Methodology used to develop the minimum common data elements for surveillance and Reporting of Musculoskeletal Injuries in the MILitary (ROMMIL) statement.

Background: The objective was to summarize the methodology used to reach consensus for recommended minimum data elements that should be collected and reported when conducting injury surveillance research in military settings. This paper summarizes the methodology used to develop the international Minimum Data Elements for surveillance and Reporting of Musculoskeletal Injuries in the MILitary (ROMMIL) statement.

Methods: A Delphi methodology was employed to reach consensus for minimum reporting elements.

Parent conversations with young children: Implications for child well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Parent-child conversations may minimize the impact of stressful situations on children's well-being. Parents were encouraged to talk with their children about the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, yet research suggests that parent stress in response to the pandemic was associated with disruptions in parenting and increased child emotional distress. In the present study, 205 parents of children aged 3-6 years (50.

The Human Cytomegalovirus vGPCR UL33 is Essential for Efficient Lytic Replication in Epithelial Cells.

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a β-herpesvirus which is ubiquitous in the human population. HCMV has the largest genome of all known human herpesviruses, and thus encodes a large array of proteins that affect pathogenesis in different cell types. Given the large genome and the ability of HCMV to replicate in a range of cells, investigators have begun to identify viral proteins required for cell type-specific replication.

Cytomegalovirus US28 regulates cellular EphA2 to maintain viral latency.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation from latency following immune dysregulation remains a serious risk for patients, often causing substantial morbidity and mortality. Here, we demonstrate the CMV-encoded G protein-coupled receptor, US28, in coordination with cellular Ephrin receptor A2, attenuates mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling, thereby limiting viral replication in latently infected primary monocytes. Furthermore, treatment of latently infected primary monocytes with dasatinib, a Food and Drug Association-approved kinase inhibitor used to treat a subset of leukemias, results in CMV reactivation.

Analysis of a Consecutive Retrospective Cohort of Strangulation Victims Evaluated by a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Consult Service.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to review the evaluation of strangulation victims assessed by a sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) service. The primary objective was to produce observational results on documented injury frequency and secondarily to explore advanced imaging use, outcomes, signs/symptoms, and documentation.

Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of a cohort of 130 consecutive strangled patients over a 42-month period evaluated by a SANE consult service in a metropolitan area.
