Rotavirus is a leading cause of diarrhea among children but less known as a cause among adults. We describe clinical, epidemiologic, and genotype characteristics of a rotavirus outbreak among adults in King County, Washington occurring January-June 2023. Adult rotavirus incidence in 2023 was ten times higher than the same period in 2022 (5% versus 0.5% samples). Disease severity was mild. G9P[4], an uncommon, non-vaccine strain in USA, was the predominant genotype. Genotyping suggested spillover from children with subsequent spread among adults. Our study highlights benefits of routine testing and genotyping during outbreaks for surveillance, tracking, and understanding implications on vaccination.

Introduction: Punding is a unique stereotypical, repetitive, non-goal-directed behavior characterized by an intense fascination with daily objects. This behavior although commonly seen in dementia patients is relatively less studied. In this study, we aimed to assess the effectiveness of combination treatment of escitalopram and risperidone treatment in the punding behavior of dementia patients.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is associated with sleep disturbances. Moreover, individuals with sleep disturbances have been reported to have a higher risk for developing AD. The measurement of sleep behavior therefore opens the opportunity for a potential digital biomarker of AD.

Introduction: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide receptor agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors are used increasingly in patients receiving peri-operative care. These drugs may be associated with risks of peri-operative pulmonary aspiration or euglycaemic ketoacidosis. We produced a consensus statement for the peri-operative management of adults taking these drugs.

Aims: We aimed to perform a retrospective cohort study using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (WONDER) database to analyse the trends in cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related mortality in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) from 1999 to 2020.
Methods And Results: We analysed the death certificate data from the CDC WONDER database from 1999 to 2020 for CVD with co-morbid myeloproliferative disorders in the US population. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed per 1 million population by standardizing crude mortality rates to the 2000 US census population.
Vitamin C-Based Gingival Depigmentation Versus Surgical Depigmentation: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

This study aimed at comparing gingival depigmentation by locally injected vitamin C with surgical depigmentation, in terms of effectiveness and patient acceptability. Forty-two patients presenting with ethnicity-related hyperpigmentation were randomly divided into two groups, Group I ( = 21) was treated with locally injected vitamin C and Group II ( = 21) was treated by surgical depigmentation. The outcome was assessed using Gingival Pigmentation Index (GPI) and Skin Hyperpigmentation Index (SHI).
