherry in RI, and sweet cherry in MA and fruit rot on sweet cherry and plum in NY caused by M. laxa. In wet seasons, stone fruit growers may need to revise their chemical management programs to better prepare for M. laxa epidemics on several stone fruit species. References: (1) K. D. Cox and S. M.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Chagas Disease (CD), a neglected tropical disease of Latin America (LA) is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, transmitted by the triatomine insect (kissing bug), and known to cause cardiomyopathy (CMP), megacolon or achalasia. Despite the population of Latin Americans, by birth or descent, in Long Island (LI), New York (NY) approximating 20%, information regarding prevalence of CD in this region is scarce. This study aims to determine the seroprevalence and risk factors for T. cruzi infection among hispanics in LI. Methods This is a cross-sectional study. Inclusion criteria included, birth or living in LA for > 3 years, mother born or lived in LA for ≥3 years, and residency in Suffolk County, LI. Patients were screened by Chagas Detect™ Plus Rapid Test (immunochromatographic strip assay for the qualitative detection of human IgG antibodies to T. cruzi; InBios Rapid test). Seropositivity was confirmed by enzyme immune assay and immunoblot. Participants answered a questionnaire regarding demographics and risk factors of CD. Results A total of 121 subjects (55.4% male) were tested from February 2018 to February 2020. Twelve were seropositive confirmed cases (9.9%; 66.7% male), with 9 cases from El Salvador (75%, p=0.06). Factors associated with infection were living in a palm house (OR=14.1, CI 2.7-74.7), history of triatomine bite (OR=9.5 CI=1.75–51.7), living in a house with triatomine (OR= 9.02, CI=1.9 – 42.8), and having relatives diagnosed with Chagas (OR= 7.6, CI=1.4 – 39.2). T. cruzi infected were most likely to have donated blood (OR=9.4, 95% CI=2.3–3.6). Two cases (16.6%) had CMP and did not qualify for treatment. One had gastrointestinal disease (8.3%). Eight started treatment with benznidazole. Conclusion In conclusion, we found a prevalence of 9.9% of T. cruzi infection in this high-risk population of LI. Two cases were diagnosed with CMP during this screening study highlighting that there are unrecognized cases of CD in this region where 20% are Hispanics. Such high prevalence and unrecognized disease, highlights the importance of raising awareness among providers of early screening and to prevent potential deadly outcomes.

Abstract Mathieson, A. C., Pederson, J. R., Neefus, C. D., Dawes, C. J., and Bray, T. L. 2008. Multiple assessments of introduced seaweeds in the Northwest Atlantic. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 65: 730–741. Historical and recent floristic studies, rapid assessment surveys, and molecular investigations were used to evaluate the occurrence of 20 seaweeds introduced to the Northwest Atlantic, including 2 green, 4 brown, and 14 red algae. Based on floristic comparisons of Mount Desert Island and Casco Bay, ME, from the late 1800s to the early 1900s, some initial records of seaweed introductions were documented, as well as increased numbers of non-indigenous taxa. Detailed floristic studies in southern ME and NH from the mid-1960s to 2007 have revealed expansive patterns for two Asiatic taxa (Codium fragile subsp. tomentosoides and Neosiphonia harveyi). Rapid assessment surveys conducted between the Bay of Fundy and Long Island, NY, during four summers (2002, 2004, 2005, and 2007) revealed seven introduced species and a recent expansion of the Asiatic red alga Grateloupia turuturu into the Gulf of Maine. Molecular evaluations confirmed the presence of several cryptic introduced species of Porphyra from Asia. A synopsis of the dates of introduction, probable vectors, and sources of these 20 introduced taxa in the Northwest Atlantic is given, as well as comparisons of numbers of non-indigenous taxa from other geographies.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine health issues among Liberian refugees living in Staten Island and access potential barriers to accessing healthcare. Design/methodology/approach – Qualitative methods including interviews (n=68) with West African immigrants, predominantly Liberian refugees, and long-term ethnography were employed to elicit West Africans’ views on health, acculturation, and access to service providers. Framework analysis was employed to analyze the data thematically. Findings – Chronic health diseases, depression, isolation, and inadequate access to healthcare were the main concerns of the population studied. The findings are in contrast to the public health experts’ concentration on infectious diseases. Practical implications – The barriers to access proper healthcare have implications for healthcare providers and government institutions and information about these barriers can help them to refocus their health efforts to better address the needs of West African refugees. Originality/value – Africans are among the newest immigrants in the USA and are considerably understudied compared to other groups such as Latin Americans and Asians. Additionally, there is an abundance research about refugees’ health status when they first arrive in the USA, but there is little data on their health after their resettlement.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME) is a tick-borne disease caused by Ehrlichia chafeensis in the northeast United States. Suffolk County, New York has the highest amount of HME cases in NY (176 from 2010 to 2014). Our aim is to identify risk factors for HME and compare clinical presentation and laboratory findings of young vs. older adults. Methods A retrospective chart review from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2017 was performed on all patients ≥18 years who presented to the ER at Stony Brook University Hospital (SBUH) or Stony Brook Southampton Hospital (SBSH) with (i) ICD-9 code 082.4 or ICD-10 code A77.40 and (ii) a positive E. Chafeensis PCR. Data were collected on demographics, clinical presentation, and laboratory results. Results Twenty-seven cases of HME were found and separated into Group 1 (G1, n = 10) or Group 2 (G2, n = 17) based on age (Table 1). G1 had a significantly higher chance of being Hispanic than G2. Twenty-four of the 27 patients (89%) were hospitalized with an average length of stay of 3.4 days (range 1–14 days).The only significant difference in clinical presentation was that G1 was more likely to have myalgia (P = 0.02). 40% or more of patients in both groups presented with an acute kidney injury and the average length of hospital stay in days was 4.0 ± 2.9 and 3.2 ± 3.1 for G1 and G2, respectively. The number of cases overall have increased 6.0% per year between 2014 and 2017. Thrombocytopenia presented in all cases. Conclusion. HME is prevalent in Suffolk County. Clinical presentation and laboratory findings were largely similar between the two groups, except the younger population more often presented with myalgia. A risk factor in this study was to be young and Hispanic, likely due to occupational exposure. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

