Importance: Long COVID (ie, post-COVID-19 condition) is a substantial public health concern, and its association with health-related social needs, such as food insecurity, remains poorly understood. Identifying modifiable risk factors like food insecurity and interventions like food assistance programs is critical for reducing the health burden of long COVID.
Objective: To investigate the association of food insecurity with long COVID and to assess the modifying factors of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participation and employment status.

Study Design: Narrative review.
Objective: To synthesize current knowledge on radiographic parameters, classification systems, and compensatory mechanisms essential to the diagnosis and surgical planning of cervical spine deformity (CD) correction.
Summary Of Background Data: CD encompasses a heterogeneous set of conditions associated with neurological impairment and impaired health-related quality of life.

Background: Rotator cuff disease affects over 50% of individuals over age 70, with more than 250,000 rotator cuff repair (RCR) surgeries performed annually in the U.S. Despite its benefits, 20-30% of repairs fail, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are widely used to assess recovery, though none are fully validated for RCR-specific use.

Introduction: Much of Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk is explained by age, apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype, and sex. We sought to identify genetic modifiers of age at onset (AAO) of AD while probing the influence of sex and APOE among those with diverse ancestry.
Methods: We performed genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of AAO in two diverse samples followed by meta-analysis, contrasting results with and without adjustment for sex and APOE.

Retroviruses are single-stranded RNA viruses that package two copies of their positively stranded RNA genomes as a non-covalent dimer into newly formed virions. This process is evolutionarily conserved, and disruption of genome dimerization results in production of non-infectious virus particles. Genome dimers can be packaged as homodimers, containing two identical RNAs, or heterodimers, consisting of two genetically distinct copies.
