In late 2022, there was a significant increase in the prevalence of RSV in the northeastern United States. This surge occurred concurrently with the beginning of the traditional influenza season and the ongoing circulation of SARS-CoV-2. We retrospectively analyzed respiratory testing data at a regional reference laboratory from September 2022 to April 2024 to characterize the prevalence and incidence of co-detection of RSV, influenza A, influenza B, and SARS-CoV-2 in the northeastern United States. The positivity rates were found to be 16.68% for SARS-CoV-2, 11.66% for influenza A, 0.83% for influenza B, and 9.11% for RSV during the study period. Co-detections were observed in 0.49% of samples, with SARS-CoV-2/influenza A co-detection being the most common. Co-detections occurred less frequently than expected based on individual positivity rates. During the study period, influenza B positivity increased over 10-fold, SARS-CoV-2 positivity decreased by 60%, and co-detection was more prevalent in the pediatric population.

Background: While the solid organ transplant evaluation process is designed to function equitably, discriminatory practices remain, resulting in disparities in access for persons with disabilities. Physical function and frailty status are often-cited factors in establishing transplant, despite limited consensus on their assessment and impact.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe how transplant healthcare professionals conceptualize the relationship between physical disability and transplant candidacy.

Human ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD) is the most common ureagenesis disorder in the world. OTCD is an X-linked genetic deficiency in which patients experience hyperammonemia to varying degrees depending on the severity of the genetic mutation. More than two-thirds of the known mutations are caused by single nucleotide substitutions.

The chemical cycles carried out by bacteria and archaea living in coastal sediments are vital aspects of benthic ecology. These ecosystems are subject to physical disruption, which may allow for increased respiration and complex carbon consumption - impacting chemical cycling in this environment often thought to be a terminal place of deposition. We use the redox-enzyme sensitive probe RedoxSensor Green to measure rates of electron transfer physiology in individual sulfate reducer cells residing in anoxic sediment, subjected to transient exposure of oxygen and laminarin.

Objectives: First, to compare body checking behaviors among boys and men with probable muscle dysmorphia or probable anorexia nervosa/atypical anorexia nervosa vs. those with neither. Second, to determine whether there is a difference in body checking behaviors between boys and men with probable muscle dysmorphia vs.
