: Sitosterolemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by diverse clinical manifestations ranging from asymptomatic cases to the development of xanthomas, hypercholesterolemia, premature atherosclerosis, or even sudden death during childhood. It results from homozygous or compound heterozygous pathogenic variants in the or genes. Prompt detection and intervention are essential to managing this condition and preventing severe outcomes.

- * The simultaneous presence of Delta and Omicron variants raised concerns about co-infection and potential genetic recombination, as revealed through genomic sequencing of viral RNA samples from positive cases.
- * A study identified a case of co-infection with Delta AY.57 and Omicron BA.1, as well as two recombinant cases with traits from Delta AY.57 and Omicron BA.2, underscoring the importance of genomic surveillance for tracking viral mutations and changes in transmissibility or severity.
Objectives: We investigated the genetic variations in the Alpha, Delta, and Omicron variants of SARS-CoV-2 and their association with clinical status and treatment outcomes in patients with COVID-19.
Methods: MiSeq was used to sequence the Alpha, Delta, and Omicron genomes, and MEGA 6.6 was used to define the nucleotide variations.
Background: COVID-19 impacted all students, especially those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), putting them at risk for disruption to their medication regimen and school performance. Our study aimed to identify if ADHD medication regimens were disrupted through analyzing prescription refills and if telehealth management demonstrated a higher rate of adherence.
Methods: A total of 396 patients from the General Academic Pediatrics (GAP) clinic at Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters (CHKD) were included in the study.
