National Eye Institute (NEI)-funded randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have significantly shaped the modern landscape of keratoplasty for endothelial disorders. Unlike retrospective studies, RCTs have offered the highest level of clinical evidence and have addressed critical questions related to histocompatibility matching, donor and donor tissue characteristics, donor tissue storage, and operative and postoperative factors supporting postoperative endothelial cell health. These RCTs have in turn directly influenced eye banking and keratoplasty practices.

Objectives: Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) poses an occupational risk for poultry workers, responders, and others in contact with infected birds. The objective of this analysis was to describe HPAI surveillance methods and outcomes, and highlight the challenges, successes, and lessons learned during the Minnesota Department of Health's (MDH's) public health response to HPAI outbreaks in Minnesota poultry flocks in the years 2015 and 2022-2023.
Methods: During both outbreaks, MDH staff attempted to contact all potentially exposed people and conduct a standardized interview.

Context: The illicit drug landscape in the United States is dynamic, featuring a risky and erratic drug supply. Drug checking programs (DCP) have been successfully implemented and studied extensively in Canada and Europe but are scarce in the United States. Integrating DCP at harm reduction programs provides an opportunity to engage people at the point-of-care and deliver a combination of harm reduction services, access to healthcare services, and linkages to treatment.
