Several adverse cutaneous reactions have been reported in the literature after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination with emerging reports on chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). However, there is little literature of chronic urticaria after COVID-19 boosters in a military population and the impact on operational readiness. We present a retrospective case series of CSU following Moderna COVID-19 booster vaccinations at the US Naval Academy (USNA).

- Mycoplasma genitalium is an emerging sexually transmitted infection that can cause serious health issues like urethritis in men and pelvic inflammatory disease in women, with a prevalence similar to long-known pathogens like Chlamydia and Gonorrhea.
- A study conducted at Tripler Army Medical Center tested 1,876 specimens over six months, revealing an overall M. genitalium prevalence of 8.8%, with higher rates in males (11.6%) compared to females (7.1%).
- Coinfection with M. genitalium was observed in 18.3% of cases, primarily alongside Chlamydia trachomatis, highlighting the need for improved STI screening and awareness in military populations.
Objectives: SF3B1 mutations are the most common mutations in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The International Working Group for the Prognosis of MDS (IWG-PM) recently proposed SF3B1-mutant MDS (SF3B1-mut-MDS) as a distinct disease subtype. We evaluated the spectrum and molecular landscape of SF3B1-mutated myeloid disorders and assessed the prognostication in MDS harboring SF3B1 mutations (MDS-SF3B1).