Abstract:

Abstract To investigate the concentrations, sources, and temporal variations of atmospheric black carbon (BC) in the summer Arctic, routine ground-level observations of BC by optical absorption were made in the summer from 2005 to 2008 at the Chinese Arctic “Yellow River” Station (78°55′N, 11°56′E) at Ny-Ålesund on the island of Spitsbergen in the Svalbard Archipelago. Methods of the ensemble empirical-mode decomposition analysis and back-trajectory analysis were employed to assess temporal variation embedded in the BC datasets and airmass transport patterns. The 10th-percentile and median values of BC concentrations were 7.2 and 14.6 ng m−3, respectively, and hourly average BC concentrations ranged from 2.5 to 54.6 ng m−3. A gradual increase was found by 4 ng m−3 a−1. This increase was not seen in the Zeppelin Station and it seemed to contrast with the prevalent conception of generally decreasing BC concentration since 1989 in the Arctic. Factors responsible for this increase such as changes in emissions and atmospheric transport were taken into consideration. The result indicated that BC from local emissions was mostly responsible for the observed increase from 2005 to 2008. BC temporal variation in the summer was controlled by the atmospheric circulation, which presented a significant 6–14-day variation and coherent with 1–3- and 2–5-day and longer cycle variation. Although the atmospheric circulation changes from 2005 to 2008, there was not a marked trend in long-range transportation of BC. This study suggested that local emissions might have significant implication for the regional radiative energy balance at Ny-Ålesund.

Abstract:

Many marine fish in polar waters produce antifreeze proteins (AFPs) to depress their serum freezing point to below that of seawater. Winter flounder from the east coast of North America contain multiple AFP gene copies organized both as tandem repeats and as linked but irregularly spaced genes, with the tandemly repeated genes encoding the bulk of the circulating AFPs. We report here on AFP gene organization in winter flounder from nine locations ranging from Long Island, NY to Conception Bay, Nfld. There are clear differences in AFP gene copy number and arrangement between some of the populations. The greatest variation is seen in the size of the tandem component in fish from the warmer, deeper locations. This contrasts to the conservation of organization in the dispersed, β-tubulin multigene family used for comparative purposes. We suggest that variation in AFP gene family size and organization reflects a relaxation of selection in some geographical areas in the postglacial period.Key words: gene dosage, multigene family, tandem repeats, intrapopulation variation, glaciation.
