    Abstract Introduction: This study identifies changes in Veterans Crisis Line (VCL) contact volume following the 988 National Suicide Prevention Hotline rollout, and examines changes in contact volume for self-identified Veterans.
    Methods: VCL's Medora database was analyzed from July 2018 to June 2023, fitting linear interrupted time series models to forecast trends after the July 2022 rollout of the 988 Suicide Prevention Hotline. Data analysis was performed from 2023 to 2024.
    Results: After the 988 rollout, average monthly VCL contact volume increased by 5,388 contacts (8.2%). The number of contacts self-identifying as Veterans increased by 2,739 (6.2%), while the percentage of self-identifying Veteran contacts who could be linked to VHA records declined by 3.8%.
    Conclusions: The 988 rollout was associated with increased VCL contact volume and broad changes in the profile of users. This underscores the importance of crisis services in adapting to dynamic user needs and highlights the potential of national suicide prevention initiatives to reach diverse populations.

    Abstract Dengue viruses (DENV) continue to cause large outbreaks in tropical countries, while chikungunya and Zika (ZIKV) viruses have added complexity to Aedes-borne disease prevention and control efforts. Because these viruses are transmitted by the same vectors in urban areas, it is useful to understand if sequential outbreaks caused by these viruses have commonalities, such as similar seasonal and spatial patterns, that would help anticipate and perhaps prevent future outbreaks. We explored and analyzed the heterogeneity of confirmed cases of DENV (2010-2014 and 2015-2022) and ZIKV (2016-2017) during outbreaks in the San Juan metropolitan area of Puerto Rico to explore their degree of overlap and prioritize areas for Aedes aegypti control. Deidentified, georeferenced case data were aggregated into grid cells (500 × 500 m) within a geographical information system of the study area and analyzed to calculate the degree of overlap between outbreaks. Spatial autocorrelations using local indicators of spatial associations were conducted to identify significant disease case hot spots and correlations between outbreaks. We found that 75% of cases during the three transmission periods were concentrated in 25% of the total number of grid cells covering the study area. We also found significant clustering of cases during each outbreak, enabling identification of consistent disease hot spots. Our results showed 85% spatial overlap between cases of ZIKV in 2015-2017 and DENV in 2010-2014 and 97% overlap between DENV cases in 2010-2014 and 2015-2022. These results reveal urban areas at greater risk of future arbovirus outbreaks that should be prioritized for vector control.

    Abstract Objective: To describe a low-dose buprenorphine initiation strategy with buccal buprenorphine.
    Methods: This is a case series of hospitalized patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) and/or chronic pain who underwent low-dose buprenorphine initiation with buccal buprenorphine to sublingual buprenorphine. Results are descriptively reported.
    Results: Forty-five patients underwent low-dose buprenorphine initiation from January 2020 to July 2021. Twenty-two (49%) patients had OUD only, 5 (11%) patients had chronic pain only, and 18 (40%) patients had both OUD and chronic pain. Thirty-six (80%) patients had documented history of heroin or non-prescribed fentanyl use before admission. Acute pain in 34 (76%) patients was the most commonly documented rationale for low-dose buprenorphine initiation. Methadone was the most common outpatient opioid utilized before admission (53%). The addiction medicine service consulted on 44 (98%) cases and median length of stay was approximately 2 weeks. Thirty-six (80%) patients completed the transition to sublingual buprenorphine with a median completion dose of 16 mg daily. Of the 24 patients (53%) with consistently documented Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale scores, no patients experienced severe opioid withdrawal. Fifteen (62.5%) experienced mild or moderate withdrawal and 9 (37.5%) experienced no withdrawal (Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale score <5) during the entire process. Continuity of postdischarge prescription refills ranged from 0 to 37 weeks and the median number of buprenorphine refills was 7 weeks.
    Conclusions: Low-dose buprenorphine initiation with buccal buprenorphine to sublingual buprenorphine was well tolerated and can be safely and effectively utilized for patients whose clinical scenario precludes traditional buprenorphine initiation strategies.

