    Abstract We evaluated the effects of engaging in extemporaneous speech in healthy young adults while they walked in a virtual environment meant to elicit low or high levels of mobility-related anxiety. We expected that mobility-related anxiety imposed by a simulated balance threat (i.e., virtual elevation) would impair walking behavior and lead to greater dual-task costs. Altogether, 15 adults (age = 25.6 ± 4.7 yrs, 7 women) walked at their self-selected speed within a VR environment that simulated a low (ground) and high elevation (15 m) setting while speaking extemporaneously (dual-task) or not speaking (single-task). Likert-scale ratings of cognitive and somatic anxiety, confidence, and mental effort were evaluated and gait speed, step length, and step width, as well as the variability of each, was calculated for every trial. Silent speech pauses (> 150 ms) were determined from audio recordings to infer the cognitive costs of extemporaneous speech planning at low and high virtual elevation. Results indicated that the presence of a balance threat and the inclusion of a concurrent speech task both perturbed gait kinematics, but the virtual height illusion led to increased anxiety and mental effort and a decrease in confidence. The extemporaneous speech pauses were longer on average when walking, but no effects of virtual elevation were reported. Trends toward interaction effects arose in self-reported responses, with participants reporting more comfort walking at virtual heights if they engaged in extemporaneous speech. Walking at virtual elevation and while talking may have independent and significant effects on gait; both effects were robust and did not support an interaction when combined (i.e., walking and talking at virtual heights). The nature of extemporaneous speech may have distracted participants from the detrimental effects of walking in anxiety-inducing settings.

    Abstract Background: This study analyzed the overall incidence of delirium, comorbid conditions, injury patterns, and pharmacological risk factors for the development of delirium in an alert, geriatric trauma population.
    Methods: IRB-approved, prospective, consecutive cohort series at two Southeastern Level 1 trauma centers from June 11 to August 15, 2023. Delirium was assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) score. Comorbidities and medications were detailed from electronic medical records. Inclusion criteria: age ≥55, GCS ≥14, and ICU admission for trauma. Patients on a ventilator were excluded. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 28 (Armonk, NY: IBM Corp).
    Results: In total, 196 patients met inclusion criteria. Incidences of delirium for Hospital 1 (n = 103) and Hospital 2 (n = 93) were 15.5% and 12.9%, respectively, with an overall incidence of 14.3% and with no statistical differences between hospitals (
    Discussion: Comorbidities of CAD, CHF, CKD, and depression, and these medications: home lorazepam and ICU epinephrine/norepinephrine statistically are more common in patients developing delirium. Dementia, CKD, home SSRI/SRNI and stroke/cerebrovascular disease/injury, and spine injuries are independent predictors by BLR.

    Abstract Objective: Pediatric researchers use Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Kids' Inpatient Database (KID) and National Inpatient Sample (NIS) to analyze the national resource use and outcomes of hospitalized children. Inherent KID-NIS sampling design differences may yield disparate findings. We compared discharge counts and length of stay (LOS) between KID and NIS for common and rare reasons for hospitalization.
    Methods: Retrospective analysis of differences in discharges counts and geometric mean LOS for children ages 0-20 years from KID and NIS in 2019, measured for normal newborns and 331 additional reasons for admission, distinguished by All-Payer Refined Diagnosis Related Groups (APR-DRG) and categorized in deciles by annual discharge volume. We followed AHRQ instructions for data clustering, stratification, and weighting to accommodate the KID and NIS designs, including random samples of 80% and 20% of pediatric discharges, respectively, per hospital.
    Results: KID-NIS differences in national estimates for total annual discharge counts differed by only 0.5% for normal newborns and 3.7% for all other admission reasons in children. KID-NIS differences remained small aside from reasons for admission in the two lowest volume deciles: 9.5% (SD 7.9%) for admission volumes 200-520; 41.1% (SD 64.2%) for volumes <200. KID-NIS LOS differences for these two-lowest volume deciles were 7.9% (SD 7.1%) and 26.0% (SD 29.3%), respectively.
    Conclusions: Although KID-NIS differences in discharge counts and LOS were small for high-volume admissions, the differences increased with reasons for admission that had annual discharge volumes approximately 500 or less. For study populations with discharge counts <500, KID may be preferred, given its higher sampling of discharges per hospital.

    Abstract Background: Asthma is a leading cause of pediatric hospitalization in the United States. Children hospitalized with asthma are often managed in different care settings during hospitalization, posing challenges to accurate communication among care providers about illness severity. Our objective was to study the feasibility, reliability, and safety of a new pediatric hospital-wide asthma severity score (HASS) across different care units within a single tertiary-care pediatric center.
    Methods: 150 patients between the ages of 2 and 18 years hospitalized with a principal diagnosis of status asthmaticus were included in this study. Study patients were followed from the time of initial triage in the emergency department until the time of medical readiness for discharge. Rates of medical errors, early transfers to a higher level of care and medically indicated hospital length of stay (LOS) were compared between 75 patients before and 75 patients after widespread implementation of the HASS using retrospective chart review and anonymous staff reporting. Interrater reliability was determined by collecting independent HASS scores from blinded staff members after tandem or simultaneous patient assessment.
    Results: Interrater reliability among untrained staff members using the HASS was high. Hospital LOS, rates of adverse events, medical errors, and early transfer to a higher level of care were not significantly different before and after widespread HASS implementation.
    Conclusion: The HASS is a reliable asthma severity tool that can be used throughout hospitalization and among multiple clinical providers to trend clinical progress and optimize communication, particularly during times of care handoffs.

