January 2025
Context: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic devastated societies and economies worldwide. Given the major disruptions to higher education, reflection on university responses to the COVID-19 pandemic may provide insights for future outbreaks.
Objective: Here, we describe the epidemiology of COVID-19 on the Emory University campus during the 2020-2021 academic year and provide an evaluation of the performance of a university-led program with the purpose of describing the effectiveness of efforts to augment the public health authority's case investigation and contact tracing efforts during a public health emergency.
Article Synopsis
- X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a genetic condition caused by a mutation affecting the regulation of FGF23, which can lead to cardiovascular issues, but the extent of these effects in XLH patients is unclear.
- A study involving 13 pediatric XLH patients evaluated the impact of a 2-year treatment with burosumab, measuring various health metrics including cardiovascular health through blood pressure and echocardiograms.
- Results showed significant improvements in linear growth, a decrease in rates of overweight/obesity, and a reduction in elevated blood pressure, with no adverse cardiac effects noted during the treatment period.
Unlabelled: Both Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and Noonan syndrome (NS) are RASopathies. Characteristic cardiac phenotypes of NS, including specific electrocardiographic changes, pulmonary valve stenosis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have not been completely studied in NF1.
Purpose: The aims of this study were to assess: (1) similarities in the prevalence and types of ECG and conventional echocardiographic findings described in NS in asymptomatic patients with NF1, and (2) the presence of discrete myocardial dysfunction in NF1 patients using myocardial strain imaging.
Background: The "September epidemic" is a well-described phenomenon of increased pediatric asthma-related health care utilization from August to September each year. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has brought about significant changes in health care utilization, warranting an investigation into its impact on the September epidemic.
Objective: Our aim was to identify the impact of COVID-19 in asthma-related health care utilization, specifically in the September epidemic.

Background: Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been concerns regarding the risks of infection in patients with autoimmune disease. In this study, we investigated the impact of the pandemic on patients with juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (JIIM).
Methods: Data were collected using a patient/caregiver survey via Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) database.
