Interim U.S. Guidance for Monitoring and Movement of Persons with Potential Ebola Virus Exposure
This interim guidance has been updated by establishing a “low (but not zero) risk” category; adding a “no identifiable risk” category; modifying the recommended public health actions in the high, some, and low (but not zero) risk categories; and adding recommendations for specific groups and settings.

Strokes
Stroke is the second-leading cause of death for people aged 60 years or older worldwide. Stroke is the 4th leading cause of death and is a leading cause of serious long-term disability in the United States. Women have a higher lifetime risk for stroke than men because they live longer, on average. Women also are more likely to die from a stroke.

Considerations for Discharging Persons Under Investigation (PUI) for Ebola Virus Disease (Ebola)
The decision to discharge a patient being evaluated as a Person Under Investigation (PUI) for ebola who has not had a negative RT-PCR test for Ebola should be based on clinical and laboratory criteria and on the ability to monitor the PUI after discharge, and made by the medical providers caring for the PUI, along with the local and state health departments.

Women with Disabilities and Breast Cancer Screening
CDC, along with its partners, is working to improve mammography use among women with disabilities. Health promotion campaigns and messages about breast cancer screening that are specifically designed to include women with disabilities may reduce these disparities in mammography use.

Almost $500 Million Could be Saved Annually by Making Subsidized Housing Smoke-free
The total cost saved comprises of about $310 million in secondhand smoke-related health care, $134 million in renovation expenses, and $53 million in smoking-attributable fire losses.
