During 2023, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended the first respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) immunizations intended for widespread use in the United States to prevent severe RSV illness in infants and older adults. CDC, in collaboration with federal, public health, and academic partners, is conducting evaluations of real-world effectiveness of recommended RSV immunization products in the United States. Similar frameworks for evaluation are being applied to RSV vaccines and nirsevimab, a long-acting preventative monoclonal antibody, to estimate product effectiveness. The overall goal of CDC's RSV immunization effectiveness program is to generate timely and robust evidence through observational studies to inform immunization product policy decisions and other measures related to RSV prevention and control. CDC is evaluating effectiveness through high-quality, well-controlled observational studies leveraging a variety of platforms that provide robust data to inform policy decisions.

Over 25% of people in the United States are affected by physical disabilities, leading to regular interactions between the disabled community and veterinary ophthalmology. However, various barriers hinder individuals with disabilities from accessing care for their pets, working in veterinary clinics, pursuing training as veterinarians and veterinary ophthalmologists, and continuing their careers as disabilities develop. This article explores strategies for the veterinary ophthalmology community to implement positive changes that enhance access and inclusivity within clinics and the profession at practical, institutional, and cultural levels.

Buprenorphine and postpartum contraception utilization among people with opioid use disorder: a multi-state analysis.

Addict Sci Clin Pract

January 2025

Departments of Family and Community Medicine and Health and Clinical Outcomes Research, Saint Louis University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, MO, USA.

Background: The postpartum period provides an opportunity for birthing people with opioid use disorder (OUD) to consider their future reproductive health goals. However, the relationship between the use of medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) and contraception utilization is not well understood. We used multistate administrative claims data to compare contraception utilization rates among postpartum people with OUD initiating buprenorphine (BUP) versus no medication (psychosocial services receipt without MOUD (PSY)) in the United States (US).

Background: There is growing interest in use of transcutaneous spinal stimulation (TSS) for people with neurologic conditions both to augment volitional control (by facilitating motoneuron excitability), and to decrease spasticity (by activating inhibitory networks). Various electrode montages are used during TSS, with little understanding of how electrode position influences spinal circuit activation. We sought to identify the thoracolumbar electrode montage associated with the most robust activation of spinal circuits by comparing posterior root-muscle reflexes (PRM reflexes) elicited by 6 montages.
