Florida's Risk Protection Order Cases and Intimate Partner Violence: A Descriptive Study.

In Florida, risk protection orders (RPOs) allow law enforcement to petition the court to temporarily prohibit firearm purchase and possession by an individual who behaves dangerously and is at risk of engaging in violence against themselves or others. RPOs are also known as extreme RPOs or red flag laws. We collected all ( = 4,695) Florida RPO cases filed from March 2018 (when the policy was enacted) to June 2020 and coded a random sample ( = 2,406) to examine how RPOs have been implemented in Florida, a state that has granted substantially more RPO cases than any other state analyzed thus far.

Odontalgia may be an early prodromal symptom when herpes zoster involves the oral and maxillofacial region, which lays significant emphasis on the role of a dentist in early diagnosis and treatment of the infection.

Increased Intracranial Pressure in Myelin-Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody-Associated Disease.

Objectives: To assess characteristics of increased intracranial pressure (ICP) in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD).

Methods: This is a multicenter retrospective review of 84 MOGAD cases at the University of Florida, Baylor College of Medicine, the University of California San Diego, and Providence Health and Services, Portland, Oregon, to identify cases with a documented increased opening pressure >25 cm H2O. A literature review was conducted to identify previously reported MOGAD cases with an opening pressure >25 cm H2O.
