The foreign travels of Petr Il'ich Chaikovskii have never been a particular issue to scholars of his life and work. Even in such demonstrably important cases as his visits to the opening of the Bayreuth Festival and to Paris during which he heard Bizet’s Carmen for the first time, his tours—which brought him as far as New York City for the opening of Carnegie Hall—are treated perfunctorily, without objectivity, balance, or due regard for the impact his travel may have had on his music. This is not surprising, since Chaikovskii was not by profession a touring virtuoso; it is his musical composition which looms large in the biography as a whole. An experience which was called “the high point of earthly glory” the composer was destined to achieve, however, merits examination in detail. Chaikovskii himself claimed his visit to Prague in February 1888 constituted the “best and happiest days of [his] life” and brought him a “moment of absolute bliss.” An investigation of why Chaikovskii considered his stay there important is essential. Because the exploration of these questions depends on a scrutiny of Russian sources, this article will also be an investigation of how documents are used (or misused) to write history.

First Time

Using data from the cross-sectional HIV prevention Outreach for Parents and Early Adolescents (HOPE) study, we explored the impact of shelter environment, quality parenting, as well as the effects of gender and first-time shelter use on depression outcomes among 243 adolescent shelter users in New York City. Results indicate comfort in the shelter environment, and higher rates of monitoring and supervision were associated with lower rates of depression. Girls residing in shelters for the first time reported highest rates of depression. Recommendations for future interventions with this population are discussed.

Loyal Customers

New York City launched a restaurant sanitation letter grade system in 2010. We evaluate the impact of customer loyalty on restaurant revisit intentions after exposure to a sanitation grade alone, and after exposure to a sanitation grade plus narrative information about sanitation violations (e.g., presence of rats). We use a 2 (loyalty: high or low) × 4 (sanitation grade: A, B, C, or pending) between-subjects full factorial design to test the hypotheses using data from 547 participants recruited from Amazon MTurk who reside in the New York City area. Our study yields three findings. First, loyal customers exhibit higher intentions to revisit restaurants than non-loyal customers, regardless of sanitation letter grades. Second, the difference in revisit intentions between loyal and non-loyal customers is higher when sanitation grades are poorer. Finally, loyal customers are less sensitive to narrative information about sanitation violations.

10572 Background: Several reports have suggested that cancer patients are at increased risk for contracting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and suffering worse coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outcomes. However, little is known about the impact of cancer status on presentation and outcome. Here, we report on the association between cancer status and survival in hospitalized patients who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 during the height of pandemic in New York City. Methods: Of the 6,724 patients who were hospitalized at NYU Langone Health (3/16/20 - 7/31/20) and tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, 580 had either active cancer (n = 221) or a history of cancer (n = 359). Patients were classified as having active malignancy if they either received treatment within six months of their COVID-19 diagnosis or they had measurable disease documented at the time of their hospitalization. Patients were categorized as having a history of cancer if there was no evidence of measurable disease or there were no treatments administered within six months of their COVID-19 diagnosis. We compared the baseline clinicodemographic characteristics and hospital courses of the two groups, and the relationship between cancer status and the rate of admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), use of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), and all-cause mortality. Results: There was no differences between the two groups in their baseline laboratory results associated with COVID-19 infection, incidence of venous thromboembolism, or incidence of severe COVID-19. Active cancer status was not associated with the rate of ICU admission ( P = 0.307) or use of IMV ( P = 0.236), but was significantly associated with worse all-cause mortality in both univariate and multivariate analysis with ORs of 1.48 (95% CI: 1.04-2.09; P = 0.028) and 1.71 (95% CI: 1.12-2.63; P = 0.014), respectively. Conclusions: Active cancer patients had worse survival outcomes compared to patients with a history of cancer despite similar COVID-19 disease characteristics in the two groups. Our data suggest that cancer care should continue with minimal interruptions during the pandemic to bring about response and remission as soon as possible. Additionally, these findings support the growing body of evidence that malignancy portends worse COVID-19 prognosis, and demonstrate that the risk may even apply to those without active disease.

The Impact

Background: Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) are currently the single largest source of added sugar in the US diet, and consumption in New York City (NYC) remains high. Evidence suggests that a high sugar consumption increases the risk of coronary heart disease. To date, excise taxes on SSB have been implemented in several US jurisdictions. While reductions in SSB consumption have been reported in several places where the SSB tax was implemented, it is unclear what the long term health and economic impact an SSB tax could have within the demographically and socioeconomically diverse NYC. In addition, the impact of varying tax structures remains unknown. Objective: To project the cardiovascular health outcomes and cost-savings of variations on the penny-per-ounce SSB tax structure (simulating a half-penny to two-penny range) using a validated microsimulation model of cardiovascular disease. Methods: The Simulations for Health Improvement and Equity (SHINE) CVD Model was used to estimate the lifetime direct medical costs (2019 USD) and effectiveness of SSB tax from a healthcare sector perspective. Population demographics and health profiles were estimated using data from the 2013-2014 NYC Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. CVD risk factor trajectories and risk of incident CVD events were derived from six pooled prospective U.S. cohorts. Policy effects and price elasticity were derived from recent meta-analyses. SSB tax was modeled to directly affect incidence rates of CVD events and was derived from variations of the penny-per-ounce tax scheme. Costs were discounted at 3%. Results: Compared to the non-policy situation, the SHINE CVD model projected that an SSB tax would prevent 29,341 (95% CI: 11,747-46,935) coronary heart disease (CHD) events at a half penny-per-ounce rate, 37,034 (95% CI: 19,336-54,732), at one penny-per-ounce, and 68,846 CHD events (95% CI: 51,306- 86,386) at a two-pennies-per-ounce rate over the simulated lifetimes of the NYC population. Total cost savings over this time period ranged from $662 million (95% CI $584-$741 million), $714 million (95% CI: $620-$808 million), and $1.03 billion (95% CI $0.92 - $1.16 billion), or $13.5 million/year, $14.6 million/year, $21.0 million/year for half-penny, one-penny, and two-pennies-per-ounce taxes respectively. Conclusion: Using a computer simulation model, we showed how different increments of the penny-per-ounce SSB tax could result in substantial benefits within the NYC population in terms of CVD outcomes and overall health care cost savings. Results from the SHINE CVD model may inform the ongoing policymaking efforts.
