Protect or prevent? A practicable framework for the dilemmas of COVID-19 vaccine prioritization.
PLoS One

Determining COVID-19 vaccination strategies presents many challenges in light of limited vaccination capacity and the heterogeneity of affected communities. Who should be prioritized for early vaccination when different groups manifest different levels of risks and contact rates? Answering such questions often becomes computationally intractable given that network size can exceed millions. We obtain a framework to compute the optimal vaccination strategy within seconds to minutes from among all strategies, including highly dynamic ones that adjust vaccine allocation as often as required, and even with modest computation resources.

Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous perispinal infiltration of low dose of triamcinolone and lidocaine indicated for pain control in patients with cervical osteoarthritis (COA).

Technetium-99 m pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) scintigraphy and computerized tomography (CT) fusion scans images were used for diagnosis of COA and as a guide for level(s) of infiltration(s).
Antiseizure medication use in acute symptomatic seizures: A narrative review.
Epilepsia
January 2025
Epilepsy Center, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
Acute symptomatic seizures, occurring shortly after a central nervous system insult, constitute nearly half of all seizure cases. However, there is a conspicuous absence of clear, comprehensive, and cohesive guidelines for the management of these seizures with antiseizure medications, especially their duration of use. This lack of consensus on the optimal duration of therapy leads to prolonged treatments that may carry adverse consequences.
