    Abstract Purpose: To determine whether there was a relationship between sleep position and symptomatic partial- and full-thickness rotator cuff tears.
    Methods: A consecutive series of patients that met the inclusion/exclusion criteria (n = 58) were in seen in clinic between July 2019 and December 2019. All of these individuals had a significant partial-thickness (> 50%) or full-thickness rotator cuff tear determined by either ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, or both. All patients in this series either had an insidious onset of shoulder pain or their symptoms were related to the basic wear and tear of daily activities. Traumatic rotator cuff tears (those associated with a significant traumatic event such as shoulder instability, motor vehicle accidents, sports related injuries, etc.) were excluded. Previous shoulder surgery, recurrent rotator cuff tears, and worker's compensation cases also were excluded from this series. As part of the history-taking process, the patients were asked what was their preferred sleeping position-side sleeper, back sleeper, or stomach sleeper. A χ
    Results: Of the 58 subjects, 52 of the patients were side sleepers, 4 were stomach sleepers, 1 was a back sleeper, and 1 preferred all 3 positions. Statistical analysis, using the χ
    Conclusions: In our study, there appeared to be a relationship between the preference of being a side sleeper and the presence of a rotator cuff tear.
    Level of evidence: Level IV, prognostic case series.

    Abstract Epithelial cells line mucosal surfaces such as in the gingival crevice and provide a barrier to the ingress of colonizing microorganisms. However, epithelial cells are more than a passive barrier to microbial intrusion, and rather constitute an interactive interface with colonizing organisms which senses the composition of the microbiome and communicates this information to the underlying cells of the innate immune system. Microorganisms, for their part, have devised means to manipulate host cell signal transduction pathways to favor their colonization and survival. Study of this field, which has become known as cellular microbiology, has revealed much about epithelial cell physiology, bacterial colonization and pathogenic strategies, and innate host responses.

    Abstract Objective: To assess the impact of the dollar value of federal low-income housing assistance on adult health outcomes and whether this impact varies across housing assistance programs.
    Data sources: We use the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) from 1999 to 2016 linked with administrative records from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) tracking receipt of low-income housing assistance from 1999 to 2017.
    Design: We use two approaches to assess the impact of the value of housing assistance among HUD housing assistance recipients on outcomes capturing overall health and mental health, chronic and acute health conditions, health care hardship, and food insecurity. First, we use multivariable regression models that adjust for a wide array of possible confounders. Second, we use an instrumental variable approach in which the county-level supply of HUD housing serves as an instrument for the value of housing assistance.
    Data collection/extraction methods: Our sample includes all 12,031 adult HUD linkage-eligible NHIS respondents who were currently in HUD housing at the time of their NHIS interview.
    Principal findings: We find the most consistent associations between the value of housing assistance and measures of health care hardship, a relationship that is most robust for Housing Choice Voucher recipients, where we find a $100 increase in the value of housing assistance is associated with a 6.2 percentage point decrease in probability of needing but not being able to afford medical care. We find little evidence that the value of housing assistance impacts overall health or chronic health outcomes.
    Conclusions: The relationship between the value of housing assistance and health likely operates via an income effect, wherein receipt of a more valuable benefit frees up resources to spend on needed care. Policy changes to increase the value of housing assistance may have tangible health benefits for tenants receiving housing assistance.

    Abstract Objective: This article examined whether participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) produced changes to adult and child health and health care utilisation during a period of economic recession.
    Design: Instrumental variables analysis relying on variation in state SNAP policies to isolate exogenous variation in household SNAP participation.
    Setting: Nationally representative data on child and adult health from the 2008 to 2013 National Health Interview Survey.
    Participants: Participants were 92 237 adults and 45 469 children who were either eligible for SNAP based on household income and state eligibility rules or were low income but not eligible for SNAP benefits.
    Results: For adults, SNAP participation increased the probability of reporting very good or excellent health, and for both adults and children, reduced needing but having to go without dental care or eyeglasses. The size of these benefits was especially pronounced for children. However, SNAP participation increased the probability of needing but not being able to afford prescription medicine, and increased psychological distress for adults and behavioural problems for children under age 10.
    Conclusions: SNAP's benefits for adult health and improved access to dental and vision care for adults and children suggest benefits from the program's expansions during the current COVID-induced crisis. Predicted negative effects of SNAP participation suggest the need for attention to program and benefit structure to avoid harm and the need for continued research to explore the causal effects of program participation.

    Abstract Purpose: Respiratory complications are common following neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS) spinal fusion. Concern exists regarding the safety to perform complicated procedures in winter months when viral respiratory illness is common. The purpose of this study was to compare perioperative outcomes in children with NMS undergoing spinal fusion during peak (November-March) or non-peak (April-October) viral season.
    Methods: The Health Care and Utilization Project (HCUP) Kids' inpatient database (KID) from 2006 to 2012 was reviewed. Children 20 years or younger who underwent spinal fusion for NMS were included. Patients were grouped by date of surgery during peak or non-peak viral season. Continuous variables were compared using t tests and categorical variables were compared using the Rao-Scott Chi-square test. Weighted logistic regression models were performed.
    Results: This study identified 5082 records, including 1711 and 3371 patients who had surgery in peak and non-peak viral seasons, respectively. Patients who had spinal fusion during peak viral season were less likely to experience respiratory failure (p = 0.0008) and did not demonstrate an increased incidence of aspiration pneumonia (p = 0.26), respiratory complication (p = 0.43), or mortality (p = 0.68). Respiratory failure was associated with younger age (p = 0.0031), the presence of a tracheostomy (p < 0.0001), and the number of chronic conditions (p < 0.0001). Higher number of chronic medical conditions (mean of 5.0) was associated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality (p < 0.0001), aspiration pneumonia (p = 0.0009), and respiratory failure (p < 0.0001).
    Conclusion: Spinal fusion for NMS during peak viral season has a lower risk of respiratory failure without an increase in mortality or other complications compared to during non-peak viral season.

    2020  Volume 29, Issue 1, Page(s) 54–64

    Abstract: ... genes may represent particularly attractive therapeutic targets for the control of P. gingivalis ...

    Abstract Proteases are critical virulence determinants of Porphyromonas gingivalis, an emerging Alzheimer's disease, cancer, and arthritis pathogen and established agent of periodontitis. Transposon sequencing has been employed to define the core essential genome of this bacterium and genes conditionally essential in multiple environments - abscess formation; epithelial colonization; and cigarette smoke toxin exposure; as well as to elucidate genes required for iron acquisition and a functional type 9 secretion system. Validated and predicted protein catabolism genes identified include a combination of established virulence factors and a larger set of seemingly more mundane proteolytic genes. The functions and relevance of genes that share essentiality in multiple disease-relevant conditions are examined. These common stress-related genes may represent particularly attractive therapeutic targets for the control of P. gingivalis infections.
