Introduction: Using data from the large and geographically diverse Military Health System (MHS) beneficiary population, we aimed to characterize and update the epidemiology and microbiology of pediatric orbital cellulitis given previous data are limited to small, single-center studies.
Materials And Methods: Following institutional review board approval, we performed a retrospective analysis using the Military Health System admissions, microbiology, and pharmacy data between June 2009 and September 2019. Patients less than 22 years of age with radiological confirmation of orbital cellulitis were included.
Purpose: Participant engagement in an online physical activity (PA) intervention is described and baseline factors related to engagement are identified.
Design: Longitudinal Study Within Randomized Controlled Trial.
Setting: Online/Internet.

In 2010, the United States Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) created the National ALS Registry (Registry) to examine the epidemiology of ALS and potential risk factors.

To date, we have recruited 181 non-diseased, population-based controls for comparison to Registry cases ( = 280).