    Abstract Background and objectives: To describe the neurobehavioral phenotype of congenital myotonic dystrophy. Congenital myotonic dystrophy (CDM) is the most severe form of myotonic dystrophy, characterized by symptom presentation at birth and later, cognitive impairment, autistic features, and disordered sleep.
    Methods: The neurobehavioral phenotype was assessed in this cross-sectional study by a neuropsychological battery consisting of the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, Third Edition, Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fourth Edition, Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale, Second Edition (Vineland-II), Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function including preschool and teacher reports, Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire, Social Communication Scale, and Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised. Sleep quality was evaluated with the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire and Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale.
    Results: Fifty-five children with CDM, ages 5 weeks to 14 years, were enrolled. The mean age and (CTG)
    Discussion: Depressed IQ, adaptive skills, and executive functioning, poor sleep quality, and features of autism and altered social functioning individually describe different aspects of the neurobehavioral phenotype in CDM. These neurobehavioral and sleep measures could help quantitatively measure and assess the burden of cognitive impairment in CDM.

    Abstract In burn patients, vitamin D deficiency has been associated with increased incidence of sepsis and infectious complications. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of vitamin D deficiency in adult burn patients on hospital length of stay (LOS). This was a multi-center retrospective study of adult patients at 7 burn centers admitted over a 3.5 year period, who had a 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration drawn within the first 7 days of injury. Of 1,147 patients screened, 412 were included. Fifty-seven percent were vitamin D deficient. Patients with vitamin D deficiency had longer LOS (18.0 vs 12.0 days, p < 0.001), acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring renal replacement therapy (7.3 vs 1.7%, p = 0.009), more days requiring vasopressors (mean 1.24 vs 0.58 days, p = 0.008), and fewer ventilator free days of the first 28 days (mean 22.9 vs 25.1, p < 0.001). Univariable analysis identified burn center, AKI, TBSA, inhalation injury, admission concentration, days until concentration drawn, days until initiating supplementation, and dose as significantly associated with LOS. After controlling for center, TBSA, age, and inhalation injury, vitamin D deficiency was associated with longer LOS. In conclusion, patients with thermal injuries and vitamin D deficiency on admission have increased length of stay and worsened clinical outcomes as compared to patients with non-deficient vitamin D concentrations.

    Abstract Wastewater surveillance has been used to assist public health authorities in tracking local transmission of SARS-CoV-2. The usefulness of wastewater surveillance to track community spread of other respiratory pathogens, including influenza virus and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), is less clear. During the 2022-23 respiratory diseases season, concentrations of influenza A virus and RSV in wastewater samples in three major Wisconsin cities were compared with emergency department (ED) visits associated with these pathogens. In all three cities, higher concentrations of influenza A virus and RSV in wastewater were associated with higher numbers of associated ED visits (Kendall's tau range = 0.50-0.63 for influenza-associated illness and 0.30-0.49 for RSV-associated illness). Detections of both influenza A virus and RSV in wastewater often preceded a rise in associated ED visits for each pathogen, and virus material remained detectable in wastewater for up to 3 months after pathogen-specific ED visits declined. These results demonstrate that wastewater surveillance has the potential to complement conventional methods of influenza and RSV surveillance, detecting viral signals earlier and for a longer duration than do clinical data. Continued use of wastewater surveillance as a supplement to established surveillance systems such as ED visits might improve local understanding and response to seasonal respiratory virus outbreaks.

    Abstract Background: Accurate electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation is critical for safe patient care, making this skill a necessary competency for medical school graduation. Improved long-term memory retention with repeated exposure to material is one of the most evidenced-based components of adult learning science. This curricular innovation aimed to determine if implementing spaced repetition and retrieval practice using ECG quizzes during the principal clinical year would improve ECG interpretation skills among medical students enrolled in a Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship (LIC).
    Approach: The curricular innovation applied the spacing effect and retrieval practice. Cognitive science demonstrates enhanced long-term retention through repeated interval exposure to learned material. Studies of spaced retrieval indicate that memory retention is enhanced through tests involving effortful recall. LIC students in an intervention group were exposed to the spacing effect with periodic ECG quizzes throughout their clinical clerkship year.
    Evaluation: The results of the 17-item post-test for 140 students were analysed: LIC intervention, N = 54; block control, N = 62; and LIC control, N = 24. The ANOVA test was significant (p < 0.001). Games-Howell post hoc testing showed that the mean score in the LIC intervention group was significantly higher compared with the LIC control group (p < 0.001) and the block control group (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference between the LIC control and block control groups (p = 0.59).
    Implications: Spaced repetition of material through ECG quizzes improved ECG interpretation skills on an ECG post-test and mitigates the forgetting curve, maintaining student competency in ECG interpretation.
