    Abstract "The field of infectious disease epidemiology has been front-and-center for the past few years. With the COVID-19 pandemic, an opportunity arose to provide "armchair epidemiologists" with a deeper understanding of the population-level impacts of infectious diseases, and the tools available to control them. This field has its own unique culture and set of tools and rules. We will utilize a whole new vocabulary in this book, from how to consider transmission-with the idea of a disease reproductive rate-to how disease is dispersed or clustered, and to how to design a study. As the reader will see, infectious disease epidemiologists seek to learn who is sick, why they are sick, and when and where they became sick"--

    Abstract As ongoing, sporadic outbreaks of hepatitis A virus (HAV) infections present public health challenges, it is critical to understand public perceptions about HAV, especially regarding vaccination. This study examines whether message framing changes the intention to vaccinate against HAV and self-reported vaccine behavior. Using a randomized controlled trial (N = 472) in February 2019 via Amazon Mechanical Turk, participants were randomized to one of four HAV vaccination message groups or a no-message control group. The message groups varied in their emphasis on the nature of outcomes (gain versus loss) and for whom (individual versus collective). The message frames were compared by intention to vaccinate, differences in message characteristics, and behavioral determinants. There was no difference in intention to vaccinate between gain- versus loss-framed messages (MD = 0.1, 95% CI = -0.1, 0.3) and individual- versus collective-framed messages (MD = 0.1, 95% CI = -0.1, 0.3). The intention to vaccinate against HAV in the no-message control group was very similar to that in the message groups. However, gain-framed messages were rated more positively in valence than loss-framed messages (MD = -0.5, 95% CI = -0.7, -0.3), which may be helpful for cultivating a positive public perception of HAV vaccination. The study also highlights the importance of comparing message frames to a no-message control in designing health communication messaging promoting HAV vaccination.

    Abstract A 31-year-old woman with end-stage kidney disease and with a bicuspid aortic valve presented with acute heart failure in the second trimester of pregnancy. The patient received a diagnosis of severe aortic stenosis and chose to continue the pregnancy against medical advice. Following a multidisciplinary team consultation, she underwent urgent transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

    Abstract Modeling of phase diagrams and, in particular, the anomalous re-entrant melting curves of alkali metals is an open challenge for interatomic potentials. Machine learning-based interatomic potentials have shown promise in overcoming this challenge, unlike earlier embedded atom-based approaches. We introduce a relatively simple and inexpensive approach to develop, train, and validate a neural network-based, wide-ranging interatomic potential transferable across both temperature and pressure. This approach is based on training the potential at high pressures only in the liquid phase and on validating its transferability on the relatively easy-to-calculate cold compression curve. Our approach is demonstrated on the phase diagram of Rb for which we reproduce the cold compression curve over the Rb-I (BCC), Rb-II (FCC), and Rb-V (tI4) phases, followed by the high-pressure melting curve including the re-entry after the maximum and then the minimum at the triple liquid-FCC-BCC point. Furthermore, our potential is able to partially capture even the very recently reported liquid-liquid transition in Rb, indicating the utility of machine learning-based potentials.

    Abstract Despite COVID-19 vaccination programs, the threat of new SARS-CoV-2 strains and continuing pockets of transmission persists. While many U.S. universities replaced their traditional nine-day spring 2021 break with multiple breaks of shorter duration, the effects these schedules have on reducing COVID-19 incidence remains unclear. The main objective of this study is to quantify the impact of alternative break schedules on cumulative COVID-19 incidence on university campuses. Using student mobility data and Monte Carlo simulations of returning infectious student size, we developed a compartmental susceptible-exposed-infectious-asymptomatic-recovered (SEIAR) model to simulate transmission dynamics among university students. As a case study, four alternative spring break schedules were derived from a sample of universities and evaluated. Across alternative multi-break schedules, the median percent reduction of total semester COVID-19 incidence, relative to a traditional nine-day break, ranged from 2 to 4% (for 2% travel destination prevalence) and 8-16% (for 10% travel destination prevalence). The maximum percent reduction from an alternate break schedule was estimated to be 37.6%. Simulation results show that adjusting academic calendars to limit student travel can reduce disease burden. Insights gleaned from our simulations could inform policies regarding appropriate planning of schedules for upcoming semesters upon returning to in-person teaching modalities.

Although symbiosis requires metabolic synchronization and coordination of cellular processes in the holobiont, the cross-talk between the host and symbiont's clocks is still puzzling.

    Abstract Purpose: Assess the refractive states of donkeys and goats.
    Methods: Forty-two donkeys and 28 goats were enrolled. The mean ± SD ages were 7.68 ± 7.33 years for donkeys and 4.26 ± 2.33 years for goats. Seven donkeys and one goat were <6 months old. Retinoscopy was performed in alert animals, following cycloplegia in goats but not in donkeys. Normality was determined using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The two primary meridians and two eyes were compared using Pearson's correlation and paired Student's t-tests. The association between refractive states and age was examined using one-way ANOVA in donkeys and a paired Student's t-test in goats. One-sample t-tests were conducted to assess if the refractive error distributions were significantly different from "0".
    Results: The mean ± SD spherical equivalent (SE) refractive errors of the right and left donkey eyes were -0.80 ± 1.03 D and -0.35 ± 0.95 D, respectively. The majority (86%) of the donkeys had an astigmatic refraction and eight (19%) had anisometropia. The mean SE refractive errors of the right and left goat eyes were -0.15 ± 1.1 D and -0.18 ± 1.2 D, respectively. The majority (54%) of the goat eyes had an astigmatic refraction and five (18%) had anisometropia. The right and left eye SE refractive errors were positively correlated in both species (both p = .9). Age was not correlated with refractive error in both donkeys (p = .09) and goats (p = .6).
    Conclusions: Both goats and donkeys are emmetropic.