    Abstract Introduction and hypothesis: Transobturator slings (TOS) are inferior to retropubic slings (RPS) based on long-term outcomes; data on complications is critical for patient counseling. We hypothesized rates of urinary retention would be higher for RPS, while pain and repeat sling surgery would be higher for TOS.
    Methods: Using the Premier healthcare database we identified encounters for patients undergoing a midurethral sling procedure between 2010 and 2020. Patients were stratified by sling type, either RPS or TOS. The primary outcome was the difference in the composite complication rate between groups within 12 months. Statistical analysis was performed using Kruskal Wallis test for continuous variables and χ
    Results: 36,991 patients were included in the RPS group and 16,371 in the TOS group. 7,880 patients (14.8%) had at least one sling specific complication. On multivariable logistic regression, RPS patients were more likely to have urinary retention (OR 1.29, 95%CI 1.16-1.43), sling lysis/excision (OR 1.29, 95%CI 1.10-1.53), and hematoma/hemorrhage (OR 1.82, 95%CI 1.16-2.86); they were less likely to have a UTI (OR 0.88, 95%CI 0.82-0.96) or repeat sling (OR 0.60, 95%CI 0.46-0.78). In patients with urinary retention, RPS patients were more likely to undergo sling lysis than TOS (p = 0.012).
    Conclusions: Significant complications after midurethral synthetic sling are overall rare. RPS are associated with a higher rate of perioperative bleeding and sling lysis/excision due to urinary retention, but less likely to be associated with UTI and treatment failure.

    Abstract Laboratory and field-based studies of the invasive mosquito Aedes albopictus demonstrate its competency to transmit over twenty different pathogens linked to a broad range of vertebrate hosts. The vectorial capacity of Ae. albopictus to transmit these pathogens remains unclear, partly due to knowledge gaps regarding its feeding behavior. Blood meal analyses from field-captured specimens have shown vastly different feeding patterns, with a wide range of anthropophagy (human feeding) and host diversity. To address this knowledge gap, we asked whether differences in innate host preference may drive observed variation in Ae. albopictus feeding patterns in nature. Low generation colonies (F2-F4) were established with field-collected mosquitoes from three populations with high reported anthropophagy (Thailand, Cameroon, and Florida, USA) and three populations in the United States with low reported anthropophagy (New York, Maryland, and Virginia). The preference of these Ae. albopictus colonies for human versus non-human animal odor was assessed in a dual-port olfactometer along with control Ae. aegypti colonies already known to show divergent behavior in this assay. All Ae. albopictus colonies were less likely (p < 0.05) to choose the human-baited port than the anthropophilic Ae. aegypti control, instead behaving similarly to zoophilic Ae. aegypti. Our results suggest that variation in reported Ae. albopictus feeding patterns are not driven by differences in innate host preference, but may result from differences in host availability. This work is the first to compare Ae. albopictus and Ae. aegypti host preference directly and provides insight into differential vectorial capacity and human feeding risk.

    Abstract Aims: Swine are a mixing vessel for the emergence of novel reassortant influenza A viruses (IAV). Interspecies transmission of swine-origin IAV poses a public health and pandemic risk. In the United States, the majority of zoonotic IAV transmission events have occurred in association with swine exposure at agricultural fairs. Accordingly, this human-animal interface necessitates mitigation strategies informed by understanding of interspecies transmission mechanisms in exhibition swine. Likewise, the diversity of IAV in swine can be a source for novel reassortant or mutated viruses that pose a risk to both swine and human health.
    Methods and results: In an effort to better understand those risks, here we investigated the epidemiology of IAV in exhibition swine and subsequent transmission to humans by performing phylogenetic analyses using full genome sequences from 272 IAV isolates collected from exhibition swine and 23 A(H3N2)v viruses from human hosts during 2013-2015. Sixty-seven fairs (24.2%) had at least one pig test positive for IAV with an overall estimated prevalence of 8.9% (95% CI: 8.3-9.6, Clopper-Pearson). Of the 19 genotypes found in swine, 5 were also identified in humans. There was a positive correlation between the number of human cases of a genotype and its prevalence in exhibition swine. Additionally, we demonstrated that A(H3N2)v viruses clustered tightly with exhibition swine viruses that were prevalent in the same year.
    Conclusions: These data indicate that multiple genotypes of swine-lineage IAV have infected humans, and highly prevalent IAV genotypes in exhibition swine during a given year are also the strains detected most frequently in human cases of variant IAV. Continued surveillance and rapid characterization of IAVs in exhibition swine can facilitate timely phenotypic evaluation and matching of candidate vaccine strains to those viruses present at the human-animal interface which are most likely to spillover into humans.
